b'The Navajo believe there are places where the powers of both good and evil are present and that those powers can be harnessed for either. And the masters of these powers are the skinwalkers. (Skinwalking Witches) *** If you hear the words \\u201cmurder\\u201d and \\u201cLondon\\u201d you immediately think of Jack the Ripper \\u2013 but he is only one of many brutal murderers who prowled the foggy city looking for victims. We\\u2019ll look at some of the most gruesome in London\\u2019s history. (Murderous London) *** Since it was built in 1981, the Sunshine Skyway Bridge connecting St. Petersburg to Tampa, Florida has been a harbinger of tragedy. The four-mile-long bridge rises like a mastodon 430 feet into the bright sunlight. On or around the bridge, there have been hundreds of suicides, as well as deadly shipwrecks. And in 2016, there was the heinous murder of a child let down by the very system designed to protect her. (The Bridge to Tragedy) *** You\\u2019ve probably seen a street artist in person or on video appearing to defy gravity \\u2013 floating as in mid-air, hoping you\\u2019ll give them some of your pocket change. And of course you\\u2019ve seen magicians levitate the beautiful assistant, or levitate themselves. But then there are those who say they can do it for real \\u2013 no trickery involved. Some are laughable, but others make you wonder. (Gravity-Defying Geezers)
