Haunted Happenings

In 1828, medical universities in Edinburgh, Scotland were in dire need of cadavers for students to dissect. As a result, grave robbers were digging up corpses and selling them for huge sums of money. William Hare and William Burke came up with a diabolical scheme. They would murder people staying at Hare's boarding house, and sell the bodies to the universities. By the time they were caught, the two had murdered at least 16 people. Join me as I explore the chilling, true crime case of the Burke and Hare murders.

From zombies to vampires, and revenants to golems, tales of the undead have been around for thousands of years. Some cultures still believe that it's possible to turn a human being into one of the walking dead, or to create a creature out of mud and clay and give it life. Join me as I explore the mysterious, fascinating world of the undead.

In 1977, a family of five was terrorized by poltergeist activity in their home in Enfield, England. The haunting centered around a young girl named Janet Hodgson, and it was investigated by The Society for Psychical Research, newspaper and television reporters, and by Ed and Lorraine Warren. The movie 'The Conjuring 2' is loosely based on the case, but the real story is far more intriguing. Join me as I explore the terrifying true story of The Enfield Poltergeist.

This is the first of three episodes devoted to famous poltergeist cases. The things that people experience in poltergeist cases are not just things that go bump in the night. They are bizarre, often violent outbursts of paranormal activity. While some poltergeist cases go back as far as the 1600s, today’s episode is about a modern case; one that was witnessed by scores of people, and that was featured in newspaper articles and TV shows. It comes to us from Australia, and is known as The Humpty Doo Poltergeist.
