The Hard Stand Monster 08/15/2026

The Hard Stand Monster Following the end of the Cold War, numerous incidents once buried within classified military records have gradually entered the public domain, some of which continue to defy explanation. These include disturbing accounts of soldiers confronted by bizarre and seemingly hostile entities, whose appearance bore little resemblance to anything recognisably human. Alongside our sister channel and podcast, Wartime Stories, we have already explored several such encounters. In this episode, we turn our attention to a /episode/index/show/749347d8-9aa3-4e4d-a6be-5bb23d48417f/id/42500755

The Zanfretta Abductions 08/06/2026

The Zanfretta Abductions In December of 1978, an Italian security guard was discovered by his colleagues in a visibly distressed and emotional state, claiming that he had been abducted by extra-terrestrial beings. Those who rushed to his aid that day could have had no inkling that this extraordinary incident would prove to be only the beginning. Over the years that followed, he would allege that he had been taken against his will on numerous further occasions, each encounter seemingly stranger than the last. More remarkably still, /episode/index/show/749347d8-9aa3-4e4d-a6be-5bb23d48417f/id/42500760

Slain by Sasquatch 07/30/2026

Slain by Sasquatch The Missing 411 phenomenon centres upon a series of unexplained deaths and disappearances that have occurred within the boundaries of America's National Parks. Those who study these cases have proposed a number of possible explanations. Yet no single theory is capable of accounting for every incident. There is, however, a small group of cases that some believe may point towards one particular culprit. In this episode, we will be exploring several disappearances in which it has been suggested that the victim /episode/index/show/749347d8-9aa3-4e4d-a6be-5bb23d48417f/id/42500765

The Sullivan County Hauntings 07/18/2026

The Sullivan County Hauntings In previous episodes, we have explored a number of locations across the globe where reports of seemingly paranormal activity have emerged with unusual frequency. Amongst the most disturbing have been those associated with enclosed tunnel systems, including the Hoosac Railway Works and the London Underground. In this episode, we turn our attention to another pair of tunnels, where a succession of bizarre and inexplicable incidents gave rise to what are now known as the Sullivan County Hauntings.

Monsters of the Old West 07/08/2026

Monsters of the Old West Over the years, we have travelled to many places said to harbour an unusually high number of strange and unexplained events. Locations where multiple witnesses claim to have encountered bizarre phenomena, often under circumstances that continue to defy explanation to this day. In this episode, however, our journey takes us not simply to another place, but to another time. To an age of cattle drives, frontier settlements, and dusty trails disappearing into the horizon. An era of cowboys, outlaws, and prospec /episode/index/show/749347d8-9aa3-4e4d-a6be-5bb23d48417f/id/42500780

The Kinnula Entity 06/24/2026

The Kinnula Entity Despite being a nation steeped in folklore and legend, Finland possesses surprisingly few modern accounts of the mysterious or paranormal. Yet during the early 1970s, the Nordic country became the setting for a series of bizarre UFO encounters that would leave a lasting impression upon those involved. The most disturbing of these incidents centred upon a strange humanoid figure reportedly seen in the forests of central Finland; a being that would later become known as the Kinnula Entity.

Bedtime Stories Interview 06/17/2026

Bedtime Stories Interview In this special episode, Bedtime Stories narrator Richard While sits down with T.G. Campbell of The Bow Street Society for an in-depth conversation covering a wide range of topics related to the paranormal, unexplained phenomena, and the creation of the channel itself. During the interview, Rich discusses several of his own personal experiences, the cases that have fascinated him most over the years, and the mysteries that continue to defy explanation. The conversation also explores the origins of Bedtime /episode/index/show/749347d8-9aa3-4e4d-a6be-5bb23d48417f/id/42500790

Lair of the Leviathan 06/03/2026

Lair of the Leviathan Stories of monsters lurking within the world's oceans are nothing new, having persisted in folklore and maritime tradition for centuries. In previous episodes, including our sister series Wartime Stories, we have examined some of the most notorious examples. Yet despite centuries of exploration, the deep remains one of the least understood environments on Earth. Vast stretches of the ocean floor have never been seen by human eyes. Perhaps it should come as no surprise, then, that some still believe unimagin /episode/index/show/749347d8-9aa3-4e4d-a6be-5bb23d48417f/id/42500795

The Wednesday Strangler 05/27/2026

The Wednesday Strangler In previous episodes, we have explored cases in which alleged serial killers were never identified, nor convicted of the horrific crimes they were believed to have committed. The same would prove true in the case of a modern-day murderer thought to have been responsible for the deaths of at least seven female victims in rural Japan. A killer whose disturbing and highly distinctive methods would ultimately earn him the chilling nickname, ‘The Wednesday Strangler’.

The Pecos Triangle 05/13/2026

The Pecos Triangle The North American continent is vast and often unforgiving, containing countless remote regions where visitors can all too easily come to harm. One such place lies deep within the American state of New Mexico, in a sprawling belt of wilderness situated between two immense national forests. It is a lonely and isolated landscape, harsh in both climate and terrain, where numerous people have disappeared under mysterious circumstances over the years. Many were never seen again, their souls long gone by now, but /episode/index/show/749347d8-9aa3-4e4d-a6be-5bb23d48417f/id/42500805

The Ilkley Moor Alien 05/06/2026

The Ilkley Moor Alien On the morning of 1st December 1987, a man walking alone across Ilkley Moor in Yorkshire claimed to encounter something he could not explain. Through the mist and silence of the moor, he reported seeing a strange, humanoid figure watching him from a distance. Acting on instinct, he raised his camera and captured a single photograph of the being before it vanished from sight. The image he produced would go on to spark decades of debate, drawing both curiosity and scepticism in equal measure.

The Mandela Effect 04/29/2026

The Mandela Effect Is the very essence of our reality shifting in ways we cannot comprehend? Are there subtle forces at work, altering events, memories, and the world around us without our awareness? Have you ever noticed details that seem familiar but different, moments you are certain happened one way, yet records say otherwise? Could something be quietly influencing the past, or is it a collective trick of perception? Perhaps these strange occurrences are not random at all, but part of a pattern that hints at a deeper myst /episode/index/show/749347d8-9aa3-4e4d-a6be-5bb23d48417f/id/42500815

The Horror of Alcatraz 04/22/2026

The Horror of Alcatraz America’s turbulent past has left behind countless locations said to be haunted by those who lost their lives there. From the victims of catastrophic disasters and fatal accidents, to soldiers and civilians killed in times of war, and those who fell prey to notorious murderers, the country’s history is steeped in tragedy. Yet it is often the places where such killers were ultimately confined that have given rise to some of the most disturbing accounts of all. Amongst them is the story we will be examini /episode/index/show/749347d8-9aa3-4e4d-a6be-5bb23d48417f/id/42500825

Hinterkaifeck 03/25/2026

Hinterkaifeck In 1922, six people were brutally murdered at a remote German farmstead, their bodies discovered in bloodied bedclothes after suffering repeated blows to the head. The isolated nature of the property only deepened the mystery, leaving investigators struggling to determine who could have carried out such a savage attack. Was it the work of a deranged killer, an escalating family feud that turned deadly, or something more calculated, perhaps even politically motivated?

The Star People 03/18/2026

The Star People There have been countless reports of alleged encounters with extraterrestrial beings over the years. Most involve a single witness describing a strange sighting that lasted only a few fleeting moments before disappearing again. But the cases that attract the greatest attention are those in which multiple people, often unknown to one another, come forward with accounts that appear to describe the same phenomenon. Separate incidents unfolding across different locations, yet connected by a series of striking s /episode/index/show/749347d8-9aa3-4e4d-a6be-5bb23d48417f/id/42500835

The Wraith of Trench Pool 03/11/2026

The Wraith of Trench Pool Whilst cycling to work in the early hours of the morning, a young man found himself confronted by a chilling apparition near the dark waters of Trench Pool. What began as a single terrifying encounter soon escalated into something far more disturbing, as the figure continued to stalk him for weeks afterwards; a haunting presence he would come to know as The Wraith of Trench Pool.

Enemy Unexplained 03/04/2026

Enemy Unexplained The Vietnam War was a conflict defined by brutality and uncertainty. Dense jungle concealed ambushes, artillery shattered the night, and young soldiers were forced to fight an enemy they could rarely see. It was a war of exhaustion, paranoia and relentless fear. Yet for some who served there, the Viet Cong were not the only threat moving through the trees. In whispered accounts that surfaced years later, they spoke of another presence in those jungles; an enemy unexplained.

The Darkness of Delamere 02/25/2026

The Darkness of Delamere We have previously examined three forested regions of the United Kingdom, each of which has become a focal point for reports of high strangeness. Cannock Chase brought with it accounts of shadowed figures, cryptids and unexplained encounters. Clapham Wood revealed whispers of spectral entities and deeply unsettling phenomena. Pembrey Forest, outwardly quiet and unassuming, carried its own catalogue of strange sights and unnerving experiences. Now, we turn to another woodland.

The Iceman's Curse 02/11/2026

The Iceman's Curse Throughout history, there are countless examples of places or objects said to bring suffering to those connected with them, earning a reputation for being cursed. In earlier episodes, we have explored several of these stories, from infamously unlucky motor vehicles to the final resting place of a convicted murderer. In this episode, we turn our attention to the preserved remains of an Ice Age hunter, a body some believe is linked to a series of unexplained deaths. Together, these events have come to be know /episode/index/show/749347d8-9aa3-4e4d-a6be-5bb23d48417f/id/42500855

The Watchers of Alor Island 02/04/2026

The Watchers of Alor Island Some places sit quietly on the map, rarely drawing attention beyond those who live nearby. Others become known not for what happens there once, but for what keeps happening again and again; events that resist explanation, leave no clear record, and blur the line between history and testimony. In the mid twentieth century, a remote corner of Indonesia became the focus of a series of accounts that defied easy categorisation. Fishermen, villagers, and visiting outsiders all described encounters that did not fi /episode/index/show/749347d8-9aa3-4e4d-a6be-5bb23d48417f/id/42500860

The Disappearance of Timothy Braddy He set off expecting nothing more than a long drive. A journey from Oregon to Florida, planned, ordinary, and uneventful. Somewhere along the way, however, Timothy Braddy disappeared. His truck would later be found parked beside a high school, undamaged and unlocked, as though he had stepped away briefly and never returned. There were no signs of violence, no clear reason for him to stop, and no trace of where he went next. What followed was not clarity, but silence. And with it, a question that still has n /episode/index/show/749347d8-9aa3-4e4d-a6be-5bb23d48417f/id/42500865

The Billy Brown Encounter 01/21/2026

The Billy Brown Encounter In late 2021, an ordinary man from the north of England reported two encounters that would alter the course of his life. The first took place in the early hours of the morning and left him questioning the nature of consciousness itself. The second occurred months later. Between those two events lay a period of illness so severe that doctors could not explain how he survived it at all. Whether these experiences were connected remains uncertain. But taken together, they form a deeply unsettling account of con /episode/index/show/749347d8-9aa3-4e4d-a6be-5bb23d48417f/id/42500880

The Evil Within When a thirteen-year-old boy growing up on a remote farm in Mexico takes part in what he believes is nothing more than a harmless game, he has no way of knowing what he is about to invite into his life. What begins as curiosity soon gives way to fear, as subtle changes take hold and the atmosphere within the household begins to shift. Over the following months, the boy’s family becomes convinced that something unnatural has attached itself to him, something that refuses to leave quietly. What follows is a /episode/index/show/749347d8-9aa3-4e4d-a6be-5bb23d48417f/id/42500900

The Man Out of Time 12/24/2025

The Man Out of Time Most of us move through time without ever noticing it. Seconds pass, days accumulate, years slip quietly behind us. But on rare occasions, something appears to go wrong. A person finds themselves somewhere they do not belong, surrounded by a world that feels unfamiliar, faster, louder, and strangely hostile. In the winter of 1951, in the heart of New York City, witnesses reported seeing a man step into existence where no man had stood a moment before. Within minutes he was dead, but when investigators searc /episode/index/show/749347d8-9aa3-4e4d-a6be-5bb23d48417f/id/42500915

The Disappearance of Kenny Veach 12/17/2025

The Disappearance of Kenny Veach In the great deserts of the American Southwest, people vanish with unsettling regularity. Some leave behind traces that hint at what happened. Others seem to step out of the world entirely, swallowed by a landscape vast enough to hide anything and quiet enough that no one hears it happen. But every so often, a disappearance leaves behind more questions than answers. A hiker known for pushing his limits. A cave he insisted held something unusual.

Return of the Skinwalker 12/10/2025

Return of the Skinwalker In a previous episode, we explored several disturbing encounters involving a creature long feared within Navajo tradition; an entity said to move with unnatural speed, mimic familiar voices, and stalk the lonely highways of the American Southwest. Those stories were unsettling enough, yet they represent only a fraction of the reports that continue to emerge. In this episode, we return to the shadows once more, to examine a new collection of chilling encounters that are every bit as harrowing as the first. /episode/index/show/749347d8-9aa3-4e4d-a6be-5bb23d48417f/id/42500950

The Nightmare 12/03/2025

The Nightmare During the late 1970s, a fully laden DC-10 passenger jet crashed shortly after take-off, killing everyone on board. The disaster shocked the nation, prompting investigations, headlines, and a long search for answers. Yet in the days leading up to the tragedy, something quietly unsettling had been unfolding elsewhere. One man, living hundreds of miles away and with no connection to the flight, began experiencing a series of vivid, disturbing dreams.

Along Came a Spyder In 1955, a small silver sports car rolled out of a California garage and into American folklore. It was sleek, fast, and dangerous. A machine built for the racetrack. But within weeks, its young owner would be dead, and the car itself would become infamous. What followed were decades of bizarre accidents, unexplained fatalities, and eerie coincidences, all linked to the same deadly machine. Some now claim the car was cursed. Others insist the stories are nothing more than myth. In this episode, we examine t /episode/index/show/749347d8-9aa3-4e4d-a6be-5bb23d48417f/id/42500960
