IN THIS EPISODE: Eastern State hospital was originally known as the Public Hospital for Persons of Insane and Disordered Minds, built in 1773. It was America\\u2019s first mental asylum \\u2013 and the horrors in the minds of its patients couldn\\u2019t compare to the horrors of the asylum itself. (The Hauntings of Eastern State Mental Asylum) *** \\u2028Weirdo family member Krysta Lee shares a personal encounter with a spirit in her bathroom. (Cool Hand On My Shoulder) *** Belief in witches, hexes, and powerful spirits was prevalent in the 19th century, and into the 20th century. In fact, in rural areas of Pennsylvania, it might still be practiced today. So it\\u2019s the perfect setting for a murder involving curses, and a local witch. (The Witch of Ringtown) *** Parking tickets, floppy disks and escaped victims \\u2013 these helped catch a handful of serial murderers who would likely have never been caught otherwise. (When Killers Capture Themselves) *** It\\u2019s been called a freak of nature, as weird as it is beautiful. Seen here are terrifying flying entities, giant skeletons, and even the legendary Bigfoot. We\\u2019ll look at the mysterious, strange, and dangerous Okefenokee Swamp in Georgia. (Bigfoot, Giant Skeletons, and Okefenokee Swamp) *** (Originally aired July 14, 2020)
