HOUR ONE: It is considered by many, Britain\u2019s most well-known disappearing person case. Even now, over three decades later, people in the UK are still fascinated and intrigued by the unexplained vanishing of Suzy Lamplugh. (The Suzy Lamplugh Mystery) *** John List planned the murders of his own family so carefully, he almost got away with it. In fact, it took 18 years to catch him. (The Family Man Who Murdered His Family) *** We\u2019ll look at what it was like to be a woman in the 17th Century\u2026 and accused of witchcraft. (Witchly Accusations) *** If you drink whiskey, or even if you don\u2019t, you\u2019re likely familiar with \u201cJameson Irish Whiskey.\u201d But did you know that cannibalism played a part in its history? (Whiskey and Cannibalism) *** A strange phenomenon takes place in Arkansas, and despite the numerous sightings and investigations, there is still no explanation for it. (Unexplained In Arkansas)

HOUR TWO: Seeing a lifelike human skeleton in a doctor\u2019s office, especially in the past couple of centuries, was \u2013 and in many cases still is - commonplace. But where did one go to get such lifelike skeletons if you were a doctor in the 1800s? Why, a skeleton factory, of course! (The Skeleton Factory) *** The story of Kate Watson is a grim one \u2013 living as a prostitute in the Old West, and when that wasn\u2019t enough she took up cattle rustling. Her husband wasn\u2019t any better. So it\u2019s probably no surprise that she was strung up until dead. But maybe you should wait to pass judgement until you hear the whole story. (The Lynching of Cattle Kate) *** In March of 2004, teenager Brianna Maitland left work in the late evening hours and was never seen again. To this day it is still one of Vermont\u2019s most infamous mysteries. (The Vanishing of Brianna Maitland) *** Plus, \u201cThe Haunted Adirondack Mountains\u201d

SUDDEN DEATH OVERTIME: Parents always feel their child is special in some way \u2013 something that makes their child better in some way than other children. Parents of indigo children are no different, with some parents thinking their children have psychic abilities. Doctors say that these children have ADD or ADHD, but one parapsychologist says indigo children have something even more special \u2013 possibly even paranormal - inside them. (Supernatural Indigo Children) *** When you think of a mad scientist you most likely think of Victor Frankenstein \u2013 but it\u2019s rumored Mary Shelley took inspiration for the character from a real mad scientist by the name of Andrew Ure. (Andrew Ure: A Real Life Mad Scientist) *** The story of Kate Watson is a grim one \u2013 living as a prostitute in the Old West, and when that wasn\u2019t enough she took up cattle rustling. Her husband wasn\u2019t any better. So it\u2019s probably no surprise that she was strung up until dead. But maybe you should wait to pass judgement until you hear the whole story.
