FEATURED STORIES IN THIS EPISODE: Complete isolation sounds horrifying, but for people who work alone, it just becomes part of the process. *** Fog and mist are a staple of creating a perfect horror atmosphere. In some cases, such as movies like “The Fog” or “The Mist”, it is the creeping haze that is the danger itself. But then there is the true story from the Florida woods of a supernatural fog bank that appeared to eat people alive. *** How did The Devil's footprint get in a rock in North Carolina? *** One of our Weirdo family members didn’t used to believe in the supernatural – but that changed when he insisted that the ghost prove it exists. *** Mysterious fires and moving objects have terrified the residents of a house in central Morocco.

| 0:11.0 | And Bob Frisbee, husband, father, lifelong pilot, feels something snap. |
| 0:18.0 | He wakes in a room he doesn't recognize. |
| 0:22.1 | No windows. |
| 0:23.4 | A door with no handle. |
| 0:25.4 | Light with no source. |
| 0:27.6 | And seated across a carved antique table is a man with a file, an impossibly thick file, |

| 1:05.5 | Above them, a golden wheel appears, and the spokes that are dark are the ones that matter most. |
| 1:12.8 | But this isn't just a life review. |
| 1:15.9 | Behind the veil of the world Bob thought he knew something has been moving, ancient, deliberate, |
| 1:22.8 | with a face that doesn't belong on anything that was ever human. |
| 1:27.5 | There are forces here that don't want Bob to finish what he has started, and the waiting |
