Ashes to Ashes

Dust to Dust, Weirdos!

Welcome back to KEEP IT WEIRD!! The podcast for all things strange, unusual, paranormal, supernatural, creepy, gross, scary, sticky and everything in between!

Everytime we get together we chat about something WEIRD and this episode is no exception.  WE'RE BACK from a brief hiatus so dont mind us as we spend the first fifteen or so catching you up on life stuff but dont you worry we make our way to the strange quickly as Lauren brings us into a WHERE IN THE WORLD (is Keep It Weird Going?) and we travel (astrally) to NORWAY!

Ålen, Norway to be exact in a 15 mile valley known as Hessdalen where for almost an entire century very strange lights have been appearing in the sky.  No matter the weather, regardless of day or night these lights show up in bright whites, yellows and reds - sometimes for over an hour!  Sometimes they streak through the sky, other times they sway slowly back and forth.  But what the h e double hockey sticks are they?!  UFOs?!  Plasma?  Ball lightning?  A natural phenomenon we literally don't know about yet?!  We break down the scientific discoveries that we DO know along with all the questions we still have about the HESSDALEN LIGHTS.

Then Ashley takes a different look at the sky in an ITS THE END OF THE WORLD AS WE KNOW IT!   Something is headed our way and its massive.  3i/Atlas is the third interstellar object (that we have ever observed) to pass through our solar system and it's en route as we speak!  Most experts believe it's a comet, although some are more skeptical of it's behavior.  But that's not why we're here-- we're here to talk about what some OTHER folks believe this object to be.  Something called the BLUE STAR KACHINA aka SAQUASOHUH- an apocalyptic prophecy from North America's own Hopi Native Tribes.  This bright blue star is said to come from far away and crash into our skies in the "Day of Purification" and is described as a "world engulfing cataclysm" that will end life as we know it for everyone who isn't truly Hopi.

The only problem is that the legend didn't actually come from Hopi legends and it was written by a white man in the 60s.  OOPS!! Ah well, we'll get em' next time boys.

Lauren finishes off the show with a mini segment called TIK TOKS THAT BRING ME JOY where she introduces us to three different content creators that have helped her get through the last month or so we've been away.
