The stories of when my grandfather's spirit visited me as a child. A disturbing educational short film about railroad safety. Some of the best horror movies from the 1960s.

Episode 216 brings all of the spooky from fiction, to truth, to somewhere in between.

It begins with an educational short film, sure to give kids nightmares. The Finishing Line, released in 1977, is a British film that highlights the dangers of playing on railroad tracks. How do they do this? By turning it into a disturbing Game of Thrones style massacre where the players don't win, they just survive.

We move on to love from beyond the grave. As a small child, I was visited on numerous occasions by the spirit of my grandfather, who had passed more than a decade before I was born. It was a part of a creepy but all too real time in my family. Now I share all of the details from all of the stories straight from the mouths of those who were there.

The new Top 5 looks at some of the best horror movies from the 1960s. These are some of the most influential and highly regarded films ever. Which is your favorite?

There is, of course, a brand new This Week In History and Time Capsule centered around the very first World Series in Major League Baseball.
