    The Truth is IN HERE

    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.   Follow Billy Roach @billyroachart   Make sure you are following us on social media @keepitweirdcast we are currently running our OCTOBER CONTESTS where you can win free merch, free sponsorship of a KIW Segment AND the grand prize of BEING A GUEST ON OUR SHOW!!    Join our Patreon at www.patreon.com/keepitweirdpodcast-- this is how we get ALL of our money to produce this show, make and distribute our merch and ensure that we keep coming back season after season.  You won't go home empty handed-- you'll get bonus episodes every month, discounts on merch and FREE tarot readings!!    And if you're watching us on Youtube LIKE THIS VIDEO & SUBSCRIBE to our channel :)   LIZARDS FOR SURE https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reptilian_conspiracy_theory   https://www.nbcnews.com/think/opinion/qanon-s-capitol-rioters-nashville-bomber-s-lizard-people-theory-ncna1253819   https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2016/apr/07/conspiracy-theory-paranoia-aliens-illuminati-beyonce-vaccines-cliven-bundy-jfk   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CFpenWfCPyM   https://www.lemonde.fr/en/international/article/2022/10/21/dutch-far-right-leader-claims-world-is-governed-by-evil-reptiles_6001236_4.html   https://cityofbishopvillesc.com/the-lizard-man/     THE IMPOSSIBLE CASTLE https://bittersoutherner.com/coral-castle-a-haunting-monument-to-love-or-aliens-or-limestone-coral-castle   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_Leedskalnin   https://frightfind.com/mystery-of-the-coral-castle/   MONSTER TARRARE https://www.spoldhamauthor.com/spoldhamauthor/blog/the-truly-horrific-and-insatiable-appetites-of-tarrare-and-of-charles-domery   https://retrofuturista.com/the-insatiable-tarrare-a-man-of-unfathomable-hunger/   https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20161014-the-man-who-couldnt-stop-eating

    Lightbulb Boycott

    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.   Check out some LINKS below if you want to do some further reading on today's strange tales.   Follow us on social media @keepitweirdcast LIKE our videos and SUBSCRIBE to our channel on YouTube at www.youtube.com/keepitweirdpodcast   JOIN OUR PATREON for bonus episodes every month, discounts on merch, a chance to sponsor a segment of our show AND FREE tarot readings.   That Darn Missing Page https://www.vice.com/en/article/found-page-25-of-the-cias-gateway-report-on-astral-projection/   Apartment from Hell https://www.yourghoststories.com/real-ghost-story.php?story=172 https://www.housebeautiful.com/lifestyle/g22635979/real-life-haunted-house-stories/#   Missing Le Prince https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1369702108701603   https://harpers.org/archive/2022/04/who-killed-louis-le-prince-on-the-forgotten-father-of-film/

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.   Check out some links below if you want to do some further reading on the topics discussed in today's episode!   FOLLOW US on social media @keepitweirdcast   LIKE & SUBSCRIBE if you're on youtube (and if you aren't, get over there!! www.youtube.com/keepitweirdpodcast)   JOIN OUR PATREON at www.patreon.com/keepitweirdpodcast for bonus episodes, discounts on merch, divination readings & more!   MOTHER SHIPTON'S CAVE https://www.mothershipton.co.uk/   https://www.atlasobscura.com/places/mother-shipton-s-cave-and-the-petrifying-well   https://historytheinterestingbits.com/2015/08/14/old-mother-shipton/     Collective Consciousness/Gateway Process/Premonitions/OBE https://morbidkuriosity.com/david-booth-and-american-airlines-flight-191/   https://admiralcloudberg.medium.com/rain-of-fire-falling-the-crash-of-american-airlines-flight-191-e17ffc5369e5   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xoDi40ZxNqU   https://www.vice.com/en/article/7k9qag/how-to-escape-the-confines-of-time-and-space-according-to-the-cia/   https://www.cia.gov/readingroom/docs/CIA-RDP96-00788R001700210016-5.pdf   https://magazine.tcu.edu/spring-2008/losing-consciousness-cockpit/   https://www.dar-al-masnavi.org/about_rumi.html   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sufi_whirling

    APOPECALYPSE

    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)   Check out some links below if you want to do some more research into today's topics!!    JOIN OUR PATREON at www.patreon.com/keepitweirdpodcast to help us produce our show & keep it ad-free!  You'll get TWO BONUS EPISODES a month, free DIVINATION READINGS, discounts on merch & exclusive clips & bloopers.   FOLLOW US on social media @keepitweirdcast   SUBSCRIBE to our YouTube Channel at www.youtube.com/keepitweirdpodcast   BUY MERCH/PERUSE OUR SITE at www.keepitweirdpodcast.com   THE LAST POPE https://www.saintmalachy.org/Home/PatronSaint.aspx#:~:text=Many%20miracles%20were%20attributed%20to,her%20first%20confession%20to%20Malachy.   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prophecy_of_the_Popes   https://www.tomorrowsworld.org/magazines/2013/may-june/francis-i-the-final-pope   REALITY SHOW FROM HELL https://faroutmagazine.co.uk/the-disturbing-tale-of-the-twisted-reality-show-susunu-denpa-shonen/   https://www.theguardian.com/film/2024/may/02/the-contestant-documentary-japanese-reality-show   ALIEN MUMMIES https://community.ubiquityuniversity.org/posts/scientists-that-have-researched-the-3-finger-mummies   https://metametals.com/osmium-info#:~:text=Several%20properties%20and%20factors%20come,precious%20metals%20in%20the%20world.   https://anomalien.com/rare-metal-osmium-found-in-alleged-alien-mummies/   https://community.ubiquityuniversity.org/posts/scientists-that-have-researched-the-3-finger-mummies

    Jabberwocky Strikes Again

    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.   Click on some of the links down below if you'd like to do some extra reading on the topics we discussed in today's episode.   SUBSCRIBE to our YouTube channel at www.youtube.com/keepitweirdpodcast   JOIN OUR PATREON at www.patreon.com/keepitweirdpodcast-- it's how we continue to keep ads OUT of the body of our episodes and pay for all the programs that keep this show going -- you can donate as little as $1/mo and up to $50/mo and in return you'll get discounts on merchandise, TWO BONUS EPISODES a month and you can even sponsor a segment of the show.   FOLLOW US on social media @keepitweirdcast   CHECK OUT OUR SITE for articles on our one and only murder investigation, book recommendations and links to our merchandise www.keepitweirdpodcast.com   Billi-WHACK https://discover.hubpages.com/religion-philosophy/The-Beast-of-Billiwhack-and-Other-Imaginary-Monsters   https://www.cryptidscalifornia.com/the-cryptids/billiwhack-monster   https://sites.google.com/view/californiatruecrime/additional-content/billiwhack-monster   RIP KEN ALLEN https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ken_Allen   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ME4H2WN7BEU   Monkey'n Around a Little Too Much https://www.technologyreview.com/2019/04/10/136131/chinese-scientists-have-put-human-brain-genes-in-monkeysand-yes-they-may-be-smarter/     Groove is in the Heart https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/music-therapy-heart-cardiovascular/

    Secret Agent Men

    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.  Check out some LINKS below if you want to dive deeper into the topics we discussed today.   PLEASE donate to our patreon at www.patreon.com/keepitweirdpodcast - you can give as little as $1/mo all the way up to $50/mo to support our show and in return you'll receive BONUS EPISODES, discounts on MERCHANDISE and complimentary DIVINATION READINGS when you need some spiritual guidance.   FOLLOW US on socials @keepitweirdcast SUBSCRIBE to our YouTube Channel www.youtube.com/keepitweirdpodcast   CHECK OUT OUR SITE for links to our merchandise, book recommendations, research materials on one of our favorite cases and more.   CIA: Creepy Intelligence Agency  https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Midnight_Climax https://coffeeordie.com/cia-midnight-climax  https://www.sfgate.com/cannabis/article/cia-agents-mixed-lsd-and-sex-at-sf-brothel-18136017.php   The Cabin from Hell  https://www.riseupparanormal.com/database/blackforesthaunting.htm https://www.onlyinyourstate.com/colorado/black-forest-co-haunting/ https://youtu.be/50XRPipqJJQ?si=uBSdMLNzeTRZbYFB   Extraterrestrial Weapon or Human's Own Undoing?  https://www.nytimes.com/2024/06/02/world/americas/starlink-internet-elon-musk-brazil-amazon.html https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20230403-how-cellphones-have-changed-our-brains  https://www.amazon.com/Day-After-Roswell-Philip-Corso/dp/067101756X  https://www.xaluannews.com/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=3266663#google_vignette
