  • The Disappearance of Jared Negrete

    The Disappearance of Jared Negrete
    Jun 25 2025
    Each year, hundreds of thousands of people go missing across the United States. Most are eventually found, sometimes safe, sometimes not. But then there are the anomalies - the people who, for whatever reason, seem to completely disappear without a trace. These cases often linger for decades, fuelled by rumour, strange clues, and unanswered questions. This is one such story - a disappearance so bizarre that it left people around the world asking, “What happened to Jared Negrete?” MUSIC Tracks used by kind permission of Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 Tracks used by kind permission of CO.AG Learn more about your ad choices.

  • The Fort Benning Incident

    The Fort Benning Incident
    Jun 18 2025
    For those who believe in extraterrestrials, the military is commonly seen as the first line of defence. For over a century, radio dramas, films, and literature have asked: what would really happen if our military forces engaged an advanced interstellar species? At least two men claim to not only know the answer, but to have participated in just such a conflict, only to be abducted, and their minds mysteriously wiped. Their tales raise an important question: just what happened during the Fort Benning Incident?

  • Ghost Hands

    Ghost Hands
    Jun 11 2025
    Story One – What Killed Olivia Mabel? One afternoon in 1994, a series of silent 911 calls from a remote Texas property would result in several police officers descending upon the scene. What they found after breaking in through the front entrance, would shock them to their core and leave them questioning what killed Olivia Mabel. Story Two – The Strange Death of Gaurav Tiwari In July 2016, a young ghost hunter died in mysterious circumstances after visiting a supposedly haunted property. Authorities hastily ruled it a suicide, but this was not a satisfactory answer for many people, including those closest to him, who are still trying to understand the strange death of Gaurav Tiwari.

I've been a fan & subscriber to the YouTube channel for years and was glad when they launched this podcast. Some stories are re-tellings of the video tales and some are original. The stories and narration are always great and I recommend this to anyone who likes strange & scary stories.......

Once I have listened to an episode during the day I re listen to fall to sleep to every night. The stories are so intriguing & the way the narrator tells them is encapsulating. Honestly it’s just brilliant.
