About The Podcast

Welcome to The Layton Files, a podcast dedicated to stories of the strange and unexplained.

Each week, we explore encounters with mysterious creatures and cryptids from around the world. From shadowy figures in the woods to creatures hiding in the deep, and unknown beings spotted on lonely roads, these are the stories that blur the line between myth and reality.

Some tales come from listeners, others are unearthed from forgotten archives and ancient folklore. But all share a single truth: the unknown is closer than you think.

If you have a story to share, we'd love to hear it. Step into the mystery with us.

About the Host

Leon Layton

Host of The Layton Files

I’m Leon Layton, a former radio broadcaster who is now the voice behind The Layton Files.

I’ve explored the shadows for years, digging through forgotten files, first-hand reports, and legends most are too afraid to believe.

The layton Files is more than a podcast. It’s a vault. A growing record of what lurks just beyond the treeline, creatures, whispers, and sightings that refuse to be silenced.

I created this show not to sensationalise but to document and to give space to real people and encounters with the unknown.

If you’ve witnessed something you can’t explain… step forward.

The files are open. The light is dim. And I’m always listening.
