On a stormy night in November 1980, 32-year-old Granger Taylor left a hand-written note for his family saying he was going on a journey “aboard an alien spaceship” and then vanished without a trace. A self-taught mechanical genius from Vancouver Island, Granger had spent years rebuilding old engines, trains, and even a World War II aircraft in his backyard. But in the months leading up to his disappearance, his obsession with space and extraterrestrial life took a strange and tragic turn.

Decades later, pieces of his truck were found high in the forest near Mount Prevost, apparently destroyed by an explosion. But his body was never formally identified, and questions still swirl around whether Granger died that night or went somewhere else entirely.

In this haunting episode of Mysteries at Bedtime, we explore the life and mind of Granger Taylor, the cultural impact of his disappearance, and the enduring theories: Was it suicide? A delusion? Or did he really make contact with something beyond Earth?
