Questions people are asking
- What counts as a strange but true story?
- An event that actually happened to a real person but doesn't behave the way ordinary life is supposed to: an abduction that unfolds like fiction, a survival no clinician can account for, a coincidence too tight to be one. Every account in this archive comes from the person who lived it.
- Are these stories verified?
- They are first-hand accounts, recorded long-form and left largely unedited, alongside whatever documentation still exists. Bent Planet doesn't add a narrator to tell you what a story meant, and it doesn't dramatise. Some cases have explanations. Most don't.
- Who does strange but true stories on YouTube?
- Bent Planet is an interview podcast on YouTube dedicated to bizarre true stories from real people facing abnormal predicaments. New case files are published regularly on the channel.
- Where can I watch the full interviews?
- Every case file in this archive links to the complete interview, which plays here on the site or on the Bent Planet YouTube channel.
