Published: June 14, 2024, midnight

IN THIS EPISODE: A man calling himself Roland T. Owen checked into room 1046 of the Hotel President in Kansas City, Missouri, on January 2, 1935. In just two days' time, he would be dead. But no one knows who killed him, and it has become one of history\u2019s most popular mysteries \u2013 The Mystery of Room 1046. (The Mystery of Room 1046) *** Ghosts are spooky \u2013 but zombies are even worse. But what if you came across a ghost zombie? That\u2019s exactly the terror Scandinavian Vikings had to deal with! (Ghost Zombie of the Vikings) *** Can you raise someone in a way to create a phobia within them? Sure, that would be cruel and inhumane to do \u2013 but is it possible? That\u2019s what a couple of behaviorists wanted to find out\u2026 and so they went about studying on it by experimenting on a tiny child. (The Little Albert Experiment) *** Did a woman accidentally kill her husband because of a Bugs Bunny cartoon\u2026 or was it murder? It\u2019s the bizarre case of Linda Duffey Gwozdz. (The Looney Tunes Murderess) *** "The voice sounded close, yet at the same time, so far away. It was the most pitiful and horrifying cry I had ever heard." That\u2019s how a seasoned paranormal investigator described what they heard in an abandoned asylum. (A Ghost Encounter In a Forsaken Asylum) *** We\u2019ll also take a look at a few asylums that are said to be so creepy, so haunted, that you would never want to be locked in there \u2013 day or night. (Five Haunted Asylums) *** If you\u2019re a fan of the movie \u201cFerris Bueler\u2019s Day Off\u201d you might remember the \u201cSausage King of Chicago\u201d scene. That person was fictional of course, and the title was played for laughs. But have you ever heard of the Sausage Ghost of Chicago? That too may sound like it was made-up for laughs \u2013 but no, the Sausage Ghost of Chicago is a story that is all too true. (The Sausage Ghost of Chicago)
