Stories Lost

A truck driver has a strange passenger sitting beside him. She says something in her head has stopped working—and she has brought another one for him to fit.This week on Stories Lost, we return to Short Cases with five unusual encounter accounts from Japan, Sweden, Denmark and Finland. The theme is Almost Human: familiar faces and human shapes that become stranger the closer the witnesses look.A woman beside a Swedish road whose body seems to give way under a man's hand. Two tiny, faceless figures gesturing beside a drain in Denmark. A visitor outside a Finnish cottage who looks like a friend—until that friend is seen sitting inside. Beings that appear to be thawing in the cold. And a passenger in a Japanese truck who needs help replacing her own head.🔹 Carl-Axel Jonzon's encounter in Avesta🔹 The small, ribbed figures known as the Nivå mummies🔹 Pekka's familiar-looking visitor in Kuusamo🔹 Hannu and the melting figures of Koskenkorva🔹 Yuji Fukuda's extraordinary account near Uno Port🕰 Chapters00:00 – A Passenger with a Spare Head00:44 – Almost Human: Five Short Cases01:31 – The Woman by the Road — Avesta, Sweden03:10 – A Body Like Rubber04:57 – The Nivå Mummies — Denmark07:39 – The Stranger Who Looked Like a Friend — Kuusamo09:28 – The Face Begins to Change11:27 – The Melting Figures — Koskenkorva15:16 – Hannu Describes His Encounter16:13 – The Passenger in the Truck — Japan, 197419:03 – Three Yellow Buttons19:17 – Replacing Her Head21:27 – The Missing Twenty Minutes22:39 – Five Encounters, Familiar Shapes23:45 – Outro and Thanks24:15 – Members and PatronsThis episode follows the witnesses' accounts as preserved in reports and interviews.

A Russian World War II veteran said he was taken aboard a strange craft—and sent home with a warning that its occupants would have to destroy humanity.Leonid Glushko was a retired teacher and school principal living in southern Russia. One day, while cutting grass for his goats, he noticed a light approaching across the sky. What he described next would stay with him for the rest of his life.Using excerpts from the 2009 interview with Leonid and his wife Valentina, we follow his account of three unfamiliar figures, a journey inside a silver sphere, and the illness that followed his return. Valentina never saw the craft, but she remembered what happened when her husband came home.What do you think happened to Leonid in that field?

A figure appears on a closed kitchen door.Two towering strangers glide beside a group of boys.And a visitor by the water asks a man to return the following afternoon.This week on Stories Lost, Short Cases, we explore three unusual humanoid encounters from the Nordic archives, all reported in Sweden.During the Christmas holidays of 1942, Erland Thorander was waiting for his father when a strange object appeared above the marsh outside their home. Then a figure took shape on the kitchen door—and its eyes seemed to follow him.In 1968, Benny Magnusson and his friends encountered two towering figures near an abandoned mining area. When one of the boys lost his glasses, Benny stopped to help. Looking up, he found himself meeting a gaze he would remember for decades.And in January 2008, a man we call Miguel reported meeting a visitor named Horos beside a bay north of Stockholm. The stranger spoke fluent Spanish, arranged a second meeting, and gave him a message to take to church leaders.🔹 A strange cloud above a frozen marsh🔹 A figure on a door whose eyes seem to move🔹 Two beings in white, carrying rectangular cases🔹 A lost pair of glasses and an unforgettable gaze🔹 Horos, underwater bases, and an appointment at the shore🕰 Chapters00:00 – The Boy at the Window01:30 – A Book from Stories Lost02:40 – Erland Thorander — Sweden, 194203:47 – The Figure on the Kitchen Door06:24 – The Giants by the Mine — 196807:53 – The Figures Follow the Boys08:26 – Face to Face with a Stranger09:28 – The Friends Who Remembered11:48 – Horos: The Visitor Beside the Bay — 200813:31 – The Visitor Approaches14:09 – A Voice in Fluent Spanish16:05 – Returning for the Appointment16:39 – Bases Beneath the Sea17:08 – A Message for Church Leaders18:19 – Photographs of the Shore18:41 – Contacting UFO-Sweden20:13 – The Email from Washington20:51 – What Remains of the Account22:08 – Three Encounters, Three Lasting Impressions23:00 – Which Moment Stays with You?23:27 – Outro24:03 – Members and PatronsThis episode follows the witnesses’ accounts as published in Swedish UFO reports, including Håkan Blomqvist’s follow-up with Miguel.

An invisible barrier.A stranger who vanishes.And a question: “Do you want to see girls?”This week on Stories Lost, we travel west of Moscow to the strange case of Vladimir Bogachev, who claimed that a fishing trip on June 28, 1980, led to an encounter with people he could not always see.A towering stranger appears in a field. Three girls walk through a picture suspended over the countryside. Then an unseen hand leads Bogachev into a brightly lit room, where unfamiliar men tell him he will remember nothing afterward.For roughly six months, he said, he didn’t. The memories returned only after he did something the visitors had specifically forbidden.But that’s only part of the story.🔹 An invisible obstacle that makes him ill🔹 A stranger who disappears and returns in green🔹 Three girls speaking an unknown language🔹 Nine red stars above a control panel🔹 A warning, missing memories, and a telephone number🕰 Chapters00:00 – “Do You Want to See Girls?”01:45 – The Testimony in the Soviet Archives02:43 – The Invisible Barrier — 197903:38 – The Noise Above the River04:47 – The Stranger in the Field05:25 – The Man in the Green Suit06:04 – Three Girls in a Meadow07:13 – Led by an Invisible Hand07:59 – Inside the Brightly Lit Room09:16 – The Men Behind the Curtain09:56 – “You Will Remember Nothing”10:25 – Three Hundred Ships on Earth11:51 – Collapse on the Way to the Bus12:30 – The Memories Return13:22 – Returning with His Family15:14 – Burned Grass and the Investigation16:31 – Dowsing Outlines and Physical Traces18:04 – Varlamov’s Later Claims19:09 – Memory and Missing Evidence20:07 – Felix Zigel’s Interpretation21:55 – If They Called You22:53 – Outro23:10 – Members and PatronsThis episode follows Bogachev’s account, recorded by engineer Z.

The Visitors Who Showed Him His FutureIn the summer of 1954, 18-year-old Osmo Leino claimed that three strangers entered his family’s temporary home outside Turku, Finland. They seemed to know who he was—and they brought a small machine that appeared to show him images from his own future.One of those images, Osmo believed, showed how he would die.This week on Stories Lost, we follow one of Finland’s strangest forgotten encounter stories. It begins with a low-flying object that nearly struck Osmo and his younger brother, and continues with two extraordinary nighttime visits involving mysterious technology, apparent telepathic communication, and predictions of events that had not yet happened.Before leaving, the visitors gave Osmo one final instruction: he was not to speak about them for twenty years.When he eventually published his account in 1977, Osmo claimed that several of their predictions had already come true.But what about the final one?Chapters00:00 The Final Picture04:01 The First UFO Encounter07:05 The Visitors Arrive09:13 The Machine That Showed the Future14:29 The Telepathic Experiment18:01 The Visitors Return21:38 The 20-Year Secret23:41 Osmo’s Later Experiences27:40 A Strange Dream29:30 Osmo’s Final Years31:19 What Really Happened?SourcesOsmo Leino’s published 1977 account.Minna Hivonen, Ultra, 2004 — based on Osmo’s account, their friendship, conversations and correspondence.Tapani Koivula — later writings and interviews concerning Osmo Leino.Juhan Avgrand, Visitors from Space, 1992 — Finnish television documentary featuring Osmo discussing his experiences.👍 Like, comment, and subscribe if you enjoy forgotten casework and strange accounts of the unexplained.https://www.adlibris.com/sv/bok/nattgrim-9789189966215👽 Support the channel:https://www.youtube.com/@storieslosthttps://buymeacoffee.com/storieslostThank you for watching Stories Lost!#StoriesLost #UFOHistory #HumanoidEncounter #HighStrangeness #Unexplained #Finland #Mystery #Documentary
