IN THIS EPISODE: Engineers working to link Scotland and England with cables on the floor of the ocean have stumbled across an amazing find from Word War 1\u2026 a submarine that was sunk due to a sea monster! (The Submarine Sunk by a Sea Monster) *** Paul Bernardo, with the help of his wife Karla Homolka, stalked a Canadian suburb with a number of terrible rapes that were only the beginning of their life of cruelty. They would come to be known as the Ken and Barbie Killers.\xa0(The True Horror of the Ken and Barbie Killers) *** When you think of a con artist, you think of slick players like Johnny Hooker and Henry Gondorf from \u201cThe Sting\u201d, masters of disguise and ID like Frank Abagnale from \u201cCatch Me If You Can\u201d, or even the mysterious Keyser S\xf6ze from \u201cThe Usual Suspects\u201d. But I\u2019m guessing what you never picture in your head is a Victorian woman named Madame Rachel. She never got her own movie, but she was the real deal. (The Con Woman Madame Rachel) *** In September 1871, strange and mysterious sights and sounds disturbed and annoyed the teacher and pupils of the male primary school in Charles Street, Newburyport. And then things got creepy. (The Shadow Over Newburyport)
