Description

Unexplained is a haunting and unsettling bi-weekly podcast about strange and mysterious real life events that continue to evade explanation. A story-based show mixing spoken-word narrative, history and ideas - often to terrifying effect - that explores the space between what we think of as real and what is not; where sometimes belief can be as concrete as ‘reality,’ whatever that is… More info at www.unexplainedpodcast.com and on twitter @unexplainedpod and facebook.com/unexplainedpodcast

On this week's Night Tales, have we got a story for you. Back in 1975 in a quiet English town, a naked man is found wondering around the neighbourhood covered in blood.

Cautionary Tales - Aliens in Wilshire
2026/10/27
Cautionary Tales is one of my favourite podcasts, which I think you’ll love too if you haven’t already heard of it. So we're doing an episode swap for Halloween! Cautionary Tales is a historical podcast about mistakes and disasters from the past, and what we can learn from them today, narrated by journalist and author Tim Harford. In 1980s Britain, intricate patterns began appearing in farmers' fields—shapes pressed into the wheat by some unknown force—all under cover of darkness. What caused these crop circles?  Could it be an alien language, magnetic fields, strange weather phenomena...or one big hoax? No one could agree, until a scientist came up with a way to test what was really behind them… This is Cautionary tales, Aliens in Wiltshire. I hope you enjoy it - and you can hear more Cautionary Tales wherever you listen to podcasts… See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
