The Ilkley Moor Encounter (1987): Britain’s Creepiest Alien Photograph, Missing Time, and the Fog That Watches Back

In 1987, a routine walk across Ilkley Moor in West Yorkshire turned into one of the most unsettling and debated alien encounters in British history. A former police officer emerged from thick fog with missing time, malfunctioning equipment, disturbing visions of the future — and a photograph of a small humanoid being that experts still cannot fully explain. In this mega-episode of The Strange History Podcast, host Amy dives deep into the true story of The Ilkley Moor Encounter, exploring the eerie details surrounding the alien photograph, the unexplained time loss, the strange environmental effects, and why this case feels less like an abduction and more like an evaluation. Blending historical investigation, atmospheric storytelling, and dark humor, this episode examines whether Ilkley Moor is a natural time-slip location, a thin place between worlds, or the site of a quiet extraterrestrial encounter that never intended to be discovered. Fog, silence, and unanswered questions linger long after this story ends.
