Bedtime Stories

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.

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.

Of the many cryptids said to inhabit the North American continent, few have featured in as many reported encounters as Michigan’s infamous Dogman. For well over a century, witnesses across the state have described remarkably similar encounters with a large, werewolf-like creature, often recounting its appearance in striking detail. Yet despite the consistency of these reports, the true nature and origins of the entity remain a mystery. However, in 2017, a disturbing incident occurred which appeared to suggest an entirely new possibility regarding where these creatures might come from.   Dose: Give your liver the daily support it deserves.
