Visit the Stanley Hotel, the Good Hart murders, and Bonnie Hood's death at Camp Nelson, then follow the Hamar-Daban hikers, Alfred Packer, and the Donner Party. Nearly four hours separate documented events from disputed testimony and ghost stories. When help is miles away, whose account can you trust? We're telling that story tonight.

  • Thursday Thrills | Kyoto's Gate to Hell: Rokudo Chinno-ji & Japanese Folklore
    Kyoto's Rokudo Chinno-ji is a real temple at the heart of Japan's Gate to Hell folklore—and Capcom's Onimusha: Way of the Sword. Legend links its well to Ono no Takamura, a court official said to travel between the living world and the underworld. Thursday Thrills explores the temple's hidden bell, ancestral-spirit rituals, and the stories surrounding this sacred crossroads. Henrique Couto separates documented history from supernatural claims, tracing Japanese folklore beyond the game's setting. Why did a well and a bell become ways of imagining contact with the dead?
