Summary

“ALBERT FISH: THE REAL LIFE BOOGEYMAN” and 9 More Terrifying True Horrors! #WeirdDarkness

IN THIS WEEKEND ARCHIVE EPISODE: Edgar Allan Poe’s “The Raven” *** A UK woman sees a little sailor boy… a dead one. *** A 15-foot high B-25 bomber goes missing - in just 20 feet of water. *** A woman wakes up twice in the middle of her own surgery… but that’s not the scariest part. *** A rocking chair mysteriously moves itself to a completely different room. *** Two Romanian climbers found a strange yellowish object and as soon as they touched it something unexplained happened. *** Is teleportation impossible - tell that to Major Tudor Wellesley Pole. *** A new member joins a new age group – and she creeps everyone out. But they soon realize the feeling is warranted. *** September, 1952… was it a cryptid? An alien? We look more closely at what has become known as “The Flatwood Monster” from Braxton County, West Virginia. *** What began as a practical joke on some friends in a Revolutionary War cemetery backfires on the perpetrator. *** He’s been known by a few different names: “The Werewolf of Wysteria,” “The Gray Man”, even the “Brooklyn Vampire”. No matter the alias, Albert Fish is a murderer whose attacks took place over the span of ten years, causing terror in New York and throughout the United States.
