It seems the more our maps of the known world get filled in, the more we crave mysterious locations full of strange creatures. Enter Colin Dickey, cultural historian and tour guide of the weird.

Sometimes, the questions can be more interesting than the answers. The Search in Extraterrestrial Intelligence [SETI] has recently hotted up, with a whole new wave of research going to show that we will always be fascinated by what we don't understand. Was 'The Wow Signal' a radio transmission from deep space? Or was it the resonating frequency of a passing comet? Often, it can feel as if professional explainers of all stripes want to put an end to anything mysterious in life.

The world is not what we think it is. The individuals whose experiences you are about to hear know that only too well, since nothing in their lives had prepared them for their encounters with things that are not supposed to happen - but did! Events like these remain hidden because those they happen to are afraid to speak out of a natural reluctance to have their sincerity or sanity questioned. Societies define their own realities and those who challenge them do so at their own peril. The moral seems to be that where these kinds of events are concerned, ignorance is the best policy.

Discover some of the most captivating mysteries of all time. Humanity has come so far and explored so much. As a species, we have more, or less conquered the entire Earth and all of its resources. We have built towering structures, intricate systems, and settled everywhere - from the tallest peaks to the deepest valleys. We have now entered what many like to think of as the enlightened, scientific era - where old superstitions and fears have been abolished, and the mysteries of the past have been solved. Basically, many of us like to think we have figured it all out.

Story
I'm a 64-year-old retired lawyer and former Assistant Attorney General with an unusual story to tell. Every word of it is true. It happened in a state park known as Devil's Den. For fear of losing my job and damaging my reputation in the legal community, I never spoke about the incident. If it hadn't happened to me, I'd be skeptical too. In 1977, I was an active duty NCO in the USAF. A friend and I planned a two-night camping trip to explore the wilderness. We drove deep into the forest until we came to a high plateau. There on the horizon sat a perfect triangle of three very bright stars....

It's argued that the recent search for Bigfoot officially began on September 21, 1958, when journalist, Andrew Genzoli of the Humboldt Times, featured a letter from a reader about loggers in Northern California concerning large footprints they'd found at a work site. What began as a fun article turned into an almost instant national sensation and since stories of the elusive creature have poured in, not just from California and the Pacific Northwest, but from around the world.

Publisher's Summary
In every corner of this earth there are secrets. They are hidden in the dark edge of the woods, nestled in the cold stars, and staring out from a stranger's eyes. And whether they be demonic possession or an unsolved murder, the unknown has always haunted our dreams.
From the hit podcast Unexplained comes a volume perfectly crafted for the curious, the cynical, and the not-easily frightened. Richard MacLean Smith is the expert in the unknown and humbly offers up 10 tales of real-life events that continue to evade explanation. With these chilling stories comes the missing key: a connection to our own beliefs in science, superstition, and perception.
What can a case of demonic possession teach us about free will? What can a cursed box show us about the act of storytelling? What can a supposed instance of reincarnation tell us about developing a concept of the self?
Perhaps some things are just better left unexplained....

I don't know who this narrator is, but he's like the UK version of David Lynch's voice. Unpleasant to listen to. I've decided to read the text on my own and hear MacLean Smith's voice in my head.

Something is wrong with the narration.
Tl/dr: I mean, just listen to the sample and tell me that something doesn't sound right?
First off, I absolutely LOVE this podcast. I was waiting, literally counting down the days for its release. When I finally got it, I was so disappointed with the disjointed narration. I couldn't even finish the 1st chapter. And I eventually returned the purchase...
Its almost as if the producers tried to cut the silence in the pauses between every word,, and every sentence.
Its very "jarring".
There is zero flow to the narration. It almost sounds like a replay of a bad "text to speech" computer program. He emphasizes words that should be emphasized and reads as if he has no idea where anything is going...
Which is crazy - because the author and podcast creator RMS has an amazing voice and would have done a much better job narrating. Hell..., I could do a better job, and I'm not exaggerating.
Hopefully they can "re-do" the audio... but until then, support the podcast...but don't buy this book until it's fixed.
And I dont even blame the audiobooks narrator, I've heard him on other audiobooks, and he sounds completely different - and most importantly.... listenable.
Don't know what happened. Please fix it Audible.

Brutal
His podcast is one of the best I have ever found, just well written and extremely intriguing. One of the best parts of the podcast is the narration, I could only listen to about 5 minutes of this book. I’ve listened to about 45 books on this app and this is the worst I’ve ever heard. It’s a shame because I’ve been waiting for years for this book to finally listen to it, and the end result is disappointing.

Why not use the original recording?
I'm completely baffled by this release. I've been a fan of Unexplained since the first season of the podcast and was extremely excited for the audio book version of his first book. After waiting nearly a year after the UK release I was stunned to hear this version, narrated by a completely different person. The version available on Audible in the UK is narrated by Richard MacLean Smith himself, with his music as well as added sound effects and voice actors. The version we're made to suffer through in the US sounds like a disinterested uncle trying to get his nephews to fall asleep. Don't buy this version if you're a fan of Unexplained the podcast. Actually just don't buy this version at all. Buy a print or ebook version of the book and do your best to get your hands on a copy of the real audiobook recording.

Disappointed
The narration in this book is horrible and it makes some interesting stories very flat and uninteresting. There is nothing new in this book if you are familiar with cryptozoology or the paranormal. I was really hoping for obscure cases that I hadn’t heard of already so this was a let down. Additionally, the author shares his social justice views on some of these topics and it just isn’t the right place or time. Pass on this one, listen to the “Bedtime Stories” podcast instead.
