IN THIS EPISODE: It\\u2019s what every non-muggle dreams of\\u2026 to be able to turn any metal into gold and to create a magic potion to give one eternal life! So is the life of wizarding at Hogwarts in the Harry Potter books. But was there a real Philosopher\\u2019s Stone? Was there a Real Nicolas Flamel who created it? (The Real Nicolas Flamel and the Philosopher\\u2019s Stone) *** In 1929 the Soviet Union decided seven days a week just too many to keep track of, and it\\u2019s easier to count by five \\u2013 so in the USSR they suddenly began to live life with only five days per week. No more weekends. How do you think the citizens took that news? (What is Life in a Five Day Week?) *** While not nearly as well-known as its larger Bermudan brother, the Bridgewater Triangle in southeastern Massachusetts in the United States is home to strange tales itself, with the paranormal, unexplained, and even home to its very own cryptid. (The Eerie Inhabitants of the Mysterious Bridgewater Triangle) *** Author Margaret Helen James wrote, \\u201cThere is an uncomfortable sort of ghostly terror, in beast form, that haunts the villages on the borders of the two counties, which is commonly called the \\u2018Hateful Thing\\u2019. I allude to the churchyard or hell-beast.\\u201d Something was terrifying people in the marshlands of a small county in England and tales of it can still bring nightmares to those who live there today. (The Hateful Thing of Geldeston) *** (Originally aired January 16, 2021)
