IN THIS EPISODE: If you hear the words “murder” and “London” you immediately think of Jack the Ripper – but he is only one of many brutal murderers who prowled the foggy city looking for victims. We’ll look at some of the most gruesome in London’s history. (Murderous London) *** The Navajo believe there are places where the powers of both good and evil are present and that those powers can be harnessed for either. And the masters of these powers are the skinwalkers. (Skinwalking Witches) *** Since it was built in 1981, the Sunshine Skyway Bridge connecting St. Petersburg to Tampa, Florida has been a harbinger of tragedy. The four-mile-long bridge rises like a mastodon 430 feet into the bright sunlight. On or around the bridge, there have been hundreds of suicides, as well as deadly shipwrecks. And in 2016, there was the heinous murder of a child let down by the very system designed to protect her. (The Bridge to Tragedy) *** You’ve probably seen a street artist in person or on video appearing to defy gravity – floating as in mid-air, hoping you’ll give them some of your pocket change. And of course you’ve seen magicians levitate the beautiful assistant, or levitate themselves. But then there are those who say they can do it for real – no trickery involved. Some are laughable, but others make you wonder. (Gravity-Defying Geezers)

IN THIS EPISODE: In 2007, a sixteen-year-old boy was tried and convicted as an adult for the assault and murder of a woman in Wisconsin. But is it possible that Brendan Dassey isn’t guilty as we were all led to believe? (Is Brendan Dassey Innocent?) *** After a night of bar-hopping, Ozzy Conde and girlfriend Kimberly Long got into an argument that ended up with Ozzy laying on the floor – dead. Kimberly was sent to prison. At least that’s the story the prosectors told. But Kimberly fought for years to try and convince people she was not a murderer. But was she? (Kimberly’s Long Struggle to Prove Her Innocence) *** The idea of someone breaking down and confessing to police that they committed a crime – when in actuality they did not do it – seems ludicrous to us. But it happens all the time. Why on earth would someone ever do such a thing? We’ll look a bit closer at how it happens. (Why Do The Innocent Confess?)

HOUR TWO: Sharing an apartment with roommates can be either a good thing or a bad thing. Like coming home and finding a strange man on the couch – obviously one of your roommates friends who is crashing for the night. But what if that guy on the couch gives you the creeps? There might be good reason for that feeling. (Terrorized For Two Hours) *** In December 2014, a teenager in Economy, Pennsylvania called 911 and calmly said, “I found a head.” And thus began a mystery which is still unsolved.

IN THIS EPISODE: (Dark Archives episode with stories previously released August 03-04, 2018) *** In this episode, we look at the strange yet true case of Betty and Barney Hill – one of the most famous alien abduction cases in history. Did the story they tell in 1961 actually happen – or was it an elaborate hoax? While no one can say for certain, they evidence does seem overwhelming that what they say they experienced as terrifyingly real. *** A woman lives day to day with an entity. *** A strange – and eerie - story of a boy and his dog. *** A girl sees a black-eyed man on a train… and she’s the only one who can see him. *** Only the name of Jesus Christ pushes away a terrifying entity in one girl’s bedroom. *** The crew completely vanished from the ship with no explanation yet to be found. You’d think I would be talking about the legendary Mary Celeste – but there is another ship that suffered a similar fate. *** In 1921, Roscoe “Fatty” Arbuckle was the highest-paid actor in the world. But before the year was out, he was accused of a crime so monstrous that he would never appear onscreen again. *** A cabin in the middle of the woods, in the middle of the night, a strange figure barely visible in the darkness. It could almost be the setup for a cliché horror movie if it wasn’t real for one man. *** Insanity, tragedy, and death… and that’s just the start of what you’ll find at Loftus Hall, Ireland’s most haunted residence. *** People around the world are reporting an odd phenomenon of walking and suddenly striking what can only be described an an invisible barrier, like a transparent wall. Are the reports true? And if so, what is causing this?
