Bedtime Stories

Story One – Taken in the Night
Stories of mysterious abductions have been with us for decades, to the point that they’ve become a huge part of Western culture. Unfortunately, this has erased much of the nuance surrounding these events, including strange occurrences felt before, during, and even after the “abduction” itself. Perhaps it’s finally time for people to listen to what really happened to those who found themselves taken in the night.
Story Two – The Santa Isabel Entity
In September of 1972, a series of bizarre encounters occurred at an industrial complex in the Argentinian city of Cordoba. Over the course of one week, witnesses to the phenomenon described crossing paths with a mysterious intruder – one whose origins remain unknown to this day. Whether it was man, beast, or something else entirely, we still have little explanation for the Santa Isabel Entity.

The Truth is Out There

Story One – The Lost Girls of Panama
On the morning of 1st April 2014, two young women decided to hike up to a popular tourist spot on the famous Pianista trail. They were never seen alive again. Were their deaths the result of a tragic accident? Or is there more to this mystery than meets the eye? What happened to the lost girls of Panama?
Story Two – The Strange Death of Jonathan Lovette
When seeking to refute reported UFO encounters, sceptics will often highlight a lack of physical evidence as a means of undermining the witness testimony. But how do you debunk such a tale when it resulted in the death and mutilation of one of the people involved? In this story, we ask what led to the strange death of Jonathan Lovette.

Remains

Christmas has a long tradition of ghost stories and tales of the unknown. Believe it or not, families would often take the opportunity to gather around the fireplace on cold Christmas evenings to share chilling tales with one another. In this episode, we introduce you to Rich, the narrator of the podcast, so that he can share some of his own personal experiences with the paranormal.

As a serving police officer, he has witnessed a number of inexplicable occurrences whilst on duty. Finally, we finish out the year with a rather moving personal story from Rich.

Personal Stories of the Bedtime Stories Team - Simon

In February 1994, police searching a house in Gloucester, England, made a horrifying discovery that would lead to one of the most infamous and disturbing cases in British criminal history. From that point onwards, the property at 25 Cromwell Street would become known as "The House of Horrors."

25 Cromwell Street

Story One – Bridgend
Lying between the sandy beaches of South Wales’s Gower Peninsula and the rugged mountains of the Brecon Beacons, the county of Bridgend is surrounded by areas of outstanding natural beauty. But over a three-year period in the late 2000’s, the area was devastated by a string of teenage suicides. Just what was happening in Bridgend?
Story Two – Eleven
Eleven years. Eleven diaries. Eleven deaths. In July 2018, a small town in North Delhi, India was rocked to its core when an entire family perished under strange circumstances. A case still heavily under investigation, we question; what were the events which led up to the mysterious Burari deaths.

Quietus

Story One – The Mysterious Disappearance of Flight 19
In December 1945, five torpedo bombers on a routine patrol over the Bahamas vanished without trace. It was an incident that would kickstart the notoriety surrounding the infamous Bermuda Triangle and even now, more than 70 years later, we are still questioning what caused the mysterious disappearance of Flight 19.
Story Two – The Disappearance of Flight MH370
In January 2017, authorities solemnly called an end to the global effort which had occupied the minds and the prayers of millions for the past three years. Over 120 thousand square kilometres of Indian ocean had been combed around the clock with cutting- edge technology, but despite all this effort, we're still no closer to solving the disappearance of flight MH370.

Into the Void

Smartphones and texting have caused many of us to forget that until the early 2000s, complete strangers could call you at any time, for any reason. And if they said the right things to keep you from hanging up, you could find yourself subjected to all manner of psychological manipulation. This tale is one in which several calls are featured, but – in reality – they are just one part of a much larger story. And try as they might, nobody has ever found a suitable explanation for the bizarre events surrounding the Sudbrink Phone Calls.

The Sudbrink Phone Calls

Story One – The Lead Masks of Vintém Hill
During August of 1966, the dead bodies of two men were found on a hillside in Brazil. Much of what was discovered at the scene would leave authorities baffled and has never been fully understood. What we are left with is a fifty-year-old mystery known as the Lead Masks of Vintém Hill.
Story Two – The Watervale Runner
Somewhere in South Australia, a small town holds a mystery in the palm of its hand. The disappearance of a young woman in October 2016 would turn the community upside-down and leave residents and local police questioning what happened to the Watervale Runner.

Bright Lights

Story One – The CrossWade Interlopers
In the Spring of 2013, what seemed to be a straightforward emergency call out for two police officers would turn out to be anything but. Not only would this experience chill them to the core, but it would have them questioning their own sanity for years afterwards as they tried to solve the riddle that was the CrossWade interlopers.
Story Two – The Belfast Crossover
In October 2016, a nurse working a day shift at a busy hospital in Northern Ireland was involved in an unsettling turn of events, which left him questioning everything he thought he knew about the world we inhabit. What happened during the Belfast crossover?

Glitches

As one might expect, most paranormal or supernatural encounters occur in the hours of darkness. What is it about the night that seems to manifest these experiences? Is it our own feelings of vulnerability and isolation? Or is it something more profound? This week, we hear accounts from those who work on the dreaded nightshift.
