IN THIS EPISODE: What do extraterrestrials have to do with vampires? Would you believe… an alien/vampire hybrid? It’s just one of several conspiracy theories regarding vampire bloodlines – and the family trees go back for centuries! (Vampire Bloodlines) *** Today, the fully restored hotel creates an ambiance that has transcended time while providing all the amenities that the modern-day traveler requires. Surrounded by 15 acres of formal gardens and nature trails, the hotel offers 72 guest rooms, many with their balcony, and 12 luxury suites throughout the building. The New Moon Spa features a full menu of treatments, a salon, and a wellness program. And… a few ghosts. (Hauntings At The Crescent Hotel) *** Exorcists are trained to deal with some of the darkest, most evil entities to ever exist – they are casting out demons, after all. But even in those situations, there are cases that rise to the top as the most terrifying and disturbing… with one even worse than the ‘Exorcist’ film would portray. (The Creepiest Exorcism) *** If you feel a loved one is demonically possessed, and you’ve made sure it’s not a physical or mental condition causing the issue, the logical next step is to find a priest to perform an exorcism. But not just any priest is allowed by the Catholic Church to perform such rights… and those who are allowed are dwindling in number, with fewer and fewer clergy stepping forward to take on such a role. So what is the Vatican to do? Easy… start offering classes! (The Vatican Is Looking For Exorcists)
