IN THIS EPISODE: Historic Mounds Theatre, has long been rumored to be haunted. Three ghosts are said to reside there \u2013 including one who has performed onstage for the guests. (The Ghosts of Mounds Theater) *** Nurse Sarah Koten would take the abuse no longer \u2013 she was raped and impregnated by her boss and felt she had no other choice but to kill him. But how would the press and public see that in 1908 New York City? (It Was My Duty To Kill Him) *** He was born deformed, found fame as a side show attraction, even found love on the carnival circuit \u2013 but then Grady Stiles \u2013 the Lobster boy - turned as ugly on the inside as he was shocking to look at on the outside. (Grady Stiles: The Evil Lobster Boy) *** A dark bridge. A screaming baby. Apparitions in the night. The country is full of \u201ccrybaby bridge\u201d legends, but is there any truth to the disturbing tales? (Legends Of Crying Babies Haunting Bridges) *** His IQ was that of a genius \u2013 but that didn\u2019t keep Patrick Kearney from murdering people and having sex with their corpses. (The Twisted Morality of an Evil Genius) *** A mother comes home from work to one more child than she expected. (We Call Her Abigail) *** Is it true that Jesus Christ once cursed a man to roam the earth, immortal, until His second coming? (The Immortal, Wandering Jew) *** The crew completely vanished from the ship with no explanation yet to be found. You\u2019d think I would be talking about the legendary Mary Celeste \u2013 but there is another ship that suffered a similar fate. (The Vanishing Crew of the Carroll A. Deering) *** In 1921, Roscoe \u201cFatty\u201d Arbuckle was the highest-paid actor in the world. But before the year was out, he was accused of a crime so monstrous that he would never appear onscreen again. (The Death of Virginia Rappe And The Trial of Fatty Arbuckle) *** A cabin in the middle of the woods, in the middle of the night, a strange figure barely visible in the darkness. It could almost be the setup for a clich\xe9 horror movie if it wasn\u2019t real for one man. (Night Watcher) *** Insanity, tragedy, and death\u2026 and that\u2019s just the start of what you\u2019ll find at Loftus Hall, Ireland\u2019s most haunted residence. (Most Haunted House In Ireland) *** People around the world are reporting an odd phenomenon of walking and suddenly striking what can only be described an an invisible barrier, like a transparent wall. Are the reports true? And if so, what is causing this? (Unexplained Encounters With Invisible Barriers)
