House of Weird

This week we investigate The Philadelphia Experiment, one of the most infamous WWII conspiracy theories involving the USS Eldridge, alleged electromagnetic invisibility testing, teleportation claims, and stories of sailors fused into steel during a secret U.S. Navy experiment.

The legend says that in October 1943, the U.S. military attempted a radar invisibility experiment at the Philadelphia Naval Shipyard using powerful electromagnetic fields. What supposedly followed was a green fog, a vanishing warship, spontaneous teleportation to Norfolk, Virginia, and horrific side effects including crew members embedded in the hull and men phasing in and out of reality.

We break down the full conspiracy theory — including Einstein’s Unified Field Theory rumours, Project Rainbow, time travel extensions, and the later Montauk Project connections — before examining the real historical context of wartime degaussing experiments, electromagnetic field research, and the documented USS Eldridge service records.

Was the Philadelphia Experiment a classified military disaster? A Cold War myth built on misunderstood naval technology? Or the foundation of modern UFO and government cover-up culture?

We lean hard into the madness first — then dissect the facts.

Also, fittingly, this episode experienced some minor technical interference during recording. We’re sure it’s unrelated to experimental 1940s electromagnetic fields. Probably.

If you’re into military conspiracy theories, secret government experiments, time travel myths, WWII mysteries, suppressed physics, UFO lore, and the darker side of classified research, you’re in the right place.

After a brief detour into whatever nonsense we were talking about last episode, we’re back with one of the most genuinely unsettling neurological conditions on record: Alien Hand Syndrome — a real, documented disorder where a person’s hand appears to act independently of their conscious intent.

 

We dig into what Alien Hand Syndrome actually is, how it’s most commonly associated with split-brain surgery and severe epilepsy treatment, and why it’s so disturbing on a fundamental level. When a part of your own body moves without permission — sometimes actively interfering with what you’re trying to do — it raises uncomfortable questions about free will, control, and whether the idea of a single, unified “self” is mostly just a polite fiction.

 

It’s one of those rare topics that’s scientifically real but feels paranormal, sitting right on the edge between neurology and existential horror. No ghosts, no demons — just the terrifying possibility that parts of your brain don’t always report to you.

 

Along the way, we also talk about:

– Hands that steal objects, undo buttons, or sabotage their owners

– Why “that wasn’t me” might sometimes be literally true

– What Alien Hand Syndrome suggests about consciousness and identity

– And how close this gets to body-horror without needing anything supernatural

 

If you like strange medical conditions, neurological weirdness, consciousness gone wrong, accidental philosophy, and two idiots grappling with ideas that feel far too big for a podcast, you’re in the right place.

Is the world being slowly prepared for a fake alien invasion?

 

In this episode of House of Weird, we dig into Project Blue Beam — one of the strangest, longest-running conspiracy theories in modern paranormal culture. First emerging in the 1990s, the theory claims that global powers are laying the groundwork for a staged extraterrestrial event designed to reshape religion, politics, and public obedience on a planetary scale.

 

We unpack where the theory came from, what it actually claims, and why it refuses to die — especially now, in an era of drone swarms, official UFO hearings, space objects with unclear origins, and governments openly admitting that they don’t always know what’s in the sky.

 

Along the way, we look at real-world events that Blue Beam believers point to as evidence: large-scale unexplained aerial activity, sudden shifts in official language around UFOs and UAPs, and the growing normalization of uncertainty in public discourse. None of these prove the theory — but they help explain why it continues to feel unsettlingly plausible to some.

 

We also examine the psychological mechanics behind the idea: why spectacle works, why ambiguity creates anxiety, and why conspiracies that promise a single, terrifying “reveal” are so appealing in chaotic times.

 

Is Project Blue Beam a genuine warning about mass psychological manipulation? A Frankenstein’s monster of older Cold War fears and modern tech anxiety? Or just another conspiracy that says more about us than any secret cabal?

 

We don’t claim to have the answer — but we do pull the whole thing apart and see what’s actually inside.

 

If you’re into UFO conspiracies, secret government projects, fake invasions, psyops, mass hysteria, and the fine line between scepticism and paranoia, this one’s for you.

This week we’re heading to Northumberland for one of the strangest cases in British paranormal history: The Hexham Heads — two tiny stone carvings dug up in a backyard that somehow triggered poltergeist activity, psychic fallout, and a werewolf-shaped visitor who wandered into people’s bedrooms like he owned the place.

 

We break down the full timeline: the boys finding the heads in their garden, the chaos that followed in the Robson household, and the bizarre escalation next door when a neighbour woke to find a tall, wolf-man figure quietly standing in her doorway. And if that’s not enough, we get into the Dr Anne Ross encounter, when the creature showed up in an academic’s house like it was completing a tour.

There’s folklore, archaeology, curses, lycanthropy, and of course the usual moments where Simon says something that makes us both wonder how close we are to being banned from polite society.

 

We get into:

• The discovery of the Heads

• The poltergeist activity that kicked off almost immediately

• The wolf-man sightings linked directly to the artefacts

• Whether these things were ancient relics or just cursed garden ornaments

• Why academics, Forteans, and bored British teenagers all insist the Heads are 100% real and 100% bad news

 

If you like cryptids, curses, archaeological weirdness, or stories where a paranormal entity just walks straight into your house without knocking, this one is absolutely your jam.

Hexham Heads, Hexham Wolf, UK paranormal case, British cryptids, cursed objects, poltergeist activity, Dr Anne Ross, werewolf sightings, Northumberland folklore, Fortean mysteries.

This week on House of Weird, we’re diving into one of the creepiest corners of paranormal lore: astral home invasions — the phenomenon where people claim something enters their home, bedroom, or even their body… without ever opening a door.

 

We break down what an “astral intruder” supposedly is, why these attacks tend to happen at night, and why so many cases involve the same chilling details: the pressure on the chest, the paralysis, the sense of being watched from inside your own skull. Think sleep paralysis — but with the victims insisting it wasn’t a dream, and something actively fought back when they resisted.

 

We go deep into three of the most unsettling real-world reports:

• The Melbourne Encounter (2011) — A man wakes to find a faceless human shape standing at the end of his bed. It moves wrong. It folds itself into the floor. And by the time he can move, the house smells like burnt metal.

• The Alberta Case (2017) — A woman claims a smoky, humanoid form pushed itself through her bedroom wall and tried to “climb inside her chest,” leaving bruising on her sternum the next morning.

• The London Flat Incident (1994) — A university student reports waking to see a tall, shadow-thin figure crouched over her face. It whispered in a voice that sounded like her own. She moved apartments three days later.

 

We talk about the theories, from astral projection gone wrong to parasite-entities feeding on fear, to whether these things are actually part of us — the leftover junk data of a brain glitching between states of consciousness.

 

Expect tangents, expect fear, and expect Simon to accidentally reveal at least one opinion he definitely shouldn’t have about the supernatural, the spiritual, or women in STEM. We rein him in. Mostly.

 

If you like night hag stories, shadow people lore, psychic warfare, or anything in the “this ruined my sleep schedule” category, you’re in the right place.

This week on House of Weird, we plunge headfirst into one of the strangest UFO religions on Earth: the Raëlian Movement — the group that believes humanity was genetically engineered by extraterrestrials called the Elohim, that Jesus was cloned in a lab, and that the aliens want us to build them a luxury Elohim Embassy so they can come back.

 

We get into Raël’s original UFO encounter, his tour of the alien ship, the whole “prophet clone reunion”, and yes — the part everyone secretly wants to hear: the Raëlian obsession with sexual liberation, sensual meditation, and cosmic-level free love.

Turns out when your creators are hyper-advanced bioengineers, they also have… opinions on human pleasure.

 

We break down:

• the Raëlian belief in sex as a form of spiritual expression

• the “erotic meditation” techniques they teach

• how this ties into their cloning and immortality doctrine

• the alien spaceship encounter where Raël claims he met Jesus, Buddha, and Mohammed in some kind of intergalactic wellness retreat

• plus the surprisingly serious architectural plans for their extraterrestrial embassy

 

Along the way we get distracted by interior design choices, interplanetary diplomacy, and which one of us would accidentally violate alien sexual etiquette and doom humanity.

 

If you’re into UFO religions, cult lore, alien contactee stories, cosmic libido theories, or just want to hear two idiots unravel a belief system held together entirely by confidence and circular floorplans — this is your episode.

This week on House of Weird, the lads tackle a chaotic mix of mysteries, legends, and general nonsense. We kick off with the Great Emu War (Australia’s most embarrassing military defeat), before diving into The Vertical Plane, reincarnation stories that refuse to stay buried, the mysterious man from Taured, uncanny time slips, and the eternally cursed Dybbuk Box.

Simon once again demonstrates his unique approach to both history and basic morality, while Andrew attempts the impossible — keeping the episode factually intact and socially acceptable. Between the dodgy theories, derailed tangents, and accidental insight, it’s a miracle this show ever makes it to air.

If you like your paranormal stories unpredictable, your science dubious, and your hosts profoundly unsupervised, this one’s for you.

He called himself The Great Beast 666, claimed to summon demons in the desert, and offered to psychically fight Hitler for the British government. It’s House of Weird’s deep dive into the life and chaos of Aleister Crowley — the poet, magician, pervert, and self-declared prophet who may or may not have started modern occultism by accident.

 

This week, Andrew and Simon explore the bizarre career of the “Wickedest Man in the World” — from Victorian England to the sands of Algeria, from sex magick to Nazi mystics — and somehow still find time for inappropriate tangents, mystical euphemisms, and at least one unwise attempt to explain Thelema after a beer.

 

If you like your history occult, horny, and slightly confusing, you’ve come to the right podcast.
