  • Lair of the Leviathan

    Lair of the Leviathan
    Jun 3 2026
    Stories of monsters lurking within the world's oceans are nothing new, having persisted in folklore and maritime tradition for centuries. In previous episodes, including our sister series Wartime Stories, we have examined some of the most notorious examples. Yet despite centuries of exploration, the deep remains one of the least understood environments on Earth. Vast stretches of the ocean floor have never been seen by human eyes. Perhaps it should come as no surprise, then, that some still believe unimaginable things may be hiding down there, within a cold and unforgiving realm known simply as the Lair of the Leviathan.

  • The Wednesday Strangler

    The Wednesday Strangler
    May 27 2026
    In previous episodes, we have explored cases in which alleged serial killers were never identified, nor convicted of the horrific crimes they were believed to have committed. The same would prove true in the case of a modern-day murderer thought to have been responsible for the deaths of at least seven female victims in rural Japan. A killer whose disturbing and highly distinctive methods would ultimately earn him the chilling nickname, ‘The Wednesday Strangler’.

  • The Pecos Triangle

    The Pecos Triangle
    May 13 2026
    The North American continent is vast and often unforgiving, containing countless remote regions where visitors can all too easily come to harm. One such place lies deep within the American state of New Mexico, in a sprawling belt of wilderness situated between two immense national forests. It is a lonely and isolated landscape, harsh in both climate and terrain, where numerous people have disappeared under mysterious circumstances over the years. Many were never seen again, their souls long gone by now, but far from forgotten.

  • The Ilkley Moor Alien

    The Ilkley Moor Alien
    May 6 2026
    On the morning of 1st December 1987, a man walking alone across Ilkley Moor in Yorkshire claimed to encounter something he could not explain. Through the mist and silence of the moor, he reported seeing a strange, humanoid figure watching him from a distance. Acting on instinct, he raised his camera and captured a single photograph of the being before it vanished from sight. The image he produced would go on to spark decades of debate, drawing both curiosity and scepticism in equal measure. Was this fleeting encounter genuine evidence of something otherworldly, or simply a carefully constructed hoax that has endured far longer than expected?

  • The Mandela Effect

    The Mandela Effect
    Apr 29 2026
    Is the very essence of our reality shifting in ways we cannot comprehend? Are there subtle forces at work, altering events, memories, and the world around us without our awareness? Have you ever noticed details that seem familiar but different, moments you are certain happened one way, yet records say otherwise? Could something be quietly influencing the past, or is it a collective trick of perception? Perhaps these strange occurrences are not random at all, but part of a pattern that hints at a deeper mystery; something now known as The Mandela Effect.

    The Horror of Alcatraz
    Apr 22 2026
    America’s turbulent past has left behind countless locations said to be haunted by those who lost their lives there. From the victims of catastrophic disasters and fatal accidents, to soldiers and civilians killed in times of war, and those who fell prey to notorious murderers, the country’s history is steeped in tragedy. Yet it is often the places where such killers were ultimately confined that have given rise to some of the most disturbing accounts of all. Amongst them is the story we will be examining in this episode; The Alcatraz Horror.

  • Secrets of Celle Neues Rathaus

    Secrets of Celle Neues Rathaus
    Apr 21 2026
    During the Cold War, soldiers stationed on an army base in the German city of Celle began to report strange, unexplainable experiences. As time wore on, many of the men came to believe they were being terrorised by a sinister paranormal presence. These encounters proved so horrifying that some took their own lives rather than face another night on patrol. Whilst the incidents were largely dismissed, experts have uncovered long-hidden secrets that prove these men might have been telling the truth. Indeed, few places in the world have a darker, more sinister history than the Celle Neues Rathaus.
