IN THIS EPISODE: Where did Bram Stoker get his idea for Dracula? Hint – it was not, as many believe, Vlad the Impaler. (Bram Stoker’s Inspiration) *** Ronald Gene Simmons went on a 16 person murder spree – and 14 of them were his own family. (Serial Killer Ronald Gene Simmons) *** In the world of Harry Potter, figures like Grindewald and Voldemort meet in dark rooms to work their evil magic plans against those whom they consider enemies. But is there a real-life version of such dark magic meetings? (Grindelwald and Secret Societies) *** A dark figure appears out of nowhere to terrify a man in his own home. (Inter-Dimensional Shadow Person) *** The largest haunted place in the world isn’t a house, mansion, asylum, or even a forest or lake– it’s a giant cave in Kentucky, and not only is it haunted – it is extremely creepy. (Kentucky’s Mammoth Cave)
