This week on H51 we take you deep into the icy heart of Lake Vostok, where according to whispers in the dark corners of the internet, Russian scientists allegedly discovered a 14 – tentacled beast that's more than just oversized calamari! So, strap on your boots and get ready for the madness that is internet rumors this week as we take on Organism 46-B!

Oh, and we don’t have to go alone, Kevin Crispin is back in the lower 4th to talk subglacial lakes and the monsters that love them along with us here on Hysteria 51.
