IN THIS EPISODE: Social media over-sharers are a common complaint.\xa0Facebook is a medium where people spill their guts, sometimes without enough discretion.\xa0While detailed status updates about breakups can be annoying,\xa0killers who confessed on social media\xa0give new meaning to the term "TMI." It's hard to believe, but some people use Facebook as a platform to announce the\xa0heinous crimes they\u2019ve committed. (Online Crime Confessions) *** While some people confess on social media to the murders they\u2019ve committed, in some cases it is social media that caused people to commit murder or be killed. We\u2019ll look at a few of those cases. (Dead Because of Social Media) *** What if you could talk to God? Not through prayer, but through thought? Where you would be able to converse directly, and receive direct answers. One group of scientists believed it was possible and set out to do just that.\xa0(A Direct Line To God) *** Author and researcher Raymond Fowler tackles the tricky and trippy subject of time slips, and ripples in time. (Raymond Fowler And The Ever Changing Nature of Time) *** A young girl is continually beckoned to take a boat ride \u2013 but the one doing the beckoning is not of this world. (The Ghost In The Boat) *** On June 10, 1912, all eight people inside the Moore family's house in Villisca, Iowa \u2014 including two adults and six children \u2014 were murdered by an axe-wielding assailant. It\u2019s a mystery over a century old that still has no answers. (The Horror and Haunting In Villisca)
