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…

Unexplained

In the winter of 1923, Edward Leedskalnin, a small, sickly man, stepped out of the Florida sun and onto a patch of coral bedrock, as though he had finally reached the end of a long and mysterious pilgrimage. 
 
In time, he would carve that ground into a place so strange and improbable that—if the whispers are to be believed—could only have been built with the aid of otherworldly powers...

Season 09 Episode 01: Beneath the Moon's Pale Beams

SEASON 9 BEGINS FRIDAY OCTOBER 31ST
 
Our final journey into the archive takes us to the remote Bavarian countryside in 1922, to a lonely farmstead and the family who lived there, where something unspeakable was about to unfold. It was a place where shadows seemed to linger a little too long, and where the boundary between safety and terror proved to be as fragile as a footprint in fresh snow.
 
The word "tenebrous" means dark, shadowy, and obscure - and no word better captures what descended upon this isolated family in those final, terrifying days. 
 
What happened at their remote farm would become one of Germany's most notorious unsolved mysteries, a case so disturbing that it continues to defy explanation a century later…

UNEXPLAINED SEASON 09 TRAILER

SEASON 9 BEGINS FRIDAY OCTOBER 31ST
 
This week's rerun takes us to what to some were the unknown shores of a mysterious New World, but for others was simply home. 
 
It is the late 16th century - an age of exploration and discovery, when maps still bore the warning "here be dragons" and for ambitious Europeans the Atlantic Ocean stretched like an endless void between the known and the unknowable.
 
On a remote island off the coast of what would one day become North Carolina, brave souls sought to carve out a new life in a land that seemed to exist beyond the reach of civilisation. They carried with them hopes of prosperity and permanence, unaware that they were about to become part of one of history's most enduring enigmas…

SEASON 9 BEGINS FRIDAY OCTOBER 31ST
 
This week's rerun takes us to Egypt's Valley of the Kings in 1922, where years of painstaking excavation were about to yield one of archaeology's greatest discoveries. For centuries, the ancient burial grounds had surrendered their secrets reluctantly, but one tomb had remained hidden, lying in the darkness beneath the desert sands...
 
When that first crack of light pierced the burial chamber, it revealed wonders beyond imagination - golden treasures that had lain untouched for over three thousand years. But some believed that disturbing the eternal rest of the pharaohs came with a price, and that certain doors were never meant to be opened…

SEASON 9 BEGINS FRIDAY OCTOBER 31ST
 
What happens when ordinary people insist the familiar world around them has suddenly become something else entirely? When witnesses claim the present has slipped away, leaving them stranded in moments that shouldn't exist?
 
In the 1950s, two separate incidents in Britain left ordinary people with extraordinary stories to tell. A woman walking home alone on a winter's night would later claim she witnessed scenes that belonged to another age. 
 
While, three young cadets on a routine exercise would insist they stumbled into a world that seemed frozen between life and death...

This week's rerun takes us to a windswept island off the coast of Nova Scotia in Canada, where in the summer of 1795, three young men made a discovery that would haunt generations to come. 
 
What began as idle curiosity about a depression in the earth would ignite an obsession that has endured for over two centuries.
 
Since that fateful day, Oak Island has drawn treasure hunters, engineers, and dreamers from around the world, each convinced they can succeed where countless others have failed. But the island seems to guard its secrets jealously, and those who seek to uncover them find themselves confronting something far more complex and mysterious than they ever imagined…
