  We show that, in the presence of bulk masses, sterile neutrinos propagating
in large extra dimensions (LED) can induce electron-neutrino appearance
effects. This is in contrast to what happens in the standard LED scenario and
hence LED models with explicit bulk masses have the potential to address the
MiniBooNE and LSND appearance results, as well as the reactor and Gallium
anomalies. A special feature in our scenario is that the mixing of the first KK
modes to active neutrinos can be suppressed, making the contribution of heavier
sterile neutrinos to oscillations relatively more important. We study the
implications of this neutrino mass generation mechanism for current and future
neutrino oscillation experiments, and show that the Short-Baseline Neutrino
Program at Fermilab will be able to efficiently probe such a scenario. In
addition, this framework leads to massive Dirac neutrinos and thus precludes
any signal in neutrinoless double beta decay experiments.
