Summary

IN THIS EPISODE: Stephen King’s Christine made for one hell of a terrifying book and movie, but what if there really is a car so haunted, so possessed, that its known for killing dozens and dozens of people? (Phantoms Behind The Wheel) *** A recent widow discovers she’s not alone after all. (The Ghost I Know) *** Is it possible that the human soul has actual weight? One doctor tried to prove exactly that. (The Weight Of The Human Soul) *** Fifty years before Roswell was the reported crash of a flying saucer in Aurora, Texas – and it remains as much of a mystery today as it was then. (The 1897 UFO Crash in Aurora, Texas) *** What would cause a father to have his daughter arrested for a non-violent crime? We’ll make our way back to September of 1880 for a story of forgery, murder, and suicide. (Forgery, Murder, and Suicide) ********** Dark Archives episode, originally posted October 23, 2019.
