About this listen

Editor's Choice in The Bookseller.

Based on the 'world's spookiest podcast' of the same name comes Unexplained: a book of 10 real-life mysteries which might be best left unexplained....

Demonic possession in 1970s Germany.

UFOs in Rendlesham forest.

Reincarnation in Middlesbrough.

Richard Maclean Smith delves into these mysteries and many more, with a supporting cast bringing to life the unexplained occurrences in this special immersive audio edition.

Based on one of the most successful paranormal podcasts ever, with over 10 million streams and downloads to date, Unexplained consists of 10 chapters focusing on a different paranormal event, from Australia to Germany, the UK to Zimbabwe, using the stories as gateways to a journey beyond the veil of the uncanny, exploring what they reveal of the human experience.

This special immersive audio edition is narrated by Richard MacLean Smith and features full cast re-creations of the unexplained events.

Taking ideas once thought of as supernatural or paranormal and questioning whether radical ideas in science might provide a new but equally extraordinary explanation, Unexplained is The Examined Life meets The X-Files.

I highly rate this audiobook . I am a lover of scientific investigation of the Supernatural. This book goes into a variety of different circumstances - a really interesting grouping of events. A mixture of impartial scientific reporting and interactive immersion and creative interpretation.

The narrator and author is extremely easy to listen to and this book is very rich and dynamic.
I highly encourage a download and listen.

Excellent Supernatural Journey

I find myself drawn to this book, wonderfully written, composed and highly researched. Richard MacLean ....... Smith ( note the pause:) ) is a natural storyteller and his interest in his subject matter shows through in the narration.
I can’t wait for another book from this author.

That’s the 15th time I have listened to this book

Some good stories told here but I felt the story telling got lost in the complex ideas and reflections at the end of each chapter.

Perhaps I was just looking for a straight to the point tell all of juicy paranormal events..

Some good stories

Richard MacLean Smith has taken his amazing podcast and brought more scary stories from his vault. Great listen and always good to have the author narrate. Would definitely recommend.

This was really cool. I especially like how varied the topics are in each section/chapter. There’s something within to enthral pretty much anyone. I enjoyed every story. The narrator was also really easy to listen to; real nice voice. Some of the tales within this compilation are quite spooky/creepy as well; as a fan of horror & all things creepy, I found this particularly intriguing. An overall great listen. :)

Amazing. I highly recommend this to anyone!
