About Horror Sleep Stories

Some experiences stay with people because they are difficult to explain and even harder to forget. A strange sound in the dark, an unsettling encounter, or a night that takes an unexpected turn can become the kind of story that is repeated for years. True Nightmare Stories brings together disturbing accounts, frightening situations, and moments that leave people questioning what really happened. The podcast focuses on stories that feel close to real life, whether they involve unexplained events, dangerous situations, or fear that grows from something ordinary. Not every story offers a clear answer, and that uncertainty is often what makes the memory linger long after the moment has passed.

   The Phone Number in Her Pocket: Murder at Lorette River

   The Phone Number in Her Pocket: Murder at Lorette River A fifteen-year-old girl's body was found in the Lorette River with eight puncture wounds to her neck and lungs full of cold water, and a folded scrap of paper with a phone number survived in her pocket. That inked number traced back to a woman in Saint-Roch and became the one thread connecting a nameless body to a life - but how did a girl who was still breathing after being stabbed end up drowned in a fast, noisy river? In this episode, we tell the sequence of facts from the scene and the file: who Tanya Pinette was, what was recovered from her clothing and pockets, the condition of the riverbank, and the people investigators linked to her in the days before her death. How did the phone number, the borrowed clothes, and a fragment of a bus transfer shape the case? Person: Tanya Pinette Age: 15 years old Date: April 7, 2000 Location: Lorette River, near Lancy-et-Lorette Cause: Drowning with eight neck puncture wounds - Body found between rocks about 30 to 40 meters from where the scene was entered - Water temperature at scene approximately 5 degrees Celsius - Eight puncture wounds on the right side of the neck, each about 0.5 centimeter wide - Two of the wounds cut through the carotid artery; official cause of death recorded as drowning - Pockets contained two wet balls of paper: one with a blue-ink phone number and one fragment of a bus transfer To listen to this podcast ad-free and access premium episodes, try our subscription with a 14-day free trial at obomedia.com. © 2026 OBOMEDIA.

   Locked Jeep, Missing Woman: The Man Who Led Police to a Grave

   Locked Jeep, Missing Woman: The Man Who Led Police to a Grave A locked Jeep held every trace of Louise Ellis except Louise herself - overnight bag, purse, pajamas, bank cards - yet her bank card was used at an Ottawa ATM the next day by the man who reported her missing. How did Brett Morgan know where to look, and why was the card inside the Jeep while he stood on camera withdrawing money? In this episode, we tell the story of Louise Ellis’s disappearance and the contradictory timeline Brett Morgan gave police, showing the locked Jeep, the ATM surveillance, and the relationships that framed the case. Which part of Morgan’s story finally unraveled the mystery? Date: April 23, 1995 Person: Louise Ellis Person: Brett Morgan Location: River Road near Wakefield Officer: Sergeant Robert Pulford - Louise Ellis, age 46, was reported missing after her Jeep was found locked with her overnight bag, purse, identification, pajamas, bank cards, and a children's book inside. - Brett Morgan called Ottawa Police to report Louise missing on the morning of April 23, 1995. - Surveillance footage shows Louise’s bank card was used at an ATM in Ottawa at 2:53 p.m. on April 22, 1995, and the person on tape was Brett Morgan. - Louise had last told Brett she was driving to visit a friend, John Masinov, and left between 1:00 and 1:15 p.m. the previous afternoon. - Police searched riverbanks, brush along River Road, and used divers but initially found no sign of struggle or evidence near the locked Jeep.

   He Stole Nine Banks and Became Their Myth - Robin the Hood's Secret

   He Stole Nine Banks and Became Their Myth - Robin the Hood's Secret A man robbed nine banks across New Mexico, left tellers unaware, and inspired a city to turn him into a Robin Hood myth while investigators chased a cloud of red dye and a single license plate. How did Byron Chubbuck vanish into invisibility long enough to build a legend-and who finally named him? In this episode, we trace the timeline from December 29, 1998, when two northeast Albuquerque banks were robbed within hours, through a string of roughly six more robberies by March 1999, to the moment the FBI publicly called the suspect "Robin the Hood." What changed when a pregnant ex-wife walked into the FBI office with a name? Person: Byron Chubbuck Date: December 29, 1998 Location: Albuquerque, New Mexico Case: Robin the Hood bank robberies Status: Arrest concluded after two-year investigation - Two banks in northeast Albuquerque were robbed on December 29, 1998, within hours of each other. - Approximately six additional robberies occurred across roughly two months by March 1999. - A dye pack exploded behind a building, creating a visible cloud of red smoke that provided a vehicle description. - The vehicle registration traced to a Wyoming postal worker whose alibi was verified, leading investigators to the ex-wife Carlita. - Carlita, eight months pregnant in August 1999, voluntarily informed the FBI that Byron Chubbuck was the robber.
