It Gets Weird

Hey there friends and weirdos! We're back to discuss some spooky stories about ghost animals! Specifically...horses. One of Kyle's least favorite animals. We've finally gotten to Nile's revenge for Kyle subjecting him to horrible stories of giant spiders. What horse haunts the roads of Celery Avenue? What is the mythology of the horrifying cryptid-esque spirit known as the Nuckelavee? Listen and learn how to save yourself from this fleshless horror?

Hey there friends and weirdos! Welcome back! In this one, Kyle tells Nile all about the absurd conspiracy that developed around the "grandmother of performance art," Marina Abramović, and her piece known as "Spirit Cooking." Did Tony Podesta join a high priestess of Satan for a nasty night of human sacrifice and blood worship? Or did the conspiracy corners of the internet lose their minds again? We think you know the answer, but listen anyways!

Hey there friends and weirdos! We're back and this time we're learning about inter-dimensional, intergalactic visitors known as "Pleiadians" and their chosen mouthpiece on Earth, a man known as Billy Meiers. Why was Billy chosen to elevate Earth consciousness so we may one day join the Pleaidian society? How many Pleiadians are actually just Elder Scrolls NPCs? What's YOUR Sonic the Hedgehog Original Character look like?! Listen and find out ours!

Hey there friends and weirdos! We're back with another installment of F*** Your Documentary! In this one, we cover the 2018 film "Hunt for the Skinwalker." As it turns out, we've seen this director's stuff before...we are also returning to a beloved topic with Skinwalker Ranch! Does this documentary do the wild array of paranormal and UFO topics justice? Can the boys FINALLY get a really good (or at least really ridiculous) doc to watch? Listen and find out!

Hey there friends and weirdos! We got good buddy Garrett back on the show to discuss a famous haunting known as the Popper Poltergeist! What the hell happened at the Herrmann house all those decades ago? Why was this entity obsessed with popping bottles? Is the new drug joke metagame of It Gets Weird poppers?! Subscribe to the It Gets Weird monthly box of stuff and find out! Oh, and listen to this episode!

Hey there friends and weirdos! In this one, we're wrapping up the story of the Saturn Death Cult! In an electric universe, just how many biblical and historical events can be explained by Saturn shooting plasma beams at Earth? How does the shadow government and the New World Order tie into all this?! Why did the Crusades REALLY happen? Is the shadow government into Fullmetal Alchemist? We answer all these questions and more!

Hello there friends and weirdos! We're back with the first half of a two-part episode about the Saturn Death Cult! In this one, we discuss the foundational "text" of this dark cult and how we've been lied to about the history of Earth and its mythologies. How does the electric universe theory fit into this? In the beginning, why was everything actually a purple haze? What kinds of gamers are our favorite cryptids? All this and more!

Hey there weirdos, happy holidays and a merry Christmas to you all! That's right, it's another Christmas Special of It Gets Weird! In this one, we discuss the fascinating mythology of Icelandic Christmas - from the sorceress troll Gryla, to the pesky Yule Lads, and finally the "Christmas cryptid," the Yule Cat. We talk about the dark mythologies wrapped up in Christmas like so many presents, plus how this terrifying Icelandic legend shifted to be...a bit jollier over time. 

Hey there friends and weirdos! In this one, Nile talks about a cryptid that seems to harkin all the way back to the mid-1800s: the Ozark Howler. Has a giant, cat-like creature with horns stalked the Ozarks for over a century? How did a shadowy organization of woodsmen called the Concatenated Order of Hoo-Hoo become the primary force behind a Ozark Howler conspiracy? What is the sound of Bugle witch fingers? All these questions answered and more!

Hey there friends and weirdos! In this one, we're talking about the most famous case of UFO abduction in the country of Italy: the Pier Zanfretta UFO abductions! What do the unique and bizarre aliens from Teetonia want with this poor security guard? Did these aliens impart a gift to Zanfretta that could unlock the secrets of human life itself? What Italian-American mafioso nicknames do these aliens have? All this and more!

Hey there friends and weirdos! In this one, Nile explains the Hollow Moon conspiracy theory. We've discussed Flat Earth, Hollow Earth...so why not the Moon, too? Warning: this theory is INCOMPATIBLE with Faked Moon Landing conspiracies! Are aliens monitoring the development of humanity from the celestial body we know as the moon? What kinds of candies and creams hide inside the Moon? We discuss all this and more!

Hey weirdos! It's time for another episode of It Gets Weird. This week we talk Ivan T. Sanderson and his theory of Vile Vortices because sometimes the Bermuda Triangle just isn't enough for some people. How far can you really stretch science to link together some boats and planes crashing in specific areas around the world and does it have anything to do with the hit film Ocean's 11. We also try to figure out the opposite of Vile Vortices and try to figure out the places of heightened normality across the earth. 

Hey there friends and weirdos! We're back, and this time we're reworking the entire theory of the universe in this one! We're talking about the Electric Universe Theory, an idea that postulates that our entire understanding of reality is much simpler than we may realize - it's all electricity, baby. Is outer space actually plasma? Is gravity actually an electrical force? Do the Weird Boys understand physics? No! We do not!

Hey there, friends and weirdos! Kyle is joined by friend of the show Garrett, who is filling in for Nile, to watch a documentary on a favorite subject on the podcast: Missing 411. In this documentary produced by David Paulides and directed by a person we think may be David's son, Benjamin Paulides, multiple stories from the Missing 411 books are scrutinized under the lens of film. But...does it work as a documentary? Our big question: where the hell is the Bigfoot stuff, David?!

Hey there friends and weirdos! In this one, we're joined by Emmy-nominated editor and director Vera Drew to discuss what some call "Canada's most famous ghost story." What was it that pestered the poor MacDonald family - a poltergeist? Perhaps a river spirit cryptid? Or maybe even a witch? We discuss the history of this early Canadian settlement, the mystery itself, and even delve into the nature of magick and witchcraft. All this and much more!

Hey there friends and weirdos! This week we have Nile and Jules tackling the concept of time slips to see what might happen when someone is suddenly displaced into an entirely different time period. We talk about how time slips may offer an alternate explanation for ghosts, a time slip mansion that has appeared on and off for 150 years, plus Nile unintentionally gives Jules an existential crisis, altering her entire perception of reality! All this and more!

BOO! Ahahaha, spooked ya! We've returned with everybody's favorite show, It Gets Weird: Campfire Stories! Friend of the show Collin joins us for the seventh installment of the supernatural roleplaying game. In this one, Kyle tells us about the mystifying paranormal vortex known as the Bridgewater Triangle, while Nile tells us the spooky ghost tale of Old Man Weary's road! Which story will Collin choose? Listen and find out!

Hey there friends and weirdos! In this one, we get into the Halloween spirit as Kyle explains the stories of the cursed productions of three different horror movies. We focus on three famously "cursed" movies: Poltergeist, The Exorcist, and The Omen. Just what makes these movies cursed? Well, it turns out it's a lot of coincidences, death, and destruction. But curse truthers may tell you...watch out next time you try and direct a movie about the son of Satan! Also, don't use real skeletons if you can help it.

Hey there friends and weirdos! We're back, and we've got an extra-intense episode about a book called War In Heaven, written by the New Age spiritualist Kyle Griffith. Okay...so this book is kind of hard to summarize, but luckily Nile put in the work to make it as succinct as possible. What happens after we die? What is an "astral soul"? Who are the enigmatic entities known as the Theocrats and what do they want with us? Ask the Invisible College! Don't worry, it'll all make sense very soon.

Hey there friends and weirdos! Big warning on this episode: it's super gross. We're so sorry. If you can stomach it, we're talking about the alternative medicinal practice known as "urine therapy," which if you can't surmise what this may be, don't worry - Kyle did all the research so you don't have to. We discuss the foundational text of urine therapy advocates, "The Water of Life" by J.W. Armstrong. Why? Why do people do this?! We get to the bottom of the cistern in this nasty episode.
