    Down Under

    Story One – Mystery of the High Country Over the last decade, the Australian state of Victoria has been the scene of multiple unexplained disappearances. What is happening to the people who vanish into this region’s isolated, rural areas, and could a mysterious figure potentially hold the key to uncovering their fates? In this story, we explore the Mystery of the High Country. Story Two – Outback Encounters In the heart of Australia lies a desolate expanse known for its unsettling reputation. This remote region, steeped in eerie tales, has long blurred the line between reality and the unknown. Are these mysterious encounters mere superstition, or do they hint at something far more enigmatic hidden in the vastness of the Outback?

    Interdimensional

    Story One – The Wavertree Bus Incident From ghostly sightings, weird time slips and bizarre reality glitches, Liverpool it seems, has something of an obscure history of strange occurrences. But an incident in 1961, which saw multiple witnesses incapacitated by strange figures, would add the possibility of inter-dimensional gateways to the city’s ever-growing list of unusual happenings. Join us as we explore the Wavertree bus incident. Story Two – The Sandown Clown During the mid-1970’s, two small children would find themselves confronted by a mysterious figure, whilst holidaying on the Isle of Wight. From their description of this bizarre entity, it still remains unclear whether the encounter was paranormal or extraterrestrial in nature. Join us as we explore the haunting story of the Sandown Clown.

    Thin Air

    Story One – What Happened to the Sodder Children? During the dying days of 1945, the small town of Fayetteville in West Virginia played host to a horrendous tragedy. A huge blaze tore through a local household, seemingly claiming the lives of five young children in the process. But the failure of authorities to locate their remains, coupled with a series of bizarre occurrences in the aftermath of the incident ultimately posed the question, what happened to the Sodder Children? Story Two – Into Thin Air The nature of missing persons cases can vary greatly, both in terms of their individual circumstances, and their eventual outcomes. But few such disappearances match the complexity and mystery of those we will be examining in this episode. Instances where those who went missing, having vanished in front of multiple witnesses, seemingly into thin air.

    Shadows and Dust

    Story One – The Blackbird of Chernobyl When researching the numerous major catastrophes which have occurred throughout human history, it is not uncommon to find testimony from observers who claim to have been pre-warned about the looming tragedy by some form of vision or ominous portent. In this chapter, we examine one such example of this. What was the Blackbird of Chernobyl? Story Two – The Shadow of the Aswang Since time immemorial, in cultures all over the globe, there have been stories of malevolent creatures and spirits, which emerge from the shadows long after the sun has set, stalking the streets and highways, intending to bring harm to those who cross their path. The idyllic islands of the Philippines are no exception, their inhabitants forever living in the shadow of the Aswang.

    Nautical Mysteries

    As a species, we have long considered ourselves the most dominant on the planet, laying claim to the territories and natural resources we discover. And yet, over two thirds of the world remain beyond our reach, hidden deep beneath seemingly endless stretches of water. What do those depths hold for those who succumb to their hidden dangers?

    Story One – The Secret of Scape Ore Swamp In an isolated rural corner of South Carolina, there is an area of swampland that has come to gain no small amount of notoriety. Is this inhospitable region home to one of North America’s most infamous cryptids? Join us in this story, as we delve into the secret of Scape Ore Swamp. Story Two – The Lurking Horror In previous episodes, we have examined stories of oversized creatures, whose mere existence appears to defy belief, and in this story, we will be looking at perhaps the most horrifying of these alleged beasts. A gigantic species of spider, known to those who have survived encounters with it as the lurking horror.

    Chariots of the Gods

    Story One – The Mystery of Aurora America has played host to numerous high-profile UFO incidents, perhaps the most notorious of which took place in New Mexico during the summer of 1947. But the reported discovery of a downed alien spacecraft near Roswell was by no means the first such incident, with an equally mysterious crash having allegedly taken place in the neighbouring state of Texas, fifty years earlier. This week, we visit the mystery of Aurora. Story Two – The Ariel School Encounter One of the most common reasons that alleged encounters with Unidentified Flying Objects are often dismissed, is that they usually involve only one or two witnesses. But how has society reacted when such occurrences have taken place involving large groups of onlookers? This week, we examine one such incident. Join us, as we delve into the mysteries of, the Ariel School Encounter.

    Tunnels

    Story One – The Hoosac Tunnel Haunting In the northernmost regions of the United States, a train tunnel stands as a haunting monument to the many workers who perished during its construction, their blood soaked into its very foundations. Eerie encounters with ghostly entities have been reported since its creation, persisting right up to the present day. What secrets lurk within this tunnel of the dead? Story Two – The Tsarichina Entity On the outskirts of a small village in Eastern Europe, there lies a three-decade old mystery, which still disturbs the servicemen and women who were involved to their core. Why did the Bulgarian army spend two years excavating the foothills of the Balkan Mountains, only to hide all evidence of their activities? The answers lie buried, along with the entity of Tsarichina.
