IN THIS EPISODE: IN THIS EPISODE: When Steve Kilburn underwent hypnotic regression to try and understand where this dark, foreboding feeling he kept experiencing on a certain stretch of road came from, he discovered that something very strange indeed did take place years earlier… he had been abducted by aliens. (Unveiled Under Hypnosis: The Alien Secrets of Steve Kilburn) *** Velma Barfield was a sweet God-fearing grandmother. Unfortunately, everyone in her life seemed to die mysteriously. (Death Row Granny) *** Karolina Olsson climbed into bed in 1918 on a Swedish island and when she woke up, thirty years had passed. It’s the story of a real-life Sleeping Beauty. (The Real Life Sleeping Beauty) *** In the wilds of Australia, the persistence of Yowie folklore has endured for centuries, continuing into modern times with dozens of reported sightings and tales coming out of the area every year. (Yikes! A Yowie!) *** Imagine driving through a graffiti-stained, decaying tunnel late at night when your car suddenly breaks down, and you notice a shadowy figure in your back seat. This eerie experience is just one of the chilling legends surrounding the Sensabaugh Tunnel in Kingsport, Tennessee, a place known for its haunted history and ghostly encounters.

Ancient solar eclipses once rewrote history and terrified civilizations, but when a winged creature with glowing red eyes began stalking Point Pleasant, West Virginia in 1966, it brought with it a trail of disasters that some believe stems from a 200-year-old Native American curse.

IN THIS EPISODE: Bad omens – to most it’s just as silly to believe them as to believe in flying monsters or that a solar eclipse will bring about the end of life as we know it. But when looking at the correlations between odd or strange events, and the Mothman, you might begin to wonder if bad omens may be real after all. Which just might also give you a bit of a hesitation and a few goosebumps when you experience the next solar eclipse.

IN THIS EPISODE: Are ghosts and shadow people the same thing? Author Jacob Shelton doesn’t think so – and gives us an in-depth essay behind his reasoning. (Ghosts And Shadows) *** In September, 1935, the Labor Day Hurricane obliterated the Florida Keys, killing hundreds.  Even today, more than 83 years later, skeletal remains still continue to occasionally be found… as do some of their ghosts.  (Ghosts Of The Labor Day Hurricane) *** Nathaniel Bar-Jonah was accused of murdering a child. Soon, his neighbors remembered the strange meat he'd given them years before.  (Child Killer and Cannibal) *** Was the notorious Dr Crippen, convicted and executed in 1910 for the murder of his wife Cora, actually innocent? (Dr. Crippen and the Chamber of Murder and Horror) *** Two women decide to move into a flat together – but quickly find out they might have a paranormal third roommate they didn’t know about. (The Other Flatmate) *** In the wild frontier of the 1790s, Americans had much to be worried about.  Drought, famine, being injured with no one there to get help for you, poisonous snakes, hungry wolves, even being scalped by bloodthirsty natives of the land.  But nothing was so scary as… the Harpe brothers.  You see, the Harpe brothers didn’t choose their victims – they simply killed anyone who got in their way, including women and children. (Two of the Outlaws of Cave-In Rock) *** “The Witch in My Dream” *** “The Old Hag” *** “The Aunt and the TV” *** “The Phone Call” *** “The Terrifying Vision of a Hanging Man” *** “The Tugging Ghost of Alabama” *** “The Return of the Living Dead” *** “The Sinister Dark Shadows That Haunt My Life” *** “A Thrill From Contacting The Dead” *** "Haunted Road" *** "Greenville’s Haunted Herdklotz Park" *** "Kitchen Poltergeist" *** "Lifted Off His Feet" *** "The Strange Tale of the Italian Bride - The Haunting Story of Julia Buccola Petta" *** "Castle of the White Lady"
