Summary
IN THIS EPISODE: They found the first body stuffed inside the church library's closet. Then a second body turned up. It’s the creepy case of Theo Durrant – better known in San Francisco as the Demon of the Belfry. (Demon of the Belfry) *** In 1989 a man anonymously claimed he had worked at Area 51 where alien technology was being reverse-engineered for the Pentagon. It sounded like the crazed thoughts of a madman at the time. But now, thirty years later, it does not seem so absurd. (Bob Lazar, The Pentagon, And UFOs) *** One of our Weirdo family members tells the true story of a young child told not to be sad when her grandfather passes away… before anyone knew he had died. (The Old Woman In The Basement) *** Some very strange things have been taking place in Sedona Arizona – including ghosts, UFOs, and even people supposedly seeing living dinosaurs. (Strangeness at the Bradshaw Ranch) *** Is it possible that the reason Jack The Ripper was never caught, is because he was only visiting London at the time and then returned to his home in Missouri, USA? (Was Jack The Ripper From St. Louis?) *** 
It’s a story called “Murder Without Motive”. It’s a chapter from the upcoming audiobook I’m narrating called “Suffer The Children: American Horrors, Homicides, and Hauntings” by Troy Taylor.

| 1:16.1 | pale light of the moon. As the car neared the water, its headlights winked out. If there |
| 1:21.8 | had been anyone in the park to listen that night, they would |

| 2:02.2 | Then, with a sigh of effort, stood up with a bundle in their arms. |
| 2:07.0 | It was large, nearly as large as that of the figure, |
| 2:11.0 | and was wrapped in what appeared to be a bed sheet. The figure stumbled once, twice, and then slowly walked toward the lake. |
| 2:21.2 | Carefully navigating the large stones around the edge of the water, the figure eased down toward the darkness of the lake. |
