In this edition of AfterWyrd, Andy and Craig investigate a massive array of "Wyrd" news—from the liminal spaces of the hospital ward to the literal explosive hazards of antique collecting. We dive into a chilling listener account of "slithering" entities and ask: when the veil is thin, what exactly is looking back at us?

The Wyrd News:

• Hospital Shadow People: A terrifying listener story from Rosie. We discuss the "slithering" creatures seen by those on the cusp of the other side and the strange link to Tom Hirons’ "Black Dog" hallucinations.
• The Yorkshire Slender Man: Breaking down the viral footage of a gangly, tall figure haunting a Yorkshire road. Is it a modern cryptid, or just a very long night out in Newcastle?
• Havana Syndrome & The Warminster Thing: A scientist tests a pulsed energy weapon on himself to "disprove" the phenomenon—and ends up with the symptoms. Is this the modern explanation for the 1960s "Warminster Thing"?
• The Toulouse Bombshell: A literal emergency room evacuation in France involving a 24-year-old, a 16cm World War I artillery shell, and a very questionable choice of internal storage.
• Etsy’s Witch Hunt: Why the platform is banning spellcasters and love charms, and why some priests now believe the devil "penetrates through radio waves."
• Satanic Slalom? Why the 2026 Winter Olympics opening ceremony in Milan is being branded "satanic" by the "revelation of the method" crowd.
• Obama’s UFO Speed-Round: The former President admits "Aliens are real" but keeps his cards close to his chest regarding Area 51.
• A Tribute to Nick Pope: We share a somber update on the legendary MoD UFO researcher following his stage four cancer diagnosis.
• From the Library: The Folklore of Warminster (1924): We shares snippets from V.S. Manly’s vintage collection, including the Blacksmith’s Ghost and the legend of the Haunted Sheepskin

If you see a slithering shadow in the ward or find a WWI relic where it shouldn't be:
