August 12, 2024 Terrifying & True | Bermuda Triangle: Flight 19, USS Cyclops & the Facts Behind the Legend
Flight 19 and the USS Cyclops helped turn the Bermuda Triangle into a legend of vanished ships and aircraft. Terrifying & True revisits the losses, the stories built around them and explanations involving weather, navigation and the difficulty of searching open water. The episode follows how separate maritime mysteries became one supposed paranormal zone, while distinguishing unresolved evidence from claims of aliens or impossible forces. Why does this stretch of ocean remain so powerful in the imagination, even when the legend outruns the record? We're telling that story tonight.

August 11, 2024 Unknown Broadcast | Strange Passenger — A Hitchhiker Who Won’t Stay Behind

The stranger will not stay where John leaves her, and every mile makes escape feel less possible.
