This week on Blurry Hysteria, weâre heading straight into the entomological underworld and⊠the worldâs weirdest fertility-themed Grand Prix?
First, we dig into the ant-ics of smugglers trying to sneak live garden ants out of Kenya like theyâre the latest black-market superfood. Belgian and Vietnamese nationals were caught trying to scurry away with these little critters, but the real question is: why ants? And how do you even get through customs with a suitcase full of bugs?
Then, we pivot from ants to, well, another kind of swarmâSperm Racing. Thatâs right, Los Angeles hosted a very real, very bizarre event where hundreds of people gathered to bet on which donorâs little swimmers could outpace the rest in a lab-rat drag race. Science? Art? Performance? Vegas-style fertility? Weâre not entirely sure, but someone brought pom-poms.
Grab your popcorn and your magnifying glassâthis episode's got creepy crawlies, reproductive roller derbies, and the kind of news that makes your search history deeply suspicious.

This week we dig into the Blurry Photos coffers for a trip down Tv Commercial memory lane. Wanna know more? Read the b... err, listen to the podcast...
Original Description
Flora is joined by Ryan from Rumor Flies and Brent from Hysteria 51 to discuss the classic Time Life book series Mysteries of the Unknown. A 33-book set detailing all kinds of Forteana and weird topics, Time Lifeâs Mysteries of the Unknown introduced high strangeness to countless individuals around the world. The boys get together to go over the books in the series, including highlights and influences from each. Itâs a blast of all kinds of strange topics! You want ley lines? Boom. Madam Blavatsky? Pow. Plant sentience? Skadoosh. Itâs a tour-de-force of Forteana and all this great book series has to offer. If any of these topics sound extra interesting, let David know for a possible future Blurry Photos episode!

This week on Blurry Hysteria, the world proves once again that reality is stranger (and way funnier) than fiction. First up, we flap our way into South Africa, where a helicopter crash had one very unexpected stowaway: a penguin in a cardboard box. Is it espionage? A fishy getaway plan? Or just the weirdest Uber ride in aviation history?
Then we chug along to Missouri, where a man found himself back in cuffs for getting a little too intimate with a train seat. That's rightâhe's on a one-way trip to the ânopeâ station with a layover in âwhy tho?â
From avian absurdity to locomotive lust, itâs another baffling journey through the bizarreâonly on Blurry Hysteria!

Ever wonder what happens when you give our listeners a phone line and zero supervision? Spoiler alert: chaos, confusion, and conspiracies. This week, the inmates run the asylum as we dive headfirst into the Hysteria 51 voicemail inbox! From theories that would make your tinfoil hat itch to questions that even Conspiracy Bot can't insult properly (but he'll try anyway), it's a rollercoaster of paranormal ponderings and general weirdness.
Tune in as we play and react to your voicemails â the good, the bizarre, and the beautifully unhinged. It's unscripted, unpredictable, and undeniably Hysteria 51.

In this special edition of Beautiful Blurry Hysteria, Kevin Crispin from Behind Beautiful Things steps in to wrangle the weird while Brent takes a breather! From a Nevada manâs questionable claim that tigers make great emotional support pets (hint: 7 might be a bit excessive!), to a small-town Missouri foster mom dabbling in a black-market monkey fiasco, the stories are as off-the-wall as they sound. And if thatâs not enough to leave you howling, we also take a return dive into whether dire wolves are finally ready to bust out of ancient legend and stroll into our modern world. So, grab your seatbelts for a super-sized portion of strangeâitâs Beautiful Blurry Hysteria, but with Kevin at the helm and no question left un-wowed!

This week on Blurry Hysteria, we ask the hard-hitting questions: Whoâs afraid of the monster in the bedroomâand why does it look like a Conspiracy Bot? And more importantly, whoâs peeing in your recycling bin?
Thatâs right, weâre diving headfirst into the kind of stories that make you question reality and your home security system. First up, a Kansas babysitter hears strange noises while checking for monsters under the bed and instead finds a man literally hiding there. Talk about a plot twist no bedtime story ever prepared her for.
Then, we head to Texas, where one man is being tormented by gallonsâand we mean gallonsâof mystery urine being dumped into his recycling bin. Itâs a tale of high suspicion, low hygiene, and the kind of community "outreach" no one asked for.
So grab your flashlight, maybe a gas mask, and get ready for another episode of weird news thatâs so bizarre it could only be Blurry Hysteria.

Just when you thought things couldnât get any weirderâweâre back with a trio of tales thatâll have you questioning everything from homeownership to orca fashion trends. First, we revisit the case of missing solid gold crapper (spoiler: It's named America and it is FOUND). Then, the orcas are back on their bulls**târeviving an old-school trend that involves wearing salmon carcasses as hats. Thatâs right: haute dead couture. And finally, a TikToker buys a hoarder house at auction and findsâŠyep, a decomposing body. But hey, at least the content went viral, right?
So grab your ghost-salmon hat, avoid discount deep freezers, and tune in to the show that asks the tough questionsâlike what is happening with this planet?!

Buckle up, dear listeners, because this weekâs Beautiful Blurry Hysteria is swerving into absolute chaos! First, we take a ride into the world of self-driving nightmares as a Tesla flunks its automatic driving test in the worst way possibleâby crashing during a demonstration. Turns out, even AI gets stage fright. Then, we shift gears into something far more grotesque: a woman caught trying to sell human toesâyes, toesâon FACEBOOK! All while making some truly horrific claims about canine digestion. Just when you think it canât get weirder, we slide into the final act: TSA agents at Newark Airport uncovering a turtle stuffed inside a travelerâs pants. Slow and steady does not win the race through security, my dude.
Weird news? Check. Questionable life choices? Double check. Join us as we unravel the absurdity, ask all the wrong questions, and, as always, keep it blurry!

Gold. Itâs shiny, itâs valuable, and it has a bad habit of making people lose their ever-loving minds. Legends of hidden treasure have fueled obsessions, ruined lives, and probably inspired more than a few bad tattoos. But few lost fortunes have captured imaginations quite like the Lost Dutchmanâs Mineâa hidden gold stash so rich it could set you up for several lifetimes⊠if you could ever find it.
This week, weâre diving deep into the sun-scorched mysteries of Arizonaâs Superstition Mountains, where one prospector supposedly struck it big and then took the secret to his grave. From cryptic maps and stone-carved clues to murder, curses, and possibly even supernatural guardians, this tale has all the makings of a Hollywood blockbusterâexcept this one just might be real. So grab your shovels, keep an eye out for vengeful spirits, and join us as we mine for the truth behind one of Americaâs greatest lost treasures on Hysteria 51!

Ever wondered what happens when you take bad online advice a little too seriously? Or how about the possibility that weâre all living in a multiverse, hopping timelines without even realizing it? This week on Blurry Hysteria, we dive into some of the strangest news out thereâstarting with one manâs ill-fated attempt to survive on nothing but meat and dairy (spoiler: it didnât go well). Then, we break down Googleâs latest quantum computing breakthrough, which might just be proof that the multiverse is real. So, are we on the verge of a sci-fi future, or is this just another glitch in the matrix? Tune in and find out!

Science is weird, but this week, itâs downright prehistoric and miraculous. First up, researchers are bringing back a piece of the Ice Age by splicing woolly mammoth genes into live mice. What could possibly go wrong? We discuss the latest in de-extinction efforts, the ethical dilemmas, and whether these tiny, furry Frankensteins might be the first step toward full-blown Jurassic Park madness.
Then, hold onto your reproductive health textbooks because the next story is one for the medical history books. A teenager managed to get pregnant without the traditional methodâletâs just say it involved oral sex and some deeply unfortunate circumstances. We break down the insane details of this once-in-a-blue-moon medical mystery, the science behind how it could even happen, and why reality just keeps proving stranger than fiction. All that and more this week on a Blurry Hysteria edition of Hysteria 51!

Ever felt hangry? Like, really, really hangry? So hangry that you might just turn into a supernatural, flesh-craving monster? Well, youâre in luck because this week, weâre diving headfirst into the legend of the Wendigoâa creature that takes "snacking" to a terrifying new level.
From its origins in Algonquian folklore to modern-day sightings (and possibly a Wendigo diet plan we canât endorse), weâre breaking down what makes this beast so chilling. Is it a warning about greed and gluttony? A cautionary tale for winter survivalists? Or just an ancient way of saying, "Dude, donât eat your friends"? Weâll cover all that and more, including some very questionable Wendigo-related crimes, and why you probably donât want to go camping in Canada anytime soon. Al that and more this week on Hysteria 51!

This week on Blurry Hysteria, we welcome back our good friend Kevin Crispin from Behind Beautiful Things to help us navigate the latest in bizarre news. Ever wonder how long it takes to steal a solid gold toilet? (Spoiler: Less time than it takes to order a coffee.) Or what happens when a rogue prankster sends marathon runners on a wild detour? And if thatâs not weird enough, weâve got a story involving an inflatable girlfriend, a fire, and some very bad decision-making. Buckle upâthis oneâs as ridiculous as it gets!
Join Brent, David, and Kevin as we break down the absurdity, ask the important questions (like who needs a gold toilet?), and try to make sense of the worldâs weirdest headlines.

Before the X-Files, before Bigfoot reality shows, before your uncle went down a YouTube rabbit hole and now wonât shut up about lizard peopleâthere was Charles Hoy Fort. A man who spent his life collecting the weirdest, wildest, and most WTF-worthy stories that science tried (and failed) to explain. From raining frogs to UFOs before they were even called UFOs, Fort cataloged it all and basically invented the field of Forteanaâaka the study of all things bizarre,
spooky, and questionably sane. AKA our bread and butter!
But who was Fort? A misunderstood genius? A professional weirdo? The first-ever Reddit or 4 Chan mod? Join us as we dive into the life, work, and general badassery of the man who made the strange, well⊠stranger. Spoiler alert: he burned a lot of his own work: was it because even he couldnât believe what he was writing? Or it was all true and the powers that be made him do it? Thatâs for you to decide...
Buckle up, because this week weâre getting Fortean as hell on Hysteria 51.

Itâs another Beautiful Blurry Hysteria as Kevin Crispin of Behind Beautiful Things joins us for a journey through the weirdest headlines the internet has to offer! First up, the European Union says yes to mealworm powder in foodâbecause nothing says "sustainable future" like a little extra crunch in your croissant. Then, we dive into the tale of a man who lost millions in Bitcoin to a landfill and is still trying to dig his way to crypto redemption. Finally, we close with a real stinkerâa woman sending fart jars to her boyfriendâs ex. Because, as they say, revenge is a dish best served⊠gassy? Buckle up for absurdity, laughter, and the kind of investigative journalism that only Blurry Hysteria can deliver.

A cold, barren rock in the North Atlanticâisolated, windswept, and lifeless. Perhaps it was
never meant for human presence. Perhaps the superstitions whispered through generations, warnings of curses and otherworldly forces, werenât just ghost stories to ignore. Three men vanished without a trace from the Eilean Mor Lighthouse in 1900, leaving behind only eerie questions and a lighthouse that stood empty, as if even it knew something was wrong. Was it foul weather? Madness? Or something far stranger hiding in the thick fog that surrounds the
Flannan Isles?
Despite decades of investigation, every theoryâno matter how grounded or bizarreâseems to end where it begins: with a mystery as haunting as the waves that crash against its lonely shores. Today on Hysteria 51, we dig into the story of Eilean Mor, the theories, the legends, and the strange clues left behind. Will we find answers, or just more shadows in the mist and bad jokes by a sadistic robot? Letâs find out...

What do you get when you cross a wannabe-Neo trying to dodge bullets in Utah with a Russian court that seems to think Google has more money than the entire planet combined? Pure, unadulterated Blurry Hysteria, thatâs what!
This week we unpack the bizarre saga of a man caught on camera attempting some next-level Matrix movesâspoiler alert: real life doesnât come with slow-motion bullet time. Then, we jet over to Mother Russia, where a court has slapped Google with a penalty so colossal youâd need a calculator that can handle a galaxyâs worth of zeros.
