In this episode of The Unexplainers, John and Rhys dive into two classic cases of weird lights and weirder implications. First, they explore the eerie Longdondale Lights of Derbyshire: dancing orbs inside a car, pulsing globes over Shining Clough, and decades of sightings that baffle locals, mountain rescue teams, and skeptics alike. From Bronze Age mounds to “Devil’s Bonfires,” the valley’s folklore collides with modern UFO theories and failed scientific explanations.

Then they head across the Atlantic to Shag Harbour, Nova Scotia—home to one of the most thoroughly documented government UFO investigations in history. With fishermen, pilots, and the Canadian military all involved, the case raises serious questions about what really crashed into the harbor that night.

Along the way, John compares cosmic entities to kids frying ants with magnifying glasses, Rhys brings in sci-fi parallels from Three Body Problem, and the pair somehow arrive at exploding frogs, cocaine-smuggling lobsters, makeshift flamethrowers vs. bears, and a $5,000 John Candy leather jacket. It’s equal parts paranormal deep-dive, dark comedy, and existential musing on whether we’re just the bugs in someone else’s experiment.

In this delightfully bizarre episode, the Unexplainers return from a short hiatus to tackle two cryptozoological case studies with their trademark mix of skepticism and silliness. First, they dive into a wild Bigfoot tale from Angelo Ramsey’s Bigfoot Did What?, featuring a Kentucky man, a broken-down car, a “hairy toddler” in a tree, and an elderly woman who casually babysits a family of Sasquatch that love muffins and SpongeBob SquarePants.

Then Rhys shifts to Canada’s own Loch Ness–style legend: Ogopogo of British Columbia’s Okanagan Lake. The duo unpack a 2022 photo of a strange horned shape in the water, debating whether it’s a lake monster, an upside‑down duck, a rogue dragon‑boat ornament, a decapitated moose head, or the result of an extremely unwholesome magical mishap. Along the way, they riff on grief hoaxes, paranormal coping mechanisms, and the basic “science” of goldfish turning into lake monsters.

• A real-life UFO incident over a 1950s football match complete with falling “angel hair” that sounds suspiciously like vitamins from a health shop
• The story of Nella Jones, a clairvoyant cleaner who helps Scotland Yard hunt down a stolen Vermeer using nothing but ironing, visions and sheer witchy stubbornness
• A detour through Baba Vanga, Nostradamus, Bulgarian mysticism and a man who folds pizza boxes so fast it practically counts as a paranormal event

Plus: romantic-comedy pitches about psychic detectives, slobbering dogs, and a police officer who may or may not be sexually harassed by a St. Bernard
