It Gets Weird

Hey there friends and weirdos! This week Nile takes on a dive back into exopolitics from the perspective of a Starseed prodigy named Elena Danaan. Who is Elena Danaan and how does her outstanding Starseed abilities and history play into the politics of the Galactic Federation? What makes her beautiful website so special? 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.

Hey there friends and weirdos! This week's episode is mostly focused on an alien encounter known as the Sagrada Família case. A group of children find themselves face-to-face with unearthly one-eyed men who descended from a spaceship. Why did these humanoid, cyclopean extraterrestrials come to Earth? What exactly was their message to these children and what does it have to do with the moon? We als...

Hey there friends and weirdos! This week we decided to do the oft-threatened mailbag episode. You sent us questions and stories and we responded! What's our Trigun fancasting? What do we know about the conspiracy connections to the GATE Program? What do we think is the least plausible cryptid? We even reserve a little time to extend our best wishes to all, even the "haters and losers" on this spec...

Hey there all you lovely weirdos, its spooky season again and that means its times for frights and...familial trauma? This week, Jules and Nile decided to celebrate the season by watching Rob Zombie's divisive reboot of Halloween. We discuss what ol' Rob was trying to accomplish, the absolutely bugnuts dialog of this world, and whether or not this movie satisfies the needed elements of a good Hall...

Hey there friends and weirdos! This week Jules joins the Weird Crew to revisit a topic from the early days of It Gets Weird: Hollow Earth. Specifically, we learn about the Agarthans, the race of super-tall humanoids who live on the continent in the center of the hollow earth. We also learn about Hollow Earth disclosure, a relatively recent movement among Hollow Earth true believers. Did you know t...

Hey there friends and weirdos! This week we examine a haunted location novel to the show: a spooky lighthouse in St. Augustine, Florida! What grisly deaths occurred to produce the seven "known" ghosts that roam the halls of the keeper's house and the spiral stairway of the lighthouse? Does the St. Augustine's Lighthouse's haunted reputation come from it's history stretching back hundreds of years?...

Hey there friends and weirdos! This week we take a trip over to Arizona to learn about another incredibly stinky sasquatch, the Mogollon Monster. Much like the Skunk Ape Sasquatch, this Arizona Apeman brings with it a powerful stench. It's also described by many as a much more "aggressive" kind of Bigfoot, but here the Weird Boys disagree. Is this your run-of-the-mill odorous stanksquatch, or is i...

Hey there friends and weirdos! This week we conclude our story about Indrid Cold by following John Keel's investigation of the Grinning Man. Keel weaves a string of supposedly interrelated events about UFOs, mysterious fires, and nighttime prowlers, all to lead to the question: are UFOs and ghosts the same thing? We also learn some more fun facts about Woodrow Derenberger's visit to Lanulos! All t...

Hey there friends and weirdos! This week we begin our exploration of the origin story of the infamous "Grinning Man", Woody Derenberger's personal relationship with the so-called Indrid Cold, and John Keel's hijinks-filled investigation into the eerie entity. What in the world (or outside of it) is Indrid Cold? Is he an alien? An inter-dimensional being? A paranormal creature? A humanoid cryptid?...

Hey there friends and weirdos! This week we travel to Wales to learn about a bizarre UFO sighting that may have led to a government cover-up. Did a bunch of Welsh folks in the countryside see military craft get into a battle with an extraterrestrial craft? How does this flying object shoot so-called "thick lightning"? Did a portal to another dimension open in the sky that evening? Are there govern...

Hey there friends and weirdos! This week we conclude our exploration of the Kingdom of Yahweh and the story of its founder, Dr. Joe Jeffers. How does the Doctor of Divinity and True Son Joe run this cult-y UFO-adjacent scheme into the ground? How much more disturbing legal trouble can one man run into before it catches up with him? And how many wives must a man like Joe wed before the jig is up? W...

Hey there friends and weirdos! This week we learn the story of Dr. Joe Jeffers and his religious cult, the Kingdom of Yahweh. What are the origins of the Kingdom of Yahweh's religious zealotry? How did a fire-and-brimstone Baptist preacher gain a following of devout Sayers of the True Name? How did the inaugural 1947 flying saucer flap influence the direction of Dr. Jeffer's cult? We discuss all t...

Hey there friends and weirdos! This week Nile brings us three stories of cryptid monsters around the area of our nation's capitol. Does a nessielike serpent lurk in the waters of the Chesapeake Bay? How about a grotesque, inhuman monster stalking the tunnels of the DC metro train stations? If that's not enough for you, what about an ominous, demonic cat-spirit with glowing red eyes? All this and m...

Hey there friends and weirdos! This week friend of the show KT joins Nile and Kyle to discuss the so-called Cosmick Traveler, Dirk Gillabel. Who is Mr. Gillabel and how do the planet-corresponding metals of his secret bowls heal you after a long day of work? What kinds of Tarot has Gillabel co-created with his wife? What other spiritual and mystical business ventures has he branched out into and a...

Hey there friends and weirdos! This week Kyle's sanity is tested by Nile in a discussion about crystal healing. Where do these ideas about crystals supposedly come from in the history of spirituality and mysticism? What kind of crystals do you need for healing different kinds of energies and chakras and such? Why exactly do some people get so into ideas like this despite reality telling us otherwi...
