IN THIS EPISODE: Jodi Arias murdered her ex-boyfriend Travis Alexander. She\u2019s now in prison \u2013 and says she loves it there. (The Murderess Who Loves Life in Prison) *** Bioluminescence is a fascinating trait, giving certain animals the ability to create their own light \u2013 literally glowing in the dark. The phenomenon has also been seen in humans, but only with special optics \u2013 it\u2019s not visible to the naked eye. Except, that is, for a handful of very rare and unexplainable cases \u2013 one in which a woman\u2019s breasts would glow. (The Strange Case of the Woman With Glowing Breasts) *** Vampires are everywhere \u2013 television, film, graphic novels, video games, books, and more cosplay than you can sink your teeth into. While our interest in blood-sucking creatures of the night is ubiquitous, it is by no means new. Before vampires sparkled in the sun, spoke in a Hungarian accent, or even crossed the mind of Bram Stoker, they\u2019ve been terrorizing young and old alike\u2026 and have been doing so for almost a thousand years. But while we see the fanged fiends as entertainment, those before us saw them as a very real and evil danger. (Medieval Vampires) *** They seem to fall directly from the above \u2013 stones, falling upon unsuspecting people \u2013 sometimes by the dozens \u2013 and sometimes not from the sky, but from their own home\u2019s ceiling. Who or what is throwing stones \u2013 and how? (The Mysterious Stone Throwers)
