b'IN THIS EPISODE: It\\u2019s a familiar scenario on a Saturday night in the Land of Lincoln. Teenagers gather at the home of a friend whose parents are out of town, for what they\'ve been told at school all week will be the party to end all parties. But because they\'re teenagers, everything is boring\\u2014especially this party that only a handful of people have shown up for. After a few beers, someone suggests, \\u201cHey, let\\u2019s go out to Bloods Point!\\u201d *** He was alone at home when firemen were called. The entire house was blazing... except for one room. The room that contained the corpse of J. Temple Thurston. (The Mysterious Death of J. Temple Thurston) *** A ghostly spirit brings comfort to a dying man\\u2019s grandchild. (A Comforting Nurse) *** Death comes to us all, but today children are shielded from the reality of death \\u2013 only the stylized version they see in television and film. But years ago, when there was a death, it was a family affair \\u2013 everyone of all ages participated in the funeral and grieving process. And some people coped with their grief by being artistic \\u2013 such as writing a weird song called \\u201cThe Hearse Song\\u201d. *** We all know people who love nature and the outdoors. Some will even have their own gardens and will talk to the flowers and plants, thinking it will help them thrive. But how would you react when you are sure the plants are talking back to you? (The Girl Who Talks To Trees) *** Mitchell Quy watched while the police looked for his missing wife; he even joined the search himself. No one ever expected that Mitchell was the one who had killed her. (He Murdered His Wife \\u2013 Then Pretended To Look For Her) *** In 1986, the Tallmanns moved into what they thought was the ideal family home. They couldn\\u2019t have been more wrong. (Sharing Bunk Beds With Evil)
