Stories of monsters lurking within the world's oceans are nothing new, having persisted in folklore and maritime tradition for centuries. In previous episodes, including our sister series Wartime Stories, we have examined some of the most notorious examples. Yet despite centuries of exploration, the deep remains one of the least understood environments on Earth. Vast stretches of the ocean floor have never been seen by human eyes. Perhaps it should come as no surprise, then, that some still believe unimaginable things may be hiding down there, within a cold and unforgiving realm known simply as the Lair of the Leviathan.   Ollie.

In previous episodes, we have explored cases in which alleged serial killers were never identified, nor convicted of the horrific crimes they were believed to have committed. The same would prove true in the case of a modern-day murderer thought to have been responsible for the deaths of at least seven female victims in rural Japan. A killer whose disturbing and highly distinctive methods would ultimately earn him the chilling nickname, ‘The Wednesday Strangler’.   Go to https://brooklynbedding.com and use my promo code BEDTIME at checkout to get 30% off sitewide.   MUSIC Tracks used by kind permission of Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0   Tracks used by kind permission of CO.AG Learn more about your ad choices.

The North American continent is vast and often unforgiving, containing countless remote regions where visitors can all too easily come to harm. One such place lies deep within the American state of New Mexico, in a sprawling belt of wilderness situated between two immense national forests. It is a lonely and isolated landscape, harsh in both climate and terrain, where numerous people have disappeared under mysterious circumstances over the years. Many were never seen again, their souls long gone by now, but far from forgotten.

On the morning of 1st December 1987, a man walking alone across Ilkley Moor in Yorkshire claimed to encounter something he could not explain. Through the mist and silence of the moor, he reported seeing a strange, humanoid figure watching him from a distance. Acting on instinct, he raised his camera and captured a single photograph of the being before it vanished from sight. The image he produced would go on to spark decades of debate, drawing both curiosity and scepticism in equal measure. Was this fleeting encounter genuine evidence of something otherworldly, or simply a carefully constructed hoax that has endured far longer than expected?
