IN THIS EPISODE: Ufology might seem like a fringe science \u2014 but it's a fringe science our government knows all too well. (Project Blue Book) *** Life in Victorian times was considerably more dangerous than now, if the newspaper reports of the time are anything to go by. (The Art of Dying in Victorian Times) *** It\u2019s easy to a consider single witnesses of a big hairy creature as mistaken or confused, or even fraudulent, as if a practical joke. But add a second witness to the same sighting, and suddenly the encounter becomes a lot more believable. (The Creature of Coffs Harbour) *** Did Mother Damnable\u2014aka Mary Ann Boyer, Seattle's original taskmistress \u2014really turn to stone after her death in 1873? (The Madam Who Turned To Stone)
