Part Three
What started out as a search and rescue effort soon turned into a serious investigation into the tragic and untimely deaths of nine young souls. There were many aspects of the case which were highly mysterious and seemed to suggest some sort of foul play. But by who? Or what? In the concluding part of our Dyatlov Pass series, we examine the theories surrounding what happened on that fateful night back in February of 1959 - theories which range from the mundane to the truly extreme.

Part Two
After discovering the collapsed tent of the Dyatlov group, rescuers searched in vain for the missing hikers, hoping they were braving out the harsh Siberian winter in a cave or abandoned hut. The truth, however, was far more gruesome. Only metres away from the abandoned campsite, the bodies of their friends lay silently beneath the pristine snow, each having suffered a multitude of mysterious injuries.

Story One – The Monkey Man of Delhi
Urban legends exist around the world. Mostly, they keep us from parking in dark places at night, or from talking to creepy kids with dark-coloured eyes. But what happens when an urban legend goes viral, causing so much panic that people begin to die because of it? That’s precisely what happened in India in 2001, when residents reported some 350 terrifying encounters with what would eventually become known as the Monkey Man of Delhi.
Story Two – The Dread of the Djinn
Many ancient texts speak of supernatural beings representing the forces of good and evil. However, not all of these entities fit quite so neatly into such categories. For centuries, people in the Arabic world have spoken of creatures who bring fortune and pain in equal measure. But despite the age of these legends, recent reports from the Near East seem to indicate that even our modern world is subject to the dread of the Djinn.

Story Two – The Body on the Reservoir
In 1988, the mutilated body of a middle-aged man was found on the banks of an artificial lake in Brazil. Listed as one of the most disturbing deaths of a human being ever recorded, the question is who or what left the body on the reservoir?

Story One – First in Defence
The United States Navy possesses the largest and most powerful fleet of ocean-going vessels on the planet. In the many years that have passed since it was founded, the brave men and women serving within this institution have been exposed to numerous incidents of an inexplicable and unsettling nature. In this week’s episode, we examine three such occurrences.
Story Two – The Disappearance of the Nanjing Battalion
Despite modern advances in communications and surveillance technology, human beings continue to vanish from society without leaving a trace. Often such disappearances are eventually explained, but this proves more difficult when the incident involves hundreds, or even thousands of people. Join us as we explore the disappearance of the Nanjing Battalion.

Story Two – There is Something in the Valley
Tucked away within Canada’s Northwest Territories is an area of outstanding natural beauty, inaccessible by conventional means. For decades, people have crossed its boundaries in search of a great fortune, which is rumoured to lie there. Many have emerged empty-handed, but yet more have never returned at all.

Story Two – The Curse of Clapham Woods
Previously, we have explored numerous instances of supernatural activity witnessed at Cannock Chase in Staffordshire, many of which are directly connected to Castle Ring, the remnants of an Iron Age fort at the heart of that region. This week, we journey to another such site, located 200 miles away in southeast England, known for similar disturbing occurrences. Join us as we delve into the Curse of Clapham Wood.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

We have examined several encounters with strange entities, which took place in remote North American communities. In many of these cases, the bizarre nature of the incident has gone on to immortalise not only the being itself but also the location in which it was seen. In this episode, we explore two such encounters, which took place in West Virginia. This mountainous region was the backdrop for the infamous Mothman sighting during the 1960s, which we have already covered. This week, we take a look at both the Flatwoods Monster and the Grafton Monster.

Story One – The Smiley Face Killers
For the last quarter of a century, the bodies of fit and healthy young men have been recovered from the waterways which crisscross the US.

Who are the Smiley Face Killers?
Story Two – Death in Gorda Springs
During the Autumn of 2003, staff at a holiday resort in California contacted the police to report having discovered the bodies of two of their guests.

Story One – The Second Kind
Alleged interactions with extra-terrestrial craft and their occupants come in many forms, each providing varying degrees of evidence with which to validate their provenance. A small proportion of these cases has resulted in significant illness or injury to those involved, with no definitive explanation as to how or why the witnesses came to develop such harmful symptoms. In this story, we examine two such instances of close encounters of the second kind.
Story Two – Enemies of the State
We have already examined a broad range of UFO encounters reported at locations across the globe. In this story, however, we will be focussing on a series of sightings which allegedly took place within the Soviet Union. Stories in which the Soviet government had been repeatedly forced to confront and evaluate the existence of potentially unearthly enemies of the state.

Story One – A Haunting in Indiana
There are many accounts on record of individuals being targeted by demonic entities. But in this story we examine a case in which an entire family was allegedly driven from their home by a whole host of demons, forcing them to enlist the help of both the church and the police in an effort to save their children.
Story Two – The Philip Experiment
The idea of a continuing existence despite the passing of a person’s physical form is one that has long fascinated humanity. But what if it were possible to force such an entity into being via the use of nothing more than sheer willpower? In this story we examine a case in which that concept was tested and resulted in some degree of success. An undertaking which became known as the Philip Experiment.

Story One – Shadows in the Dark
Anecdotes shared by Rocky Elmore and other former border patrol staff have shed light on the growing number of haunting incidents which have taken place in America’s southern border region. This raises questions over whether the entities that have been witnessed and encountered there, are supernatural or far more tangible in nature. Join us, as we explore more border patrol stories, and in the second half of this episode - exclusive to the podcast series - hear tales from the Mexican side of the border.

Story One – The Michigan Dogman
"Somewhere in the north-woods darkness, a creature walks upright. And the best advice you may ever get is don’t go out… at night."
Whilst these words appear to have been born out of a harmless April Fool’s Joke, for the residents of Michigan’s heartland, they stir a deeply rooted apprehension. The fear of a mythical beast, stories of which have been passed down through the centuries. A creature known as, the Michigan Dogman.
Story Two – The Beast of Gévaudan
During a three-year period of the mid-18th century, a mysterious creature was responsible for the gruesome slayings of over one hundred people living in a small region of southern France. Some say the beast was eventually caught and killed, whilst others believe it is still very much at large. In this story, we examine the Beast of Gévaudan?

In this episode, we will be exploring a disappearance which took place in the American state of Nevada over the Christmas period of 2009.

Story Two – Who was the Grinning Man?
Alien? Humanoid cryptid? Man in Black? Hallucination? Or possibly a combination of these? This seven-foot-tall being who sports a menacing inhuman smile and terrorises people in the dead of night by watching them sleep may be known by many names, but he needs only one. Who is The Grinning Man?

Story One – Trains, Planes and Timeslips
History is littered with the mysterious disappearances of individuals, who vanished from the face of the Earth whilst travelling routine journeys. Many of these instances have proven frustrating to investigate, as neither the transportation that was involved or its occupants were ever located. And in a minority of cases, tales persist of vehicles reappearing in impossible locations or timeframes, long after – and sometimes well before – they disappeared.
Story Two – In the Fullness of Time
In the previous story, we examined cases in which people have allegedly slipped through time, alongside common inconsistencies that are all too often associated with the reporting of such incidents. At some point in the far future, has humanity discovered the means to journey back to its distant past? Or are we so enamoured with this concept that it somehow blinds us to logic and reason?

It is common for locations that have played host to major military conflict to feature persistent manifestations of ghosts or other such paranormal entities. But the Japanese island of Okinawa is the site of a somewhat disproportionate number of supernatural sightings. Join us this week, as we walk amongst the Ghosts of Kadena Air Base.
Story Two – Under the Beacons Glare
Reaching far back into antiquity, seafaring civilisations have relied upon beacons and lighthouses to ensure safe passage for mariners. But all too often, these noble constructions have ended up tainted by tales of torment and tragedy. Playing host to mysterious and inexplicable events, which have played out under the beacon’s glare.

For close to a century, the officers of the United States Border Patrol have traversed the foothills and valleys of the Otay Mesa, located in California’s San Diego County. But in addition to contending with an endless stream of individuals attempting to illegally enter the United States, these agents have sometimes encountered intruders of a more inexplicable nature.
Story Two – Tales From Stardust Ranch
We have already examined the inexplicable and haunting occurrences at Utah’s infamous Skinwalker Ranch in previous episodes. But across the border in neighbouring Arizona, lies another remote farmstead with an equally terrifying history.

Story Two – The Mysterious Risley Encounter
For several weeks in March of 1978, a quiet and unassuming community in the north of England became the site of a media circus, following an inexplicable incident. Who or what was the mysterious figure reported to the authorities, and did it ultimately contribute to the death of its only witness? This week, we recount the mysterious Risley Encounter.

Story One – The Devil in the Doll
Whilst stories of haunted dolls can be traced back many generations, it was not until the arrival of Hollywood characters such as ‘Chucky’ and ‘Annabel’ that the concept of possessed puppets truly cemented itself within the wider public consciousness. In this episode, we examine three allegedly true stories of toys which seemed to have a life of their own and try to determine exactly what was behind the devil in the doll.
Story Two – The Black-Eyed Children
Over the past twenty years, the number of online testimonies describing encounters with phantom children have increased exponentially. Who are these nocturnal visitors? And what exactly is it that they want from those whom they unexpectedly approach? In this episode, we examine the phenomenon of the Black-Eyed Children.

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.

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 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.

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.

Story One – Ghosts of the London Underground
The Underground has been at the centre of London’s transport infrastructure for a century and a half. During that time, it has played host to many historical events, from sheltering civilians in the second world war, to being a target of the 2005 London terrorist attacks. Many people have lost their lives in these tunnels. Could their restless souls remain as ghosts of the London Underground?
Story Two – Phantoms of Leap Castle
In previous episodes we have visited a number of locations where the manifestation of restless spirits seems to be inevitably tied to tragic events in the distant past. A medieval castle, which lies in the heart of rural Ireland, is apparently the scene of just such a phenomenon. Join us, as we uncover the phantoms of Leap Castle.

Story 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

Story 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 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.

Story 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.

Story 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?
