IN THIS EPISODE: When circus clowns beat up some firefighters in a Toronto brothel in 1855, they sparked a riot that would bring down an entire city's corrupt government. (Toronto Circus Riot) *** In 1614, multiple witnesses in Sussex reported encounters with a nine-foot serpent that could kill with poisonous breath from sixty feet away, leaving behind swollen corpses and a trail of terror that would haunt the forests for centuries. Is there truth behind the stories of dragons in Sussex forests? (Sussex Dragons) *** In 1184, sixty of the Holy Roman Empire's most powerful nobles gathered to settle a simple land dispute but instead plummeted through rotting floorboards into a deep cesspit where they drowned in human waste. (Erfurt Latrine Disaster) *** In 1848, railroad foreman Phineas Gage survived an iron rod blasting through his brain and out the top of his skull, but the real horror is how medical history transformed him from a man who rebuilt his life into a grotesque cautionary tale that gets more distorted with each telling. (The Strange Case of Phineas Gage) *** For over four decades, researcher Robert Hastings has collected testimonies from 167 military veterans who witnessed something that shouldn’t exist — unidentified aerial phenomena systematically targeting America’s nuclear arsenal. Their accounts reveal a pattern of interference that nearly triggered World War III. (When UFOs Came For Our Nukes)
