IN THIS EPISODE: The Alaskan Triangle is already known for strange and bizarre activity \u2013 so it should be no surprise that a hotel located in the triangle might experience a few bumps in the night. (The Demonic Haunting of the Alaskan Hotel) *** After picking up a sex worker to assault and murder, a serial killer made the mistake of underestimating the determination of his victim to stay alive\u2026 and lost his own life in the process. (The Hooker Who Stopped a Serial Killer) *** Chucky the doll isn\u2019t real. Neither were any of the dolls that came to life on shows like \u201cThe Twilight Zone\u201d and \u201cOuter Limits\u201d \u2013 but that doesn\u2019t mean real haunted dolls don\u2019t exist, and it\u2019s not just \u201cAnnabelle\u201d and \u201cRobert\u201d on the list. (When Haunted Dolls Attack) *** Ilse Koch was a female concentration camp guard and she was so ruthless and evil even the Na*is had her arrested. (Ilse Koch: The Witch of Buchenwald) *** They reside atop dizzying heights and are often unnoticed by human eyes but ever watchful of our movements. They have 'observed' us for centuries. We\u2019ll look at the history and purpose of gargoyles and grotesques. (In The Protection of Gargoyles) *** Outside of Washington, D.C. lies an abandoned institution with a thoroughly disturbing past. We\u2019ll look at the history and horrors of Forest Haven Mental Asylum. (The Afflictions Of Forest Haven Asylum)
