Bedtime Stories

Story One – The Mysterious Pentyrch Incident 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.

A series of murders which took place during the early 1900’s, perpetrated by an enigmatic and brutal killer. One who would become known over time as the Midnight Rider. 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.

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.

During our previous episode, we examined a series of strange incidents, which are believed to have taken place at an isolated cattle ranch, located in Eastern Colorado. 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. ALIEN MESSAGE “Attention. We have allowed you to remain. We have interfered with your lives very little. Do not cause us to take action which you will regret.

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. But the reality behind the concept of vampirism is far removed from the fantasy, borne out of a flurry of brutal and truly horrifying murders. In this story, we meet America’s Vampires.

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? Or was it something far more sinister? If the accounts of certain whistleblowers are to be believed, then it might just be that there is something on the moon. Story Two – The Strange Fate of Phobos II For centuries, humanity has obsessed about the existence of intelligent beings residing upon the seemingly lifeless surface of Mars.
