IN THIS EPISODE: The captain and crew of the ocean vessel St. Andrew not only saw what appeared to be a flying saucer \u2013 but narrowly avoided being destroyed by it when it dove into the sea, almost crashing into their ship. (The Falling Saucer) *** We hear of crashed UFOs, flying saucers, or extraterrestrial spacecraft \u2013 but\u2026 how reliable are the stories we\u2019ve been told? We\u2019ll look at cases after the Roswell incident to see if they hold up. (Where Are The Crashed UFOs?) *** In the Mexican city of Durango there lived a witch who, while stunning beautiful, was grotesquely ugly when it came to her soul and personality \u2013 because people never seemed to believe her when she told them of the powers she possessed. And some regretted that. (The Witch of Durango) *** Imagine yourself in the Old West renting a carriage, forgetting to return it the next morning on time, and because of that, having the finger of murder being pointed at you. That\u2019s what happened to Hattie Woolsteen. (The Trial of Hattie Woolsteen) *** A cemetery off the western coast of Winnipeg has lost its gravestones, the house that used to be there is gone, but that doesn\u2019t mean that souls don\u2019t reside there. (The Legend of Nes Cemetery) *** But first \u2013 we\u2019ll look at nine books, works of fiction, but somehow they eerily predicted the future with stunning accuracy. We begin with that story. (Books That Predicted The Future) *** (Originally aired November 04, 2020)
