IN THIS EPISODE: Social media over-sharers are a common complaint. Facebook is a medium where people spill their guts, sometimes without enough discretion. While detailed status updates about breakups can be annoying, killers who confessed on social media give new meaning to the term "TMI." It's hard to believe, but some people use Facebook as a platform to announce the heinous crimes they’ve committed. (Online Crime Confessions) *** While some people confess on social media to the murders they’ve committed, in some cases it is social media that caused people to commit murder or be killed. We’ll look at a few of those cases. (Dead Because of Social Media) *** What if you could talk to God? Not through prayer, but through thought? Where you would be able to converse directly, and receive direct answers. One group of scientists believed it was possible and set out to do just that. (A Direct Line To God) *** Author and researcher Raymond Fowler tackles the tricky and trippy subject of time slips, and ripples in time. (Raymond Fowler And The Ever Changing Nature of Time) *** A young girl is continually beckoned to take a boat ride – but the one doing the beckoning is not of this world. (The Ghost In The Boat) *** On June 10, 1912, all eight people inside the Moore family's house in Villisca, Iowa — including two adults and six children — were murdered by an axe-wielding assailant. It’s a mystery over a century old that still has no answers. (The Horror and Haunting In Villisca)

0:00.0

Have you ever noticed that in just about every post-apocalyptic TV show or movie, the electrical

0:04.9

grid is gone? No power at all, anywhere. No places to plug in a radio to get news, and you can

0:10.5

forget about charging your mobile devices or relaxing in an air-conditioned house or apartment.

0:15.0

We rely on electrical power. Did you know the power grid we are currently surviving off of

0:20.0

was designed in the 1800s? It's so fragile that in 2003 a tree branch had a power line in Ohio,

0:26.1

and it shut down 21 power plants, and close to 100 people died because of it. The terrifying

0:31.6

truth is that our national security experts are warning us that our aging power grid is now

0:36.4

more vulnerable than ever. Those post-apocalyptic TV and film scenarios could easily turn from fiction

0:42.4

to fact. That's why having your own personal source of solar power is more important than ever.

0:47.8

With the Patreon power generator, you get a solar generator that doesn't install into your house

10-year-old Corey Glass lives for Halloween. He celebrates everything that the spooky season

1:37.3

stands for, so when he finds himself grounded on Halloween night and unable to go trick or

1:44.0

treating, needless to say, he is distraught. But when his babysitter and her boyfriend pay a visit

1:50.1

to a house in the neighborhood rumored to be haunted and don't come back, Corey enlists the

1:56.3

help of his friend Jordan to venture out into the night and find them. The haunted house,
