Summary
IN THIS EPISODE: Haunted and spooky places are located all around the world, and Colorado is no exception. It’s one high elevation state that offers some high paranormal activity (Ghosts of Colorado) *** People share some of the dark secrets they discovered about a family member after that person’s death. (Death Revealed Their Secrets) *** The evil eye is a glance believed to have the ability to cause injury or death to those on whom it falls. It’s told there was a woman in North Walsham who was so wise and powerful she could repel the evil eye! We’ll also look at how to get rid of the evil eye if you have it – and how to avoid getting it in the first place! (The Wise Woman of North Walsham) ***They say it’s actually safer to fly than to drive on our country’s highways – and seeing how Chicagoans drive, I might tend to believe it. But when something goes wrong in your car, you don’t plunge 30,000 feet to your demise. And while it may be safer than driving, there are still a lot of things that can not go as planned and leave you screaming towards your doom. (Scares in the Skies) *** Sightings of a strange flying creature have been reported in Maryland since back in the 1700s… but even stranger is the unfortunate name this creature has been tagged with. What the heck is a Snallygaster? (What The Heck Is a Snallygaster?) *** Of course, more can go wrong on a flight than just you dying – although that probably should be at the top of the list of things to avoid when traveling by air. But some other strange and bizarre things have also happened in the skies that might make you re-book your next vacation on a train instead. (It Happened Mid-Flight) *** In many cultures there are stories of screaming skulls haunting and terrorizing people. What could this phenomenon be, and are all the incidents related? (The Screaming Skulls)
