Well Hello, Weirdos! Long time, no SEE!!

Welcome to Keep It Weird, the podcast for all thing strange and unusual, stalker-ish and sleepy, spooky, scary and everything in between.

We wanted to keep things EXTRA SCARY for another month because October was so crazy busy so welcome to SECOND OCTOBER!! October Part Two!

This week Lauren starts us off with a rare TRUE CRIME TIME and the story of the Kuykendall Family Phone Stalker! In 2007 someone was able to not only clone the phones of the Kuykendall family but also somehow WATCH THEM INSIDE THEIR HOUSE. It's a case that remains unsolved to this day and boy oh boy do we hate that.

Then Ashley takes us to a PARANORMAL PARADISE as we explore some real life haunts out of the legendary village of SLEEPY HOLLOW!! It may not be haunted by a headless hessian soldier, but that doesn't mean the place isn't crawling with old 16th century ghouls! Classic wailing women, the ghost of an American traitor, a witch of the wood and possibly even some new world FAE!

Hail to the Cardinal, Hail to the White, Weirdos!!

Welcome to a very special Halloween episode-- It's our WEIRD CENTRALIA LIVE SHOW!!

This month Lauren and Ashley had the pleasure of traveling to Centralia, IL to perform to a sold out audience at the Centralia Area Historical Society Museum!

We got to chat about ALL THINGS C-TOWN including, but not limited to: The Orphans, May Fete, the Thunderbird, Violin Anne, the 1947 Mine Disaster, Copple's Mansion, the Perrine House & Perrine's Orchard!

We laugh, we cry, we SCREAM - this episode is a lot of things. I HIGHLY recommend watching this ep on YOUTUBE (www.youtube.com/keepitweirdpodcast) as we also did have a slideshow presentation and you'll be able to see all the things the audience is reacting to: Old photos, newspaper clippings, even a couple videos!

This was one of the most special weekends of our lives and that's all because of the people of Centralia. Everyone who shared their stories with us, taught us about the town's history, invited us to the town museum (Thank you Rick Dodson, Mike Middleton and Jessycka Nix Coleman!) FED us (thank you Simply Soul LLC!) rented us a place to stay (thank you Mallory Fisk!) lent us some audio visual equipment and bought tickets and came out to see our show. We were floored!

This show was meant to be a CELEBRATION of Centralia and I do believe we accomplished our goal. I feel closer to my hometown than ever before... and maybe a little more creeped out by it.

GO ORPHANS!!!!

TRIGGER WARNING: Actually NO cursing-- unless you count "heck" so good for us! But we do talk about death, murder, suicide, slavery AND man-eating birds; so be aware.

Yaaaassss, Weirdos!

Welcome to SPOOKY SEASON!!! You know what that means. Pumpkins. Horror movies. Ghouls. Girls, gays & theys!

This week is a very special episode where we are celebrating QUEER HORROR!!

Our special guest this week is an American author, playwright and theater director of (get this) HELLGATE HIGH Mr. Laramie Dean!!

We are exploring the horror genre all the way back to the gothic novels of the 1800's to the campy gore of the 80s and to our explicitly queer films today. The LGBTQA+ community has always found representation in the horror genre - sometimes they had to hide their queerness, sometimes they got it WAY wrong but nevertheless their stories and films have inspired generations of us throughout the last century and a half and for that we are eternally grateful!

So join us as we chat Mary Shelley, James Whale, John Waters, Interview with the Vampire, Chucky, and so much more.

Dust to Dust, Weirdos!

Welcome back to KEEP IT WEIRD!! The podcast for all things strange, unusual, paranormal, supernatural, creepy, gross, scary, sticky and everything in between!

Everytime we get together we chat about something WEIRD and this episode is no exception. WE'RE BACK from a brief hiatus so dont mind us as we spend the first fifteen or so catching you up on life stuff but dont you worry we make our way to the strange quickly as Lauren brings us into a WHERE IN THE WORLD (is Keep It Weird Going?) and we travel (astrally) to NORWAY!

Ålen, Norway to be exact in a 15 mile valley known as Hessdalen where for almost an entire century very strange lights have been appearing in the sky. No matter the weather, regardless of day or night these lights show up in bright whites, yellows and reds - sometimes for over an hour! Sometimes they streak through the sky, other times they sway slowly back and forth. But what the h e double hockey sticks are they?! UFOs?! Plasma? Ball lightning? A natural phenomenon we literally don't know about yet?! We break down the scientific discoveries that we DO know along with all the questions we still have about the HESSDALEN LIGHTS.

Then Ashley takes a different look at the sky in an ITS THE END OF THE WORLD AS WE KNOW IT! Something is headed our way and its massive. 3i/Atlas is the third interstellar object (that we have ever observed) to pass through our solar system and it's en route as we speak! Most experts believe it's a comet, although some are more skeptical of it's behavior. But that's not why we're here-- we're here to talk about what some OTHER folks believe this object to be. Something called the BLUE STAR KACHINA aka SAQUASOHUH- an apocalyptic prophecy from North America's own Hopi Native Tribes. This bright blue star is said to come from far away and crash into our skies in the "Day of Purification" and is described as a "world engulfing cataclysm" that will end life as we know it for everyone who isn't truly Hopi.

The only problem is that the legend didn't actually come from Hopi legends and it was written by a white man in the 60s. OOPS!! Ah well, we'll get em' next time boys.

Lauren finishes off the show with a mini segment called TIK TOKS THAT BRING ME JOY where she introduces us to three different content creators that have helped her get through the last month or so we've been away.

This is a bird show now! Just kidding. Kind of. Welcome to Keep It Bird the podcast about all things feathered and beaked, squawking and flapping, and everything that has plumage that chirps or clucks! Nah, we're still the podcast for all things strange and unusual and this week we are getting to the bottom of ALL THINGS PARANORMAL!! That's right-- we're answering every question we've ever asked on this show because it turns out the supernatural is as natural as can be. Lauren starts us off by going DOWN THE RABBIT HOLE and exploring the nature of our very own star. Not only did the sun create our planet but it provides our planet with energy, influences our climate and weather patterns, can mess with our technology and can even rewire our BRAINS!! AND DONT EVEN GET HER STARTED ON THE ROCKS! Ashley swoops in (bird reference) with a WHERE IN THE WORLD as we travel to America's creepiest playground-- APPALACHIA! The Appalachian Mountains are some of the oldest mountains on the entire planet-- predating trees, dinosaurs and even BONES. It's no wonder it's full of ghosts, cryptids, witches and UFOs!

Welcome to Doveland, weirdos!

TW: foul language, psychic phenomenon, government conspiracy, natural disasters, poltergeist violence It's time for another episode of KEEP IT WEIRD! The podcast for all things strange and unusual, suspicious and soulful, unsolved and unbelievable and everything in between! Everytime we get together we chat about something WEIRD and this week we've got two very echoey segments for you. Lauren starts us off with an UNSOLVED MYSTERY that we realized after we cut should probably have been a REAL OR HOAX but hey... the summer is hectic ok? Lauren is teaching us about DOVELAND, WISCONSIN. A town that... disappeared? Never existed at all? Was swallowed by the earth? Was actually a secret government experiment that they're desperately trying to cover all trace of? You tell us. Then Ashley introduces the story of Canada's most famous poltergeist- a case known as THE GREAT AMHERST MYSTERY! This story takes place between the years 1878 and 1880 where an 18 year old girl named Esther Cox and her family were tormented by an invisible force in their small cabin relentlessly for over a year. Objects moving on their own, loud booming knocks that shook the walls, objects going missing and then falling from the center of the ceiling, mysterious fires, a pesky corporeal trumpet, and even a few stabbings?! This case has HUNDREDS of witnesses and even converted a hardcore skeptic who lived with the family with the sole objective of proving them to be hoaxsters.

Hey Sports Fans! Welcome to KEEP IT WEIRD, the podcast for all things strange & unusual, ancient & archival, regal & rickety and everything in between! TW: big bugs, mental illness, euthanasia, cancer, curses Every week we get together to chat about something WEIRD and this week is very special because we're celebrating the birthday of one of the world's finest weirdos - - your host LAUREN! We had a wild start to the episode where we were both ATTACKED by bugs (the bugs were in our room) but once we recovered from the drama we were able to dive into this week's topics. Ashley starts us off with an ANCIENT ARTIFACTS (with Addie Rife!) where she teaches us all about the Iron Pillar of Dehli-- an ancient monument that is somewhere between 1600 and 2300 years old, made of solid iron, that still has not rusted TO THIS DAY! And speaking of ancient artifacts and metal! Last month, scientists at CERN accidentally discovered the secret to the Philosopher's Stone. YOU HEARD ME! Lauren takes over for a JEEPERS CREEPERS where we dive into a very rare (and very scary) mental health disorder known as CLINICAL LYCANTHROPY aka real life werewolves. And were...frogs??? To wrap the show the girls pass some MIND BLOWING FACTS back and forth like the time that Mark Ruffalo had a psychic vision, how monkey's find medicinal marvels, the true inspiration for Bluey and more.

We come in peace, weirdos!! But do THEY?!?!!

TW: aliens, psychosis & delusions, death by statue Welcome to Keep It Weird, the podcast for all things strange and unusual, extra & extraterrestrial, wiry & wooley and everything in between. Everytime we get together we chat about something WEIRD!! This week is a wild one so hold onto your butts (cheeks and cigs) Ashley starts us off with BREAKING NEWS out of Buga Colombia where a strange metallic orb was not only filmed zipping through the sky but also crash landed and was collected by witnesses in the area and turned into our buddy JAIME MAUSSAN and if this is not a hoax it's a BFDY (Big Freaking Deal, Yo) According to the scientists studying the sphere- it is cold to the touch, it's WEIGHT FLUCTUATES & it's covered in inscriptions and you won't believe what AI has to say about the meaning behind them. And speaking of AI we have a quick TERRIFYING TECHNOLOGY to counteract how pumped we were to be friends with ChatGPT last time around. Ashley tells us about a new phenomenon people are calling "ChatGPT Induced Psychosis" wherein users of AI Chat Bots are losing their grip on reality, falling into spiritual rabbit holes, and destroying all the human relationships they have left. Lauren takes us into a segment we call WHERE IN THE WORLD where we travel to just outside of Hong Kong to a city that used to exist called KOWLOON where over 33,000 residents lived in only 350 buildings covering only .01 miles of space........... HOW?! Then we finish off with a very special DECLASSIFIED where Ashley takes us through the CIA DOC_0005517761 - Declassified back in 2000, this report describes a 250 page KGB file that contains photos, drawings and witness testimonies about a run in that soviet soldiers had with a UFO back in 1990 wherein 23 men were TURNED TO STONE.
