For our final episode in this series, we have some more stories of the paranormal. This time from social media site Reddit where user posed this question:

“A man once said if you want a good story just ask any random person if there was ever an event in their life they can not explain. Someone almost always has one weird thing that has happened to them. So Reddit, regardless of whatever you believe about the world, what’s your stor...

2nd August 1980. The waiting room at Bologna train station is packed, but the hundreds of passengers amassed there are about to have their thoughts of travel plans, dinner arrangements and daily worries scattered to the four winds, because in a moment, a huge explosion will rip through the station.

Sadly, it just the latest in a series of attacks that will work in favour of the right-wing leadership, drawing the left-leaning public...

On 4 October 1967 something crashed into the murky waters of Shag Harbour, Nova Scotia. What? According to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police files, a UFO. One of my all time favourite UFO stories, this one has sightings from multiple witnesses (including policemen and pilots), radar evidence and physical evidence. No wonder they call it "Canada's Roswell".

Today we’ll be sifting through the ashes for answers to the age old conundrum: what is spontaneous combustion, from famous cases to some possible explanations. Are you r...

On our last UFO episode, I said 95% of UFO sightings can be written off as nothing: weather phenomena; misidentified aircraft; mistakenly identified stars or planets. I also said 5% cannot be explained. Within that subset, there’s an even smaller subset of inexplicable deaths. Today, we’ll be looking at 5 times UFO encounters ended in tragedy. This time, it’s Bizarre UFO Deaths. Let’s Get Weird!

One night in 1996, Brian Bethel was sitting in his car about to deposit a cheque when two boys appeared at his window. Instead of exiting his vehicle, Brian stayed in his car because something about the kids unnerved him deeply. It was only when one of the kids moved closer he saw what was wrong. It was a night he’d never forget and the birth of a mysterious new phenomenon. Who or What are the Black-Eyed Children?

On the 28 November 1953, Frank Olson, a US Army biochemist and biological weapons researcher, is in a room on the 13th floor of the Hotel Statler in New York City. He’s also in the middle of a severe psychotic episode. Sometime around 2am, Frank plummets thirteen storeys from the hotel window to the damp streets below. An obvious suicide, right? Not so fast.

At the time of his death, his blood was coursing with the drug lysergic ac...

95% of UFO sightings can be written off as nothing: weather phenomena; misidentified aircraft; mistakenly identified stars or planets. 5% cannot be explained. Today, I’ll be looking at one case I think falls into that 5%.

UFOs, mysterious deaths, Men in Black, this one’s got the lot... it’s the Maury Island UFO.

In the mid 1960s the town of Point Pleasant, Virginia was besieged by a year-long series of sightings of a strange winged creature which culminated in the deaths of 46 people. The creature was the size of a man with glowing red eyes and huge bat wings and filled those unfortunate enough to see him with a bottomless dread.
