Summary

IN THIS EPISODE: Elva Heaster was dead – but that didn’t stop her ghost from solving the murder. *** In Stephen King’s “Pet Semetery”, beloved family pets could come back from the dead. *** In Washington there is a hole that some say brings animals back to life – for real. *** In the middle of the Brompton Cemetery grounds, shrouded by trees stands a mausoleum… and what some believe is a time machine. *** The Mothman is apparently no longer bound to Point Pleasant, West Virginia – in 2017 he appeared 55 times in Chicago. *** Plus, a chapter from Faith Marlow's book, “Beautiful Nightmares: Women of Horror Anthology” entitled "HAIR."
