This week, Craig takes us back in time to 1666 to tell us how a small village showed true courage and fortitude to prevent the spread of plague from beyond its borders.

When plague arrived in the village in September 1665 via  a flea-infested bundle of cloth arrived from London, rather than flee, and risk spreading the infection further still, villagers locked themselves away to suffer in isolation.

For the next 14 months, plague swept through the village. Estimates put the total number of villagers killed by plague at 260. Whilst a relatively small number in of itself - this is believed to account for roughly 75% of the population.

So join us as we tell you about the stories of these brave people who set a great example for us all to follow and aspire to in these Covid ridden times.

After the heavy hitter of last weeks episode, Shaun provides us with a little palate cleanser and tells us about the relatively modern phenomena of Black Eyed Kids or BEKs.

Black Eye Kids or BEK’s as they are sometimes referred to, stem from various reports of children aged between 6-16 years old with completely blacked out eyes - no pupils, no iris - just glassy black. 

Encounters have been reported occurring at someone’s home or car. The BEKs will knock on the door before then insisting upon being let inside, saying they’re cold and lost and need to use the phone. Others have been reported as wandering the roads late at night, attempting to flag down hitchhikers. 

Anyone who encounters them almost immediately begins to feel an overwhelming sense of dread, which only increases the longer they remain in the BEK’s presence. Besides their glassy, blacked-out eyes, their clothing is usually a little outdated and they speak as if from the previous generation and have been reported as saying odd things. 

Generally, though, they just look like normal children or young teenagers.

Join us a we tell you of four reported encounters with BEKs and try and figure out what they actually are.

This week, Sophie tells us a story with a bit more of historical flavour than usual and tell us of the bravery of the French Resistance during the Nazi  occupation of France and the actions of one woman in particular, Simone Segouin. 

When Simone Segouin was 14 years old, the Nazi forces had invaded her homeland of France. Fast forward four years, and we her a key player in the French Resistance.

Working under the nom-de-guerre Nicole Minet, she was responsible for capturing Nazi troops, sabotaging German plans, and fighting fascism in her home country.

However, had it not been for an article in the September 1944 edition of LIFE magazine, and photography of Robert Capa, arguably none of her contributions to the Allied war effort would’ve been remembered.

Following the gruesome story of the previous episode featuring the Monster of Florence, Shaun opts for a change of pace and tells of one of Australia's most beguiling and enduring mysteries, the case of the Somerton Man or as it is sometimes called the Tamam Shud case.

On the 1st December 1948, two teenagers discover the body of a well-dressed man propped against the wall of Somerton beach. There were no wounds or bruises that could explain his death. Witnesses would later report they'd seen a man alive the night before, believing him to be sleeping off a beer too many on an early summer evening.

Initial police investigations find nothing but dead ends.

However, It was during the inquest a few months later, that a 'secret pocket' would be discovered that would reveal a strange and peculiar clue. A scrap of rolled up paper with two words written on it 'Tamam Shud'.

Join us as we learn what these two words mean and the winding road that they lead authorities as they seek to identify the Somerton Man.
