In this episode, Nile tells Kyle all about a pious man known as Dr. Barry Downing! Dr. Downing is a religious man who has written a number of texts, but he's most famous for his belief that most events in the bible can be explained away...as aliens.

It Gets WeirdEpisode 149 - Activation Process (Starseed)Hello weirdos and welcome back! On this episode, Nile introduces Kyle to the idea of "starseeds." Is the human race truly descended from extraterrestrials, as Ancient Aliens star Giorgio Tsoukalos posits? Is it more of a spiritual thing? Hard to say, but we now know the process with which we can find out, and that is the Buzzfeed "Are You A Loner?" quiz.

It Gets WeirdEpisode 131 - Pitchforks and Forks (Anneliese Exorcism)Welcome back to It Gets Weird! This week, Nile tells Kyle about one of the most infamous exorcism cases of all time: the exorcism of Anneliese Michel. Nile tells Kyle all about the devils inside of poor Anneliese, one of whom may or may not have been Hitler. Yes, the Adolf Hitler.

It Gets WeirdEpisode 128 - The Butterfly Man (Tunguska Event)To end the year right, Kyle came back to illuminate Nile on the Tunguska Event. For the uninitiated, the Tunguska Event was a massive unexplained explosion in Siberia that puts your favorite explosions to shame.
