IN THIS EPISODE: You might have heard someone say during a severe storm, \u201cit\u2019s raining cats and dogs out there!\u201d Of course, it wasn\u2019t really raining felines and Fidos. But there have been instances of it raining frogs and fish. But did you hear about the time when for two-weeks straight it rained rocks and stones? (Raining Rocks, Storming Stones) *** In the film \u201cClose Encounters of the Third Kind\u201d the ending\u2026 sorry, spoiler here, but it has been since 1977 so you have had plenty of time to see it\u2026 at the end of the film, the aliens drop off dozens of humans that they\u2019ve abducted over the years, and then welcome a volunteer human to leave with them \u2013 like an extraterrestrial foreign exchange student program. It\u2019s a fascinating concept, an extremely well-written premise for the film\u2026 but could that actually happen? Better question\u2026 has it already happened? (The Zeta Reticuli and Project Serpo) *** It could be argued that while William H. Bonney, better known as Billy the Kid, was a real person in history \u2013 that his story is more legend than fact. But then, being a notorious outlaw, pretending to die, and convincing everyone you are dead \u2013 then living out the rest of your life until you were an old man\u2026 that does probably deserve the label of \u201clegend\u2019. Is that story the fact\u2026 or is it fiction? (The Billy The Kid Conspiracy) *** Stories of giant, winged predators in the sky streaking down and attacking children and even full-grown men have been around since\u2026 well\u2026 ever. Some don\u2019t believe it possible, but if you do a Google search for \u201cman-eating bird\u201d you\u2019ll quickly find out they were not only real \u2013 but alive not that long ago. Or, perhaps\u2026 still soaring the skies, looking for their next meal\u2026 especially in and around New England. (Man-Eating Thunderbirds of New England) *** We\u2019ve all heard of guardian angels \u2013 the idea that each one of us has a personal, supernatural protector following us at all times, battling for our souls to keep us from spiritual harm, if not physical. But if that\u2019s true \u2013 could we also each have a personal demon as well? A being also battling for our souls to send us to hell? One famous witch hunter believed exactly that. (The Witch Hunter List of Seven Princes In Hell)
