Bedtime Stories

In 1954, a European businessman arrived in Japan aboard an international flight, carrying documents that appeared to confirm his identity and extensive history of overseas travel. There was, however, one significant problem. The country which had issued his passport did not exist. The traveller himself seemed equally bewildered, insisting that his homeland was a centuries-old nation recognised throughout the world. What followed would become the basis of one of the strangest stories ever to emerge from post-war Japan. And decades later, some believe the mystery of the Man from Taured could provide evidence that other realities exist alongside our own.   Head to https://forkfulmeals.com/bedtime for 50%off your first order today!   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.

Following the end of the Cold War, numerous incidents once buried within classified military records have gradually entered the public domain, some of which continue to defy explanation. These include disturbing accounts of soldiers confronted by bizarre and seemingly hostile entities, whose appearance bore little resemblance to anything recognisably human. Alongside our sister channel and podcast, Wartime Stories, we have already explored several such encounters. In this episode, we turn our attention to a mysterious entity encountered at an isolated military installation, known to those unfortunate enough to cross its path as the Hard Stand Monster.   Join the millions who are already banking fee free with America’s #1 Choice for Banking.

The Missing 411 phenomenon centres upon a series of unexplained deaths and disappearances that have occurred within the boundaries of America's National Parks. Those who study these cases have proposed a number of possible explanations. Yet no single theory is capable of accounting for every incident. There is, however, a small group of cases that some believe may point towards one particular culprit. In this episode, we will be exploring several disappearances in which it has been suggested that the victims fell prey to Sasquatch.   Head to https://forkfulmeals.com/bedtime for 50% off your first order today!   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.

He set off expecting nothing more than a long drive. A journey from Oregon to Florida, planned, ordinary, and uneventful. Somewhere along the way, however, Timothy Braddy disappeared. His truck would later be found parked beside a high school, undamaged and unlocked, as though he had stepped away briefly and never returned. There were no signs of violence, no clear reason for him to stop, and no trace of where he went next. What followed was not clarity, but silence. And with it, a question that still has no answer: how does someone simply vanish in plain sight?
