The Basketball Star Who Vanished at Sea - BISON DELE

Tue, 07 Apr 2026 15:00:00 GMT

In July 2002, NBA champion Bison Dele sailed from Tahiti aboard his catamaran, the Hakuna Matata, with his girlfriend Serena Karlan, French captain Bertrand Saldo, and his troubled older brother Miles Dabord. On July 8, all communication ceased. Twelve days later, the boat returned to Tahiti—renamed, repainted, with patched bullet holes—and only Miles stepped off. Two months later, he tried to buy $152,000 in gold using Bison's passport. Before authorities could question him, Miles overdosed on insulin in Mexico and died without regaining consciousness. He'd confessed to his girlfriend that a fight had spiraled into three deaths, bodies weighted and thrown overboard. But FBI forensics found no evidence supporting his story. Was it murder for money, or a tragic accident gone wrong? The bodies were never found, and the Pacific Ocean keeps its secrets.

The Man Who Vanished from a Moving Bus

Tue, 31 Mar 2026 14:00:00 GMT

On a snowy December night in 1949, 68-year-old James Tedford boarded a bus in Vermont, heading home to the Bennington Soldiers' Home. Fourteen passengers and the driver saw him sleeping peacefully in his seat at the last stop before Bennington. But when the bus pulled into the station, Tedford was gone—his luggage still in the rack, an open timetable on his empty seat. No one saw him leave. No one heard the door open. He had simply vanished.

Three years earlier to the day, a college student had disappeared on a hiking trail in the same area. A year before that, an experienced hunting guide had vanished in the same mountains. This was the Bennington Triangle—a remote corner of Vermont where people seemed to slip out of reality itself.

Skeptics point to conflicting witness accounts and sightings in nearby Brandon. They note Tedford's severe depression and his statement that he "never intended to return." But how does a man disappear from a bus full of witnesses? And why has no trace of him ever been found in seventy-five years?

Did James Tedford walk into the wilderness in a moment of despair? Or did something far stranger claim him on that winter night in the mountains?

Tonight, we explore the mystery of the man who vanished from a moving bus.

Tue, 24 Mar 2026 15:00:00 GMT

In February 1978, Steven Kubacki (23) disappeared whilst cross-country skiing near Lake Michigan. His footprints led to the frozen lake's edge and stopped. Authorities concluded he'd drowned. Fifteen months later, on 5 May 1979, Steven woke up in a field in Pittsfield, Massachusetts—720 miles from where he vanished—wearing unfamiliar clothes with a backpack full of maps showing travel across multiple states. He had no memory of the missing time. Medical experts suggested dissociative fugue. Steven completed his degree, earned a Ph.D. in linguistics, became a psychologist, and has refused to discuss his disappearance for decades.

The Disappearance of Amelia Earhart: What Happened on Her Last Flight?

Tue, 24 Feb 2026 15:00:00 GMT

On 2 July 1937, the world's most famous female pilot vanished over the Pacific Ocean. Amelia Earhart and navigator Fred Noonan were attempting to circumnavigate the globe when they disappeared searching for tiny Howland Island. Her final radio transmission—"We are on the line 157 337"—came at 8:43 a.m., then silence. The United States launched the most expensive search in history, covering 150,000 square miles of ocean. They found nothing. Nearly 90 years later, the mystery endures. Did they crash and sink near Howland? Did they survive as castaways on Nikumaroro Island, where bones and artifacts have been found? Were they captured by the Japanese? In 2025, President Trump declassified 4,600 pages of government records, but the truth remains elusive. Two people flew into the blue horizon and never came back.

The Oakville Blobs Mystery: When Gelatinous Goo Rained From the Sky

Tue, 17 Feb 2026 15:00:00 GMT

On 7th August 1994, at 3 a.m., something strange fell from the sky over Oakville, Washington. It wasn't rain. It wasn't hail. It was gelatinous blobs—translucent, jelly-like masses the size of rice grains that covered twenty square miles.

Within hours, people across town were violently ill. Animals died. Officer David Lacey could barely breathe. Dotty Hearn collapsed and was hospitalised for three days.

Scientists tested the blobs and found human white blood cells and bacteria from the digestive tract. Microbiologist Mike McDowell concluded they were man-made "carrier systems."

Then all the samples vanished.

Over three weeks, the blobs fell six times. Witnesses reported military helicopters. Men from Fort Hood questioned residents. Anonymous letters claimed government experiments.

Then, in April 2025—31 years later—it happened again in nearby Rochester.

Tonight on Mysteries at Bedtime, we examine one of America's most baffling unsolved phenomena.

Joshua Maddux: The Boy Found Dead in a Chimney 7 Years After He Disappeared

Tue, 10 Feb 2026 15:00:00 GMT

On May 8th, 2008, eighteen-year-old Joshua Maddux left his family home in Woodland Park, Colorado, for a walk. He was a free-spirited young man who loved nature, music, and the outdoors. Going for walks was something he did routinely.

But this time, he never came home.

For seven years, his family searched. They checked homeless shelters, scoured campgrounds, scanned strangers' faces on the street. They held onto hope that Josh would eventually return.

Then, in August 2015, construction workers demolishing an abandoned cabin made a horrifying discovery: a mummified body crammed inside the chimney.

It was Josh. He'd been less than a mile from home the entire time. Two blocks away.

The coroner ruled it an accidental death. But the evidence didn't add up.

Josh was nearly naked, with his clothes folded inside the cabin. A breakfast bar was moved to block the chimney. And rumours swirled about a man who'd bragged about "putting Josh in a hole."

Tonight, the mystery of the boy in the chimney.

The Madman Mike Marcum Case: Time Traveller or Elaborate Hoax?

Tue, 03 Feb 2026 15:00:00 GMT

In 1995, a 21-year-old electrical engineering student named Mike Marcum called into Coast to Coast AM with an extraordinary claim: he'd built a device that could make objects travel through time.

He'd thrown a metal screw into an electromagnetic field and watched it vanish for a full second before reappearing several feet away.

Mike's ambition was bold. He wanted to scale up the device, make it big enough for a person to step through, and travel to the future to get winning lottery numbers. But he needed powerful transformers—so he stole six from a local power station, causing a massive blackout. He was arrested and spent 60 days in jail.

After his release, radio listeners sent him parts and money to build a bigger machine. In 1996, Mike announced he was 30 days from completion. Then, in 1997, he vanished.

Tonight on Mysteries at Bedtime, we investigate what really happened to "Madman" Mike Marcum.

The Vanishing of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370

Tue, 20 Jan 2026 15:00:00 GMT

On March 8th, 2014, Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 departed Kuala Lumpur bound for Beijing with 239 people on board. Less than an hour into the flight, the Boeing 777 vanished from radar screens—and seemingly vanished from the face of the Earth.

What followed was the largest and most expensive search operation in aviation history, spanning years and covering vast stretches of the Indian Ocean. But despite cutting-edge technology, international cooperation, and countless theories, the question remains: what happened to MH370?

This is the complete story of modern aviation's greatest mystery. From the last routine communication with air traffic control to the bizarre sequence of events that followed—the transponder going dark, the dramatic turn off course, the silent flight for hours into the southern Indian Ocean. We examine the evidence, the satellite data, the debris that washed ashore years later, and the heartbreaking search that consumed nations.

Was it mechanical failure? Pilot suicide? Hijacking? A catastrophic decompression? Or something else entirely? We explore every major theory, the facts that support them, and the questions that still have no answers.

Over a decade later, MH370 remains one of the most baffling disappearances in history—a modern aircraft with sophisticated tracking systems that simply ceased to exist, leaving behind only fragments, theories, and the anguished families still searching for truth.

The Enfield Poltergeist

Tue, 16 Dec 2025 15:00:00 GMT

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.

The Kelly–Hopkinsville Goblin Siege: The Night Little Green Men Came to Kentucky

Tue, 09 Dec 2025 15:00:00 GMT

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.

The Vanishing family

Tue, 18 Nov 2025 15:00:00 GMT

When a pickup truck was found abandoned on a remote Oklahoma mountain road, its doors were unlocked, wallets untouched, and a family dog barely alive inside.

Bobby and Sherilynn Jamison, and their six-year-old daughter Madyson, were gone.

Inside the truck — $32,000 in cash, phones, IDs, and a note that hinted at despair.

For years, searchers combed the wilderness with no trace… until four years later, their remains surfaced just miles away, and with them, only more questions.

Murder, accident, or something stranger?

This is the story of the Jamison family — a modern American mystery that refuses to rest.

Tue, 11 Nov 2025 15:00:00 GMT

In 1912, four-year-old Bobby Dunbar vanished beside Louisiana’s Swayze Lake. After eight desperate months, a child was found hundreds of miles away with a travelling handyman — and the Dunbars swore he was their son.

The story became a national sensation: a miracle return, a family reunited, faith rewarded.

But ninety years later, a simple DNA test exposed one of America’s most haunting cases of mistaken identity.

This episode follows the Dunbar mystery from the muddy bayous of Opelousas to a 21st-century laboratory — uncovering a century-old lie, a mother who was never believed, and the family legend that outlived them all.

Tue, 04 Nov 2025 14:00:00 GMT

In the summer of 1951, 67-year-old Mary Reeser was found almost entirely incinerated in her armchair in St. Petersburg, Florida — in a fire so strange, the FBI was called in. The walls were untouched. The clock had frozen at 4:20 a.m. And all that remained of Mary was a slippered foot, part of her spine, and a shrunken skull.

Her death would become one of the most famous unsolved mysteries in modern forensic history, sparking decades of debate over spontaneous human combustion, the wick effect, and whether science has ever truly explained what happened that night.

Circleville: The Town Terrorised by Anonymous Letters

Sun, 12 Oct 2025 15:00:00 GMT

In 1976, the small town of Circleville, Ohio, began receiving letters, hundreds of them.

Each one was anonymous. Each one accused neighbours, teachers, and officials of dark secrets. And each one carried the same eerie signature: none at all.

The anonymous writer seemed to know everything, where people worked, who they spoke to, even private affairs no one else could have known. Then came the threats, a mysterious death, and a trap wired with a gun.

When a local man was arrested, everyone thought the nightmare was over… until the letters kept coming from hundreds of miles away, even while he sat in prison.

In this episode of Mysteries at Bedtime, we revisit one of America’s most disturbing unsolved cases, a story of obsession, fear, and words that tore a town apart.

In this episode of Mysteries at Bedtime, Jack unravels the story of the Havana Syndrome, from the first reports in Cuba to its spread in China, through government inquiries, scientific studies, and a mystery that remains unsolved to this day.

Elisa Lam and the Cecil Hotel: The Elevator Video and a Vanishing

Tue, 23 Sep 2025 15:00:00 GMT

n January 2013, 21-year-old Canadian student Elisa Lam checked into Los Angeles’ infamous Cecil Hotel. Known for its dark history of crime, tragedy, and mystery, the hotel was the last place Elisa was seen alive.

When she failed to check out or contact her family, police launched a search. Two weeks later, security footage of Elisa inside a hotel elevator shocked the world. Her behaviour, pressing multiple buttons, hiding in corners, stepping in and out, gesturing as though to someone unseen went viral online.

Millions debated what the strange footage meant: was she running from someone, suffering a mental health episode, or caught in something far more sinister?

On February 19, Elisa’s body was discovered in one of the hotel’s rooftop water tanks, after guests had complained about the water supply. With no signs of trauma, an official ruling of accidental drowning, and countless unanswered questions, her death remains one of the most disturbing and widely discussed mysteries of the 21st century.

The Lead Masks Case: Brazil’s Most Bizarre Unsolved Deaths

Sun, 10 Aug 2025 14:00:00 GMT

In 1966, the bodies of two men were discovered on a remote hill outside Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. They were lying side by side, dressed in matching suits and waterproof coats.

"Be at the agreed place at 16:30. Take capsules after the effect, protect metals, await signal, mask..."

The victims, Manoel Pereira da Cruz and Miguel José Viana, were local electronics technicians with an interest in spiritualism and scientific experimentation. But there were no signs of violence, no clear cause of death, and no trace of drugs in their system.

In the quiet village of Dodleston, Cheshire, a bizarre and baffling mystery began unfolding in 1984.

On a stormy night in November 1980, 32-year-old Granger Taylor left a hand-written note for his family saying he was going on a journey “aboard an alien spaceship” and then vanished without a trace.

The Vanishing Sailor: Donald Crowhurst and the Golden Globe Race Mystery

Sun, 20 Jul 2025 14:00:00 GMT

In 1968, an amateur sailor named Donald Crowhurst set out from England in a homemade trimaran to compete in the Sunday Times Golden Globe Race—the first ever solo, non-stop circumnavigation of the globe. But what began as a bold quest for fame and fortune soon turned into one of the most baffling mysteries in maritime history.

With an untested boat, limited experience, and mounting financial pressure, Crowhurst quickly found himself in trouble. Rather than turn back and face ruin, he began faking his journey, submitting false radio reports and logbooks from the middle of the Atlantic. As other competitors dropped out, Crowhurst’s deception pushed him closer to the spotlight—and to the edge of his sanity.

Nine months later, his boat, Teignmouth Electron, was found adrift in the Atlantic. The sails were intact. Supplies were untouched. But Donald Crowhurst was gone. What investigators found in his recovered logbooks shocked the world—philosophical ramblings, dual logs, and evidence of a mind in collapse.

Was it madness? Guilt? A cosmic revelation? Or all three?

This is the true story of a man who vanished into the ocean and into legend. A tale of ambition, pressure, isolation—and the deep, unknowable silence of the sea.

Reincarnation in Scotland: The True Story of Cameron Macaulay

Tue, 15 Jul 2025 18:36:16 GMT

In the early 2000s, a young Scottish boy named Cameron Macaulay stunned his family and baffled researchers when, at just five years old, he began speaking in vivid detail about a life he claimed to have lived before. Cameron described a white house overlooking the sea on the remote Isle of Barra, a black-and-white dog, siblings, and a father named Shane Robertson. He insisted he had once lived there, even describing planes landing on a beach — an extremely rare feature of Barra’s airport.

Plagued by nightmares and an unshakable longing for his “other family,” Cameron’s emotional distress led his mother to seek help from experts in children’s past-life memories, including Dr. Jim Tucker from the University of Virginia. With the support of a documentary team, Cameron travelled to Barra, where he recognised landmarks, the white house he had drawn countless times, and local details no Glasgow child could possibly have known.

Although some facts — like the precise identity of Shane Robertson — were never fully proven, many elements of Cameron’s story matched historical records and local recollections, leaving researchers and viewers amazed. His case remains one of the most remarkable modern examples of a child claiming reincarnation memories, featuring the same consistent patterns noted in many other cases worldwide: early recall, emotional intensity, accurate details, and a sense of peace after revisiting the place connected to the memories.

In this immersive Mysteries at Bedtime episode, we explore Cameron Macaulay’s haunting story from his first nightmares to his healing journey on Barra, the psychological and scientific research behind past-life memories, and the profound questions these extraordinary cases raise about identity, memory, and what might come after death.
