It Gets Weird

Hey there friends and weirdos! This week we checked out the documentary Saucers, Spooks and Kooks, based off the Adam Gorightly book by the same name. Much like a similar documentary we've enjoyed previously (Mirage Men), this documentary covers the Bennewitz Affair in depth, pulling on the many threads that connect to his story. How does Bennewitz and the psychological operation used against him and his belief in aliens call into question the entire field of ufology? Listen and find out!

Hey there friends and weirdos! This week we take a trip down undah to talk about one of the biggest UFO events in Australia! A big group of schoolchildren witness the so-called Westall UFO; some even faint in terror. Was this a UFO or a secret government test that used UFO fever as a cover-up? When mysterious men show up and start threatening school staff, is it an Australian visit from Men in Black, perhaps? We discuss all this and much more!

Hey there friends and weirdos! This week we rope friend of the show KT back into a discussion of our favorite Cosmick Traveller, Dirk Gillabel. In this one we explore beyond singing bowls, tarot, and gnomes. How does the etheric body work? How can you use astral projection to contact sound-light beings? Did Dirk have a chance encounter with a Dragon entity in 90s New York? Who is the Lady with the Star? We discuss all this and much more!

Hey there friends and weirdos! This week Nile brings a new-ish cryptid to the show: snakes. Love 'em or hate 'em, we've got two stories of monstrous snakes that terrorized small town folks in the US back in the 50s and 60s. How big can snakes really get? What kinds of genitalia do they have? Do we really want to talk at length about snake genitals? Yes we do. All this and much more!

Hey there friends and weirdos! This week we decided to learn about Smashing Pumpkin's notorious front-man, Billy Corgan. It turns out Mr. Corgan is no stranger to the strange and supernatural...did he witness a true shapeshifter in-person? Was the United States government interested in roping in Corgan's rock 'n roll influence for clandestine projects? Did Corgan actually narrowly avoid getting pulled into the orbit of a Satanic cult? We discuss all this and much more!

Hey there friends and weirdos! This week Nile takes on a dive back into exopolitics from the perspective of a Starseed prodigy named Elena Danaan. Who is Elena Danaan and how does her outstanding Starseed abilities and history play into the politics of the Galactic Federation? What makes her beautiful website so special? What are Elena's current beefs in the New Age industry? We discuss all this and much more!

Hey there friends and weirdos! This week we're ringing in the new year by getting back to our roots. So in this episode we looked at a number of classic UFO cases out of Indiana, hometown of It Gets Weird. We talk Indiana's involvement in the 1952 UFO flap, bizarre cones of darkness-lasers, and the good folks over at the Indiana chapter of the Mutual UFO Network. All this and much more!

Hey there friends and weirdos! This week we decided to close out 2025 with a noided documentary, "CIA Covert Experiments." Did intelligence agents dose an entire French town with hyper potent LSD, causing hundreds of unsuspecting townsfolk to hallucinate? What proof is there that the CIA would dose an entire town as an experiment? Who the hell is distributing this documentary? How does Nile feel after getting to peep the horror with Kyle? We discuss all this and much more!

Hey there friends and weirdos! This week we take a trip up north to learn about some legendary Canadian ghosts. Does the angry spirit of a beheaded nun roam the streets of Miramichi looking for her severed head? Does the spectral form of a handsome fancy boy stalk the Dungarvon River in New Brunswick, "whooping" loud as hell in a ghostly rage? We discuss all this and much more!

Hey there friends and weirdos! In this one, we conclude our three part series on the controversial Fortean writer Martin Cannon and his most well-known text, The Controllers. To close things out, we've got the theoretical military applications of Cannon's "human hypothesis" of UFO abductions and mind control. Can abductees become Manchurian candidates for clandestine ops? Can the military craft the perfect psychic soldier? Why was Cannon threatened by spooks after the publication of The Controllers? We discuss all this and much more!

Hey there friends and weirdos! This week we continue learning about Martin Cannon's book, The Controllers. Could an MKULTRA guinea pig be implanted with a device and become remotely hypnotized into believing they're being abducted by aliens? Is it even possible to commit "anti-social behavior" while under hypnosis? And to what end would somebody fake an alien abduction this way? We discuss all this and much more!

Hey there friends and weirdos! This week we begin our exploration of an infamous text in ufology: Martin Cannon's "The Controllers." We've talked a lot in the past about the extraterrestrial hypothesis of UFOs, but what about a human hypothesis? This is where Cannon's book comes in: a paranoid, human-centric view of the UFO questions, starting with "alien implants." What Earth forces could be putting implants inside of abductees, and how? We discuss all this and much more!

Hey there friends and weirdos! This week we have the...purr-fect (ugh, UGH) alien primer episode for you: Feline Aliens, aka Lyrans. Is there a race of anthropomorphic cat-people living out there in the stars? Were all cats on Earth planted there by ancient aliens? Who are the crazy alien cat people compiling everything we know about this noble extraterrestrial race? We discuss all this and much more!

Hey there friends and weirdos! This week we add a little entomology creamer into our New Age spiritual enlightenment coffee with the tale of...the Butterfly People. When a massive crop circle depicting the Vitruvian Man as a Butterfly Man pops up in the Netherlands, skeptics and believers alike are baffled. Was this design man-made, as the lying media would like to suggest? Or is it alien, perhaps even cosmic, in its design? We tie this event into a bizarre phenomenon that would occur only a few years later: the Butterfly People of Joplin. All this and much more!

Hey there friends and weirdos! This week Jules is back with the Weird Crew to discuss Kyle's birthplace...the terrifying city of Cleveland, Ohio! Does a vile vortex of paranormal activity lie at the center of Franklin Castle? Did its original owner secretly live a double life as a deranged killer? Or perhaps the mansion itself is cursed? We discuss all this and much more!

Get inside. Lock the door. They know that you know. And they're coming for you.

Hey there friends and weirdos! This week's episode is mostly focused on an alien encounter known as the Sagrada Família case. A group of children find themselves face-to-face with unearthly one-eyed men who descended from a spaceship. Why did these humanoid, cyclopean extraterrestrials come to Earth? What exactly was their message to these children and what does it have to do with the moon? We also talk about the time 10,000 fútbol fans were witnesses to a flashy, unexplained UFO event. All this and much more!

Hey there friends and weirdos! This week we decided to do the oft-threatened mailbag episode. You sent us questions and stories and we responded! What's our Trigun fancasting? What do we know about the conspiracy connections to the GATE Program? What do we think is the least plausible cryptid? We even reserve a little time to extend our best wishes to all, even the "haters and losers" on this special mailbag episode of It Gets Weird. All this and much more! Thanks again to everyone for your submissions! 

Hey there all you lovely weirdos, its spooky season again and that means its times for frights and...familial trauma? This week, Jules and Nile decided to celebrate the season by watching Rob Zombie's divisive reboot of Halloween. We discuss what ol' Rob was trying to accomplish, the absolutely bugnuts dialog of this world, and whether or not this movie satisfies the needed elements of a good Halloween movie. Are we giving him too much credit for some choices? Are we too harsh about his pervert qualifications? Find out on this week's episode!

Hey there friends and weirdos! This week Jules joins the Weird Crew to revisit a topic from the early days of It Gets Weird: Hollow Earth. Specifically, we learn about the Agarthans, the race of super-tall humanoids who live on the continent in the center of the hollow earth. We also learn about Hollow Earth disclosure, a relatively recent movement among Hollow Earth true believers. Did you know that Agartha has sent an ambassador to prepare us surface-dwellers for the Truth? We discuss all this and much more!
