IN THIS EPISODE: Victorian era séances – where mediums claimed to bridge the living and the dead with mysterious rituals and eerie phenomena. But they had some elaborate tricks and illusions up their sleeves, all with the intention of misleading millions with the promise of communicating beyond the grave – and lining their own pockets, of course. (Secrets of the Seance Charlatans) *** Underneath the Nevada desert a 13-year-old Marc Brooks was exploring – and encountered the unknown. A secret chamber, a mysterious artifact, and a chilling humanoid creature defies explanation. What lies underground in the desert? (Reptile Men And Underground Bases) *** From charitable beginnings to centuries of cruelty, Bedlam – England's first mental hospital – has a shocking history. It’s dark past of inhumane treatments and public spectacles are such well-known atrocities that we’ve eventually come to use the word “bedlam” to describe uproar and confusion. We’ll take a look at the chilling stories of the hospital that started it all. (Nightmare at Bedlam) *** The 1976 Chowchilla school bus kidnapping saw 26 California children abducted, buried alive, and held for ransom — then they miraculously escaped. (The Chowchilla Kidnapping) *** Spells, magic and curses have captivated the human imagination from the beginning of time. From ancient Egyptian tombs to modern-day superstitions, beliefs in the supernatural have shaped history, influenced cultures, and continue to fascinate us today. Why does magical misfortune still hold such an interest for us? (Magic, Curses and Supernatural Spells) *** A man almost crashed an entire country's economy by tricking a bank into printing real money for him? It was one of the most audacious schemes in financial history, flooding Portugal with millions in genuine but unauthorized banknotes. It was great while it lasted – but the crash was brutal! (The Man Who Almost Broke a Country) *** Urraca Mesa is a mysterious table mountain in New Mexico where compasses spin wildly, and ghostly blue lights dance in the night. It’s full of stories of vanished ancient tribes and terrifying supernatural encounters with evil spirits. It’s a hotspot for unexplained phenomena and those who seek it. We’ll learn some of the eerie secrets of the Urraca Mesa. (The Urraca Mesa Portal) *** AND MORE!

IN THIS EPISODE: It’s #ThrillerThursday, and this time I’m bringing you a short story from H.G. Wells about what we would probably consider today, “remote viewing” – but in a more permanent and unintentional manner. It’s a story he wrote back in 1895 entitled, ”The Remarkable Case of Davidson’s Eyes”.

IN THIS EPISODE: It’s Thriller Thursday and this week it’s a story published in 1957 in the hardback anthology, “Alfred Hitchcock Presents: Stories They Wouldn’t Let Me Do On TV”. Written by Arthur Williams, the story was also used and adapted for “The Late Alfred Hitchcock Presents” radio show for the BBC in 2010 as part of the five part series of dramatizations of stories deemed too unsuitable for the original Alfred Hitchcock Presents television series. If Alfred Hitchcock liked it this much, and the TV networks thought it was too much for audiences in the mid 1950’s… I can only assume it will be just perfect for our consumption.

IN THIS EPISODE: We have a story of soldiers and spirits that dates back to the Battle of Antietam Creek, the bloodiest single day of the Civil War. The story of the Irish Brigade – and the ghosts left behind. (“Charge Of The Irish Brigade”) *** The fear of being buried alive has been a constant companion of mankind for as long time as anyone can remember. It’s due to this fear that we have safety coffins still in use today, more than 200 years after their invention. (“The Strange History Of Safety Coffins”) *** In one particular hospital, the staff avoid booking people into Room 228 – and for good reason. (“Haunted Hospital Room”) *** A sewing machine salesman sees a car speeding towards him – a car like none he had ever seen. When the passenger gets out, he has a terrifyingly large grin, and spoke to him – but without using any words. (“Indrid Cold: The Grinning Man”) *** Cloven footprints are found in new-fallen snow. That in itself would not be strange, except that the creature that left the prints was only walking on two legs. (“The 1855 Devil’s Footprints”) *** What is the earliest memory you have of your childhood? One girl has a memory of floating over her own body – when she was only three years old. But that was only the beginning. (“I Have This Vivid Memory”) *** John Emil List planned the murders so carefully, he almost got away with it. In fact, it took 18 years to catch him. (“John List: The Perfect Family Man Who Killed His Perfect Family”) *** Weirdo family member Kara Moore tells us about the town she grew up in – with too many ghosts and specters to count. (“The Ghost of St. Clair’s Defeat”) *** Gangsters, guns and ghosts… they’ve all resided at Kansas City’s Union Station. (“The Kansas City Massacre”) *** If you live in a house that seven generations of your family have lived and died in, you have to expect there might be a little bit of paranormal activity. (“The Spirit Of Our Grandfather Won’t Leave Us Alone”) *** Dorothy Dingley haunted a young farm boy back in the 1600’s. But now it appears she has come back… or she has never left. (“The Cornish Ghost of Dorothy Dingley”) *** Ghosts have been seen in bathroom… but do ghosts ever need to use the bathroom? It appears one did. (“The Ghost Who Used Our Bathroom”) *** AND MORE!

IN THIS EPISODE: A pale-faced figure in a cape has haunted a quiet Wisconsin town for decades — vanishing without a trace, but never from memory. We’ll look at the legend of the Mineral Point Vampire. *** Navy radar specialists witness four mysterious craft emerge from the ocean depths and vanish at impossible speeds, adding weight to a startling theory: what if intelligent beings from Venus colonized Earth’s oceans long ago without our knowledge? It’s an interesting if not far-out theory. *** They’re meant to be places of privacy, but in these haunted rooms, something unseen is always watching… and it never leaves. And that idea is even more disconcerting when you find out that you’re being watched by a ghostly entity… while you’re using the bathroom. *** An innocent young woman placed her trust in the wrong hands — what happened next would horrify even the most hardened investigators. It’s the tragic and horrifying true story of Mary Collins.
