August 18, 2025 40. The Stonehenge Joker
During the midsummer solstice of 2025, a strange grinning face suddenly appears in a field next to the historic monument of Stonehenge. This pattern forms the bizarre likeness of a playing card joker. But it is just the latest in a long line of so-called ‘crop circles’ to have materialised in this ancient landscape, some of which have apparently formed in broad daylight in the space of just forty-five minutes. The question is what in the world – or universe – could have caused them?

July 21, 2025 37. The Cloak of Invisibility
In the early 18th century, a Scottish Earl languishes in an English cell, in one of the most formidable prisons in the country. The man has been condemned to die a traitor’s death, and his wife travels south to see her husband in prison one last time. However, the following morning and the Earl is gone, vanished, even though the women who entered his cell were also seen exiting it, and were carrying nothing with them. But could the answer to the Earl’s disappearance lie in one of the cloaks the women were wearing? Might it not have been an ordinary cloak at all but a cloak… of invisibility? Join Barry and Lora as they unravel the story of the infamous Nithsdale Cloak.

July 07, 2025 36. Lightning Made me Psychic
In a raging South Carolina storm, a man makes a telephone call with disastrous consequences. An intense bolt of lightning hits his phone line, travelling down the man’s body and blowing him across the room. The man is subsequently declared dead. But, against all the odds, this same man regains consciousness, having had a life-altering near death experience. Furthermore, the man now appears to possess an array of truly extraordinary psychic abilities. But just how could this have happened?

June 23, 2025 35. The Ghostly Anson Lights
Outside a small town in west Texas, a series of supernatural lights are observed. The lights, which seem to materialise from nowhere, behave very strangely: splitting, hovering and receding again before people’s very eyes. Could these eerie illuminations really have their roots in a tragic local legend, or might there be another explanation for the ghostly lights of Anson? Join Lora and Barry as they investigate this strange visual phenomenon.

June 09, 2025 34. The Fresno Nightcrawler
In the early 2000s, a man’s outside security camera records a truly unprecedented sight. A completely peculiar, seemingly other-worldly being, consisting solely of a pair of glowing white legs and a tiny head, is waddling across the man’s front yard. The being’s physical appearance is like no other creature ever recorded. But with the man swearing the footage is real, and a second video emerging later which appears to back up his story, just what could it be? Is it an alien, a spirit… or something else? In this eerie episode, Lora and Barry turn their attention to the Fresno Nightcrawlers.

In a quiet Los Angeles neighbourhood, a brutal and baffling crime is discovered. A businessman is dead, having been shot three times. The only other person in the house is his wife, but she is trapped in a closet that has been locked from the outside. However, neighbours report hearing strange noises coming from the property, shadows passing before its windows and ghostly scratching emanating from the attic. So was this a robbery gone wrong or a fatal haunting… or might there be another explanation for this very mystifying murder? In this episode, Barry and Lora investigate the strange case of Dolly Oesterreich.

In 1153, an extraordinary event occurs in a picturesque English village. Two children suddenly appear... as if by magic.

But just what might be behind the children's bizarre appearance? And, furthermore, where have they come from? Could they really be visitors from a mythical realm, or might there be another explanation? In this episode, Barry and Lora explore the legend of the Green Children of Woolpit.
