b'IN THIS EPISODE: Most people, when they think of the end of their lives, want to feel that they have accomplished something of significance. To leave a lasting legacy. But it is much more rare for someone to accomplish something significant \\u2013 after they are dead! (Done By The Dead) *** Mrs. Elizabeth G. Wharton was a pillar of society in Baltimore, Maryland in the late 1800s. That is, until she was accused of murdering General William Scott Ketchum. (The Baltimore Borgia) *** For every legitimate and fascinating find by geologists, there seems to be a fraudulent find somewhere else trying to fool the masses. This has been a problem since geology became a thing \\u2013 and one of the most fascinating of these true tales is the one about Baringer\\u2019s Lying Stones. (The Lying Stones) *** A strange, ape-like creature with glowing eyes in England might really be, as some believe, a specter of the night. (Man-Monkey of the Night) *** It\\u2019s hard to understand how human sacrifice has ever been a reality in any point in history \\u2013 but what if you were to learn that evidence of it showed up in London, England\\u2026 in 2001? (Torso In The River) *** A would-be geisha murders her lover\\u2026 but the events leading up to and during the death make for a fascinatingly dark story. (The Murderess Geisha) *** When it comes to spectral animals, we\\u2019re more than familiar with black dogs or hell hounds, ghostly cats, horses carrying a headed or headless phantom, even a ghost bear rumored to haunt the Tower of London\\u2026 but have you ever heard of the American Southwest\\u2019s ghost camels? (America\\u2019s Ghost Camels)
