Welcome to Doveland, weirdos!

 
TW: foul language, psychic phenomenon, government conspiracy, natural disasters, poltergeist violence
 
It's time for another episode of KEEP IT WEIRD!  The podcast for all things strange and unusual, suspicious and soulful, unsolved and unbelievable and everything in between!  Everytime we get together we chat about something WEIRD and this week we've got two very echoey segments for you.
 
Lauren starts us off with an UNSOLVED MYSTERY that we realized after we cut should probably have been a REAL OR HOAX but hey... the summer is hectic ok?  Lauren is teaching us about DOVELAND, WISCONSIN.  A town that... disappeared?  Never existed at all?  Was swallowed by the earth?  Was actually a secret government experiment that they're desperately trying to cover all trace of?  You tell us.
 
Then Ashley introduces the story of Canada's most famous poltergeist- a case known as THE GREAT AMHERST MYSTERY!  This story takes place between the years 1878 and 1880 where an 18 year old girl named Esther Cox and her family were tormented by an invisible force in their small cabin relentlessly for over a year.  Objects moving on their own, loud booming knocks that shook the walls, objects going missing and then falling from the center of the ceiling, mysterious fires, a pesky corporeal trumpet, and even a few stabbings?!  This case has HUNDREDS of witnesses and even converted a hardcore skeptic who lived with the family with the sole objective of proving them to be hoaxsters.

Hey Sports Fans! Welcome to KEEP IT WEIRD, the podcast for all things strange & unusual, ancient & archival, regal & rickety and everything in between!
 
TW: big bugs, mental illness, euthanasia, cancer, curses
 
Every week we get together to chat about something WEIRD and this week is very special because we're celebrating the birthday of one of the world's finest weirdos - - your host LAUREN! 
 
We had a wild start to the episode where we were both ATTACKED by bugs (the bugs were in our room) but once we recovered from the drama we were able to dive into this week's topics.
 
Ashley starts us off with an ANCIENT ARTIFACTS (with Addie Rife!) where she teaches us all about the Iron Pillar of Dehli-- an ancient monument that is somewhere between 1600 and 2300 years old, made of solid iron, that still has not rusted TO THIS DAY!  And speaking of ancient artifacts and metal!  Last month, scientists at CERN accidentally discovered the secret to the Philosopher's Stone.  YOU HEARD ME!  
 
Lauren takes over for a JEEPERS CREEPERS where we dive into a very rare (and very scary) mental health disorder known as CLINICAL LYCANTHROPY aka real life werewolves.  And were...frogs???  
 
To wrap the show the girls pass some MIND BLOWING FACTS back and forth like the time that Mark Ruffalo had a psychic vision, how monkey's find medicinal marvels, the true inspiration for Bluey and more.

We come in peace, weirdos!! But do THEY?!?!!

 
TW: aliens, psychosis & delusions, death by statue
 
Welcome to Keep It Weird, the podcast for all things strange and unusual, extra & extraterrestrial, wiry & wooley and everything in between.  Everytime we get together we chat about something WEIRD!! 
 
This week is a wild one so hold onto your butts (cheeks and cigs) 
 
Ashley starts us off with BREAKING NEWS out of Buga Colombia where a strange metallic orb was not only filmed zipping through the sky but also crash landed and was collected by witnesses in the area and turned into our buddy JAIME MAUSSAN and if this is not a hoax it's a BFDY (Big Freaking Deal, Yo)  According to the scientists studying the sphere- it is cold to the touch, it's WEIGHT FLUCTUATES & it's covered in inscriptions and you won't believe what AI has to say about the meaning behind them.
 
And speaking of AI we have a quick TERRIFYING TECHNOLOGY to counteract how pumped we were to be friends with ChatGPT last time around.  Ashley tells us about a new phenomenon people are calling "ChatGPT Induced Psychosis" wherein users of AI Chat Bots are losing their grip on reality, falling into spiritual rabbit holes, and destroying all the human relationships they have left.
 
Lauren takes us into a segment we call WHERE IN THE WORLD where we travel to just outside of Hong Kong to a city that used to exist called KOWLOON where over 33,000 residents lived in only 350 buildings covering only .01 miles of space........... HOW?!
 
Then we finish off with a very special DECLASSIFIED where Ashley takes us through the CIA  DOC_0005517761 - Declassified back in 2000, this report describes a 250 page KGB file that contains photos, drawings and witness testimonies about a run in that soviet soldiers had with a UFO back in 1990 wherein 23 men were TURNED TO STONE.
 
You heard me.  I told you to hold on to your butts.

H-h-h-hi W-w-w-weirdos.  Is it cold in here?  Or am I just CRYOGENICALLY FROZEN?!

 
TW: death, desecration of a corpse, near death experiences, suicidal ideation & mental health struggles, mention of Hitler, murder trial chat, real gross body stuff
 
Welcome to another episode of KEEP IT WEIRD, the podcast for all things strange and unusual, frigid and freaky, pleasant and possessed and everything in between!
 
Everytime we get together we talk about something WEIRD and this week is bursting at the seams with strangeness.
 
First we tackle some "old business" and check in with each other on the KAREN READ RETRIAL-- boy is that getting juicier and juicer by the day-- and Lauren shares a recent strange experience she had with a stick of eyeliner.
 
Lauren kicks off the main event with A THOUGHT she had about time.  Are there different times of the year, months-weeks-days, that harbor darkness? Why does it pour when it rains?  Why is April the most cursed month in recent human history?  Why do wars begin in August? Our ancestors had rituals to get us through these tougher months-- are we self perpetuating the fear and therefore the trauma?  Could we benefit from ancient rituals to aid us in living through the tougher times? 
 
Then Ashley bursts through the door along with MISS FRIZZLE for some human body mysteries!  Starting off with a phenomenon known as the "Returning Soldier Effect" and we question why more male children are born directly after war.  Several theories have been presented, but it's still quite the mystery. 
 
Then we move on to FROZEN PEOPLE starting with the story of Jean Hillard who spent 6 hours freezing in the snow back in 1980 and SURVIVED!! Then we wrap up the episode discussing CRYONICS and the dangers of cryogenically freezing your body in the hopes of being reanimated when the technology catches up to the theoretical science in the future.
 
Don't miss out on the end of episode TAROT CARD reading for more insights in today's show. Check out some LINKS below if you want to do further reading on any of the topics we discussed today.

Do the Dew, weirdos!

 
Welcome to another episode of KEEP IT WEIRD, the podcast for all things strange and unusual, mysterious and maddening, freaky and "freakay" and everything in between.  
 
Everytime we get together we chat about something WEIRD and this week is DOLPHIN FREE!! 
 
The gals start off with some current events as they discuss HBO's "Hollywood Demons" series and share their opinions on the Blue Origin all female space flight that took place earlier this month.  Spoiler: We're not impressed.
 
Then Ashley takes us into some CONSPIRACY THEORIES involving our favorite alphabet overlords-- the NSA and the CIA.  First on the chopping block is the NSA and their involvement with 33 Thomas St NYC New York-- supposedly just a simple AT&T building until Edward Snowden leaked highly classified information back in 2014.  After some pretty simple math it was discovered that that enormous spooky building was actually the largest NSA surveillance building on United States soil.  Codename: TITANPOINTE. 
 
If you think AT&T being in cahoots with the NSA is bad... wait until you hear about Pepsi's connection to the CIA.  Because next we discuss the conspiracy theory that MOUNTAIN DEW releases its new wacky flavors right before major disasters.  Why, you ask? Well... that's... not an easy question to answer.  But we sure try.
 
Finally Lauren takes us into a REALITY TV CORNER and teaches us about an epic fail of a reality tv show called "Eden."  It's also called "Eden: Paradise Lost" for a very dumb reason.  Actually almost everything about this show was dumb, especially the part where they took it off the air and FORGOT TO TELL THE CAST AND CREW.

TW: foul language and real tears
 

Are you eating a well balanced regular human diet, weirdos?

 
Welcome to KEEP IT WEIRD, the podcast for all things strange and unusual, hair-raising and blood-curdling, riveting and READY To RUMMBLEEE and everything in between. 
 
Each episode we get together to chat about something WEIRD and this episode is no exception. 
 
Today Lauren is asking is it REAL OR HOAX as we look into the medieval legend of the Green Children of Woolpit.  Legend has it that two strangely dressed children speaking an unknown language wandered into the village of Woolpit wayyyy back in the 12th century and not only were they out of place but they were also GREEN!  That's right.  Green.  WTF?
 
Then Ashley takes us into a new segment called SUPER SYNCHRONICITIES where we will be chronicling the strange entanglements and meaningful coincidences in our lives and surrounding our show.  This first foray is all about THE TELEPATHY TAPES - a podcast produced and hosted by Ky Dickens exploring the idea of consciousness, the possibility of psi-powers and the unbelievable experiences of non-verbal autistic children and their families and teachers.
 
Check out some links below if you want to do more reading (or listening!  Looking at you, Ky!) on the topics we discussed in today's episode.

TW: drug use (the fun kind) murder (the not fun kind) self castration (yikes spikes) sexual assault (theres a happy ending) mention of suicide (sorry) and laughter at really inappropriate times (not sorry)
 
Happy Birthday, Weirdos!! 
 
Technically it's only Ashley's birthday and TECHNICALLY technically her birthday was a week ago but her birthday is your birthday is OUR birthday so lets P A R T Y!
 
Once a year we record an episode after imbibing in THC gummies and share mind blowing stories and facts with each other.  Are these episodes fun?  Yes.  Are they chaotic?  YesX2.  

This special brownie, er, episode is full of strangeness including but not limited to - The latest Ghost Adventures drama, what the International Space Station smells like, the DNA we share with Bananas, the brain that exists in our guts, Carrie Fisher standing up for women everywhere, a Peanut Butter Jelly Bad Time, aliens in our oceans (yes, again) and an American hero that cut off his own testicles.
 
ALSO, this episode contains the PREMIERE of our new monthly segment MIND BODY SPIRIT(S) with our very favorite psychic medium AMY GOLDENBERG!! Just a snippet of the episode will be included here, but check out our YouTube Channel for the full 37 minute chat about ANXIETY.

Don't Panic, Weirdos!
 
TW: photos of mummified remains, death, possible murder & torture, stillbirth, depression, animal abuse
 
Welcome to another episode of KEEP IT WEIRD the podcast for all things strange & unusual, beautiful & batty, creepy & cringe and everything in between!
 
Everytime we get together we chat about something WEIRD and this week we've got quite the adventure for you.  
 
Lauren is going to start us off with an UNSOLVED MYSTERY straight out of the BOG.  From as far back as the 17th century we have been discovering strangely preserved BODIES in the bogs of Europe, some of which date all the way back to 8000 BC, and no one knows why they are there.  The unique physical and biochemical composition of the peat bogs have kept some of these bodies preserved to the point that they still have hair, internal organs and even FOOD (and drugs) in their stomachs.
 
Was this a popular dumping ground for murderers?  Was it a holy place used for ritual sacrifice?  Did these folks just wander into the bog?  We may never know...
 
Then Ashley is taking us DOWN THE RABBIT HOLE for a quest that takes us from Marine Mammal Law all the way to NHI (Non-Human Intelligence) theories as we read some stories about cetaceans, specifically DOLPHINS, and their potential to have special abilities far beyond our understanding.  Can they communicate telepathically?  Help heal the sick?  Act as your doula? Control UFOs?  It may sound crazy, but that's because we live in a crazy world.

ALSO this episode features our very first WITCHY WEATHER FORECAST hosted by Laura Lareau!! Laura will pop in to every other episode to give us a look at that month's celestial energies, moon phases, and all around witchy festivities to teach us how to celebrate our woo-woo side and get in touch with our inner witch.  The FULL forecast will be posted on our YouTube Channel as a separate video if you want to hear the whole thing.

Take Us To Your Leader, Weirdos!

Actually... on second thought... pass lol.

TW: missing people, suicide, government conspiracies, anti-vax propaganda

Welcome to episode 2 of Season 9 and this week we have a VERY special guest! Her name is Justine Binx, she's been a listener of our show for YEARS, she quickly became a friend of the pod AND she's so dang good at Halloween she won a guest spot on our show!

And what an amazing guest she was as she joined us to have a long chat about ALIENS!! At least once a year we try to dedicate an episode to our little grey friends in the sky and try to answer some of our most burning questions:

 What are they?

 Extraterrestrials? Interdimensional beings? Ultra-terrestrials? Our own government?

Why are they here?

Are they harvesting our organs? Studying us like an endangered species? Hoping to bring us into a higher consciousness? Do they want to save us or enslave us?

And where do they come from?

Most people assume its outer space, but maybe it's inner space? Another dimension? The ocean? A cave? Our own minds?

Today we're going to try and find answers to these questions by examining UAP disclosure files, reading a sci fi novel from 1953, pondering the missing persons case of GRANGER TAYLOR from 1980 and even checking in with a former intelligence officer who goes by AÑJALI has seen a secret alien base with her own eyes.... allegedly.

TW: Faith, references to hell, references to murder, sexism

Welcome to HELL weirdos!

And welcome back to KEEP IT WEIRD-- the podcast about all things strange and unusual, haunted and hellbound, paranormal and posiTIVELY creepy, and everything in between.

 
And this is SEASON NINE of our show!! Wow. Another year of weird and the best part is we get to spend it with you!
 
This episode starts with Lauren sharing some interesting facts about VALENTINE'S DAY- easily the worst of our holidays.
 
Then Ashley takes us into WHAT IF GOD WAS ONE OF US where we research the origins of H E Double Hockeysticks and find out, whoopsie daisy, it's not even IN THE BIBLE. So where did the idea of eternal suffering in a realm of flames even come from?
 
And Lauren finishes us off with a BIT O' BIOLOGY as we look at the incredible biological discoveries that 2024 brought us. From fingerprint technology (thanks jellyfish!) to natural fiberoptics (thanks heart cockles!) and even to new potential new plant medicine (thanks monkeys!)

Yuletide Greeting’s Weirdos!

Welcome to our season 8 FINALE episode featuring special guest medium & healer AMY GOLDENBERG!!

Join us as we discuss life, liberty & the pursuit of happiness (and aliens, of course) as we move into a new year full of new fears & more beers.  We'll see you in 2025!

Twas the week before Yule and all through the pod

Not a creature was stirring, except maybe the gods

The Yule log was burning up the chimney with care

In hopes that Mabon soon would be there

The girls were all nestled with headphones on their heads

While visions of Gaia danced in their… heads oh boy I’m losing it

And Ashley in her elf hat and Lauren with her night cap

Had just settled in for a long winters chat

When out on the lawn arose such a clatter

We ran out into the snow to see what was the matter

Blah blah blah

When what do our wondering eyes should appear

The epitome of yuletide gay had entered our sphere

With rosy red cheeks and a dash of magnesium

We knew right away it was our favorite medium

She spoke not a word but went straight to her work

She was speaking with the dead as she turned with a jerk

She sprang to our side to discuss life on the planet

And of course we had issues with technology, damnit

But in the end, your girls had a great time,

So join us won’t you?  I’m running out of rhymes

Let us ring in the new year with a new set of dreams

Happy Yule to all, and to all a good scream…s.

TW: Murder, racism, war, mention of rape
 

Welcome back, Weirdos and WATCH OUT FOR VOORHEES!! it's another Friday the 13th episode!

 
Every time we get together we chat about something WEIRD and this week is chock-full of crazy.
 
Lauren starts us off by reminding us the reason for the season-- the season of course being Friday the 13th and the reason being FEAR.  Lauren breaks down some of the WORST most horrible horrific things to have ever occurred on Friday the 13th - just to get our blood flowing.
 
Then Ashley comes in with a WHOPPER of a CONSPIRACY THEORY!!  Did you know that some people believe that the reason the United States invaded Iraq in 2003 was because they were attempting to reverse engineer alien technology and they knew that there was information hidden in ancient sumerian texts & artifacts that held the secrets they were missing?  SOUNDS NUTS but hear us out-- there might be something to this one.
 
Then Lauren finishes off strong with a WHERE IN THE WORLD IS KEEP IT WEIRD and a trip to the Wisconsin Dells.  What is a dell you ask?  Nobody knows.  We talk about water parks, haunted saloons, creepy TCBYs, clown museums, strange archeological finds and more.  Long live the dells!
 
Check out some LINKS below if you want to do some reading on today's strange topics! 
 
Thank you SO MUCH for tuning in to another episode of our show.  Prepare yourself for our SEASON 8 FINALE next week with an amazing guest and all the yule tide cheer you can handle.

TW: Mental Health Disorders (schizophrenia, depression, Cotard's syndrome) Drug Use, Death

It's a nice day for a... Black Friday!  It's a nice day to... START AGAIIIIIN!

 
Hi Weirdos!! Happy BLACK Friday we hope you're ready to do the Brain Worm Squirm as we dive into this week's WEIRD topics and celebrate all things DARK!
 
Lauren starts us off with a banger as she launches into JEEPERS CREEPERS (I hate it so much) and teaches us about Cotard's Syndrome.  It's nickname however is maybe more appropriate: "Walking Corpse Syndrome."  Cotard's is a very rare mental disorder wherein the patient believes either they ARE dead (or dying,) they no longer exist, or sometimes simply that they are losing blood, internal organs or body parts.  Its... rough.
 
But no worries, Ashley is here to lighten the mood with an ANCIENT ARTIFACTS (sponsored by Addie Rife) that is all about AYAHUASCA! How the drug is made, what it is doing to your brain when ingested and even how use of the drug could solve some of mankind's OLDEST mysteries.  From deep in the Amazon to the furthest reaches of space and time-- this is one TRIP you don't want to miss.  Get it?

Welcome to Hell, Weirdos!!


Just kidding, it won't ALL be hell.  Only a little hell, as a treat.
 
Welcome to KEEP IT WEIRD the podcast for all things strange and unusual, unsettling and unsolved, unexplained and overwhelmed, spicy, silly and everything in between and we are OFFICALLY BACK to finish out another year of weird.
 
This week is heavy on the mysteries but, hey, so is life my friend!  Ashley starts us off with the Canneto di Caronia fires that took place in 2003 & 2004.  HUNDREDS of spontaneous fires erupted in the small Sicilian village prompting the government to evacuate and bring in hundreds of specialists to look for a cause.. but to this day... we have very few answers.
 
Lauren brings us a new segment THE MISSING and covers the tragic story of Christine Walters who has now been missing for 16 years.  Was she involved in the illegal farming of marijuana?  Did she join a cult?  Was she attacked by someone on one of her nature walks?  Unfortunately we may never know
 
Just in case that last story got a little too depressing-- Ashley comes back in with an unsolved mystery from 1969 revolving the LESSER FAMOUS space flight Apollo 10.  Something very strange happened aboard that ship and we'll never know who was responsible....

TW: death, murder, torture cannibalism, animal injuries, government conspiracies, and brief mention of pedophilia 
 
Do you think I'm spooky, weirdos?
 
Welcome to KEEP IT WEIRD the podcast for all things strange & unusual, X-tra creepy & conspiratorial, X-tremely vile and X-actly what you need this October
 
This episode is an X-FILES-TRAVAGANZA!! It's time to put on your Scully and Mulder thinking caps to try and get to the bottom of some REAL LIFE X-Files that REALLY could have used Fox and Dana's investigating.
 
Our (returning) special guest this week, artist BILLY ROACH is bringing us a nice CONSPIRACY as we chat about the fact & fictions surrounding the REPTILIANS.  Are they here?  Have they taken over the bodies of politicians, actors and royalty?  DO THEY HAVE LOW BLOOD PRESSURE?
 
Ashley makes sure we get a little ALIEN CHAT in right at the beginning before she brings us a very Scully-friendly SCIENTIFIC look at a 100+ year old mystery.  How in the world did Edward Leedskalnin build Coral Castle in Florida?  How did he lift objects that were close to 60,000 lbs?  BY HIMSELF?!  In the dark.... ??
 
And finally Lauren brings us our MONSTER OF THE WEEK as she chronicles the life and death of a man only known as TARRARE.  His insatiable hunger (that was caused by either an unknown disease or the fact that he was born on another planet) got him kicked out of his family home, made him the star of the circus, almost got him killed in the war between France & Prussia and eventually put him in some real hot water when he turned to human flesh for satisfaction.
 
Join us for this X-tra long, X-tra WEIRD episode and love letter to one of the best TV shows of all time.

TW: Sexual assault, suspicions of murder, missing persons, short mention of abuse of an animal

 
 
Bonjour, Weirdos and welcome to another episode of KEEP IT WEIRD the podcast for all things strange & unusual, conspiratorial & psychological, unsolved & unhinged and EVERYTHING in between.
 
This week we've got some OLD BUSINESS to attend to right off the bat because Ashley has an update from last episode on THE GATEWAY PROJECT!! Turns out... uh...  page 25 has not been missing for a few years now.  So we go over what that page entails and how it may just change the way you view the world forever.
 
Then Lauren takes us into a PARANORMAL PARADISE as we discover you don't need an old dilapidated mansion to live with ghosts-- sometimes apartments can be JUST as scary!  The haunting of Brooklyn's 455A Sackett Street is a strange and terrifying tale of what happens when a place is used for bad deeds for too long....
 
Ashley brings us home with an UNSOLVED MYSTERY and potentially even an unsolved murder, as we learn about a man named Louis Le Prince who disappeared without a trace only DAYS before he was to unveil the world's very first working moving picture machine.  The patent for the machine just so happened to disappear alongside him and a mere 8 months later a very famous inventor announced that HE had invented the world's very first moving picture machine... and boy did it look an awful lot like Le Prince's design......
 
Today's episode is dedicated to a lover of our show, a listener we lost on September 21st, 2023.  Susan Lee Bartlem, Lee to all who knew her well, passed away exactly a year to the DAY that we recorded this episode.  (which was an accident... but there are no accidents.)  Lee was a beloved teacher at Rockhampton Girls Grammar School in Queensland Australia for 23 years and she was a REAL WEIRDO.  Not only did they play Metallica and read Anne Rice at her funeral, but her family even got Keep It Weird tattoos in her honor.  It would have been a thrill to meet Lee in real life, on this astral plane, but she lives on forever in the hearts of her students, her friends and family, and with all of us who call ourselves weirdos with pride.

TW: witchcraft, murder, air travel disasters
 
Hi Weirdos!! 
 
Welcome to another episode of KEEP IT WEIRD-- the podcast for all things strange & unusual, wicked and WILD, perky and petrifying and everything in between.

This week's episode is a wild ride and we're traveling all throughout space and time to bring it to you!
 
Lauren starts us off with a WHERE IN THE WORLD (Is Keep It Weird Going?) as we astral project to an old creepy cave in LONDON where a witch was born!  Mother Shipton's Cave is England's OLDEST tourist attraction-- it's been operating since 1630!!  There are a lot of strange things about this cave-- specifically the petrifying water well that turns objects into stone!  AND DID I MENTION A WITCH WAS BORN THERE?!
 
Then we both fall DOWN THE RABBIT HOLE where Ashley takes us from a prophetic dream, to a plane crash, to a CIA declassified document, to NASA and then all the way back to a 13th century dance as we discuss consciousness & whether or not it can temporarily leave our bodies.

TW: Torture, starvation, humiliation, death, apocalypse & end times (specifically the religious kind) 

Another day, another END TIMES PROPHECY.  

That's ok though, because after THIS episode you're either going to feel secure that the world is not going to end OR you're going to be begging for its destruction.
 
Hello this is Keep It Weird, the podcast for all things strange & unusual!  Every time we get together we chat about something WEIRD and this episode is no exception.
 
Ashley starts us of with the segment END OF THE WORLD AS WE KNOW IT and tells us all about the PROPHECY OF SAINT MALACHY (more commonly referred to as The Prophecy of the Popes) In 1139 AD Malachy had an intense vision that documented ALL future popes.  The end times would come during the time of the 112th pope.  AND WOULDN'T YA JUST KNOW IT -- guess who is number 112!
 
Lauren does nothing to make us feel better about ourselves as we dive into REALITY TV CORNER and discuss the horrific story Susunu! Denpa Shōnen in which a young fella named Nasubi was forced to stay alone and unclothed in a small apartment (with no food or access to the outside world) until he won enough money playing mail in sweepstakes to earn his way out.  Did we mention he didn't know he was being broadcast LIVE??
 
And finally we jam our way into REAL OR HOAX as we discuss the Nazca Alien Mummies.  You may remember them from that presentation to the congress of Mexico last year?  Journalist (& ufologist) Jaime Maussan is NOT letting go of these corpses and he's still releasing bits of their discoveries every day.  Are these cake-like mummies the real deal??  Or are they just another hoax (like the mummies he produced in 2015) (and the mummies he produced in 2016)(and the mummies he produced in 2017)

TW: genetic experimentation on animals, mention of Satan
 
 

Oh Frabjious Day, weirdos!

 
Welcome to another episode of KEEP IT WEIRD, the podcast for all things strange and unusual, hairy and scary, mysterious and unknown and everything in between!!
 
This week we cover FOUR very WEIRD topics, we introduce some new segments, we show off some cool stuff we bought with our adult money and we even recite some poetry.
 
Lauren starts us off with her very first MONSTER WATCH as we head to Santa Paula California in search of the BILLIWHACK MONSTER.  This thing might be a bigfoot, a government experiment gone horribly awry, an interdimensional creature that crawled through a hole in space-time or possibly the devil himself.
 
Ashley brings us two stories in a new segment she calls MONKEY'N AROUND!  First up is our new favorite Orangutan, KEN ALLEN.  Known as the "Hairy Houdini" at the San Diego zoo, Ken became famous for outwitting his zoo handlers and escaping his "inescapable" enclosure several times.  Then we head into the modern day and discuss China splicing human DNA into chimpanzees.  The goal is to attempt to find the gene that gave us consciousness... but could it result in Planet of the Apes?
 
And finally Lauren gives us a BIT O' BIOLOGY with a 2009 study in Scientific American regarding music and how not only does it move us emotionally and affect our "heart" but it also might affect our HEART!! That's right, it's possible that Music may help keep your cardiovascular system regulated and we may be able to use music in the future to help treat victims of heart attacks and strokes to re-regulate their circulatory systems.

WARNING: This episode contains foul language, discussions about death, suicide, drug use, the afterlife, demonic activity, and the deaths of animals.  There are music and sound effects that may be jarring to some listeners.

Do you hear that weirdos?  That strange creak down the hall?  The footsteps on the stairs?  The whisper just behind your shoulder?

Well you WILL after you listen to this GHOST STORIES MEGA SODE!! It’s been 8 years (7-½ but whose counting?) and every season we have multiple LISTENER GHOST STORIES episodes where we present REAL stories sent in by YOU, our amazing listeners.

It’s high time that we compile some of these bad boys so this week’s episode is a celebration of creeping each other out.  A fiesta of freaking our beans.  A jamboree of just about pissing our pants.

FIFTEEN horror stories from ten different past episodes. 

Season 2: YOU CAN’T HANDLE THE TOOTH  -  Sugar, Spice & Bathroom Ghosts Twice  -  If You Got It, Haunt It

Season 3: Hot Eats, Cool Treats, Haunted by a Child  -  Clap If you Believe in the Barn!

Season 4: Beep Beep Richie  -  Ghost Haircuts & New Friends  -  100% That Witch

Season 5: Are You Happy Now?  -  A Streetcar Named WTF

 As usual, these episodes contain sound effects and music that some listeners may find jarring.  There will NOT be a sound effect/music free version of this on the patreon this time around because I don’t even think I have the original files anymore, haha.  So I apologize.

 Music featured in this episode by Vivek Abhishek, Ross Budgen, CO AG Music, and the Hadwin Channel.  

We will be back to our regularly scheduled program NEXT WEEK but in the meantime: 

Please send us YOUR strange experiences to keepitweirdpodcast@gmail.com for future episodes of scary stories.

TW: drugs, drugging people without their knowledge, sex work, assassination attempts, references to violent video games, rape and pornography

 It's for your own good, weirdos.

Hello and welcome to another episode of KEEP IT WEIRD; the podcast for all things strange and unusual. declassified and dangerous, haunted and hinky and everything in between.

Every time we get together it's another opportunity to talk about something WEIRD and this week is definitely no exception.

Ashley starts us off with a DECLASSIFIED diving into yet another secret CIA operation called Operation Midnight Climax and yes it's exactly what it sounds like. A decade long operation under the MK ULTRA program wherein the CIA hired sex workers to bring clients back to their government funded bordello and illegally dose them with LSD and other mind altering substances.

Lauren takes us into an UNSOLVED MYSTERY straight out of Black Forest Colorado-- where a family moves into a home that may actually be built directly on top of a rip in space-time. Flashing lights, loud sounds, apparitions, music, laser beams, chemical burns, and faces in all of the mirrors. Count me out, fellas.

And last but not least we tiptoe into TERRIFYING TECHNOLOGY and examine the theory that our modern technological boom may have been a gift (or a weapon) given to us by extraterrestrials all the way back in Roswell, New Mexico. We discuss Colonel Phillip J Corso's claims that whatever crashed in Roswell led to fiberoptics and microchips & therefore computers an the internet and we also take a look at an indigenous tribe, deep in the Amazon, called the Marubo and what happens when you give a community their first access to the internet.

TW: untimely death, hauntings, terrifying cryptids & blood

Well well well, weirdos, we meet again!

 
Welcome to another episode of KEEP IT WEIRD, the podcast for all things strange and unusual, nautical and nasty, mysterious and monstrous and everything in between.  Every episode we talk about something WEIRD and this episode is no exception.
 
Ashley starts us off with a PARANORMAL PARADISE that features a leftover LISTENER GHOST STORY from last week about a man who believes he saw the exact staircase his mother died on... several years before it occurred.

Then Lauren asks WHERE IN THE WORLD(Is Keep It Weird Going?) as we astral travel to DOOR COUNTY Wisconsin which is apparently chock full of haunted lighthouses.  
 
Ashley grabs the binoculars for a MONSTER WATCH where the MOTHBOYS PODCAST leads us to a very strange cryptid from West Virginia (where else, amirite?) called THE VEGGIE MAN
 
And Lauren finishes off strong with another CURSED CROONERS (& Spooky Songs) as we discuss the curse of the 9th symphony!  Which 9th symphony you ask?  ALL OF THEM.
 
Check out the links below if you want to do some further reading on today's topics.
