b'The Phaistos Disc was discovered in 1903, by Italian archaeologists in southern Crete. Since then the disc has remained a mystery as no one has been able to decipher the writings upon it, nor who made the object, what was it used for, and even if it\\u2019s a genuine archaeological discovery or a clever fake. (The Phaistos Disc) *** Usually you learn that a place is haunted simply because people say it is. It\\u2019s common knowledge around the town or neighborhood\\u2026 but when the government of your country says a place is haunted, you\\u2019d better danged well listen. Such is the case with India\\u2019s Bhangarh Fort. (Bhangarh Fort \\u2013 The Most Haunted Place in India) *** At the end of 1894 French army captain Alfred Dreyfus, a graduate of the \\xc9cole Polytechnique, and a Jew of Alsatian origin, was accused of handing secret documents to the Imperial German military. After a closed trial, he was found guilty of treason and sentenced to life imprisonment on the dreaded Devil\\u2019s Island. But that\\u2019s just the beginning of the story that later became known as The Dreyfus Affair. (The Dreyfus Affair) *** We\\u2019ve all heard of the power of the mind \\u2013 it\\u2019s been shown to be beneficial in the treatment of pain, some well-trained individuals can use their mind to slow their rate of respiration, to bring their heartbeat down to almost nothing with no long-term ill effects\\u2026 but what about controlling things outside of your own body? Is the mind that powerful? Some believe so \\u2013 and they also believe it\\u2019s one possible explanation for hauntings. (The Wild PK of the Poltergeist) *** Is it possible that our history books are wrong and that humans actually did walk with dinosaurs? It might not be as far-fetched as it sounds, especially when you look at tales of knights, dragons, and T-Rex DNA. (Knights, Dragons, and Dino DNA) *** We\\u2019ll have a short tale about Joseph Naples\\u2026 who chose the macabre career of being a grave digger\\u2026 but only because it made it easier for him to be a grave robber\\u2026 and a body snatcher. (A London Body Snatcher)
