Mysteries at Bedtime

A child who has never left Oklahoma suddenly remembers mansions, movie sets and a life in old Hollywood. He names streets, describes trips, and recalls a very specific death – all before researchers uncover the real man he claims he once was: Hollywood agent Marty Martyn. Was this an extraordinary coincidence, or a rare glimpse of reincarnation?VOT ONE MINUTE REMAINING SIGNAL AWARDSYou can get early and ad free access to this show and more here Hosted on Acast.

The Shag Harbour incident is one of the best-documented UFO mysteries in the world. On the night of 4 October 1967, at least eleven people, police among them, watched a large lit object descend from the sky and settle onto the water off the fishing village of Shag Harbour, in Nova Scotia, Canada. Fishing boats raced out, the Royal Canadian Navy sent divers down for three days, and no wreckage, no missing aircraft and no explanation were ever found. Logged in Canada's own government records as a UFO, the object has never been identified to this day.

The disappearance of Suzy Lamplugh remains one of Britain's most enduring mysteries. On 28 July 1986, the twenty-five-year-old estate agent left her Fulham office to show a house to a client she had written in her diary only as "Mr Kipper", and she was never seen again. Her car was found abandoned that night, her body has never been found, and although police would later name the convicted killer John Cannan as their prime suspect, he was never charged over her disappearance and always denied any involvement. Nearly forty years on, the questions still stand: who was Mr Kipper, and what happened to Suzy? This is the story of a young woman who vanished in broad daylight, and the mystery that has never let go.

On the seventeenth of December 1967, Australian Prime Minister Harold Holt walked into the surf at Cheviot Beach near Portsea, Victoria, and was never seen again. Despite one of the largest search operations in the nation's history, no body and no trace were ever found. Was it an accidental drowning, as a coroner would eventually rule, or something stranger: a suicide, a shark, or the extraordinary claim that Holt was a secret agent who faked his own death and slipped away aboard a waiting submarine? This is the enduring mystery of the most powerful man in the country, who went for a swim one summer Sunday and simply vanished.

Titu Singh was barely more than a toddler when he began insisting he was not who his family thought he was. He was not a little boy, he said, but a grown man named Suresh Verma, a shopkeeper from the city of Agra, with a wife, two children, and a radio shop, who had been shot dead in his own car. His family dismissed it as a child’s fantasy, until they travelled to Agra and found the shop, the widow, and the murdered man, all exactly as the boy had described. Then there were the two birthmarks on Titu’s head, which matched the entry and exit wounds recorded in the dead man’s autopsy. Investigated by serious researchers and filmed by the BBC, it remains one of the most carefully documented and most debated cases of its kind in the world. In this episode of Mysteries at Bedtime, we tell the full story, and weigh it honestly: how could a small boy know the intimate details of a murder he could not possibly have witnessed? Settle in, get comfortable, and let us tell you the story of the boy who named his own killer.VOT ONE MINUTE REMAINING SIGNAL AWARDSYou can get early and ad free access to this show and more here Hosted on Acast.
