IN THIS EPISODE: The legend said it was made of clay, and given life by mystical means. The Jews created it as a means of protection \u2013 so the story goes, at least. We\u2019ll look at the legend of the golem \u2013 and see if there is any truth behind it. (The Golem) *** In the 1860\u2019s, John Mudd found some letters that he wouldn\u2019t publish for more than fifty years \u2013 because what he read in those letters terrified him. (Strange Sea Creatures) *** In 1936 a series of holdups escalated into armed robbery and eventually murder, all carried out by a trio of teens. (The Baby Bandits of San Francisco) *** It is Abraham Lincoln who issued the Emancipation Proclamation, freeing the slaves. But did he get the idea for this historic legislation from beyond the grave? (Lincoln\u2019s Messages From Beyond) *** In 1866, a woman named Laura Foster was murdered. A man named Tom Dula was convicted and hanged for the crime. The crime now lives on, in one of the most famous folk songs ever recorded. (Hang Down Your Head Tom Dooley) *** During the Kentucky Meat Shower Of 1876, Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs was real life when meat purportedly poured from the heavens. (The Kentucky Meat Shower 1876) *** People sometimes say they experience a kind of floating, weightless feeling when in bed \u2013 but one man\u2019s bed floated all the way to the ceiling. (Bed Rising) *** Some say this is a nothing short of a miracle, while others are downright dubious. A unique Bible, continues to spew out an unidentified oil \u2013 and so far, scientists are unable to explain it. (Miracle Bible Dripping Oil) *** We may or may not ever see an actual alien invasion of our planet. But if we do, scientists are now saying the extraterrestrials would not be here to eat us \u2013 and they explain why. (To Serve Man)
