IN THIS EPISODE: Due to a murderous plot, 11-year old Terry Jo Duperrault spent 84 grueling hours alone at sea until she was rescued. (Orphaned At Sea) *** Moving into your own place alone for the first time is often an exciting moment in a young adult’s life – but it can also be a bit nerve-racking. But then, it probably doesn’t help if you move into a place that is haunted. (My Closet Door) *** The true story of Rasputin is full of both truths and lies. Was he a controversial mystic with healing powers, or an evil or misunderstood man? Maybe he was a little of both. (Rasputin) *** The Lake Club in Springfield, Illinois had its heyday in 1940s and 50s – and not even a lingering ghost could stop the parties. (The Lake Club Ghost) *** A common custom of folk magic in Pennsylvania turns into a horrifying scene. *** Tutbury Castle is best known as one of the prisons of Mary Queen of Scots, who was incarcerated there on four occasions. What many do not know is that it is extremely haunted. *** A woman moves into a new apartment with a friend – and slowly things go mad. *** Mysterious orbs… what are they? Ghosts? Tricks of the eye? Or are they energy beings from outside of our reality? *** A young girl sitting at a snow-covered bench gives a man a whole different kind of chill. *** A child has nightmares… then sleep paralysis… but what he experiences this night is more terrifying than anything he has ever even thought of. *** AND MORE!
