Scoff and Wonk talk about the well-known novel and film "Follow the Rabbit-Proof Fence", the true story of three Indigenous Australian girls who escape from a government settlement and trek over 1,600 kilometers home by using the rabbit-proof fence as a landmark to follow (1931).
Scoff and Wonk discuss the much-debated case of Natalya Demkina, a Russian woman who claims to have special vision which allows her to look inside the human body. Even after she has undergone many tests in many countries, we are still no closer to having an answer as to what exactly is going on (2003).
Scoff and Wonk dive into the mind-boggling case of Zephany Nurse, a teenager who spent the first 17 years of her life believing that her kidnapper was her birthmother until a selfie with her new friend revealed that they were actually sisters (2015).
Scoff and Wonk talk through the experiences of Tim and Alex Foley, Canadian brothers who suddenly discover that their parents are Russian spies when the FBI comes bursting into their home one evening (2010).
Scoff and Wonk examine the case of Lydia Fairchild, a woman who was caught fighting to prove that the children she had birthed were her own, even though multiple DNA tests appeared to prove that they were unrelated. The explanation for this medical mystery is truly inconceivable - she was diagnosed with a rare condition known as Chimerism, as her body contains not one but TWO different sets of DNA (2006).
Scoff and Wonk dive into the famous case of the Enfield Poltergeist, one of the most debated cases of poltergeist activity in history, and the inspiration behind the film "The Conjuring 2" (1977).
Scoff and Wonk retell the miraculous story of Colton Burpo, a child who to this day maintains his claim of having visited Heaven and come back again. This famous case, having never been fully explained, remains open to interpretation and is also the inspiration behind the bestselling novel and film, "Heaven is For Real" (2003).
Scoff and Wonk retell the jaw-dropping story of the Tongan Castaways, 6 boys who ended up marooned on an uninhabited island (much like the group of boys from William Golding's famous novel, Lord of the Flies). Instead of ensuing violence, betrayal, and chaos, however, this true event turns into an inspiring case of teamwork, perseverance, and survival (1965).
Scoff and Wonk examine the case of the Kuykendall phone stalker, the true horror experience of 3 families harassed and threatened by an unnamed stranger who seemed to know and see everything that happened in their households. And if that wasn't already bad enough, this stalker also had total control over everyone's cellphones...even while they were turned off (2007).
Join Scoff and Wonk in this special season finale where they examine three cases of crazy coincidences which led long-lost family members to be reunited. Here's the twist though...one of these stories is made up! Can Scoff guess which one of these stories is the fake one?
