This however, was not a symbol of death \\u2013 at least not in the beginning. (Hidden History of the Skull and Crossbones) *** Nazi camp guard Maria Mandl sent half a million women to their deaths \\u2013 and loved every minute of it. (\\u201cThe Beast\\u201d Maria Mandl)

HOUR TWO: If you buy a used camper, knowing someone died in it, and with the bloodstain still clearly visible, you shouldn\\u2019t really be surprised later to find that it is haunted. (The Haunted Camper) *** A doppelganger is a strange creature that looks exactly like a real person, but is not that person\\u2019s twin. And seeing your doppelganger is considered a very bad omen. (Doppelgangers and Spirit Doubles) *** We\\u2019ll follow the life of George Barrington, who was well-known for two things: picking pockets and writing books. One led to the other you see \\u2013 and resulted in the sighting of a phantom ship! (Phantom Ship) *** But first\\u2026 one night about 60 years ago, physicist Enrico Fermi looked up into the sky and asked, \\u201cWhere is everybody?\\u201d He was talking about aliens. So why haven\\u2019t we met them yet? (Strange, Scientific Excuses for Why Humans Haven\\u2019t Found Aliens Yet)

SUDDEN DEATH OVERTIME: The dragon is one of the most well-known creatures in ancient mythology, and many cultures have this creature (or one of its related forms) in their folklore. One of the lesser known dragons is that of the zmaj, a dragon that can be found in Slavic folklore. (The Dragon Zmaj)
