IN THIS EPISODE: Have you heard of the \u201cDeath Positive\u201d movement? Would you visit a Death Cafe? Would you join a Coffin Club? Why the sudden positive twist on what is typically so morbid? What\u2019s so great about death? (Discourse At The Death Diner) *** When it comes to homes, the ghosts go bump in the night. When it comes to automobiles, do they go honk in the night? (Cursed Cars and Haunted Hoopties) *** Airline pilots in the UK are reporting strange objects in the sky. Not just one pilot, but several. And not just one UFO, but many. And the sightings were close. Very close. So close that they are being described as \u201cnear misses\u201d. (Airliners Almost Crash Into UFOs) *** In today\u2019s world, parents often worry about whether their kids are eating healthy and getting a good education, and in the case of long car trips, whether the children have their phones fully charged. It\u2019s tough being a modern parent, but at least you don\u2019t have to worry like Europeans did about your spawn being snatched by fairies. (Child Snatching Fairies) *** Two men go out for a weekend of elk hunting \u2013 and come back with the story of a creature so strange they don\u2019t know what to call it. (Close Encounter at Pot Mountain) *** At a downtown Chicago church, people are turning up in droves \u2013 not for the preaching or the powerful worship band \u2013 but to see a painting of the Virgin Mary, crying real tears. (The Crying Madonna)
