Late-night drives are creepy enough without a blood-soaked stranger staring you down from the roadside… or something clawing around in the bed of your truck. In this episode, John and Rhys dive into a chilling 911 call from rural North Carolina, where a terrified driver reports a bloody man on the highway—then realizes something unknown has jumped into his pickup.

From there, they slam on the narrative brakes and swerve into 1980s Birmingham, where residents of Thornton Road endured years of bizarre, unexplained stone attacks. Windows shattered, roofs were battered, police hid in trees, clergy were called in, and still nobody could work out who—or what—was hurling those strangely clean pebbles.

Along the way, John and Rhys compare these uncanny cases to their own brushes with the emergency services, runaway fuse boxes, and childhood stone-throwing mischief, ultimately proposing the most scientific theory of all: kids, government labs, and a misplaced bottle of invisibility juice.

Expect creepy 911 audio, classic British tangents, dark humor, and just enough plausibility to keep you thinking about truck beds and garden stones the next time you’re out after dark.

In this episode of The Unexplainers, John and Rhys dive into one of Scotland’s strangest UFO encounters: the 1979 Dechmont Woods incident involving forestry worker Robert Taylor. They recount Taylor’s terrifying experience with a silent, hat-shaped craft, spiked rolling spheres that grabbed his trousers, and the baffling physical evidence that left police and doctors stumped—complete with ground marks, torn clothing, and no conventional explanation.

From there, the pair segue into the life and legacy of Charles Fort, the “godfather of weird” whose obsessive cataloguing of strange phenomena—rains of frogs, mysterious lights in the sky, and other “damned facts” science tried to ignore—helped shape modern paranormal investigation, science fiction, and the Fortean Times.

Sit down, get comfy… and maybe reconsider that chair. In this episode of “The Unexplainers,” John Rutledge (aka Eggsy from GLC) and Rhys Waters dive bum‑first into two delightfully ridiculous horrors: the infamous cursed Busby Stoop chair that “kills” anyone who sits in it, and Hanako-san, Japan’s legendary toilet ghost who might drag you to hell, feed you to a three-headed lizard, or just kindly pass you some toilet paper.

Expect:

• Darkly funny true crime–meets–folklore around a haunted pub chair, WWII airmen, unlucky builders, and an Indian restaurant fined for serving the wrong meat.
• A crash course in Japanese urban legends, school bathroom hauntings, and why ghosts apparently love toilets.
• Skeptical takedowns of curses, health & safety rants, and way too much discussion of terrible British school toilet paper.

If you like paranormal comedy, creepy folklore, and jokes about dying on the loo, this haunted furniture and toilet-ghost double bill is for you.
