Triangles
35m · PublishedStory 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.

Ipsum Arcanum
35m · PublishedStory 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?

Clearview
28m · PublishedDuring our previous episode, we examined a series of strange incidents, which are believed to have taken place at an isolated cattle ranch, located in Eastern Colorado. But as inexplicable and fantastic as those occurrences may have been, they are in some ways eclipsed by a somewhat unrelated series of events, which are alleged to have transpired on another property. A rural homestead, which would come to be known as Clearview.

Final Flight
36m · PublishedStory One – The Peculiar Death of Peter Gibbs
In December 1975, a light aircraft took off from a hotel in the west of Scotland, on a recreational flight. It did not return, and when evidence was eventually uncovered about the loss of both the plane and its pilot, there were more questions than answers. This week, we try to unravel the complexities surrounding the peculiar death of Peter Gibbs.
Story Two – The Plane in the Forest
In this story, we will be returning to Soviet-era Russia, in order to delve deeper into a mysterious and perplexing incident. That of a Cold War incident, which allegedly resulted in the loss of a number of Soviet soldiers. A mystery known in smaller circles simply as, the Plane in the Forest.

Myths and Legends
37m · PublishedStory One – America’s Vampires
Over the decades, successive literary and cinematic offerings have gradually bastardised the original interpretation of the vampire from that of a terrifying and murderous monster, into a somewhat romanticised and almost comedic caricature. But the reality behind the concept of vampirism is far removed from the fantasy, borne out of a flurry of brutal and truly horrifying murders. In this story, we meet America’s Vampires.
Story Two – The Scourge of the Skinwalker
For centuries, the most southerly regions of the United States have been plagued by stories of strange beings that travel under the cover of darkness, attacking any human beings they encounter without fear or remorse. In our second story, we explore the Scourge of the Skinwalker.

There is Something in the Void
34m · PublishedStory One – We Never Went Back
It has been nearly fifty years since the last human being set foot upon the lunar surface. Were budget constraints really the driving force behind this decision? Or was it something far more sinister? If the accounts of certain whistleblowers are to be believed, then it might just be that there is something on the moon.
Story Two – The Strange Fate of Phobos II
For centuries, humanity has obsessed about the existence of intelligent beings residing upon the seemingly lifeless surface of Mars. Towards the end of the 1980’s, there is evidence that Russia may have been the nation to come closest to proving the existence of such beings. In this story, we examine the strange fate of Phobos II.

Nightshift
37m · PublishedAs one might expect, most paranormal or supernatural encounters occur in the hours of darkness. What is it about the night that seems to manifest these experiences? Is it our own feelings of vulnerability and isolation? Or is it something more profound? This week, we hear accounts from those who work on the dreaded nightshift.

The Alien South
35m · PublishedStory One – The Alabama Metal Man
When reviewing reports of supposed encounters with strange entities, it’s easy to be sceptical. However, the situation becomes more challenging when crucial witnesses can present seemingly compelling physical evidence to substantiate their claims. Such was the case in an incident, which occurred in the southern United States during the early 1970s, an alleged encounter with a mysterious figure known as the Alabama Metal Man.
Story Two – The Pascagoula Incident
In this story, we visit one of the most high-profile alien abduction stories ever to have been made public. We will examine the astounding testimony of those involved, as well as independent evidence which has surfaced in the years since, which seems to support their claims. Join us, as we delve into the disturbing circumstances of the Pascagoula Incident.
