- 41 - The Cinder Lady: Did She Burn… or Combust?
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.

Tue, 14 Oct 2025 - 26min - 37 - Circleville: The Town Terrorised by Anonymous Letters
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.

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.

His sudden death fit a chilling pattern of Russian exiles in Britain meeting mysterious ends, from radioactive poisonings to nerve agent attacks. Was Berezovsky’s demise truly self-inflicted—or was it the latest chapter in a shadow war on foreign soil?

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.

Tue, 22 Jul 2025 - 23min - 12 - The Vanishing Sailor: Donald Crowhurst and the Golden Globe Race Mystery
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.

Sun, 20 Jul 2025 - 26min - 11 - Reincarnation in Scotland: The True Story of Cameron Macaulay
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.
