    The Christmas Eve Flight That Ended in Mystery – Mull, 1975

    On a cold Christmas Eve in 1975, experienced pilot and former RAF serviceman Peter Gibbs took off in a light aircraft from the Glenforsa Airfield on Scotland’s remote Isle of Mull. The runway was unlit, the skies dark, and no one expected him to fly but he insisted. Minutes later, he disappeared into the night. What followed is one of Britain’s most baffling aviation mysteries. Four months later, Peter’s body was discovered on a hillside that had already been searched, clean, untouched, and far from any crash site. A year after that, his aircraft was found submerged miles away in the sea… with no sign of how it got there. In this episode of Mysteries at Bedtime, we explore the strange disappearance and unexplained death of Peter Gibbs, a mystery that has puzzled investigators, spawned theories of foul play, disorientation, and even the paranormal, and continues to haunt the Isle of Mull nearly 50 years on.

    America’s Cold War Secret and the Mystery of the Missing Room

    Beneath the opulent halls of The Greenbrier Hotel in West Virginia lies one of America's best-kept Cold War secrets a massive underground fallout shelter built in the 1950s, known as Project Greek Island. For over 30 years, this covert government facility remained hidden in plain sight, ready to house every member of the U.S. Congress in the event of nuclear war. But when the existence of the bunker was exposed in the 1990s, questions began to surface—questions about areas of the complex not found on any blueprint. Whispers emerged of a missing room, sealed off behind reinforced walls, its purpose unknown. Was it simply an unfinished part of the project or something more sinister? From Cold War paranoia and government deception to the eerie silence surrounding what still lies locked underground, this episode of Mysteries at Bedtime explores the true story of The Greenbrier bunker… and the chilling rumours that refuse to be buried.

    The Dodleston Messages: Time Travel or Hoax? The BBC Micro Mystery

    In the quiet village of Dodleston, Cheshire, a bizarre and baffling mystery began unfolding in 1984. Ken Webster, a schoolteacher, was working on a BBC Micro computer when strange messages began to appear—written in an archaic form of English, and allegedly sent by someone living in the year 1541. The messages continued over the following months, becoming more elaborate and unnerving. Later, new messages arrived this time from someone claiming to live in the year 2109, warning of unseen forces manipulating time itself. Known today as the Dodleston Messages, this case remains one of the strangest examples of alleged time slip communication in modern paranormal lore. Was it an elaborate hoax, a psychological trick… or genuine contact across centuries? In this episode of Mysteries at Bedtime, we examine the digital trail, the witness accounts, and the unanswered questions behind one of Britain’s most haunting tech-era mysteries.

    The Disappearance of Granger Taylor: The Mechanic Who Spoke to Aliens

    On a stormy night in November 1980, 32-year-old Granger Taylor left a hand-written note for his family saying he was going on a journey “aboard an alien spaceship” and then vanished without a trace. A self-taught mechanical genius from Vancouver Island, Granger had spent years rebuilding old engines, trains, and even a World War II aircraft in his backyard. But in the months leading up to his disappearance, his obsession with space and extraterrestrial life took a strange and tragic turn. Decades later, pieces of his truck were found high in the forest near Mount Prevost, apparently destroyed by an explosion. But his body was never formally identified, and questions still swirl around whether Granger died that night or went somewhere else entirely. In this haunting episode of Mysteries at Bedtime, we explore the life and mind of Granger Taylor, the cultural impact of his disappearance, and the enduring theories: Was it suicide? A delusion? Or did he really make contact with something beyond Earth? Become a Patreon or Apple + subscriber now for ealry and ad free access from as little as $1.69 a week.

    The Vanishing Sailor: Donald Crowhurst and the Golden Globe Race Mystery

    In 1968, an amateur sailor named Donald Crowhurst set out from England in a homemade trimaran to compete in the Sunday Times Golden Globe Race—the first ever solo, non-stop circumnavigation of the globe. But what began as a bold quest for fame and fortune soon turned into one of the most baffling mysteries in maritime history. With an untested boat, limited experience, and mounting financial pressure, Crowhurst quickly found himself in trouble. Rather than turn back and face ruin, he began faking his journey, submitting false radio reports and logbooks from the middle of the Atlantic. As other competitors dropped out, Crowhurst’s deception pushed him closer to the spotlight—and to the edge of his sanity. Nine months later, his boat, Teignmouth Electron, was found adrift in the Atlantic. The sails were intact. Supplies were untouched. But Donald Crowhurst was gone. What investigators found in his recovered logbooks shocked the world—philosophical ramblings, dual logs, and evidence of a mind in collapse. Was it madness? Guilt? A cosmic revelation? Or all three? This is the true story of a man who vanished into the ocean and into legend. A tale of ambition, pressure, isolation—and the deep, unknowable silence of the sea.

    Reincarnation in Scotland: The True Story of Cameron Macaulay

    In the early 2000s, a young Scottish boy named Cameron Macaulay stunned his family and baffled researchers when, at just five years old, he began speaking in vivid detail about a life he claimed to have lived before. Cameron described a white house overlooking the sea on the remote Isle of Barra, a black-and-white dog, siblings, and a father named Shane Robertson. He insisted he had once lived there, even describing planes landing on a beach — an extremely rare feature of Barra’s airport. Plagued by nightmares and an unshakable longing for his “other family,” Cameron’s emotional distress led his mother to seek help from experts in children’s past-life memories, including Dr. Jim Tucker from the University of Virginia. With the support of a documentary team, Cameron travelled to Barra, where he recognised landmarks, the white house he had drawn countless times, and local details no Glasgow child could possibly have known. Although some facts — like the precise identity of Shane Robertson — were never fully proven, many elements of Cameron’s story matched historical records and local recollections, leaving researchers and viewers amazed. His case remains one of the most remarkable modern examples of a child claiming reincarnation memories, featuring the same consistent patterns noted in many other cases worldwide: early recall, emotional intensity, accurate details, and a sense of peace after revisiting the place connected to the memories. In this immersive Mysteries at Bedtime episode, we explore Cameron Macaulay’s haunting story from his first nightmares to his healing journey on Barra, the psychological and scientific research behind past-life memories, and the profound questions these extraordinary cases raise about identity, memory, and what might come after death.

    The Ariel School UFO Encounter: When 62 Children Saw Something Unbelievable

    In September 1994, at a small private school in rural Zimbabwe, 62 children ran into their classrooms—terrified. What they described to teachers and later to UFO investigators would go on to become one of the most compelling mass UFO sightings in modern history. In this episode of Crime at Bedtime, we revisit the Ariel School encounter: the strange beings, the eerie messages, and the decades-long question that still lingers—did something truly land that day near the school playground, or was it all a shared hallucination? Using archived interviews, psychological analysis, and eyewitness testimony, we unravel a mystery that has never been fully explained.
