IN THIS EPISODE: Three boys fishing in the middle of the night hear a blood-curdling scream. But it wasn\u2019t a human making all that noise \u2013 it was an extraterrestrial. And thus began a series of meetings with alien beings! (What Do You Say When Meeting An Extraterrestrial?) *** A day of hilarity turns into a day of horror as an uncontrollable fire breaks out at the Ringling Bros Barnum & Bailey Circus \u2013 resulting in the most deadly circus disaster in history. (The Day The Clowns Cried) *** Most ghosts and specters do a great job of scaring the pants off you \u2013 and some can get creative with how they do it, with stacking chairs, making toys talk, slamming doors, etc. But apparently not all spooks are worried about their reputation \u2013 and when it comes to haunting, they just phone it in, doing the bare minimum. (Lazy Phantasms)
