Summary

IN THIS EPISODE: Most of us would say it’s difficult to understand how someone who was responsible for deliberately killing hundreds of people could be elevated to the status of a hero. However, those who speak in favor of Gulia Tofana say her motives and actions were justified. (She Poisoned 600 Men) *** During the last 300 years, at least 200 cases of Spontaneous Human Combustion have been registered around the world. What is causing this to happen, and can it be stopped? (The Unexplained Phenomenon of Spontaneous Human Combustion) *** Can an ambulance be haunted? The story I share with you might convince you it is. (Ambulance Turmoil) *** What led Captain Thomas Mantell on a chase to his death? (The Thomas Mantell UFO Encounter) *** Does something evil reside in the Hollywood Forever Cemetery in Los Angeles? (Hollywood Forever) *** The U.S. civil war was the bloodiest of all American wars – but the bloodiest was a Confederate prison holding Union soldiers. (Hell Hole of the Confederacy) *** Barbara Forrest and Mary Ashford lived in different centuries, but they died in chillingly similar ways. (The Eerie Similarities of the Erdington Murders) *** Is it possible that Bill Ramsey is, in fact, a real life werewolf? (The Southend Werewolf) *** AND MORE!
