Bedtime Stories

In this special episode of Bedtime Stories, we step away from our usual format to bring you four personal accounts of strange and unexplained experiences. With no carefully prepared script, Rich takes a more informal approach, recounting a collection of unsettling incidents that have remained with him and his family for many years. Some he experienced first-hand, while others involve people he knew intimately, whose stories have been passed down through the family. From curious encounters to events that continue to defy explanation, these are the kinds of experiences that leave a lasting impression, long after the moment has passed.

The thirteen states that form America's northern border have long been associated with reports of mysterious creatures, many of which have become deeply embedded in local folklore. Accounts of these elusive beings describe a remarkable range of behaviours, from savage and seemingly primitive acts of aggression to displays of intelligence that suggest something considerably more sophisticated. Yet amongst the many creatures said to inhabit this vast wilderness, few are quite as intriguing as a reclusive species allegedly dwelling within the dense forests of New Hampshire. An elusive race of humanoid beings whose unsettling reputation has earned them a particularly ominous name. The Woods Devil.

During the mid-1970s, law enforcement agencies across the world recorded an extraordinary number of reported UFO sightings, many of which would go on to capture the public imagination. Some became so deeply embedded in popular culture that the towns and cities in which they occurred remain synonymous with alleged extraterrestrial activity to this day. Yet amongst these widely publicised encounters were others that were quietly forgotten, despite involving testimony and circumstances that appeared to warrant greater attention. One such incident unfolded in a small town in the eastern Netherlands, where a series of extraordinary events would leave witnesses struggling to explain what they had encountered. Join us as we recount the curious case of the Sweepers of Uden.

Advances in DNA analysis and facial recognition technology have made it increasingly difficult for unidentified victims to remain anonymous. But for much of the twentieth century, investigators had far fewer resources at their disposal, and countless individuals whose identities could not be established were assigned little more than a generic name in official records. Some would remain unidentified for decades, their personal histories lost and the circumstances of their deaths shrouded in mystery. In this episode, we examine one such story, involving an unidentified man whose fate would puzzle investigators for many years, and who would become known simply as the Moxee ‘John Doe’.

The Haunting of Bill Vaile



For as long as human beings have told stories of the supernatural, there have been accounts of malevolent entities that appear to take pleasure in tormenting the living. Forces said to manipulate and intimidate their victims, gradually wearing them down until their lives become consumed by fear. Most such tales belong to folklore, their origins lost to the passage of time. But occasionally, similar claims emerge in the modern world. In this episode, we explore an account of this alleged phenomenon, in which an unsuspecting man claimed he was deliberately chosen to become the host of a demonic entity. Join us, as we recount the haunting of Bill Vaile.
