HOUR ONE: Did she drown? Did she commit suicide? Despite her death in 1889, we still don\u2019t know how Maggie Hourigan died. (The Mystery of Maggie Hourigan) *** In 1958 Gavin Gibbons wrote a children\u2019s science-fiction novel By Space Ship to the Moon, which featured a UFO landing on Moel Sych in the Berwyn Mountains of North Wales. Sixteen years later, in a surreal case of life imitating art, those very same mountains would again be the focus for a story involving a downed UFO. But this time, some said, the story was for real. (The UFO Case That Refuses to Die) *** What if creatures like gnomes and imps aren\u2019t just real \u2013 but also evil? (Nasty Gnomes, Evil Imps and Terrifying Tommyknockers)

HOUR TWO: \u201cJerry Meets A Sasquatch\u201d *** Greer Island, a small patch of land close to where the West Fork of the Trinity River flows into\xa0Lake Worth, is heavily shaded by tall oaks, cedar elms and cottonwoods. One of the quietest spots in\xa0Fort Worth, the island is home to egrets and owls, perhaps an alligator or two. And maybe, just maybe, the Lake Worth Monster. (The Lake Worth Monster) *** In 2017, Washington State Senator Karen Keiser was quoted as saying, \u201cThe incidents continue, they continue, and we have to consider that there is potential cosmic life over the island\u2026 it\u2019s a very special place, with a cosmic presence.\u201d What exactly happened on Maurey Island in 1947? (The Maurey Island Incident) *** Whether you\u2019re a true believer or one of those\xa0skeptics, stories of spirits haunting the living from the confines of a Ouija board can chill you to the bone, and make you think twice before communicating with entities from another dimension. (True And Disturbing Ouija Board Stories)
