IN THIS EPISODE: woman is awoken by strange sounds coming from outside the house \u2013 and inhuman sized footsteps - and why didn\u2019t she close that window before going to bed? (Bizarre Sounds in the Poconos) *** In the deep dark holes in the waters of the Bahamas, locals speak of a mysterious and terrifying marine creature shaped like a gaping, tooth-filled mouth of a shark, with an array of tentacles like an octopus, and massive in size \u2013 up to 200 feet in length. What is this leviathan that people are seeing? (Bahamas Monster of the Deep) *** A man is out driving and finds himself in a predicament; the truck that was following him has disappeared. (The Vanishing Truck) *** They say \u201chell hath no fury like a woman scorned.\u201d That was never more true when it came to the murder of Annie Wheeler. (Insane Jealousy) *** People often speak of feeling a sudden cold or chill when experiencing the paranormal. But what if the chill lasts, unstopping, for years on end? (Ice Box Mystery) *** A noisy spirit invades a home in Tennessee. (You Don\u2019t Have To Be Seen To Be Heard) *** Many people kill for\xa0love, profit, or revenge, but Michael and Suzan Carson shocked California in the early 1980s when they admitted they killed because they were on a \u201choly war against witches.\u201d (The New Age Murderers Who Went On a Witch-Killing Spree) *** Tales of Bigfoot, the dogman, and other hairy bi-pedal cryptids usually come from normal people like you and me out minding their own business. Occasionally an unexplained creature will be sighted by someone of a bit more notoriety or position, such as someone in the military \u2013 or even a celebrity. Usually these creatures are docile or even frightened of humans \u2013 but other times they are bloodthirsty savages. But the story of the most violent, dangerous, man-killing unknown mystery creature of all might possibly have been told directly to a former U.S. President\u2026 Theodore \u201cTeddy\u201d Roosevelt. (The Most Violent Mystery Animal of All) *** The ghost of a caring teacher and widow appears to supernaturally give her own life to save the life of a dying child. *** Even the dwelling of fundamental Christians isn\u2019t immune to having an evil entity as a resident. *** In 1969, did a man named Sid Hurwich build a working time-machine? Many believe so \u2013 but if it\u2019s true, what happened to it? And what happened to him? *** A young boy\u2019s music box turns out to be something more than just a trinket. *** It is reportedly the most haunted castle in Britain, but how did Pengersick Castle get that reputation?
