A council house in North London. A single mother. Two frightened children. And a haunting that exploded into one of the most documented paranormal cases in modern history.

In this episode of Mysteries at Bedtime, we revisit the Enfield Poltergeist with a calm, immersive retelling of the key events: the knocks and violent disturbances, the chilling “Bill” voice, the alleged levitations, and the investigators who believed they were witnessing something extraordinary.

But Enfield is also a case defined by contradiction. Eyewitness accounts, recordings, and media frenzy collided with claims of exaggeration and trickery. The result is a story that still divides believers and sceptics almost fifty years later.

Whether you think it was genuine, misunderstood, or something in between, Enfield remains a rare case where the mystery is the legacy.

In August 1955, a terrified Kentucky family burst into a small-town police station claiming they’d spent the night under attack from “little men” that bullets couldn’t hurt. What officers found at the Sutton farmhouse would become one of the strangest and most controversial cases in UFO history. In this episode of Mysteries at Bedtime, we head to rural Kelly–Hopkinsville to walk hour by hour through the so-called “Goblin Siege”: the glowing craft in the sky, the strange metallic creatures at the windows, the 20–plus officers who swore the family were genuinely afraid, and the investigations that followed. Were they besieged by aliens, fooled by owls, or swept up in a perfect storm of fear, folklore and bad timing? Settle in as we unpack one of the classic foundations of the “little green men” legend.

For generations, mountaineers on Ben Macdui have described the same impossible experience: the sound of slow, heavy footsteps behind them… but no one there. Some claim they saw a figure ten feet tall moving through the mist. Others fled down the mountain convinced something was pacing them on the plateau. Known in Gaelic as Am Fear Liath Mòr — the Big Grey Man — this phenomenon has baffled experts and terrified hikers for more than a hundred years. In this atmospheric deep dive, we explore the folklore, the eyewitness accounts, and the science behind one of Britain’s most haunting mysteries.
