Tonight we’re stepping into the cemetery, where the silence isn’t always as peaceful as it seems.

In this episode of Bizarre Bedtime Stories, we’re exploring creepy cemetery encounters, unsettling experiences among the graves, and stories that make you wonder what might be lingering long after the living have gone home.

From strange happenings after dark to eerie encounters that defy explanation, these tales remind us that some places hold a darkness that’s difficult to put into words.

So settle in, get comfortable, and let the quiet of the graveyard surround you.

New Orleans is full of dark history, but few stories are as disturbing as the one behind the name Madame Delphine LaLaurie.

Behind the doors of one of the city’s most infamous mansions, rumors of cruelty, torture, and unimaginable horrors would eventually expose a side of New Orleans society that was far darker than anyone wanted to believe.

 When a fire broke out at the LaLaurie mansion in 1834, what was discovered inside shocked the city and left behind a legacy of horror that continues to haunt the French Quarter.

In this episode of Wee...

There’s something unsettling about mirrors, especially when you’re standing in a dark room, staring at your own reflection, and suddenly becoming a little too aware of how strange it all is. You move, it moves. You blink, it blinks. But what if, just for a second, it didn’t?

Tonight, we’re getting into creepy stories involving mirrors. The kind that make you question what someone really saw, what was standing behind them, and why a simple reflection can suddenly become something you don’t want to look at anymore.


Maybe it’s the way a re...

Deep in the heart of New Orleans, where the dead are never truly forgotten and the line between the sacred and the supernatural begins to blur, one woman became a legend unlike any other.

Marie Laveau. The Voodoo Queen of New Orleans.

A woman surrounded by whispers of powerful rituals, gris-gris, spiritual healing, mysterious ceremonies, and a reputation that reached far beyond the streets of the French Quarter. She was a mother, a Catholic, a respected spiritual practitioner, and one of the most fascinating figures in New Orleans history. But where does the real Marie Laveau...

The national parks are known for their breathtaking landscapes, towering trees, and miles of untouched wilderness. But when the sun disappears behind the mountains and the woods fall silent, the beauty of these places can take a much darker turn.

Tonight, we’re heading deep into America’s national parks to explore the strange, unsettling, and downright terrifying stories hidden among the trees. From unexplained disappearances and eerie encounters to things lurking in the wilderness that defy explanation, these are the kinds of stories that make you question what might be hiding just beyond the reach of your flas...

What if the people who experience the strangest things aren’t looking for attention… they’re simply trying to understand what’s happening to them?

This week on Weekly Bizarre, we’re heading to California and into the unusual world of Daphne Minx and her home, Vortex29.

Daphne has spent years embracing the strange, creating a space where people could feel accepted, explore the unexplained, and share experiences that might sound unbelievable to everyone else. But behind the warmth and openness of Vortex29 were stories that were anything but ordinary.

Unexplained activity. Strange encounters. And yes… e...

Step right up.. if you dare..

The lights are glowing, the music is playing, and somewhere beneath the laughter and carnival games, something feels terribly wrong.

Tonight on Bizarre Bedtime Stories, we’re heading into the dark side of the carnival, where the attractions are unsettling, the people are stranger than they seem, and the stories lurking behind the midway are enough to make your skin crawl.

From disturbing encounters to deeply unsettling tales, these stories will make you think twice about what might be waiting behind the next tent flap. Because so...

Before Dracula became one of the most recognizable figures in horror, there was Bela Lugosi.

In this episode of Weekly Bizarre, we’re diving into the strange, fascinating, and heartbreaking story of the man behind the cape. From his rise from Hungarian stage actor to Hollywood icon, to becoming forever linked with Dracula, Lugosi’s life took some very dark turns.

Fame, addiction, typecasting, lost opportunities, and a final chapter far removed from the glory of his Dracula days—Bela Lugosi’s story is every bit as haunting as the character that made him famous.

Bec...

March 1, 1950.

A small church in Beatrice, Nebraska. A choir rehearsal. Fifteen people expected to be there.

But something was wrong.

One by one, each person was delayed. Strange little circumstances kept them away from the church that night—circumstances that seemed completely ordinary at the time.

Then something happened inside the church that would leave the town searching for answers.

Was it coincidence? Divine intervention? Or something far more unsettling?

Tonight, we’re stepping into one of the strangest mysteries in Nebraska history—where fifteen people were supposed to be...

Some books are better left unopened… and some libraries are better left unexplored.

For the first time ever, I’m bringing Bizarre Bedtime Stories to the podcast

Tonight, we’re stepping into the shadows of the library—where the silence feels a little too heavy, the aisles seem to stretch forever, and not every story waiting on the shelves was meant to be read.

From eerie encounters and unexplained sounds to mysterious books, strange figures, and things that shouldn’t be hiding between the stacks, these are scary library stories that will make you think twic...

There are stories you listen to…

And then there are stories you wish you had never found.

Tonight, we’re opening the door to NoSleep—a place where the things hiding in the dark don’t always stay on the other side of the screen.

People who saw something they were never supposed to see.
Places they should have never entered.

And things in the darkness that definitely weren’t human.


Maybe these are just stories.

Maybe.

So if you’re listening alone tonight, ask yourself...

The final chapter is here.

For our last episode in the Presidents & UFOs series, we’re bringing the story into the modern era — covering George H. W. Bush, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, and Barack Obama.

By now, you might think we’ve uncovered just about everything.

We haven’t.

From strange sightings and military encounters to government investigations, classified programs, whistleblowers, and the growing pressure for the truth about UFOs to finally come out, the closer we get to the present day, the stranger the story becomes.

And then th...

Four presidents. Decades of UFO sightings. And a whole lot of questions that still don’t have answers.

In Part 3 of our Presidents & UFOs series, we’re diving into Nixon, Ford, Carter, and Reagan—and some of the stories surrounding their administrations are downright bizarre.

A mysterious object reportedly seen by a future president. Strange encounters that made their way into official records. Government insiders making shocking claims. And whispers of information that may have been kept far away from the public.

But the biggest question is this:

How much did the preside...

The rabbit hole continues…

In Part 2 of our Presidents & UFOs series, we’re diving into three administrations surrounded by some of the most intriguing UFO stories and conspiracy theories in American history: Dwight D. Eisenhower, John F. Kennedy, and Lyndon B. Johnson.

Did Eisenhower secretly meet with extraterrestrials? What really happened at Holloman Air Force Base? Why do conspiracy theories connect JFK to UFO disclosure—and even his assassination? And what happened at Malmstrom Air Force Base, where nuclear missiles mysteriously went offline while military personnel reported strange objects nearby?

From alleged secret meetings and class...

What if the UFO cover-up goes back much further than RoswelI?

In this first episode of our new series, we’re going all the way back to the beginning and looking at the UFO mysteries, government secrecy, and conspiracy theories surrounding the presidencies of Franklin D. Roosevelt and Harry Truman.

What was happening behind the scenes during WWII? What did the government allegedly know about strange objects in the sky? And why does Truman’s presidency become such a fascinating chapter in the history of UFO secrecy?

We’re kicking off a journey through the pr...
