Published: July 21, 2024, 12:19 a.m.

IN THIS EPISODE: Were the Tate-LaBianca murders attributed to Charles Manson actually the results of a drug burn? \xa0And was Manson simply a scapegoat? *** Matthew Weeks was found guilty and hanged for the murder of Charlotte Dymond. Today it is said that the ghosts of both of them roam the countryside \u2013 but could it be that Matthew\u2019s ghost is lamenting because he was innocent of the crime? (The Murder of Charlotte Dymond on Bodmin Moor) *** A building situated right in the middle of London\u2019s swankiest and most historical areas, has long been said to be the lair of something not of this earth. (The Bizarre Nameless Thing of Berkley Square) *** \u201cThe Jungle Book\u201d - we are all familiar with the story in some way \u2013 either from the classic animated Disney film version from 1967, the live action version in 2016, or the original novel by Rudyard Kipling published in 1894. In fact, yet another retelling of the story is coming in 2019 in a film entitled simply, \u201cMowgli\u201d. But what many don\u2019t know is that the character of Mowgli was, in fact, inspired by a real boy who was raised by wild animals. (The Real Life Inspiration for Mowgli) *** Evil stepmothers, jealous of their stepdaughters\u2019 beauty are a classic tome in fantastical stories \u2013 but Martha Savcoll was no fairy tale. (Brooklyn Murderess) *** Of all the places in the world you would expect to be safe from the paranormal, it would be a church \u2013 but that would not be telling the truth when referring to Adams Grove Presbyterian Church in Alabama. (Haunted Adams Grove Presbyterian Church)
