Hysteria 51 is your offbeat weekly podcast destination for all things weird and wonderful! We navigate the cosmic highways of UFOs, the alien-infested landscapes, and the enigmatic frontiers of the paranormal. With your hosts, Brent Hand and David Flora, alongside our cantankerous tin man, Conspiracy Bot (with a not-so-subtle desire to rule the world, doubling as our chief inquisitor into the unknown), we delve into unique mysteries, the inexplicable, and the downright unusual.
Each week, we explore a fresh topic, making one thing crystal clear... the truth is out there, but you won’t find it here.
The Rake
One of the internet's most enduring creepypastas—a story of a terrifying creature that preys on unsuspecting people in their sleep. Born from the online world, it quickly gained popularity, growing from a simple, scary tale into a fully-fledged phenomenon. This week we dive into its evolution, influence on pop culture, and its impact on those who’ve encountered stories about it, on Hysteria 51.
