IN THIS EPISODE: After spending ten years in prison, Sam Sheppard was acquitted of his wife's murder. But for some, questions remain. (The Shocking Twists Of The Sam Sheppard Case) *** “If this stone is real, it’s the most significant artifact in American history of early European settlement,” said geologist Ed Schrader. “If it’s not, it’s one of the most magnificent forgeries of all time.” Could the 430 year mystery of what happened to the colony of Roanoke finally be solved? (430 Year Mystery of Lost Colony of Roanoke Finally Solved) *** And I’ve shared the story before, but I was recently reminded of it and it’s such a powerful story, I wanted to share it again as most of you have likely not yet heard it on the podcast. It’s still disturbing to me – so I’m sure it will disturb many of you. I’ll tell you about the horrors and hauntings of the Bath School Massacre. (Hell Came to Bath, Michigan)
