  • Blurry Hysteria: Heads Up & Hairballs Galore! | 395

    This week on Blurry Hysteria, we dive into some truly hair-raising (and head-turning) stories! First, we unravel the bizarre case of Rapunzel syndrome as surgeons pull a massive 2.5-inch hairball from a teen’s stomach. Then, a Florida beachgoer makes a shocking discovery—a human head washed ashore. Is it a clue to a larger mystery or just another day in the Sunshine State? You can’t make this stuff up— but it does give Conspiracy Bot ideas. Tune in for the weird this week on Blurry Hysteria!

  • Sad Photos: Walmart Ovens and Kentucky Chaos | BONUS

    This week, Blurry Hysteria turns the weird dial to Kentucky via Canada (AKA 11) as we delve into stories you won’t believe (but probably wish you could un-hear). First, we head to Nova Scotia, where a shocking discovery in a Walmart oven raises questions (and eyebrows). Then, it’s off to good old Kentucky for a tale that’s equal parts crime drama and macabre mystery as body parts lead to an arrest that feels ripped from a horror flick. Tune in for all the bizarre twists, ridiculous theories, and the dark humor that drives Kevin Crispin crazy. Oh yeah, Mr. Sad Times Podcast himself is here too this week!

  • Raking in the Scares: The Creepypasta Standout | 394

    The Rake

    One of the internet's most enduring creepypastas—a story of a terrifying creature that preys on unsuspecting people in their sleep. Born from the online world, it quickly gained popularity, growing from a simple, scary tale into a fully-fledged phenomenon. This week we dive into its evolution, influence on pop culture, and its impact on those who’ve encountered stories about it, on Hysteria 51.

  • Lost Cosmonauts | 393

    Check your struts and chutes, Flora is blasting off straight into the heart of the lost cosmonaut conspiracy theory! A conspiracy involving Soviet coverup of terrible atrocities, the lost cosmonaut theory deals with purported evidence of death after death in the race for space supremacy. Cries into the abyss, a faltering heartbeat, and airbrushed photos are just a few aspects of this theory. David delves deeply into the lore, examining audio files, photographs, and claims made by theorists. Just how bad was the loss of life? Was Yuri Gagarin really the first person in space? What can you even believe anymore? Sit back and let Flora take you on an audio odyssey to the 60s and beyond in this episode of Hysteria 51!

    • Sad Blurry Hysteria: Cocaine Ghost Clones | BONUS

      This week on Blurry Hysteria, the bizarre meter is cranked up to 11 as we dive into some truly wild stories with special guest Kevin Crispin from Sad Times Podcast. First up, are Florida's sharks turning into apex party animals, gobbling up cocaine in the waters? Next, a Montana man is sentenced for selling giant sheep—yes, you read that right, GIANT CLONED HYBRIDIZED SHEEP! Finally, Queen Camilla is reportedly attacked by a bed-hopping ghost in what might be the royal family’s weirdest paranormal tale yet. But probably not...

    • Voicemail Vortex: When Listeners Attack! | 389

      Ever wondered what happens when you give our listeners a hotline and a little too much free time? Spoiler alert: absolute mayhem! This week on Hysteria 51, we dive headfirst into the wild, wacky, and wonderfully weird world of YOUR voicemails.

      Join hosts Brent and David as they react, dissect, and try (and often fail) to keep a straight face. Will they offer sage advice? Highly unlikely. Will they make things worse? There's a good chance. But one thing's for sure: you'll laugh, you'll cringe, and you'll probably double-check your own voicemail before hitting send next time.
