Bedtime Stories

Story One – Phone Calls From The Dead

We have previously explored reports concerning the spirits of those who have passed on, but this week, we will be examining a phenomenon which is even more bewildering. Instances in which friends and relatives have received what should have otherwise been an impossible phone call from the dead.

Story Two – Renascence

There are numerous examples of famous and influential figures who claim to recall past lives. Such stories have often proven easy to refute, with suggestions that those involved are courting fame or controversy. But such tales prove more difficult to dismiss when the parties involved are small children, expressing thoughts and feelings too advanced for their years, almost as if they have been here before.

During the hot Kentucky summer of 1955, an entire family burst into a local police station, shouting in panic that their home had been attacked by aliens.

The officer on duty reacted with amusement but little did he know, that what he was now dealing with would become one of the most prolific and well documented cases of extraterrestrial visitation on record. 

As if this were not horrifying enough, roughly sixty years later further evidence would go on to be made public, which indicates that the alien life forms involved in that incident may have returned.

Story One – Tragedy in Death Valley

America’s Death Valley is aptly named, being the site of the highest ambient air temperature ever recorded on Earth. Over the centuries, this region has claimed the lives of countless travellers who were poorly prepared for the extreme dangers such an unforgiving environment presents. Join us as we examine one such tragic case.

Story Two – The Mystery of the Tatra Mountains

On a summer morning in 1925, a Polish family set out on a planned hike through one of the country’s picturesque mountainous regions.

Story One – The Mystery of the Midnight Rider

In this story, we examine one of the lesser known of America’s unsolved crimes. A series of murders which took place during the early 1900’s, perpetrated by an enigmatic and brutal killer. One who would become known over time as the Midnight Rider.

Story Two – The Misery of the Myrtles Plantation

Given their history, it is perhaps of little surprise that America’s Southern states are home to a wealth of allegedly haunted locations. In this story we examine one of the most infamous of these sites. A rural dwelling, which possesses a past saturated in sadness and tragedy. Join us as we examine the Misery of the Myrtles Plantation.

Story One – The Philadelphia Experiment

In this story, we explore one of the most notorious covert military projects of all time, involving an alleged attempt during World War II to make a naval vessel disappear from the visual plane. In the aftermath, it was soon discovered that the test had tragic consequences, leaving many of its crew in states of unimaginable insanity, catatonia and in some cases, far worse. Join us as we examine the infamous Philadelphia Experiment.

Story Two – The Montauk Project

The infamous Philadelphia Experiment allegedly succeeded in cloaking a naval warship from the visible plane, but at great personal cost to those involved. Stories persist that the events aboard the USS Eldridge formed the basis for yet further disturbing research on the part of the US military, a sinister scientific programme known as The Montauk Project.

Story One – Ghosts of the London Underground

The Underground has been at the centre of London’s transport infrastructure for a century and a half. During that time, it has played host to many historical events, from sheltering civilians in the second world war, to being a target of the 2005 London terrorist attacks. Many people have lost their lives in these tunnels. Could their restless souls remain as ghosts of the London Underground?

Story Two – Phantoms of Leap Castle

In previous episodes we have visited a number of locations where the manifestation of restless spirits seems to be inevitably tied to tragic events in the distant past. A medieval castle, which lies in the heart of rural Ireland, is apparently the scene of just such a phenomenon. Join us, as we uncover the phantoms of Leap Castle.

Story One – The Monster of Morbach

Throughout the summer of 1988, American military personnel stationed on the European mainland were ecstatic about the possibility of the Cold War coming to a close. But at one West German airbase, the conflict still had one last terrifying incident to inflict upon the hapless defenders.

Story Two – The Mad Gasser of Mattoon

As the Second World War raged back and forth across the front lines of far-flung lands, the residents of a small town in rural Illinois would find themselves fighting their own battle for survival against a sinister and mysterious enemy. Who was the Mad Gasser of Mattoon?

Story One – Mysteries of the Bennington Triangle

Tucked away near the borders of Vermont and Massachusetts is a small area of land believed to be the focal point for a wide variety of unexplained and mysterious phenomena. It is a place of outstanding natural beauty, but also one of great danger.

Story Two – Vanishings of the Great Lakes Triangle

The seas are a truly dangerous place, and sadly every year, it is inevitable that a small number of ships and aircraft are lost whilst traversing them. But there are certain areas of open water, that seem to claim more than their fair share of souls, providing no explanation for these disappearances.

Story One – The Village That Vanished

History is littered with instances in which large groups of people have disappeared under mysterious circumstances. In many of these cases, some form of explanation has eventually come to light. But for some, the facts are so inexplicable that no convincing hypothesis has ever been agreed upon. In this story, we examine just such an occurrence; the village that vanished.

Story Two – Who Was The Isdal Woman?

In the closing weeks of 1970, the badly burned remains of a dead female victim were discovered lying on the side of an isolated Norwegian valley. Her identity has continued to elude the authorities, right up to this very day. In this second story, we ask who was the Isdal woman?
