Summary

IN THIS EPISODE: Mother Shipton was known for her prognostication skills – but she was even more well known for her grotesque appearance. So much so that she was nicknamed The York Witch, and the Devil’s Daughter. But others have another name for her… hoax. (The Devil’s Daughter) *** A family heirloom begins acting strange when a woman moves into her deceased grandmother’s home. (I Moved Into My Dead Grandmother’s House) *** Is it possible that ghosts, visions, and other paranormal experiences are not only real – but also good for your mental health? (Therapeutic Ghosts) *** After it closed, the old hospital site became a popular destination for thrill-seeking kids looking for the scare of a lifetime. Why does Danvers State Hospital rank among history’s most infamous asylums? (The Infamy of Danvers State Hospital) *** Attend any amateur magic show and most assuredly you will hear a certain word at least once. Why do illusionists use this word? What does it mean – if anything? We’ll look at the very interesting history behind the word “Abracadabra.” (Say The Magic Word)

0:41.0	As you know I've been working to lose weight for a while, but I love bread, which is pretty much 100% carbs.
0:48.6	One slice of wheat bread is about 12 carbs.
0:51.3	That's 24 carbs if you're making a sandwich and that's just the
0:54.6	bread before you put anything into the sandwich. But I saw an ad online for
0:58.9	Hero Bread that claimed zero carbs. I was skeptical. I tried other zero carb breads in the past that were
1:06.4	absolutely horrid, but I clicked and ordered a loaf of their seedbread and their
1:11.1	white bread. Not only did it feel and taste like actual
1:14.5	bread, I've gone back to making sandwiches like I did before my low-carb diet. I
1:19.3	can have a grilled cheese without worry. I make many pizzas by toasting the white bread and using it like

1:30.3	Again, zero carbs. They have zero-carb hamburger buns, dinner rolls, tortillas, and more, even
