IN THIS EPISODE: The ax murders in Villisca, Iowa. The Defeo murders made famous by the Amityville Horror. Two crime scenes where no one heard a thing. The same thing happened in the charming little area of Churchill\u2019s Grove\u2026 a story not so famous, but just as disturbing. (No One Heard a Thing \u2013 The Simon Peter Nelson Murders) *** Lily Dale\u2026 where Spiritualism is celebrated and practiced more than just the spooky months. Populated by hundreds of psychics and mediums, it has become a kind of tourist attraction for those seeking a psychic reading. (Welcome to Lily Dale) *** Bowden Road in Huntsville, Texas seems to have no end of paranormal activity and strange experiences \u2013 particularly the section of road that leads straight into Martha Chapel Cemetery. Bowden Road is considered so haunted, locals have come to call it Demons Road. (Demons Road of Huntsville)
