AfterWyrd - Brain Drugs, Ghosts & Tapestry Penises!


Listen Later

Hello and welcome to AfterWyrd, the bonus show where your favourite Wyrdo's, Andy and Craig, take on the weird news and odd goings-on that couldn't quite fit into the main episode.


In this episode:
  • Brain Drugs & the Slenderman Stabbing: Craig shares a story about how scientists are using LSD to develop a potential new drug for brain disorders like schizophrenia, linking it back to the previous Slenderman episode.
  • A Ghost's Prophecy: We delve into the strange tale of a woman who claims a ghost named "Seven" has predicted the world's end via a nuclear blast, and how the spirit's past "prophecies" supposedly came true.
  • A Cult of One: The Wyrdo's discuss the common pitfalls of doomsday cults and why they should never predict a specific date for the end of the world.
  • Horror Film Talk: We get stuck into some film chat, covering the 28 Days Later franchise, the excellent prequel Prey, and the found-footage Zoom horror film, Host.
  • The Bayeux Tapestry Controversy: We weigh in on a very important historical debate: whether a dangling shape on the famous Bayeux Tapestry is the sheath of a dagger or a penis.
