Show notes

In 1969 Australia’s national football team the Socceroos were on the verge of qualifying for the 1970 World Cup in Mexico, but they realised they needed a helping hand and turned to an unusual paranormal source… They hired a local witchdoctor in Mozambique which would set in motion paranormal dominoes causing chaos for the Australian team for 40 years.

Show notes

In 1978, a night watchman was patrolling the mountains of northern Italy when he noticed something unusual… several strange figures had broken into one of the houses nearby. He didn’t know where they’d come from or what they wanted but he did know one thing for sure - they weren't men.

Coded Messages from Deep in the Desert - The Mojave Phone Booth Jun 30, 2026

Show notes

The Mojave desert holds many mysteries from ancient Native American lore, to Area 51, and undiscovered creatures like the Yucca man. But one of the most strange and forgotten pieces of modern American folklore also calls the Mojave home. Deep in the desert, hundreds of miles from civilisation lay a phone booth that visitors claimed held a strange power, to connect them to unseen forces, or even extraterrestrial visitors… this is the story of the Mojave Phone Booth.

Hunting Ghosts in a Medieval Bone Dungeon - The Haunting of Chillingham Castle Jun 16, 2026

Show notes

How many Human Bones is too many to have in your home? If you answered anything other than ‘one’, take yourself straight to jail because that was a trick question. And yet for one curious homeowner in Northumberland, England, even getting to the bathroom in the middle of the night is almost impossible without also tripping over a human femur. That’s because Chillingham Castle, one of Britain’s most haunted buildings, has a dark medieval paranormal history of death, torture, and deceit. And while the house has been restored over the years, they have made sure to leave its bone pit intact...Time for Kit and Rory to investigate!

Is 2026 the Year They Show Us The Aliens? - UFO Evidence Released by US Government Jun 02, 2026

Show notes

On the 8th of May 2026 just a few weeks ago something very strange happened. The US department of defence set up a public website containing over 100 never before seen documents, videos, and images of UFO sightings — breaking a policy of silence about UFOs and aliens that has lasted almost 80 years. Inside those files are some of the most shocking evidence of UFOs ever seen. But not only that, the pentagon says this is only the beginning, there are more files coming next month, and the month after that. But what do those videos show? Where is this trail of evidence leading? Time for Kit and Rory to investigate!

Declassified CIA Documents - The Height 611 UFO Crash May 26, 2026

Show notes

In 1989 a strange object soared across the skies above the forests of Borisov, in Soviet Russia. Locals watched in awe as the object crashed into the rocks, exploding into a ball of flames that burned for hours on end. When a research team finally reached the site… they’d couldn’t believe what they discovered. Today's story isn’t coming from reddit or some online UFO forum, it’s coming straight from declassified documents released by the CIA.
