IN THIS EPISODE: When you think of methods of execution, what comes to mind? Electric chair? Hanging? Firing squad? Lethal injection? Or perhaps something a bit more historic like guillotine, or even stoning. But I\\u2019m guessing the last thing you\\u2019d think of for a method of execution would be death by golden shower. (Death by Urination) *** Had Daniel Lambert been alive today, he would\\u2019ve carted his more than 700 pounds around in a motorized scooter, as too many morbidly obese people choose to do. But in the early 1800s, such amenities weren\\u2019t available, because there was no market for them. Lambert was a true anomaly. And people couldn\\u2019t get enough of him. (Daniel Lambert: Fat Man On Display) *** A woman describes how frightened she was when working in a school after hours \\u2013 so frightened that now, over 23-years-later, she still has trouble sleeping due to the fear she experienced. (Horrible, No-good, Very Bad Schoolhouse) *** An eerie painting spooked many who just saw it. Those who owned it fared worse. Could this piece, painted in 1972, truly be haunted? (The Hands Resist Him: Haunted Painting) *** From murdering children to drinking blood, Peter K\\xfcrten was "the king of the sexual perverts" and perhaps the worst serial killer ever. So it\\u2019s no surprise he would be tagged with the word \\u201cvampire\\u201d to describe him. (The Abominations Of Peter K\\xfcrten - Vampire Of D\\xfcsseldorf)
