b'HOUR ONE: Investigators noted the hair on the alleged victim\'s arms was singed, and the skin burned. The grass where he claimed to have had the encounter was also scorched. Did this scoutmaster and the boys with him truly experience a real UFO sighting in 1952, or was it all a hoax? (The Scouts and the UFO) *** An atheist tells his story about being possessed by demons... or maybe he wasn\\u2019t. (I Thought I Was Possessed By The Devil) *** Is the Thunderbird real or myth?

(The Giant Thunderbird Lives) *** Sometimes, the darkness of night can hide frightening secrets. Especially if you are alone. (You\\u2019ll Never Guess What Happened While You Were Asleep)

HOUR TWO: Different peoples build their identity around different facets of their culture: the Italians around their food, the Greeks around their architecture, America around expanding waistlines.

(Catching Mermaids on Man) *** Would you be willing to eat your meals off the chest of a corpse, in the process, taking on their sins as your own? That\\u2019s the gruesome job of a sin eater \\u2013 and there were people willing to do it even into twentieth-century. (Would You Become a Sin Eater?) *** Dr Richard Gallagher is a New York psychiatrist and a psychiatric professor. He has spent twenty-five years viewing exorcisms \\u2013 and he says \'fallen angels\' target the devout AND those who\'ve meddled with the occult. He says it outright \\u2013 being possessed by a demon can and does happen, and he has seen it all too often. (Psychiatrist Says Demonic Possession Is Real) *** UK homeowners believe their homes are haunted and want to rid themselves of them, while Americans don\\u2019t care if a house is haunted so long as it has a swimming pool! (Ghostly Homes And Ghost-Loving Buyers)
==========
SUDDEN DEATH OVERTIME: Robert Ressler came up against a lot of resistance, but his dedicated focus on the minds and motives of serial murderers created what we know today as criminal profiling. (The Man Who Created Criminal Profiling) *** An atheist tells his story about being possessed by demons... or maybe he wasn\\u2019t. (I Thought I Was Possessed By The Devil)
