Sometime in the mid 1930s, a young budding bluesman appeared on the scene, suddenly possessed of a talent for playing the guitar, which he’d never shown before.
Over time a strange rumour began to spread, that the young man hadn't achieved his talent all on his own...

Unexplained is still going strong.
I can't thank every single one of you enough, who've ever taken the time to listen, subscribe, rate and engage with the show to help keep this improbable thing going.
With any luck there'll be lots more to come... 🙏👻🖤
10 years ago today, in 2016 I released the Episode 01 of Unexplained simply to have something I'd written finally exist in the world
I planned to make 10 episodes. The idea of being a podcaster was as mysterious as the stories I told.
10 years and 300+ episodes later... 1/2
I'm very excited to announce it will be a triple whammy of CRIMECON appearances this year.
I'll now also be attending @crimecon.bsky.social in the US
CRIMECON will be in Las Vegas on May 28-31
I'd love to see you there!

What if you invested so much in a new home that you were forced to stay, even if you realised that you might not be the only inhabitants?
And what if those, most unwelcome housemates proved to be more frightening than anything you could possibly imagine?

It's inconceivable that, with all our modern technology someone could appear in a populated town with no trace of who they are or where they came from
And yet, that’s exactly what happened in 2009, during one strange summer in a picturesque seaside town in the west of Ireland...

In this week’s rerun we return to Bennington, VT.

In January 1959, a story begins from out of the foothills of the Ural Mountains.
Perhaps the most extraordinary of all the stories ever featured on the show.
Some call it the Dyatlov Pass Incident.
You might know it as, When The Snow Melts...

In September 1934, something was stirring in the home of the Palazon family in Zaragoza, Spain.
What started as a strange burst of maniacal laughter, soon transformed into the terrifying haunting known today as ‘El Duende de Zaragoza’… ‘The Goblin of Zaragoza’.

Some say the MV Joyita was always cursed.
What is beyond dispute, is that on one hot day in October 1955 the ship and its 25 passengers and crew set sail on a routine journey from Samoa to the Tokelau islands.
And none of them were ever seen again.

On 15th May 1979, David Booth awoke from a terrible dream, sweating profusely with tears in his eyes.
In it, a silver plane fell from the sky and crashed right in front of him. Then he had the dream again. And again.
Soon he began to wonder, was it really just a dream?

Edward Leedskalnin embarks on his strange mission to build a vast megalithic dreamscape carved from oolite.
And soon, the rumours begin; whispers of huge stones being moved about as if freed from gravity itself, and a strange black box equipped with otherworldly powers...

In 1923, Edward Leedskalnin - sickly, and fresh from a long mysterious journey - stepped onto a patch of Florida coral.
In time, he would carve it into a place so strange that, if the whispers are true, could only have been shaped with otherworldly powers

I’ve made a number of comics related to or directly influenced by the podcast @unexplained.bsky.social over the last 3 years. Paranormal comics are so fun to write and Richard’s work on Unexplained has been a huge inspiration. Read them all for free on my website: www.amoryabbott.com/illustration

Deep in Alaska, in the ghost town of Portlock, villagers once whispered of something stalking the fog – a presence said to have left shredded camps and vanished men in its wake.
Decades later, the forest is silent, but the stories remain...

What follows is a chilling descent into fear and faith...

Weird review and poor take imo @theguardian.com
The Predator was always much more than a senseless killing machine - unlike the xenomorph for example. Film might be awful for all I know but this seems like a totally valid and intriguing extension.

And behind door #1? It's the brand new season of course...
On Halloween 2001, a bright Penn State student returned home after a night out with friends.
What happened soon after has haunted her friends, detectives, and an entire community ever since.

Behind door #2, getting close now...
The author of the Necronomicon is said to have been devoured by invisible monsters in broad daylight.
Watching the Necronomicon film alone at night when I was far too young, is perhaps the closest I've come to that terror.
