It's always "Hail Satan," and never "How is Satan?" Seriously, he must be really burnt out from being the source of all of everyone's problems for thousands of years. American Hysteria host Chelsey Weber-Smith continues to point out that he's the OG scapegoat. But he's far from the only boogeyman we blame when things in our world go badly.

Chelsey Weber-Smith is the writer, co-producer, and host of American Hysteria, a show that investigates our moral panics, urban legends, conspiracy theories, and archetypes, basically our special brand of fantastical thinking. They also write country music and rambles around the United States building campfires and hoping for the best. Chelsey is a graduate of the University of Virginia's MFA program in poetry and has written and self-published two chapbooks, a travel memoir, and two full-length folk/country albums, and was recently nominated for a Pushcart Prize. Their work has been published in BOAAT, Transom, Matter, Wu-Wei Fashion Mag, the James Franco Review, and Miracle Monocle. They currently live in Seattle.
