Creep Cottage

This episode is a full-course alien buffet—served with extra brain sizzle and a suspicious side of government denial. We kick things off in the sun-blasted California desert with George Adamski’s platonic date with a Venusian in a crushed velvet jumpsuit (allegedly). Then, it’s on to a remote mountaintop in Papua New Guinea, where a Catholic priest and 38 schoolchildren casually wave at a glowing spacecraft like it’s the goddamn ice cream truck.

You want trauma? Try Terry Lovelace’s peaceful camping trip that somehow ended in missing time, mysterious implants, and possibly the creepiest telepathic handshake of all time. We also stop by Falcon Lake, where a man literally got grilled by a UFO and left with a bingo-card pattern of burns. Oh, and of course—we HAD to throw in the Kentucky Hopkinsville goblin siege, where a family fought off glowing little gremlins like it was a redneck Siege of Helm’s Deep.

Aliens. Fireballs. Space pancakes. And the kind of cosmic drama only Creep Cottage can bring you.

You’re gonna want to keep your tinfoil hat strapped on tight for this one.

What do a 1938 radio broadcast, a secret government UFO task force, and a playground full of terrified Zimbabwean schoolchildren have in common? They all left humanity asking the same question: Are we alone… and do they have a lesson plan?

In this jam-packed kickoff to Phase 5, Oliver and Camilla (your favorite intergalactic abductors) crack open the most unsettling chapters of UFO lore. First, it’s off to the Cold War skies, where Project Blue Book tried—and failed—to explain away America’s most mysterious sightings. Then, we time travel to the War of the Worlds radio panic, which convinced thousands that the Martians had landed. And finally, we land in Zimbabwe, 1994, where 60+ children witnessed beings not of this Earth—and never forgot them.

Skeptics beware. Eyewitnesses abound. And this is only the beginning.

Creep Cottage is a genre-bending audio experience that blends comedy, horror, and genuine curiosity into something wholly unique. Hosted by Oliver Rose alongside cohosts Camilla Aston and Kit Mizrachi, the show unfolds in carefully structured “phases,” each capturing a different tone and thematic obsession — from unsolved disappearances to supernatural urban legends. Listeners are treated to in-depth narrative stories, surreal bonus episodes, psychologically twisted “Final Thoughts” breakdowns, and the fan-favorite Battle of the Beasts segments, where cryptids and monsters are pitted against each other in delightfully unhinged debates. What sets Creep Cottage apart is not only its creativity, but its ability to shift between the hilarious and the haunting without ever losing its voice.

Oliver’s sharp storytelling and dry wit provide the backbone of the show, while Camilla’s vibrant energy and Kit’s chaotic charm round out a dynamic trio that feels effortlessly organic. With moments that are equal parts terrifying and tender, Creep Cottage thrives on its commitment to atmosphere — often framed by immersive sound design, original lore, and recurring themes like memory loss, cosmic horror, and small-town mystery. It’s not just a podcast; it’s a haunted house you come back to, one episode at a time. Whether you’re a newcomer or a longtime listener, Creep Cottage welcomes you in — and promises you probably won’t leave the same.

5 haunting tales echo in the halls of Creep Cottage, a mixed bag of victims found and never recovered. A highlighted fan submitted story talks about a local crime that took place in the town where I currently reside. Unfortunate cases of missing children, teenagers, and adults show us that nobody is safe.

Today on Creep Cottage, Oliver riddles his episode with holes and questions, discussing various unrelated stories. A viral video and the events that unfolded after created a wide net of conspiracies about a possible missing person. In another case, a man simply vanishes from within a bar while out drinking with friends.

These bizarre cases chill to the bone with impossible-to-believe situations, and even more impossible outcomes. Listen along to hear a child disappearing on a bike ride and an insane survivor of the infamous Lynyrd Skynyrd plane crash.

Oliver promised ocean horror and delivered with these chilling missing persons tales from the infinite deep of the Bermuda Triangle: a loosely defined section of the Atlantic Ocean outlined by Miami, Florida, Puerto Rico, and Bermuda. Tales of eerie lights, aliens, and missing ships/aircraft fill today's episode as Oliver dips his toes in the chilling waters of fear and uncertainty.
