IN THIS EPISODE: The spooklight phenomenon caused panic in a small Missouri community in the late 1800s \\u2013 frightening many to the point of moving their family away. And today, the Joplin Spooklight is still a mystery that remains unsolved despite appearing several times a year. (The Mysterious Missouri Spooklights) *** Based on its name alone, you\\u2019d think the Gympie-Gympie plant is small, cute, and harmless. In reality, it\\u2019s one of the most dangerous plants in the world \\u2013 and you\\u2019ll want to stay as far from it as possible. (The Deadly Gympie-Gympie) *** We\\u2019ll end the broadcast with one of the strangest funerals you\\u2019ve likely ever heard! (Polly Wanna Tombstone) *** But first\\u2026 John Brennan Crutchley was no ordinary rapist and murderer. He added vampirism into his modus operandi. (The True Story of the Vampire Rapist)
