IN THIS EPISODE: "It was a terrible sight\u2026 I have seen horrible sights, but never anything like this.\u201d Those were the words of the local undertaker after seeing the results of a triple murder laying before him in 1932 Pennsylvania. (The Axe Murders of Lykens) *** Have you heard of the poor girl who was bullied and pushed down into a sewer by those whom she thought were her friends? I\u2019ll tell you the story. And while this episode is not a creepypasta episode, so all the stories are supposed to be non-fiction, that is\u2026 true, I will be sharing this urban legend anyway \u2013 because when it comes to urban legends, sometimes it\u2019s best to err on the side of caution and simply assume they are true. (The Urban Legend of Carmen Winstead) *** A gypsy once told Leonarda that all of her children would die before her.\xa0 A different fortuneteller\xa0 told her that she faced either a future in prison or in a criminal asylum. And the reason she gave for becoming a serial killer is something you\u2019d hear out of a bad direct-to-video horror film. And that\u2019s a tiny sample of this woman\u2019s insanely dark life \u2013 which began even before her birth. (The Woman Who Made Soap) *** Ireland\u2019s Loftus Hall is considered by many to be the most haunted location on all the Emerald Isle. But the most infamous story of Loftus Hall begins not with terror, but with romance\u2026 with a beautiful young girl falling madly in love with\u2026 the devil. (The Girl Who Fell In Love With The Devil) *** Weirdo Family member Brad Hicks describes the experience as \u201ccool\u2026 and creepy as hell\u201d. We\u2019ll tell you his story. (The Thing In The Light)
