Mirror Mirror on the Wall!  Please don't show me a haunted doll!

Welcome to another episode of KEEP IT WEIRD- your one stop shop for all things strange and unusual!

This week we are answering the universe's most unusual question... what the f*ck is going on with mirrors?!

What if you could replace all of your pill bottles full of anxiety and depression meds and just look into a mirror for a few minutes a day?  What if you could see your past self and heal your trauma?  What if you could travel to another dimension?

It may sound crazy, but "crazy" is our middle name so buckle up!  This week we are diving into all things reflective as Ashley teaches us about the Kozyrev Mirror experiments from the 1950s & the 1990s wherein physicists placed hundreds of subjects into a device that not only opened up their third eye but also caught the eye of extraterrestrials!  We're also going to touch on the Chronovisor, a smiliar experimental device created by a priest, a physicist and a Nazi scientist that supposedly showed them the actual crucifixion of Christ that is being held at the Vatican, never to be seen again. 

Don't worry, Lauren brings us back to reality with some TRUE CRIME TIME as we look into the unsolved Tara Leigh Calico missing persons case and we question whether or not the famous photo of the two bound children helped or hindered the investigation.

Welcome Weirdos, one and all!  Young and small!  Step right up and test your PSI Strength!

This is a very special episode of Keep It Weird, the podcast for all things strange and unusual– because we have the king and queen of the strange and unusual joining us this week!

This episode feels like it’s been seven whole years in the making and it’s finally here.  Synchronicities may have brought us together but our anti-hypnotism stance is what will keep us friends.  This week Ashley and Lauren are joined by Planet Weird’s very own GREG & DANA NEWKIRK!! 

Greg and Dana are the owners/operators of the Newkirk Museum of the Paranormal & Occult.  You may have seen their appearances on shows like Kindred Spirits, Paranormal Lockdown, The World According to Jeff Goldblum or Finding Bigfoot.  Or maybe you know them from their very own podcast The Haunted Objects Podcast where they discuss the history, folklore and supernatural significance of some of their most treasured haunted items.

And if you don’t know them from any of those amazing things, you will know them as the driving force behind one of our all time favorite documentary series Hellier where they, along with Karl Pfeiffer and Connor Randall, take a trip to Hellier Kentucky to investigate some high strangeness and try to find some goblins.

Well they are here today to talk about ALL kinds of strange phenomena, paranormal entertainment, the fact that hypnotism is just PLAIN RUDE, witchcraft, Hellier drinking games, the times they’ve been the most scared and so much more. We even get to gush a bit about their BRAND NEW DOCUMENTARY that is out TODAY September 8th THE UNBINDING.  It’s the perfect way to start your spooky season right so head over to planetweird.tv and check it out now!

Without further ado– enjoy this episode, it was a dream come true for us and we hope that we didn’t just squeal our way through this interview.

 Keep It Weird!

Hey Weirdos!

Or should I say SEARDOS!?   Production schedules got a little wonky here at the end of September and I didn't want to leave you without an episode this Friday--  THE FIRST OF SEPTEMBER!  Which I think we can all officially, collectively agree is the EVE OF SPOOKY SEASON!! 

I decided to rerelease an episode of Keep It Seared from 2021 because relistening to it made me laugh out loud and also it's HIGH TIME we hear Handsome Joe's voice on this podcast!  He's obviously had a very busy (and stressful) year between work and family and surgeries so we haven't gotten to hear him get angry in so long!  Well... I have... but you guys haven't!

This week I share some interesting/strange/intriguing/lesser known facts with Joe and honestly... he keeps a pretty level head.  Dare I say I'm proud of him?  

Check out the link below for photos and videos of my last weird item in the episode, and make sure you join us next week where we will have two VERY special guests join us for an hour of high strangeness..

https://www.sciencealert.com/scientists-have-found-a-weird-glowing-purple-blob-on-the-ocean-floor

Scary up front but OK in the end!

That's the accidental theme for this week's episode of KEEP IT WEIRD - The podcast for all things strange and unusual - and therefore our working title... But REAL Weirdos know the official title of this one...

Hey, kids! If you're new here this is the show where Ashley & Lauren get together each week to talk about something WEIRD and this week had way too much body horror involved. We apologize to most of you but for some of you freaks: you're welcome?

Ashley starts us off by taking us on a Magic School Bus ride for BODY TIME! Have you ever heard of Musical Ear Syndrome? Well some people are blaming this phenomenon for witnessing paranormal activity! But don't worry, we've got some alternative theories to compete with the skeptics.

 Lauren takes us into a JEEPERS CREEPERS that's all about our PEEPERS. Did you know that our eyeballs have something called "immune privelage?" It means that our eyes have a special relationship with our immune system that help protect them from inflammatory responses... but it also does horrible, terrible things.

Ashley couldn't let our eyes get all the glory, she comes in next with another JEEPERS CREEPERS but this one is all about TEEFERS. Teeth, as adults call them. Did you know they could EXPLODE?! I don't need to say more about this, watch the ep to unlock new dental fears.

Finally, Lauren wraps up the episode with a good old fashioned CONSPIRACY THEORY!! Only this time the conspiracy came true. The cold war made all of us a little cuckoo-- but possibly none moreso than the Canadian government who decided they needed to build the world's first "GAYDAR" to try to rid themselves of homosexual employees. But all it really did was prove that we just don't shame straight white men enough.

The good guys dressed in black, remember that Weirdos!

Welcome to another week of weird with your two favorite freaks!  Each week we have the pleasure of hanging out and chatting about something WEIRD and it's the greatest honor to do it with YOU!!

This week Ashley has an ENORMOUS alien update in a new segment we are calling ZED WE HAVE A BUG!  Obviously you all know that congress just held a hearing about UAP and UAP disclosure but what you may not know is whats happening on the DL.  Ashley checked the tabloids, reddit and other dark corners of the internet to find out what was happening in the world of UFOs outside of congress.  Starting with SEDGE MASTERS - a three article series from UFO Magazine in 1998 that is getting some new attention, a MYSTERY MAN posting on Reddit claiming to be a molecular biologist who worked on EBOs (aliens) from 2000-2010 and supposedly knows exactly what they are and where they come from, and finally we are taken on a bumpy ride by ERIC HECKER a firefighter and plumber (it will make sense when you listen) who was contracted to work on a base in Antarctica by none other than RAYTHEON-- and he claims that they are up to no good down there.

Now, all of that is pretty heavy.  Which is why we are grateful to have Lauren here to bring us a THIS WEEK IN WEIRD about the final capture of a con-man who escaped from prison FIVE YEARS ago and was just arrested last week.  And she brings a fun GO QUESTIONS question about whether or not we'd help our loved ones cover up a murder.

 Welcome to another episode of KEEP IT WEIRD - the podcast for all things strange and unusual-- and this week we are looking to the stars QUITE A BIT NOW AREN'T WE?!

This week we have a new SPONSORED SEGMENT called ANCIENT ARTIFACTS with Addie Rife! For our first trip we're making our way to Egypt and Ashley is teaching us about King Tut, his very short reign, why he is so so famous and also what the hell he was doing with a DAGGER FROM SPACE?!

Lauren takes us into another new segment called WE DON'T CLAIM THEM which is where we chant "Shame" and throw rotten fruit at self proclaimed "weirdos" who do bad, bad things. This week she's fueling our hate fire for Cedric Lodge, his wife Denise and their slew of friends across the United States who have been trafficking HUMAN BODY PARTS. Worst of all, Cedric (was) the Harvard Medical School Morgue Manager. Boo Cedric. Shame!! SHAME!!

And Ashley brings it right back around to our alien overlords in A BIT OF BIOLOGY as she discusses some CROP CIRCLES found in the perfect molecular makeup of Melatonin and Niacis (Vitamin B3) - What are our Sky Fathers trying to tell us about these chemicals? That we need to take better care of ourselves? Or that we are being oppressed by the powers that be by clouding our third eye and thus our spiritual judgement? Or maybe it was two farmers after a bar crawl... will we ever know?

Knock Knock, Weirdos!

If someone asks you "What is the scariest sound ever?" And your answer isn't a KNOCK ON A COFFIN then you are LYING

Welcome to another WEEK of WEIRD with your ghostesses Ashley and Lauren! Each week we get together to share stories that are STRANGE and UNUSUAL and this week you'll have to meet us at the crossroads....

Ashley starts us off with an "I HAD A THOUGHT" where she discusses the difference between inner dialogue and channelling and how we should all be leaving offerings for our ancestors and loved ones who have passed on

 Lauren has a THIS WEEK IN WEIRD where she tells the worst story imaginable about a funeral that couldn't have gone worse. I don't want to spoil anything for you but lets just say the deceased.... wasn't.

Ashley takes us into an AUSSIE NEWS where "news" is stretched to it's absolute thinnest as we travel back in time to 1935 when a murder was solved with evidence found in the most unlikeliest of places... the belly of a shark.

And finally Lauren finishes out the show with a brand new segment CURSED CROONERS AND SPOOKY SONGS (Brought to you by friend and former guest Melanie Vartabedian) where we discuss Robert Johnson who may have sold his soul to the devil! And also might be the very first to be inducted into "Club 27" an informal list of famous musicians who died at abruptly at that oh-so-mysterious age.

Hear Ye, Hear Ye weirdos! 

Welcome to another WACKY episode of your favorite WEIRD show!  On Keep It Weird, each week we get together to talk about something strange and unusual and this week we have monsters of all shapes, sizes and species.

You never know where we will go or what we will find so it’s best to be extra prepared.  Grab your thickest gloves (Trust me) make sure you’ve got your sleep masks ready and fire retardant clothing wouldn’t hurt.

Lauren starts us off with a MISS FRIZZLE as we take our magical school bus into the human body to answer the question “Can humans hibernate?”  We discuss whether or not ancient man ever slept for months at a time, if there is a chance we can make it happen again, and would it be used for space travel or just for those of us who want to skip the hot sticky summer?

Ashley takes us back in time for an ancient MONSTER WATCH as we discuss the existence of DRAGONS!  The legend of a dragon has existed all throughout history– within cultures who had no contact with each other.  Did they actually exist at one point?  Are they a creation shared through a collective consciousness?  Or are they just the scariest thing we can think of?

Then it’s time to solve a crime in a super depressing TRUE CRIME TIME where nobody dies!  But honestly, maybe it would have been better if they did.  Lauren tells the story of Carlos- a man who was held captive by his own brother and sister for over TWENTY YEARS in what we now know… is a giant bird cage.

And finally we wrap it up with some immersion therapy that literally makes things worse.  A JEEPERS CREEPERS (God I hate this so much) featuring TARANTULAS.  Everything you never wanted to know about God’s most creepy creature.

Hi weirdos welcome to another episode of KEEP IT WEIRD, the podcast for all things strange and unusual. Each week we get together to chat about something WEIRD and sometimes GROSS and this week it's GROSS!

Ashley starts us off with a REAL OR HOAX segment featuring the sad, strange and especially sick story of Mary Toft- a servant who lived in the 1700s who tried to make it out of her impoverished life with a fraud so vile it's hard to even type it up. Let's just say it involves innocent bunnies being shoved up a vagina. There's no way to beat around that bush.

Lauren swoops in to save the day with a CONSPIRACY THEORY that Queen Elizabeth I wasn't quite herself. In fact, she was so much so not herself that she was a man. Sure, part of the reasoning behind this conspiracy theory is misogynistic AF - but it's interesting nonetheless.

Debbie Downer brings us down again with a new segment called JEEPERS CREEPERS (I hate this so much) in which we discuss an incurable genetic disease called Fatal Familial Insomnia that kills you in less than a year by ENSURING you never enter REM again. And REM is my favorite part of sleep!

And finally, Lauren fails to cheer us up by taking us on a trip for a WHERE IN THE WORLD IS KEEP IT WEIRD GOING segment-- and Back to Tokyo we go! But this time there is no delicious Ramen. There is only hell. Meet us at the hottest date spot in Japan- the Meguro Parasitological Museum! Or you can call it by it's shorter name-- THE PARASITE MUSEUM. Home of the world's longest tapeworm!

And hopefully they come in peace because we are S.O.L. if not.  Hi!  We’re interrupting our regularly scheduled program to bring you up to speed on all things UFO!

This week Ashley is breaking down the latest UFO news including the whistleblower, David Grusch, who claims that not only are UFOs real but that the US government has PHYSICAL EVIDENCE and gosh darnit we deserve to know about it! 

We also breakdown WHY it is important for us to know about the UFOs– important for ALL humankind, not just ET enthusiasts– and we take a look back at some important UFO and Extraterrestrial moments throughout our show that may give us an idea of what is going on behind the scenes… and what we may have to look forward to.

And because I can't get enough high strangeness, I've sprinkled in some REAL audio clips of UFO encounters, as a treat.

A link to every episode referenced in Unidentified: Eyes on the Skies here just in case you can’t get enough.

Happy June, Weirdos!

And welcome to another strange and unusual episode of KEEP IT WEIRD! Each week we get to hang out and chat about some of the weirdest things we know.

This week Ashley starts us off teaching us about the CARRINGTON EVENT! An electromagnetic storm that took place in 1859 that sent the US and parts of Europe into the dark(er) ages.  What are the chances of it happening again?  And what will happen to us when it does?

Then Lauren dives into one of the strangest unsolved mysteries we've ever heard-- The Tromp Family road trip.  A seemingly normal family in Australia up and vanishes and slowly return one by one... and no one... can say WHY?!  What is going ON with these Tromps?!

And finally we take a trip to the open ocean as we find out the freaking KRAKEN IS REAL!  Ok, maybe not, but in 1978 a US NAVY destroyer was rocked by a squid that is calculated to be over three times bigger than any we've ever found...

Good day, weirdos!

Your girls are back for another week of WEIRD and this week is all over the place.

From psychic visions to sex trafficking, killer weather to kidnapping, and even some terrifying technology to keep you awake at night.

After we get our Vanderpump excitement out of the way Lauren starts us off with a TRUE CRIME TIME teaching us about the strange disappearance of Theresa Ann Bier.  Her uncle took her camping one day in 1987 and she hasn’t been seen since…  I wonder… who did it.

Then Ashley takes us into the way WAY back machine with a little history lesson on King Richard III.  This is a new segment called CALL MISS CLEO where we discuss PSYCHIC visions and after 500 years of looking for the lost King’s remains - he was found.  But the only explanation for his discovery may lie in the paranormal.

Lauren swings us forward juuuuust a tad as with an IT’S THE END OF THE WORLD AS WE KNOW IT as we venture into 1948 when the small steel town of Donora Pennsylvania was nearly choked to death by a killer fog.

And finally Ashley wraps it up with a TERRIFYING TECHNOLOGY update where we learn that we currently have the ability to READ MINDS.  And no that is not a euphemism… we can read actual thoughts.

Hey Weirdos!

This episode isn't JUST weird organ stories.... but it kind of is.  Welcome back to KEEP IT WEIRD your main source of the strangest of the strange.  Each week we get together to chat about something WEIRD and this season we are ramping it up- Helter Skelter style.  Only a true weirdo knows what that means...

This week the girls start by giving some LISTENER GHOST STORY UPDATES along with TWO new chilling tales of terror for your listening pleasure. 

Lauren clues us in on some recent COW MUTILATIONS happening in the US of A and we recall a case we covered recently that looked an awful lot like the human version of these cruel bovine murders.

Then Ashley closes us out with a piece on CELLULAR MEMORY-- and if that is what is the cause of inheriting the attributes of your ORGAN DONOR.  Some people receive a new heart and just get to live another day.  Others receive a heart and start enjoying different food... different music... different genders??  Is it possible that memories are stored in our cells??  Or is there something else going on...

Make sure you're following us on Instagram and Twitter @keepitweirdcast and join our Facebook Group/Like our Facebook Page!  Give us 5 stars on iTunes (if you're a true blue weirdo) and take a minute to peruse our Patreon at www.patreon.com/keepitweirdpodcast to find ways you can DONATE to our show and receive TWO bonus episodes a month, discounts on merch, and a monthly newsletter!

Get out your paranormal sticks, weirdos!  It's time for some SCARY STORIES! 

This was a wild bunch, let me tell you.  Two stories left us speechless and that is RARE.

This week is a fan favorite: LISTENER GHOST STORIES! Ashley & Lauren get together to share sometimes terrifying, sometimes sweet, but always creepy REAL life scary stories sent in by YOU, the listener.

On this LGS we have ghosts, we have vampires, we have zombies, we have missing time, we even have tears in the fabric of our very UNIVERSE.

Thank you to everyone who wrote in to us and/or allowed us to share your personal tales of terror!  If anyone ever wants to send us your story please do so by emailing us at keepitweirdpodcast@gmail.com with the subject line LISTENER GHOST STORIES OR you can call us at 626-686-1821 and leave us a voicemail.

(Also, PS: This episode will not be featured on our YouTube channel as we believe LGS is a more enjoyable soundscape but you can check out clips from the video version of this episode by visiting our social media @keepitweirdcast on Instagram & Twitter)

Who knew Hell was so fashionable?!

Hey weirdos, welcome to another episode of Keep It Weird; the podcast for all things strange and unusual, stylish and sultry, electronic and psychic and everything in between.

This week Lauren teaches us about WANG SAEN SUK; a Buddhist HELL GARDEN located in Bang Saen city, Chonburi province, Thailand!  It’s also known as Thailand's Hell Horror Park and it is FULL of some of the most disturbing statues you may ever see!  Yay!

Ashley is diving into the mystery of the DODLESTON MESSAGES- a year and a half long unhinged prank?  A hoax to drive up book sales?  Or was it actually a ghost from 1546 talking to a couple via their 1985 computer?

Lauren finishes off the episode with a couple CONSPIRACY THEORIES - One being PROJECT SUNSHINE which sounds so light and fun but actually has to do with dismembering the corpses of babies?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! HELP. And then the gals tear apart the CHALLENGER Conspiracy that appeared online a few years ago claiming that the victims of the space shuttle challenger disaster of 1986 are actually alive and well and just decided to start new lives and abandon everyone they ever loved for no reason.

You have to every once in a while, right? Maybe not in the way our titular character did it but in your own.. special... safe.. and consensual way.

Hey weirdos! Welcome to another FANTASTIC episode of Keep It Weird; the podcast for all things strange and unusual, apocalyptic and dystopian, creepy, kooky and all things BUCKWILD.

This week Lauren tells us the story of a man in Australia who is looking for dead bodies in all the wrong places for an ART INSTALLATION of all things. She also takes us to a spooky train track in Arkansas that has been haunted by a bouncing light for over fifty years.

Ashley is bringing us a kidnapping where not all was as it seems... but the kidnappers motives aren't surprising to the gals at all. And we're ending the show with THE END OF THE WORLD AS WE KNOW IT kind of. Apocalypses happen all the time-- this particular apocalypse took place in Serbia in 1908 and we all it the Tunguska Event. To this day no one knows what caused it... or if it could happen again.

Greetings Gotham City!

It's me, the classic character, Joker-Riddler-Penguin! And I'm here to wreck all your trains!

This will all make sense in approximately 45 minutes to an hour but in the meantime HELLO and welcome weirdos to another episode of KEEP IT WEIRD with Ashley Casseday & Lauren Ogle.

Each week we get together to teach each other strange science, tell creepy stories, and share magical thoughts and this week we've got quite the variety for you.

Ashley is starting us off with a WHAT IF GOD WAS ONE OF US by teaching us the Gospel of Mary Magdanele and how her ideas of the Christian faith shifted by her own reading of these amazing biblical books that didn't make it into the final draft of the bible.

Lauren TRIES to lighten the mood by talking about how plants in A BIT O' BIOLOGY might be able to talk and hear but it ends up being kind of depressing because we realize how many plants we've killed over the years.

Ashley brings us around to an UNSOLVED MYSTERY as we try to solve the case of the runaway train in Hoboken New Jersey in 2016 and the ominous evil Dr Seuss message that preceded the crash.

And Lauren finishes us off with an (as usual) very special DERP CORNER where we try to understand why a man in a high speed chase would choose the slowest getaway car in history. Check out some links below for further education!

Derp of the Week: Tony Saunders https://www.huffpost.com/entry/school-bus-theft-dead-deer_n_642daa2be4b0b51a6cdeadba

Welcome to the wonderful world of weird!

This week we have an extra CREEPY episode for you that may make you rethink that old radio you still keep in your garage.

This week Ashley is detailing the history of the discovery and research of ELECTRONIC VOICE PHENOMENON otherwise known as EVPs

A lot of people don't realize that the study of these strange voices coming through our radios and showing up on our recordings has existed since we discovered Radio Waves!  And since radio waves are a natural part of our world... how do we know they aren't carrying voices from beyond the grave?  From another dimension?  From our own MINDS?!  

We cover past research into who is working on this study today and we even share a handful of our OWN EVPs we've captured over the years so you can hear them again (or for the first time!)  Be aware-- you may need headphones to hear these bad-boys clearly.

Lauren rounds out our episode with a brand new segment where we travel to RUSSIA to find a city thats all about.... chess?  And an alien told them to build it?  What is happening?

And of course we end our episode with a thought provoking WEIRD question that we'd love you to answer by calling 626-686-1821 and leaving us a message! 

Hello Weirdos and welcome to episode 2 of season 7!

As we covered last week- this season EVERY episode is a Helter Skelter and we cover a VARIETY of weirdness for you each episode!

 This week Ashley and Lauren have a conversation about the idea of past lives and how they could potentially effect the lives we live today.

 Lauren teaches us about how our sense of smell is our strongest sense tied to memories and how losing our ability to smell can lead to a variety of mental health and neurological problems. Yikes

Ashley brings a handful of (failed) government experiments and weapons involving our furriest friends - pigeons, cats and bats!

HELLO YOU STRANGE BEAUTIFUL CREEPS and welcome to SEASON SEVEN of Keep It Weird!!! 

Ho-Ly Sn-ap-ple season seven, can you believe it?  After six full years of content... we think it's time to shake things up a bit. This season we're trying something a little different- as opposed to the episodes being "themed" every episode will be a Helter Skelter.  EVERY episode is going to be chock full of the weirdest of the weird.  Weird news, spooky stories, monsters, murders, aliens, mysticism, things in butts, you name it... we've got it.

This week Ashley and Lauren have a theological history lesson, we find an awesome law enforcement program in Australia, a kitten almost KILLS a guy, we trash talk some (honestly probably very sweet and undeserving) celebs, and we finish it off with the big Kahuna-- Murphysboro Illinois' BIG MUDDY MONSTER.  A bigfoot-like creature who terrorized a small midwest town in the 1970's and could possibly still be there today....

Check out this episode on YOUTUBE if you want to see photos, video clips and some very silly sight gags you may have missed by only enjoying this episode with ONE of your senses.

Ashley is bringing us the year's most fascinating ARCHAEOLOGICAL finds- The golden city of Luxor, The Endurance ship, Saqqara's necropolis, a brand new Egyptian Queen and even an ancient Roman fast food restaurant! 

Lauren's main drag this week is TRUE CRIME- We touch on the Idaho College murders and give updates to the Delphi murders, Gabby Petito's family, the Murdochs, Bobby Durst, Lori Vallow, and even our old friend (or foe??) Adnan Syed!

We cover some things we learned on TikTok this year and some CRAZY discoveries in the world of SCIENCE!  This episode really has it all.
