Summary
IN THIS EPISODE: We’ll meet a cat that must have more than nine lives, as it survived three World War Two shipwrecks and lived to meow about it! (Unsinkable Sam) *** UFO crash stories are somewhat ubiquitous, with most immediately pointing to Roswell, New Mexico… or Aurora, Texas… or even the so-called “Battle Over Los Angeles”. But there are many other stories of flying saucers crashing to Earth – and we’ll look at one that took place in Bolivia, in 1978. (The Bolivia UFO Crash) *** A hidden artifact found in a mysterious hill in Oklahoma reveals a terrifying story! (Oklahoma’s Mysterious Hollow Hill) *** But first, we’ll look at the crazy story of the Great Worcester Airship Hoax of 1909!

| 1:08.9 | have played host to more than their fair share of kind of murdery happenings in the nearly |
| 1:13.9 | 200 years since Jeddaya Smith became the first person of European descent to explore California's |
| 1:20.9 | northern reaches. And while no shortage of ghouls have disgraced the grounds of Humboldt |
| 1:25.9 | and Trinity, there's no question in my mind that Mendocino County has been home to more |
| 1:31.9 | than its fair share of the most horrifying, depraved, twisted, and grotesque true crime stories. |
