It Gets Weird

Hey there friends and weirdos! This week Nile tells Kyle the story of Elva Zona Heaster Shue, a woman who is more popularly remembered as...the Greenbrier Ghost. Did Elva's summoned spirit give testimony to her killer? Can ghost testimony even hold up in a court of law? Yes, apparently - a man was jailed for the rest of his life after the ghost accused him. Was Elva murdered, or is there a less se...

Hey there friends and weirdos! This week Kyle reached into the big dang cryptid grab bag and pulled out a handful of stories about humanoid cryptids! Is there a bite-sized bigfoot throwing apples at picnickers in Pennsylvania? How about a devil entity that bestows bad luck dice to an unsuspecting Arkansas family? Or perhaps tales of a wild Monkey Man from Singapore is more your speed? We discuss a...

Hey there friends and weirdos! This week we get into the second half of our discussion about the Law of One, the Ra Material, and the related works of Don Elkins, Carla Rueckert, and Jim McCarty at Love and Light Research. This week we're asking the big question of everybody's mind: who has to die? Is it Don? Jim? Kyle? God forbid, Nile? We discuss the rituals used to channel Ra, the prophetic nov...

Hey there friends and weirdos! This week we begin our journey into Love and Light Research, their principle of the Law of One, and the findings recorded in the Ra Material. What are densities and how do they differ from dimensions? How did Genghis Khan become middle management for the fourth density? How do extraterrestrials get channeled to produce such amazing material? We discuss all this and m...

Hey there friends and weirdos! This week we conclude our investigation into a conspiracy we've come to know as the "Alien Deception." With the collaboration between interdimensional aliens, the Vatican, world governments, and a shadowy elite cabal, a grand deception is being pulled on the human race. What will happen when a mass demonic UFO abduction occurs and how does the human-alien hybridizati...

Hey there friends and weirdos! This week we get into part two of our series on a conspiracy theory we've come to call "The Alien Deception." In this one, we discuss a whole lot of brain-melting Biblical literalism used to fit the idea of alien-human hybrids into scripture. We also get into talking donkeys that can see the spirit world, Christian ufology, and some conspiracy fan fiction. All this a...

Hey there friends and weirdos! This week we begin a deep dive into fringe religious conspiracy content once again with a story referred to as the Alien Deception. How are all the conspiracy theorists holding up now that the whole Grusch "whistleblower" stuff has gone down? Has the Vatican been collaborating with the US government on secret UFO stuff since before even Roswell? Does the Vatican have...

Hey there friends and weirdos! This week we learned about the man who discovered the planet (or is it?) Pluto! Did you know that amateur astronomer Clyde Tombaugh not only discovered Pluto but also had some interesting UFO experiences? Was Clyde the exact right type of guy to report on UFO experiences? Did the CIA try to do him like they did the Big Bopper? We discuss all this and more!

Hey there friends and weirdos! This week we decided to mix up the formula a little bit and watch a sort-of-documentary, sort-of-mockumentary, sort-of-reality, sort-of-fiction film. We watched and discussed the 2016 movie Operation Avalanche, co-starring the director and writer of the film, Matt Johnson. How exactly did the two CIA agents come up with a plan to fake the moon landing? How does a ble...

Hey there friends and weirdos! This week we discuss what may be the most cryptid-dense area of Africa: the Congo! We've also discussed many stories of dinosaur cryptids that survived to the present day, but this time...we're talkin' T. Rex, baby! That's right. Does a Tyrannosaurus Rex cryptid stalk the swamps of the Congo? Can this thing rip a rhinoceros to shreds like it's nothing? Can it please...

Hey there friends and weirdos! This week Nile tells the story of the poltergeist'd up haunted artifact known as "Danny's bed." Did one antique trader bring a confluence of ghosts into his house? Did a specter called Uncle Sam appear and absolutely trash this dude's house? What about a kind lady spirit who likes to set the table and tidy the house? How about the spirit of a beloved local celebrity...

Hey there friends and weirdos! This week we venture into a "yokai-esque" territory with a story about gut bug monsters from medieval Japan! Do little devilish monsters live inside our bodies that influence our health and give us diseases? The answer is yes - science confirms it. But what kinds of bugs? Sinister little beetle men who snitch about your misdeeds to the gods? Turtle clumps that wear l...

Hey there friends and weirdos! This week Nile brings to the table three fascinating stories of aliens with a running theme: silver. All three stories - the Falkville Metal Man, the Risley Silver Humanoid, and the aluminum-clad extraterrestrial abductors of José Antonio da Silva! The stories run from hoax-y to eerie, but all are decidedly very interesting. We discuss all this and much more!

Hey there friends and weirdos! In this one, we conclude the story of the OG ufologist, Major Donald Keyhoe! We get to the bottom of the "big question" - was Keyhoe silenced for speaking UFO truths, or is there something else fishy going on? We talk UFO lecture circuits, book deals, movie consultations, television appearances, and so much more!

Hey there friends and weirdos! This week Kyle talks with Nile about some of the earliest days of ufology with the story of the prototypical ufologist, Donald Keyhoe. How did Charles Lindbergh's aide in the world's first cross-Atlantic solo flight become the world's most famous ufologist of the 1950s? What UFO theories does Keyhoe develop with early ufology? How did he become the director of NICAP?...

Hey there friends and weirdos! This week friend of the show Jules joins the Weird Boys to discuss the paranormal phenomenon known as "ghost trains." When Lincoln died and all his fans around the US gathered to mourn him as his corpse rode around on a train, did the collective anguish create a ghostly spirit train? What about the train disasters around Britain? How can Jules bring Harold Ramis into...

Hey there friends and weirdos! This week we travel down south to the Florida / Alabama border to talk about the monstrous and possibly indestructible Two-Toed Tom! Does a red-eyed, gargantuan, evil gator stalk the swamps of the Panhandle looking for human prey? Is he 14 feet long or 24 feet long? Does this beast of a lizard have a gator harem, on top of all that other stuff?! We discuss all this a...

Hey there friends and weirdos! This week we once again get to examine another angle of the infamous Roswell UFO crash. If a crack, covert squad of secret crash saucer retrieval agents salvaged the UFO at Roswell, wouldn't it follow that the alien technology would end up utilized for human-based technology? Can we explain big leaps in technology with the acquisition of extraterrestrial tech? A cert...

Hey there friends and weirdos! This week we return to our documentary series - "FYD" - to discuss 2022's "Shock Docs" Alien Abduction: Betty and Barney Hill. It's been many years since our discussion of the story of the infamous abduction of the Hills, so we hope that this new(ish) documentary series could teach us something new. Is this story experiencing a renaissance? Are the Hills the first ca...

Hey there friends and weirdos! This week we take a trip to Illinois and work our way along the Mississippi River to uncover the bizarre story and history of a cryptid known as the Piasa Bird! What is the Piasa Bird and what are its origins? As it turns out, the story is a lot more complicated and confused than much of the internet assumes it to be. We unravel the historical mystery surrounding thi...

Who are these "restless royals" and what drove them to haunt the halls, galleries, and staircases of the palace? Our guess: the really crappy husbands they had in life. We discuss candlestick spirits, ghostly queens, and extramarital affairs - all thi...
