IN THIS EPISODE: More than a hundred years ago, reports described it as \u201cthe most weird and gruesome apartment in the world.\u201d Why display an entire room full of grotesque items and open it to the public? (New York Charnel House) *** Kell\u2019s Irish Pub in Seattle has a creepy vibe to it, even if the displays and decorations inside aren\u2019t meant to be. Perhaps that\u2019s because the building started its life as a massive mortuary. (The Beaux Arts Butterworth Building) *** Early one February morning in 1897, John Mars jumped out of bed from a sound sleep, and while the smell of breakfast cooking downstairs wafted up to the second level of the house, he inexplicably grabbed his pistol and went on a shooting spree of his own family. (The Act of a Mad Man) *** A four-year-old has a paranormal experience\u2026 and the man he grew into over 60 years later is still unsure of what happened to him. (The Lady Laughing In My Bedroom)
