  • The Billy Brown Encounter
    Jan 21 2026
    In late 2021, an ordinary man from the north of England reported two encounters that would alter the course of his life. The first took place in the early hours of the morning and left him questioning the nature of consciousness itself. The second occurred months later. Between those two events lay a period of illness so severe that doctors could not explain how he survived it at all. Whether these experiences were connected remains uncertain. But taken together, they form a deeply unsettling account of contact, consequence, and the possibility that some encounters are never meant to be remembered.

  • The Evil Within
    Jan 14 2026
    When a thirteen-year-old boy growing up on a remote farm in Mexico takes part in what he believes is nothing more than a harmless game, he has no way of knowing what he is about to invite into his life. What begins as curiosity soon gives way to fear, as subtle changes take hold and the atmosphere within the household begins to shift. Over the following months, the boy’s family becomes convinced that something unnatural has attached itself to him, something that refuses to leave quietly. What follows is a disturbing descent into belief, desperation, and the terrifying idea that the greatest threat may come not from outside the home, but from within.

  • The Man Out of Time
    Dec 24 2025
    Most of us move through time without ever noticing it. Seconds pass, days accumulate, years slip quietly behind us. But on rare occasions, something appears to go wrong. A person finds themselves somewhere they do not belong, surrounded by a world that feels unfamiliar, faster, louder, and strangely hostile. In the winter of 1951, in the heart of New York City, witnesses reported seeing a man step into existence where no man had stood a moment before. Within minutes he was dead, but when investigators searched his body, it left them questioning not so much where he came from, but when.

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.
