It Gets Weird

Hey there friends and weirdos! This week concludes our discussion of the preeminent conspiracy researcher, Mae Brussell. Can Mae truly draw a line between the assassinations of JFK, RFK, and Martin Luther King? How exactly do intelligence agents create a patsy? And did the CIA manufacture Charles Manson and the kidnapping of Patty Hearst to destroy the counterculture and the political left? We dis...

Hey there friends and weirdos! This week Kyle is back to continue the discussion about the OG conspiracy theorist, Mae Brussell. In this one we explore the origins of the American brand of fascism and nazism, as well as the people Brussell identifies as the primary financiers of post WWII American deep politics. It turns out fascism was never defeated, it merely moved underground. All this and muc...

Hey there friends and weirdos! This week Jules steps in for Kyle while he's sick to chat with Nile about the 2023 documentary "Satan Wants You."

We discuss all this and much more!

Hey there friends and weirdos! In this week's episode Nile turned to an unlikely source: a coworker from his day job.

Hey there friends and weirdos! This week we investigated tales of so-called spontaneous human combustion, venturing into the world of parapsychology, anomalous phenomena, and the paranormal. Can human beings just burst into flames, or is there something more otherworldly going on? Can young girls create mysterious and highly localized fires with a mere glance? Does a global incendiary poltergeist...

Hey there friends and weirdos! This week for our big 500th episode we gathered up beloved friends of the show Jules and Garrett to have a big round-table discussion about the specter haunting ufology: the Roswell Incident.

Hey there friends and weirdos! This week Nile gets fired up about a witch-hunt in 17th century Loudun, France. How did the events that transpired in Loudun inspire the Ken Russell film The Devils? Was there really a conspiracy to destroy the life and reputation of Father Urbain Grandier? Is a horny nun and her sisterhood of devil-possessed ladies at the center of this conspiracy? We discuss all th...

Hey there friends and weirdos! This week we decided it had been far too long since we checked in with our good buddy Bigfoot. What's Bigfoot been up to the last couple years? Turns out, scaring lights of hunters, hikers, and young men with fireworks. We also dig a little bit into the Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization and the work they're doing to investigate the mysteries of the world's most...

Hey there friends and weirdos! This week we checked out the documentary Saucers, Spooks and Kooks, based off the Adam Gorightly book by the same name. Much like a similar documentary we've enjoyed previously (Mirage Men), this documentary covers the Bennewitz Affair in depth, pulling on the many threads that connect to his story. How does Bennewitz and the psychological operation used against him...

Hey there friends and weirdos! This week we take a trip down undah to talk about one of the biggest UFO events in Australia! A big group of schoolchildren witness the so-called Westall UFO; some even faint in terror. Was this a UFO or a secret government test that used UFO fever as a cover-up? When mysterious men show up and start threatening school staff, is it an Australian visit from Men in Bla...

Hey there friends and weirdos! This week we rope friend of the show KT back into a discussion of our favorite Cosmick Traveller, Dirk Gillabel. In this one we explore beyond singing bowls, tarot, and gnomes. How does the etheric body work? How can you use astral projection to contact sound-light beings? Did Dirk have a chance encounter with a Dragon entity in 90s New York? Who is the Lady with the...

Hey there friends and weirdos! This week Nile brings a new-ish cryptid to the show: snakes. Love 'em or hate 'em, we've got two stories of monstrous snakes that terrorized small town folks in the US back in the 50s and 60s. How big can snakes really get? What kinds of genitalia do they have? Do we really want to talk at length about snake genitals? Yes we do. All this and much more!

Hey there friends and weirdos! This week we decided to learn about Smashing Pumpkin's notorious front-man, Billy Corgan. It turns out Mr. Corgan is no stranger to the strange and supernatural...did he witness a true shapeshifter in-person?

What are Elena's current beefs in the New Age industry? We discuss all this a...

Hey there friends and weirdos! This week we're ringing in the new year by getting back to our roots. So in this episode we looked at a number of classic UFO cases out of Indiana, hometown of It Gets Weird. We talk Indiana's involvement in the 1952 UFO flap, bizarre cones of darkness-lasers, and the good folks over at the Indiana chapter of the Mutual UFO Network. All this and much more!

Hey there friends and weirdos! This week we decided to close out 2025 with a noided documentary, "CIA Covert Experiments." Did intelligence agents dose an entire French town with hyper potent LSD, causing hundreds of unsuspecting townsfolk to hallucinate? What proof is there that the CIA would dose an entire town as an experiment? Who the hell is distributing this documentary? How does Nile feel a...

Hey there friends and weirdos! This week we take a trip up north to learn about some legendary Canadian ghosts. Does the angry spirit of a beheaded nun roam the streets of Miramichi looking for her severed head? Does the spectral form of a handsome fancy boy stalk the Dungarvon River in New Brunswick, "whooping" loud as hell in a ghostly rage? We discuss all this and much more!

Hey there friends and weirdos! In this one, we conclude our three part series on the controversial Fortean writer Martin Cannon and his most well-known text, The Controllers. To close things out, we've got the theoretical military applications of Cannon's "human hypothesis" of UFO abductions and mind control. Can abductees become Manchurian candidates for clandestine ops? Can the military craft th...

Hey there friends and weirdos! This week we continue learning about Martin Cannon's book, The Controllers. Could an MKULTRA guinea pig be implanted with a device and become remotely hypnotized into believing they're being abducted by aliens? Is it even possible to commit "anti-social behavior" while under hypnosis? And to what end would somebody fake an alien abduction this way? We discuss all thi...

Hey there friends and weirdos! This week we begin our exploration of an infamous text in ufology: Martin Cannon's "The Controllers." We've talked a lot in the past about the extraterrestrial hypothesis of UFOs, but what about a human hypothesis? This is where Cannon's book comes in: a paranoid, human-centric view of the UFO questions, starting with "alien implants." What Earth forces could be putt...

Hey there friends and weirdos! This week we have the...purr-fect (ugh, UGH) alien primer episode for you: Feline Aliens, aka Lyrans. Is there a race of anthropomorphic cat-people living out there in the stars? Were all cats on Earth planted there by ancient aliens? Who are the crazy alien cat people compiling everything we know about this noble extraterrestrial race? We discuss all this and much m...

Hey there friends and weirdos! This week we add a little entomology creamer into our New Age spiritual enlightenment coffee with the tale of...the Butterfly People. When a massive crop circle depicting the Vitruvian Man as a Butterfly Man pops up in the Netherlands, skeptics and believers alike are baffled. Was this design man-made, as the lying media would like to suggest? Or is it alien, perhaps...

Hey there friends and weirdos! This week Jules is back with the Weird Crew to discuss Kyle's birthplace...the terrifying city of Cleveland, Ohio! Does a vile vortex of paranormal activity lie at the center of Franklin Castle? Did its original owner secretly live a double life as a deranged killer? Or perhaps the mansion itself is cursed? We discuss all this and much more!

Get inside. Lock the door. They know that you know. And they're coming for you.
