Summary

IN THIS EPISODE: A teenager suddenly begins seeing disturbing visions when at home. (A Visitor In The House) *** The Snallygaster was labeled as a fictional story created over a century ago to terrorize citizens in Maryland. But now it appears the creature might actually have been real. (Could The Snallygaster Be a Real Creature?) *** The mystery of what happened in room 1046 of the Hotel President remains unsolved to this day, despite endless files of evidence. (What Happened In Room 1046?) *** It is considered one of, if not the most terrifying film of all time. But is the film itself, “The Exorcist” cursed? (Was ‘The Exorcist’ Cursed?) *** It’s been described as part kangaroo, part horse, part bat, part bird, part reptile… what exactly is the Jersey Devil? (Unmasking The Jersey Devil) *** Why have so many classical composers died upon composing their ninth symphony? (The Curse of the Ninth Symphony) *** The RMS Queen Mary is now retired – but it appears some of its passengers and crew never got the message. (Ghosts Of The Queen Mary) *** Could the imaginary friend of a brother and sister not be their imagination? (My Great Grandparents’ Home) *** Zombies are everywhere in pop culture – films, television, gaming, memes, etc. It’s all obviously make-believe, but is it possible for an actual zombie apocalypse to take place in the real world? (Could a Zombie Apocalypse Really Happen?)
