IN THIS EPISODE: On September 18, 1973, Georgia Governor Jimmy Carter (later to become President Carter) filed a report with the National Investigations Committee on Aerial Phenomena claiming he\u2019d seen a UFO. (The Jimmy Carter UFO Sighting) *** While most pregnancies go off without a hitch, once in a while there are abnormalities \u2013 and sometimes those abnormalities aren\u2019t with the delivery, but with the pregnancy itself. We\u2019ll look at some bizarre real stories of pregnancies that gave almost everyone involved a shock! (Perplexing Pregnancies) *** Stories of monsters have been told for thousands of years \u2013 but there are a few cryptids that we had no idea about until relatively recently. We\u2019ll look at a few monsters that we didn\u2019t know about until just a few years ago! (Modern Monsters) *** You know what they say about a woman scorned. We\u2019ll look at the most murderous wives in history \u2013 maybe it\u2019ll give some of the men listening an idea of what to avoid in a relationship! (Murderous Wives) *** Most people have at least a passing knowledge of who Typhoid Mary was, and how she spread typhoid to others while being asymptomatic herself \u2013 but the full story is a lot sadder than you\u2019ve been told. (The Sad True Story of Typhoid Mary) *** And more!
