    Story One – The Mysterious Pentyrch Incident

    During a cold February evening in 2016, a bewildering incident would transpire on the outskirts of Cardiff, which would in time go on to become known as the ‘Welsh Roswell Incident.' Did the British military genuinely ambush a UFO in the Welsh valleys, or was this instead a misunderstanding of more earthly events? Join us, as we delve into the mysterious Pentyrch incident.

    Story Two – The Howden Moors Incident

    In March 1997, the authorities responsible for policing the UK’s Peak District, were forced to initiate a high-profile search and rescue operation. Local residents reported seeing an unidentified aircraft hurtle from the skies and impact a remote area of moorland. No survivors or wreckage pertaining to this incident have ever been officially recovered, despite numerous witnesses having observed it taking place. What was the true cause of the Howden Moors incident?

    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.

    The Kentucky Goblins

    The Kentucky Goblins

    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. Beset by uncharacteristically poor weather conditions, what happened to them next remains unexplained to this day. Join us as we delve into the mystery of the Tatra Mountains.

    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.

    Projects and Experiments

    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.
