It Gets Weird

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 this and much more!

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 putting implants inside of abductees, and how? We discuss all this and much more!

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 more!

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 even cosmic, in its design? We tie this event into a bizarre phenomenon that would occur only a few years later: the Butterfly People of Joplin. All this and much more!

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 also talk about the time 10,000 fútbol fans were witnesses to a flashy, unexplained UFO event. All this and much more!

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 special mailbag episode of It Gets Weird. All this and much more! Thanks again to everyone for your submissions! 

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 Halloween movie. Are we giving him too much credit for some choices? Are we too harsh about his pervert qualifications? Find out on this week's episode!

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 that Agartha has sent an ambassador to prepare us surface-dwellers for the Truth? We discuss all this and much more!

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? We discuss all this and much more!

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 it a Squatch to watch for? We discuss all this and much more!

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 this and much more!

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? His story eludes definition but entertains nonetheless. We discuss all this and much more!

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 government files locked away that could unlock the truth of what happened that fateful day? We discuss all this and much more!

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? We discuss the final days of this cult and Dr. Joe and much more!

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 this and much more!

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 much more!

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 are they available for purchase? We discuss all this and much more!

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 otherwise? We discuss all this and more!
