After spending some time in Southern California on the last episode, we now turn our attention to that great Midwestern metropolis that is Chicago, and some of the truly bizarre stories therein. Sure, you've probably heard of Resurrection Mary, but do you know the Hunger Underground? What about the Leaper, seen in the western suburbs as well as in parts of Pennsylvania? For our first ever Chicago-based show, things get all kinds of weird, in the best way.
