Summary
IN THIS EPISODE: If you are convinced that someone you know is possessed, never try to exorcise the demon on your own – always call an expert. One woman didn’t do that. (My Couch Is Possessed By The Devil) *** When the unsinkable ship, the Titanic hit an iceberg and sent 1,500 people to an icy grave, why did many people blame it on the curse of a mummy – a mummy that wasn’t even onboard the ship, but was sitting in a British museum? (Did a Mummy’s Curse Sink the Titanic) **** An investigation of San Francisco's famed White Lady of Stow Lake revealed some interesting findings about the City By The Bay’s most infamous phantom resident. (The Real Story Behind San Francisco’s Most Famous Ghost) *** Two hundred years after the Salem witch trials, farmers became convinced that their relatives were returning from the grave to feed on the living. We’ll look at the great New England panic around blood-sucking creatures of the night. (The Great Vampire Panic)
