==========
HOUR ONE: During the bubonic plague in the early Middle-Ages, those who became sick and were even suspected of having the plague, were forced to relocate to a quarantined island \\u2013 Poveglia Island. The gruesomeness that took place there still continues today, with the island being illegal to visit \\u2013 and reportedly, very haunted. (Inside Black Plague Island) *** We look at some of the bathing \\u2013 and lack thereof \\u2013 that took place during the bubonic plague, as well as some of the beliefs they had about diet and how it might protect from contagion. Some of the ideas of what people thought could protect them from the disease are nothing short of shocking. (Living With The Black Death)
==========
HOUR TWO: About 80 years after the black plague began, a different plague came upon England \\u2013 a fatal one that would cause you to almost instantly perspire to death. (Death By Sweat) *** Most everyone is familiar with the plague in Europe in the early 1400s \\u2013 but in the early 1900s it struck again. This time in San Francisco. If you\\u2019ve not heard that before, it could be because the U.S. government tried to cover it up. (The Plague of San Francisco) *** Of all the imagery that comes to mind when hearing the words \\u201cbubonic plague\\u201d the most prevalent is most certainly that of the doctors \\u2013 and the odd, bird-like masks they would wear. Why they dressed that way is interesting \\u2013 but what the doctors did while wearing those suits and in their labs as they tried to battle the illness is absolutely horrifying. (Plague Doctors) *** And it probably comes as no surprise that something so deadly and horrific as the black plague would leave behind some residual paranormal energy \\u2013 and boy is there a lot of it. (A Plague of Ghosts)

SUDDEN DEATH OVERTIME: We look at some of the bathing \\u2013 and lack thereof \\u2013 that took place during the bubonic plague, as well as some of the beliefs they had about diet and how it might protect from contagion. Some of the ideas of what people thought could protect them from the disease are nothing short of shocking. (Living With The Black Death \\u2013 CONTINUED) *** Europe just could not escape plagues of any kind \\u2013 for example, the plague that made you, against your will, keep dancing until you dropped dead. (The Dance of Death)
