Story One – Ghosts of Flight 401

During previous episodes, we have explored several tales involving vehicles which have become closely associated with the paranormal. In this story we will finally be adding an aircraft to the list of allegedly haunted transports as we retell the story of the Ghosts of Flight 401.

Story Two – The Curse of Clapham Woods

Previously, we have explored numerous instances of supernatural activity witnessed at Cannock Chase in Staffordshire, many of which are directly connected to Castle Ring, the remnants of an Iron Age fort at the heart of that region. This week, we journey to another such site, located 200 miles away in southeast England, known for similar disturbing occurrences. Join us as we delve into the Curse of Clapham Wood.

Bedtime Stories - The Sudbrink Phone Calls
play

01/22/25 • 49 min

Smartphones and texting have caused many of us to forget that until the early 2000s, complete strangers could call you at any time, for any reason. And if they said the right things to keep you from hanging up, you could find yourself subjected to all manner of psychological manipulation. This tale is one in which several calls are featured, but – in reality – they are just one part of a much larger story. And try as they might, nobody has ever found a suitable explanation for the bizarre events surrounding the Sudbrink Phone Calls.

Bedtime Stories - The Dyatlov Pass Incident – The Theories
play

10/31/24 • 49 min

Part Three

What started out as a search and rescue effort soon turned into a serious investigation into the tragic and untimely deaths of nine young souls. There were many aspects of the case which were highly mysterious and seemed to suggest some sort of foul play. But by who? Or what? In the concluding part of our Dyatlov Pass series, we examine the theories surrounding what happened on that fateful night back in February of 1959 - theories which range from the mundane to the truly extreme.

Part One - Foreboding

David Paulides, an ex-police office turned author believes something strange is going on in and around North American national parks, where hundreds of people go missing each year. He refers to this phenomenon as the missing 411. However, over the course of this episode, we will be examining a cross-section of his research which receives perhaps the least publicity and analysis, those of the near missing 411.

Part Two – Missing Time

In part one, we recounted several alleged eyewitness accounts from survivors of strange occurrences, which might otherwise have ensured their disappearance and/or demise. And whilst those accounts were certainly bizarre, each one was very different, with no single phenomenon to pinpoint exactly what is going on in North America’s national parks. In part two, we recount three more strange tales of the near missing 411.

Story One – Who Killed Cindy James?

On a warm Vancouver day in June 1989, the bound and bruised body of a woman was found in the yard of an abandoned house. Police quickly determined that she had committed suicide, but her six-year history of receiving threatening phone calls and being the victim of abusive stalking leaves us asking: who killed Cindy James?

Story Two – The Body in Boiler Stack Nine

As it becomes more difficult for us to make our way through life without leaving behind a trail of physical and digital footprints, it has in turn become far easier for law enforcement agencies to trace the victims of fatal crimes. And yet, instances persist where human remains are discovered, which are frustratingly never identified. In this story, we examine just such an instance; that of the body found in boiler stack nine.

Story One – The Monkey Man of Delhi

Urban legends exist around the world. Mostly, they keep us from parking in dark places at night, or from talking to creepy kids with dark-coloured eyes. But what happens when an urban legend goes viral, causing so much panic that people begin to die because of it? That’s precisely what happened in India in 2001, when residents reported some 350 terrifying encounters with what would eventually become known as the Monkey Man of Delhi.

Story Two – The Dread of the Djinn

Many ancient texts speak of supernatural beings representing the forces of good and evil. However, not all of these entities fit quite so neatly into such categories. For centuries, people in the Arabic world have spoken of creatures who bring fortune and pain in equal measure. But despite the age of these legends, recent reports from the Near East seem to indicate that even our modern world is subject to the dread of the Djinn.

Story One – The Mysterious Disappearance of Flight 19

In December 1945, five torpedo bombers on a routine patrol over the Bahamas vanished without trace. It was an incident that would kickstart the notoriety surrounding the infamous Bermuda Triangle and even now, more than 70 years later, we are still questioning what caused the mysterious disappearance of Flight 19.

Story Two – The Disappearance of Flight MH370

In January 2017, authorities solemnly called an end to the global effort which had occupied the minds and the prayers of millions for the past three years. Over 120 thousand square kilometres of Indian ocean had been combed around the clock with cutting- edge technology, but despite all this effort, we're still no closer to solving the disappearance of flight MH370.

Story One – The Smiley Face Killers

For the last quarter of a century, the bodies of fit and healthy young men have been recovered from the waterways which crisscross the US. Whilst their deaths were ruled accidental by the authorities, a small group of retired detectives believe that they were instead the victims of an organised group of murderers. Who are the Smiley Face Killers?

Story Two – Death in Gorda Springs

During the Autumn of 2003, staff at a holiday resort in California contacted the police to report having discovered the bodies of two of their guests. Uncomfortable questions still remain over the exact circumstances surrounding this tragic incident. Join us, as we investigate death in Gorda Springs.

Story One – The San Pedro Haunting

During the summer of 1988, a young mother residing in an unassuming Los Angeles neighbourhood reported having been subjected to a horrifying and relentless series of attacks within her home. She claimed that these assaults had been carried out by a mysterious supernatural entity, but just how much truth is there behind the San Pedro Haunting?

Story Two – Doppelgängers and the Strange Case of Emilie Sagée

In 1845, a school in Latvia became the scene of some disturbing paranormal activity as a newly employed teacher began to appear in two places at the same time. We now recount the strange tale of Emilie Sagée. And ask the question; could we all have a doppelganger?
