b'The mysterious Men in Black\\u2026 are they government agents? Time travelers? One man who experienced them first-hand has a different theory. And we\\u2019ll look over a few separate incidents of people experiencing the Men in Black. (The MIB: I Knew They Were Evil) *** In spring of 2015, the Great Barrington Historical Society & Museum formally inducted the infamous Reed case of alien encounters. But is the Reed family alien abduction a valid historical fact - or UFO fan fiction? (Reed Family Alien Abduction) *** Weeping statues are nothing new, and believers claim they are miracles without much investigation. However, the Vatican proves them to be hoaxes almost 100% of the time. The latest is the statue of Our Lady of Guadalupe in New Mexico. Will this be the one that finally convinces the Vatican of a true miracle? (Weeping Statue) *** Had Leonarda Cianciulli\'s life not been so muddled by superstition, curses, and Romani fortune tellers, she may never have murdered at all. (She Turned Her Victims Into Soap and Teacakes) *** A family keep seeing black creatures in their home with no explanation of where they came from \\u2013 or where they go. (Black Creatures on the Isle of White) *** On May 30, 1883, a stampede took place on New York\'s Brooklyn Bridge, killing 12 people -- all because of a bizarre rumor! But the bridge has always had a strange history. (Death On The Brooklyn Bridge) *** If humanity were to receive a message from an extraterrestrial civilization right now, it would be the single greatest event in the history of civilization. But according to a new study, such a message could also pose a serious risk to humanity. (If We Receive A Message From Aliens Should We Delete It Without Reading?) *** With as many people that pass on while being treated by EMTs, it should probably be no surprise that phantoms might be encountered in an ambulance. (Haunted Ambulance) *** There was no doubt that Thomas Joy was murdered by gunshot \\u2013 but the witnesses all had different stories, as did the police. What really happened? (Who Shot \\u201cTonce\\u201d Joy?) *** If you believe your house is haunted, it\\u2019s best not to try and confirm it by using a Ouija board. Nothing good can come from that. (Ouija Halloween) *** In 1928, a young boy mysteriously disappears after his mother gives him a dime to spend on admission to the local theater. But that is just the beginning of this very twisted true story. (The Very Strange Case of Christine and Walter Collins)
