He even had a photograph. The tale of the Ozark Gowrow didn't end in 1897 — this cryptid legend took on a life of its own in mountain folklore and monster sightings across Arkansas.

Still, we enjoy the story: Episode 34—The Elves. Arizona might not seem like the typical setting for holiday magic, but for decades, some mysterious local "elves" have turned a spherical, scrubby-looking desert juniper out on I-17 into what has to have been one of America's more unlikely Christmas spectacles; but who are they, and why are they so determined to light up the lonely landscape?

Eventually, outside pressure pushes them to charge someone with the killings, whether or not the evidence supports their conclusions.

The Brown Lady of Raynham Hall—a vast estate that has belonged to the Viscount and Marquess Townshends for hundreds of years—might be one of Britain's most famous ghosts. She's rumored to be Dorothy Walpole Townshend, wife to the second Viscount and sister to Robert Walpole, Britain's first prime minister. And an image of her ghost, descending the staircase that appeared in Country Life Magazine in December of 1936? That photo is certainly one of most of the most notable examples of spirit photography in existence. Really, this episode has a lot of pedigree.
