Woman Vanishes After Riding This Swedish Ghost Train
Underneath the clean and orderly exterior of Stockholm, Sweden, lies a dark legend. It’s said that on the Stockholm metro there is one carriage totally unlike the others. Silver and mysterious, it appears at platforms during the witching hour when all transport should have ceased for the night. It’s said that any passengers foolish enough to board are never seen again. But where did the Silverpilen, or Silver Arrow as it’s known, come from? And where exactly is this ghost train taking people? It turns out there’s even more to the story than at first glance...

They Found a Creature Living in LA’s Sewers
Under normal circumstances America’s sewers should only be home to a maximum of two things; rats and, at a push, Ninja Turtles. But in 1982 in Buena Park California, a suburb of LA, a gang of teens had a terrifying encounter with something that witnesses would describe as sounding like Godzilla crossed with a gorilla. While some wrote it off as a hoax, before long dozens of townspeople reported seeing and hearing the exact same thing. But what was living underneath their city? Was it really paranormal or some kind of mass hysteria? Time for Kit and Rory to in...
The Ghost Rockets of 1946
In the summer of 1946, people across Sweden began witnessing strange fiery objects fall from the sky and crash to earth. When locals gathered at the sites of impact, they discovered that in the middle of each smouldering crater was… nothing. No debris. No wreckage. It was as if nothing had crashed at all.

When UFOs Invaded New York - Hudson Valley UFO Incident
UFOs descending on Manhattan island seems hard to believe but that may be what the aliens had planned when in the 1980s there were hundreds of UFO sightings in New York State, centering on areas like Hudson Valley only a few miles upstate. Many of these sightings came together to comprise one of the most astonishing and well-reported UFO phenomena in US history. But is there enough evidence to convince the skeptics that humanity was really visited by outsiders? Kit Grier Mulvenna and Rory Powers are on the case.

The Haunted Austrian Castle Where They Hunted Werewolves
When we think of ‘witch trials’ we often think of Salem and the East Coast of the USA, a dark and morbid chapter of paranormal history.

The Omen - The Most Cursed Movie Production of All Time?
When The Omen premiered in 1976 it caused a stir globally. While continuing the legacy of recent supernatural horror movies like Rosemary’s Baby, and The Exorcist, it almost went a step further by depicting the anti-christ himself in the character of little Damien. Religious leaders were worried that depicting the anti-christ and his work would invite chaos and destruction — and they weren’t wrong — the movie production would become one of the most disastrous and infamous with several deaths linked to what would eventually be known… as the curse of The Omen.
