IN THIS EPISODE: On September 1, 1969, about 40 people in Berkshire County, Massachusetts reported seeing a UFO \u2014 and one boy named Thomas Reed claimed that he and his family were all taken aboard. (The Berkshire County UFO) *** \u2028On the south-west corner of Carfax, in Oxford, a small, inconspicuous inscription on the side of an old building marks the site of one of the bloodiest bar fights in history\u2026 and I\u2019ll tell you the story. (The Bad Beer Brawl) *** On June 28, 1914, while riding in a limousine, Archduke Franz Ferdinand and his wife Sophie were killed by an assassin. As if that were not horrific enough, the incident triggered World War One. Ever since, the limousine is considered cursed, and few people who have come into contact with the car since then have survived. But why? (The Cursed Car That Started WW1) *** The radio station is officially known as \u201cMDZhB\u201d in Russia. It\u2019s been continually broadcasting since 1982. And no one knows why. Because, you see\u2026 nobody works there\u2026 so who is doing the broadcasting? (The Radio Station Run By Ghosts) *** (Originally aired August 11, 2020)
