IN THIS EPISODE: When it comes to the religious practice of snake-handling, sometimes God holds back the snake.\xa0Sometimes, He sends you to heaven. (Slithering Preacher Killer) *** The idea of waking up each day with no memory of the previous day makes for a humorous scenario in Hollywood \u2013 such as the film \u201c50 First Dates\u201d. But the real thing is not nearly as laughable. (The Scary Reality of Anterograde Amnesia) *** If you visit Central Michigan University you\u2019ll see intelligent students, friendly staff, experienced professors, and\u2026 if you\u2019re not careful\u2026 a few undead alumni. (The Haunts of Central Michigan University) *** Is it possible that the reason Jack The Ripper was never caught, is because he was only visiting London at the time and then returned to his home in Missouri, USA? (Was Jack The Ripper From St. Louis?) *** They found the first body stuffed inside the church library's closet. Then a second body turned up. It\u2019s the creepy case of Theo Durrant \u2013 better known in San Francisco as the Demon of the Belfry. (Demon of the Belfry) *** In 1989 a man anonymously claimed he had worked at Area 51 where alien technology was being reverse-engineered for the Pentagon. It sounded like the crazed thoughts of a madman at the time. But now, thirty years later, it does not seem so absurd.\xa0(Bob Lazar, The Pentagon, And UFOs) *** One of our Weirdo family members tells the true story of a young child told not to be sad when her grandfather passes away\u2026 before anyone knew he had died. (The Old Woman In The Basement) *** Some very strange things have been taking place in Sedona Arizona \u2013 including ghosts, UFOs, and even people supposedly seeing living dinosaurs. (Strangeness at the Bradshaw Ranch)
