Have you ever been lying in bed, almost asleep, when a sound made you suddenly certain you were not alone? You wait for it to happen again, hoping the silence will prove it was nothing, but the room no longer feels the same. Horror Stories at Bedtime begins in that fragile space between sleep and certainty, where ordinary nights can become impossible to forget.
Each story draws you closer to paranormal encounters, unsettling supernatural experiences and moments that feel disturbingly plausible. The tension builds through doubt rather than explanation, leaving just enough uncertainty for your imagination to keep working after the episode ends. Because when the lights are off and everything is quiet, how sure are you that the thing you once dismissed was only in your head?

9 JUL 2026 · She Texted "Leave the Door Open" - Never Came Home
A routine text at 10:00 PM - "leave the front door unlocked, Rafael will bring me home" - and a twenty-two-year-old woman never returned. Security footage shows Kimberly calmly enter Rafael's car, appear with him in an elevator at 11:00 PM, and then disappear; twelve days later police found her body with seven stab wounds. How did a normal night inside a city under lockdown end like this?
In this episode, we present the documented timeline of events, the recordings from the condominium cameras, and the details recorded by investigators as they unfolded the case. We follow what is known from the messages, footage, and forensic findings to ask whether the ordinary moments captured on camera hide the most consequential ones.
Person: Kimberly Merly Karen Mota de Oliveira
Age: 22
Person: Rafael Fernández RodrÃguez
Age: 31
Date: May 10-12, 2020
- Kimberly sent a text to her uncle at 10:00 PM on May 10, 2020 telling him to leave the front door unlocked because Rafael was bringing her home.
- Security footage captured Kimberly entering Rafael's vehicle at the curb with no visible hesitation or apparent distress.
- Condominium cameras recorded Kimberly and Rafael entering the elevator together at approximately 11:00 PM on May 10, 2020.
- The same camera recorded Rafael leaving the building alone at 1:30 AM on May 11, 2020; Kimberly does not appear on any later footage.
- When police forced entry into Rafael's apartment on May 12, 2020, the forensic report documented seven stab wounds on Kimberly's body. To listen to this podcast ad-free and access premium episodes, try our subscription with a 14-day free trial at obomedia.com.

9 JUL 2026 · She Trusted a Stranger - They Took Her Baby, Left Her Body
A pregnant woman posted in a local Facebook swap group asking for newborn items and three days later was dead; her baby was found alive while her body was recovered from a cistern in Juárez, Nuevo León. The kindness of a stranger, six hundred pesos, and a changed meeting place turned ordinary generosity into a premeditated trap - how did a visit with diapers become a murder and kidnapping?
In this episode, we recount the timeline from Mónica Segura’s May 24, 2020 Facebook post to the last confirmed signal from her phone at 4:56 p.m. on June 1, 2020, following messages, meetings, and the woman who used the name Ana Paula Covarrubias Contreras. What sequence of deliberate choices allowed a visit to a home to end with a body in a cistern and an infant taken?
Person: Mónica Segura
Age: 22
Date first post: May 24, 2020
Final phone activity: June 1, 2020 at 4:56 p.m.
Location of body: cistern in Juárez, Nuevo León
- Mónica was eight months pregnant when she posted asking for newborn items in a local Facebook swap group.
- On May 29, 2020 a woman who introduced herself as Ana Paula Covarrubias Contreras visited Mónica’s home bringing diapers, baby clothes, and 600 pesos.
- The visitor, later identified as Julie Salas, was 33 years old and had been claiming pregnancy to neighbors without visible changes.
- A second meeting was scheduled and changed from Padre Mier metro station to Cuauhtémoc station before Mónica left home on June 1, 2020.
- Mónica’s phone showed its final activity on social media at 4:56 p.m. on June 1, 2020; her family filed a missing persons report the next morning. To listen to this podcast ad-free and access premium episodes, try our subscription with a 14-day free trial at obomedia.com.

9 JUL 2026 · She Agreed to Go Alone - Buried in Her Schoolyard Five Days Later
She went to meet someone at her school and agreed to come alone - a seventeen-year-old who almost never left home without her cousin. Five days later Allison Andrea Calderón Hidalgo was found buried in the Liceo Fray Luis Beltrán courtyard; who inside that building arranged for her to be alone and why were the school’s own pipes suddenly flooding during the search?
In this episode, I tell the sequence of events from the morning Allison left for errands on March 20, 2016, through the discovery five days later, and trace the connections between the school caretaker’s son, the online message that asked her to come without her cousin, and the unexplained flood that kept the building empty. What changed the moment she agreed to go alone?
Person: Allison Andrea Calderón Hidalgo
Date: March 20, 2016
Location: El Bosque, Santiago
School: Liceo Fray Luis Beltrán
Suspect connection: Julio Miranda, son of the school caretaker
- Allison left home wearing a red blouse and jeans on the morning of Sunday, March 20, 2016.
- She had turned seventeen on February 26, 2016 - she was exactly seventeen at the time of disappearance.
- Miranda messaged Allison on Facebook with a time, place, and the instruction to come alone.
- The school’s pipe burst and flooded the building the week she disappeared, rendering it empty during searches.
- Allison was found buried in a courtyard corner partially covered by wooden planks five days after she vanished. To listen to this podcast ad-free and access premium episodes, try our subscription with a 14-day free trial at obomedia.com.

9 JUL 2026 · She Walked In, Never Walked Out: Fort Hood's Vanishing Truth
A twenty-two-year-old soldier entered an armory on April 22, 2020, and sixty-nine days later only parts of her were found seventy kilometers from base. Fort Hood, a post of roughly forty thousand soldiers across 160,000 acres, reported Vanessa Guillén missing on April 23 - but who saw her last and why did a single missing piece of paperwork become the first crack in the story?
In this episode, we lay out the timeline from Vanessa Guillén’s last confirmed sighting at an armory to the discovery of her remains, and follow the questions that remained unanswered by the base and by official reports: what happened inside that armory, and why was routine paperwork the first inconsistency investigators found?
Person: Vanessa Guillén
Date: April 22, 2020
Location: Fort Hood, Texas
Age: 22
Distance to remains: 70 kilometers
- Fort Hood houses roughly 40,000 soldiers across 160,000 acres.
- Vanessa was last seen entering the armory assigned to Specialist Aaron Robinson.
- Vanessa was reported missing by Fort Hood on April 23, 2020.
- DNA confirmed the remains found on July 5, 2020, were Vanessa’s.

9 JUL 2026 · She Named Him While He Was Still There: The Three-Minute SOS
In the first three minutes she sent two texts and a voice message naming her attacker while he was still in the house; those three minutes, not the violence, are the part that refuses to let go. How could a nineteen-year-old mother think clearly enough to call for help, name a person, and still be silenced before anyone answered?
In this episode, we follow the timeline of the night Citlali sent "yo," then "ayuda," then a voice message with a name, and trace the investigative turns from an early mistaken police report to the discovery that the attacker climbed over the shared wall. What had to fail-neighbors, procedures, timing-so that a three-minute SOS never received a reply?
Person: Citlali
Age: 19
Location: Xalisco, Nayarit
Date: July 2, 2017 at 00:23
Neighbor: Guillermo, age 35
- At 00:23 Citlali sent the text "yo," at 00:24 she sent "ayuda," and at 00:25 she recorded a voice message naming her attacker.
- Citlali was a 19-year-old accounting student and mother to a son aged 1.5 years.
- Initial police report claimed no forced entry and presence of beer cans; toxicology returned negative for alcohol and drugs.
- Investigators later found the rear patio door forced and footprints with small circular grid impressions leading inward.
- A section of roof tiles between the two properties had been displaced, indicating someone climbed over the shared wall. To listen to this podcast ad-free and access premium episodes, try our subscription with a 14-day free trial at obomedia.com.

9 JUL 2026 · He Lived Upstairs: How a Neighbor Stole a Nine‑Year‑Old's Life
The hallway neighbor who brought candy and claimed a municipal job was carrying a secret that forensic tests later confirmed: repeated assault on a child living under the same roof. A nine‑year‑old named Ester was found on a sidewalk less than one block from her front door-carried there by a man who had moved in just over a month earlier; what pushed him to act in broad daylight with a twelve‑year‑old witness watching everything?
In this episode, we tell the facts of that day and the circumstances that led up to it, from the family’s move during pandemic quarantine to the neighbor’s calculated access to the children. How did routines, generosity, and a false name mask weeks of abuse until a single morning ended with a child on the sidewalk?
Person: Ester
Age: 9 years old
Location: El Alto, Bolivia
Perpetrator: Zenón Manzaneda Juani (aka Alejandro)
Date of incident: July 5, 2020
- Ester was born in El Alto and was the eldest of three children, with a three‑year‑old sister and a nine‑month‑old brother.
- The family moved into a room in a shared house in April 2020 during pandemic quarantine.
- The man who carried Ester into the street had lived in the same house for just over one month.
- Three separate neighbors witnessed the man carrying Ester down the street; one twelve‑year‑old watched the entire incident in real time.
- Forensic examination described lesions consistent with repeated assault over an extended period before July 5, 2020. To listen to this podcast ad-free and access premium episodes, try our subscription with a 14-day free trial at obomedia.com.

9 JUL 2026 · Beneath the Terrace: The Father Who Vanished After Five Burials
The quiet neighborhood hid a concrete terrace under which five bodies lay buried, wrapped in blankets and sealed in black garbage bags; the father, Xavier Dupont de Ligonnès, vanished and sent warnings not to touch anything beneath the terrace. What made the crime feel ordinary until it wasn't was the family’s routine-mass every Sunday, children in private Catholic schools-and the fact that the dogs didn’t bark for weeks; how could so many warning signs go unnoticed until police broke through the concrete?
In this episode, we follow the timeline and everyday details that surrounded the Dupont de Ligonnès household, from the purchases of a twenty-two caliber rifle and silencer to the closed shutters and quiet dogs, asking how a family so publicly ordinary ended with five graves under a terrace and no father to answer for it.
Person: Xavier Dupont de Ligonnès
Date: April 21, 2011
Location: Rue Casimir Périer, Nantes, France
Event: Five bodies found under a concrete terrace
Weapons: .22 caliber rifle with two shots to the head for each victim
- Police broke through the concrete terrace on April 21, 2011, and found a mother, three children, and two dogs in the first grave, all wrapped in blankets and sealed in black garbage bags.
- The second grave under the terrace held the fourth child; every victim had been shot twice in the head with a .22 caliber rifle.
- Xavier purchased a twenty-two caliber rifle inherited from his father in February 2011, registered at a shooting range in March, and bought ammunition and a silencer.
- The four children ranged in age from 13 to 20: Arthur (20), Thomas (18), Anne (16), and Benoît (13); Arthur stopped attending work and university on April 1, 2011.
- The family’s dogs, which normally barked at visitors, were silent when a debt collector and Arthur’s girlfriend knocked on April 6, 2011, signaling something was already wrong.

9 JUL 2026 · She Walked In Calm - The Apartment Where She Vanished
She stepped off a train in Osaka carrying a single bag, calm on camera, and vanished into a rented apartment-security footage shows her last known movements but nothing afterward. The man who registered that unit used an alias and a US passport issued under a different name; how did the trail stop so suddenly, and what did cameras fail to reveal?
In this episode, we lay out the timeline from the last confirmed image of Sacchi through the days investigators tracked movements tied to the rental and its renter, asking how identity, travel documents, and two separate Osaka addresses changed the case.
Person: Sacchi
Date: February 15, 2018
Location: Osaka
Person: Jegan
Status: Last confirmed image shows Sacchi entering the vacation apartment; no footage of her leaving
- Sacchi was 27 years old and a professional interpreter who had never missed a day of work before February 16, 2018.
- Security camera footage captured Sacchi arriving at Osaka station, walking calmly with a bag, and entering the vacation apartment on February 15, 2018.
- The apartment booking was registered to the name Jegan using a United States passport and not to the alias "Jay from New York."
- Jegan entered Japan in January 2018 on a 90-day tourist visa and had no recorded employment in Japan.
- Investigators observed Jegan entering and exiting the vacation rental multiple times in the days after Sacchi was last seen; Sacchi did not appear on any camera after entering with him.

9 JUL 2026 · The Night the Garden Benches Bled: How Two Children Vanished
The benches in the garden were spattered with blood, the front door stained, and two children - ages eight and nine - were missing while three family members lay killed inside; who could enter a sleeping house without leaving a single usable trace? This episode follows the quiet Idaho family whose ordinary life became a planned nightmare and asks what the evidence left behind really reveals about the person responsible.
In this episode, we walk through the timeline from the family barbecue on May 16, 2005 to the discovery the next morning, outline the forensic details found at the scene and the six-week gap with no leads, and trace the single break that shifted the investigation toward one suspect: who had the patience and preparation to carry this out?
Person: Brenda Groene
Person: Mark McKenzie
Person: Slade Groene
Event: Family barbecue on May 16, 2005
Location: Wolf Lodge Bay, northeast of Coeur d'Alene, Idaho
- Three people (Brenda Groene, Mark McKenzie, Slade Groene) were found bound and killed by blunt force trauma consistent with a hammer.
- Two children (Dylan, nine; Shasta, eight) were missing with no ransom note, no witnesses, no fingerprints, and no DNA linking an intruder.
- Slade, thirteen, fought and crawled out through the garden and made it as far as the garden benches before being recaptured and killed; his blood was on the benches.
- The biological father (Steve Groene) was eliminated early by phone records confirming a Narcotics Anonymous meeting and a night at a relative's home.
- Security footage showed the plate of a red vehicle later identified as stolen months earlier, indicating the car had been taken well before May 16, 2005. To listen to this podcast ad-free and access premium episodes, try our subscription with a 14-day free trial at obomedia.com.

9 JUL 2026 · The Silent Birth: Stones, Secrets, and a Cheerleader's Nightmare
A backyard in Warren County, Ohio, hid a mound of stones that covered the remains of an unnamed newborn found in July 2017 - and the person who buried her was an eighteen-year-old cheerleader who told police no one knew she was pregnant. How did a pregnancy reach late stages inside a close family without anyone recognizing it, and what does the shape of that silence mean?
In this episode, we follow the timeline and the people tied to the case to understand the events of May to July 2017, the clinic visit that produced a mistaken email, and the trial outcome that left legal and emotional questions open: can the specific gaps in knowledge explain how a birth went unheard in a family home?
Person: Skylar Richardson
Date: May 7, 2017 (birth), July 2017 (remains found)
Location: Warren County, Ohio; Springboro, Ohio (house)
Status: Not guilty of murder; cause of death ruled indeterminate; sentence three years probation
Family: Parents Scott and Kim Richardson; brother Jackson Richardson; boyfriend Brandon Saylor
- Stones were found arranged on a small mound in a backyard where police discovered the newborn’s remains in July 2017.
- Skylar Richardson was 18 at the time investigators found the baby and had been born on March 9, 1999.
- Investigators determined Skylar spent approximately 30 minutes in the bathroom with the infant before burying it.
- A clinic exam in April 2017 recorded an estimated 30-week pregnancy according to the doctor who examined Skylar.
- Photographs from June-July 2017 show Skylar with a 6-7 kilogram weight gain during the pregnancy, below the typical minimum gain of 9-10 kilograms. To listen to this podcast ad-free and access premium episodes, try our subscription with a 14-day free trial at obomedia.com.
