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?

Did It All For WHAT Nookie? 0

Nov 15, 2024

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....
