HOUR ONE: Just because the Ouija board is made by a board game manufacturer does not mean it should be treated like a toy \u2013 as many have discovered. *** The similar game, Charlie Charlie seems more innocent \u2013 but is so dangerous that in one school where children were playing it, they had to call in an exorcist. *** And you never know when playing any of these types of games what kind of spirit you might be inviting into our realm \u2013 but I can tell you this\u2026. It\u2019s never good. They might pretend to be good, but that\u2019s far from the truth. And one particular demon has found notoriety through the Ouija board community, a demon you don\u2019t want to risk opening a door for. It\u2019s name is Zozo.

HOUR TWO: Did lost cosmonauts make it into space before Yuri Gagarin? (The Tombs in Space) *** Don't take a gift from Gracie Watson's grave... or her life-like statue might cry tears of blood. (Gracie\u2019s Ghost) *** Did Bonnie Scott run away? Was she kidnapped? Murdered perhaps? All anyone knew was that no one had a clue where she was. She had simply disappeared without a trace. (The Murder of Bonnie Leigh Scott) *** A latchkey kid comes home to an empty house\u2026 or so they thought until they heard footsteps in another room. (The Laundry Room)
==========
SUDDEN DEATH OVERTIME: People often encounter strange and frightening things when they experience sleep paralysis \u2013 but in one particular story, the horrors began well before going to bed. (Sleep Paralysis in Bangkok) *** Samuel Joselyn was buried in 1810 in a North Carolina cemetery.\xa0 Unfortunately, it doesn't appear that Samuel was actually DEAD at the time of his burial! (Buried Alive in Wilmington) *** in 1894 Rosa Lochner was a witness to murder, but she had been deaf since birth and her spoken vocabulary was limited. So how could she testify against the accused? (Murder In Pantomime) *** A boy wakes to find his previously closed curtains now open \u2013 and the only explanation involves a previous resident of the house he\u2019s now living in. (Strange Manifestations) *** Mention the word \u201cChupacabra\u201d and most people will think of a strange, hairless dog-like animal. They are never described as having the ability to fly\u2026 until now. (Winged Chupacabras) *** These UFOs aren\u2019t shiny metallic discs or cigar-shaped spaceships. They are humanoid \u2013 and they fly without the help of a jetpack, wings, cape or even a broom to sit on. And the sightings are still coming in all throughout Mexico. (The Flying Humanoids of Mexico) *** The North Carolina Cherokee have a story about how dangerous it can be even near a calm river \u2013 where the waters can suddenly foam and a giant beast can appear on the rocks. (James and the Giant Leech) *** Supernatural women, shadowy men, odd animal sightings, and more\u2026 they can all be found at late-night truck stops if you\u2019re not careful. (Truck Stop Horror Stories)
