  • The Darkness of Delamere

    The Darkness of Delamere
    Feb 25 2026
    We have previously examined three forested regions of the United Kingdom, each of which has become a focal point for reports of high strangeness. Cannock Chase brought with it accounts of shadowed figures, cryptids and unexplained encounters. Clapham Wood revealed whispers of spectral entities and deeply unsettling phenomena. Pembrey Forest, outwardly quiet and unassuming, carried its own catalogue of strange sights and unnerving experiences. Now, we turn to another woodland. A forest where reports do not centre on a single apparition or isolated creature, but on a bewildering array of entities, sightings and encounters, spanning generations. This time, we step into the darkness of Delamere.

  • The Iceman's Curse

    The Iceman's Curse
    Feb 11 2026
    Throughout history, there are countless examples of places or objects said to bring suffering to those connected with them, earning a reputation for being cursed. In earlier episodes, we have explored several of these stories, from infamously unlucky motor vehicles to the final resting place of a convicted murderer. In this episode, we turn our attention to the preserved remains of an Ice Age hunter, a body some believe is linked to a series of unexplained deaths. Together, these events have come to be known as The Iceman’s Curse.

  • The Watchers of Alor Island

    The Watchers of Alor Island
    Feb 4 2026
    Some places sit quietly on the map, rarely drawing attention beyond those who live nearby. Others become known not for what happens there once, but for what keeps happening again and again; events that resist explanation, leave no clear record, and blur the line between history and testimony. In the mid twentieth century, a remote corner of Indonesia became the focus of a series of accounts that defied easy categorisation. Fishermen, villagers, and visiting outsiders all described encounters that did not fit local folklore, modern science, or conventional misunderstanding. What follows is not a single incident, but a pattern; fragmented, unsettling, and difficult to dismiss.

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.
