From angelic strangers at train stations to entire villages lost to history — this episode of Cars of the Macabre explores the strange, the unsettling, and the absurdly human side of the macabre.

We start on a dark train platform, where an unexpected musician may (or may not) have been an angel. From there, we dive into the tragic story of Imber, a Wiltshire village evacuated in 1943 so American troops could train for the D-Day landings. Promised their homes back after the war, the villagers never returned — leaving behind a ghost village frozen in time.

Then it’s on to a little bit of British superstition, from childhood myths about lightning to the small, petty acts of modern life that drive us mad (and occasionally lead us to dream about meeting a moose). But beneath the laughter, there’s a darker thread: the terrifying beauty of the death cap mushroom, and how a simple lunch in Australia turned into one of the country’s most chilling murder cases.

History, folklore, and true crime blend into one unsettling mix — stories of displacement, poisoning, superstition, and fleeting grace. Because sometimes, the strangest horrors aren’t supernatural at all… they’re entirely human.
