IN THIS EPISODE: The last known words of Peter Rugg were \u201cLet the storm increase! I will see home tonight in spite of the last tempest, or I may never see home!" Over two-hundred years later and he has yet to make it home \u2013 but that hasn\u2019t stopped his tempest! (The Eternal Ride of Peter Rugg) *** Imagine attending college for several years, only to find out that the whole time you\u2019ve been studying on top of the corpses of thousands of mental patients. That\u2019s exactly what happened in 2013 when The University of Mississippi made plans to expand parking for their students and staff. (The Corpses Under The University of Mississippi) *** Dealing with a ghost or two is awful enough \u2013 but what if you\u2019re attacked by a whole gang of ghouls? It was reported as real news in 1889\u2019s Chicago Tribune! (A Whole Gang O\u2019 Ghosts) *** Michael Bryson disappeared on August 5th, 2020 from Hobo Campground at Umpqua National Forest. He has yet to be found. (The Disappearance of Michael Bryson) *** When it comes to cryptids, you have many to choose from \u2013 Bigfoot, the Loch Ness Monster, the chupacabra, the list goes on and on. But I\u2019m willing to bet nowhere on the list of your favorite cryptids, or even the cryptids you\u2019ve ever heard of, do you have an entry for \u201cThe Belled Buzzard\u201d of Texas. (The Belled Buzzard Legend) *** When the Black Plague arrived at Eyam's doorstep in the 17th century, its villagers were forced to choose between life or certain doom. It\u2019s the tragic tale of England\u2019s Plague Village. (The Black Plague Comes to Eyam) *** Was Stanley Stiers the real-life inspiration for Michael Myers in 1978\u2019s John Carpenter film, \u201cHalloween?\u201d (The Real Michael Myers)
