==========
HOUR ONE: Stephen King\u2019s \u2018Christine\u2019 made for one hell of a terrifying book and movie, but what if there really is a car so haunted, so possessed, that its known for killing dozens and dozens of people? (Phantoms Behind The Wheel)
==========
HOUR TWO: Sometimes drugs can work too well \u2013 for example, a hair-loss prevention drug could turn your own children into hairy wolfman-like monsters! (Drugs Turn Babies Into Werewolves) *** But first\u2026 it has several names all over the world such as the Bogey Beast, the Black Shuck, Hairy Jack, Padfoot, Striker, and more. But a phantom black dog by any other name is still a phantom black dog. We begin with that story. (Phantom Black Dogs) *** Dalton Highway is already a scary road for those driving down the ice-covered highways of Alaska. The loneliness on the barren stretch of highway can go on for hours without seeing a single soul. But for one ice road trucker, that solitude would be interrupted by something terrifying and unexplainable. (The Terror On Dalton Highway) *** Forget hats, sunglasses and knee watches\u2014the summer accessory you didn\u2019t know you need is a poison-detecting guinea pig carrying case! (Guinea Pig Drinking Buddy)
==========
SUDDEN DEATH OVERTIME: More stories from \u201cPhantoms Behind the Wheel\u201d *** The dark practice of body snatching was a lucrative business, committed by those with a strong stomach and a willingness to disturb the dead to turn a profit. (Body Snatchers) *** Megalodon died out millennia ago. But our fascination with this mighty shark will never go extinct. We are so obsessed with this ancient leviathan that people still claim to spot Megalodon even today \u2013 but that couldn\u2019t be, could it? (The Return of Megalodon) *** Megalodon isn\u2019t the only creature of the deep people report sighting. For centuries a denizen of oceanic monsters have allegedly been seen \u2013 but the question is whether or not they are fact or fantasy. (Sea Myths or Sea Monsters) *** Hunters come across a strange note left behind by someone who claimed he\u2019d been stuck in the wilderness for over a week and was out picking berries, but the hunters soon realized there was no one out berry-picking, for the person who wrote the note was already dead \u2013 and had been for over two weeks. \u2028(Into The Wild - The Death of Chris McCandless) *** High in the Himalayas is a mysterious lake with a very grisly secret. What\u2019s at the bottom of Skeleton Lake?
