IN THIS EPISODE: The true story of the voodoo murders\u2026 are they proof of the mythical \u201cChurch of Sacrifice?\u201d *** A man picks up a ghostly hitchhiker. *** For years, the residents of Circleville, Ohio were plagued by messages that revealed their darkest secrets. Who was writing the letters \u2013 and how did they know about the skeletons in people\u2019s closets? *** If you drive through Hecker Pass in California, don\u2019t be surprised if you see a bloody girl in a frilly white dress waiting for you. *** In a wooded area just south of San Antonio, lies a nondescript railroad crossing. Legend has it several children died on the tracks \u2013 but did that really happen? *** Poveglia Island \u2013 some considered it a place of hell hundreds of years ago. And some still do today. *** And the history, hauntings (and hoax) of the original \u201cmost haunted house in America\u201d.
