Sandra starts off this week and talks about five different scary graveyard stories from the popular Reddit website. From having a spirit accidentally follow someone home, to finding a graveyard where two school teachers may have been buried together, these stories are both spooky and fascinating.

Then, Danielle covers the Hindenburg Disaster. The Hindenburg was a Titianic-sized German airship from 1937 which was considered the pride of the Nazis. When mooring at Lakehurst, New Jersey the airship burst into flames. Both the design and the amount of hydrogen made the Hindenburg highly flammable and is a reason why airships' popularity dwindled shortly thereafter.

Hello! We are back. Daniells goes in a different direction this week. She talks about Joanna of Castile also known as Juana la Loca, the nominal Queen of Castile and Aragon. She was embroiled in a power struggle brought on by her husband and father. After her husband died, her father retained full control and she was sent to a palace to live out the rest of her days. Throughout this power struggle, both her husband and father were quick to spread rumors about Joanna's unfit state to rule over the kingdom of Spain due to her unstable mental health. Was she really ill or was this a way to keep her out of the way so the men could rule?

In this week's episode Sandra talks about the legend of Mermaids. Mermaids or merfolk (mermen and mermaids) are defined as having the upper body of a human and the tail of a fish. It turns out Mermaids can be dated back to the sixth century and it is rumored that Christopher Columbus even saw mermaids on his voyage in the Caribbean. Today they can be found all over the world and are known in many cultures to be considered a bad omen.

Then, Danielle discusses the twisted and dark story of Anneliese Michel, a young woman who was convinced that demons possessed her in 1970s Bavaria. What started as an epilepsy diagnosis progressed to inconceivable horrors at the hands of people who should have been protecting her.

Welcome back! Danielle talks about the mysterious and still unknown identity of the Somerton Man. He was found deceased, propped up in front of a wall at Somerton Beach in Adelaide, Australia in 1948. There was no identification found on the body. A note was discovered sewn into his pants pocket which read, "Tamam Shud", Persian for it's finished. So many suspicious details were found that it made investigators believe his death was a homicide, likely a result of being poisoned. His body was exhumed last year to run DNA tests in an attempt to uncover new evidence.

In this week's episode Sandra talks about the Ancient Ram Inn. Located in Gloucestershire UK the Ancient Ram Inn was built in 1145.

That room is known as the "Witch's Room."
