IN THIS EPISODE: People around the world are dreaming about the very same man, a stranger they do not know. Who is this man? How is he invading the dreams of thousands of people? (Are You Dreaming This Man) *** On a warm July night in 1919, the body of young Bella Wright was found with a bullet hole in her head. Now, exactly 100 years later, the mystery of her murder is still unsolved. (The Man With The Green Bicycle) *** Weirdo family member Darren shares a story about one of his co-workers. (More Than Just Books In The Library) *** The bloodstain remains on the floor to this day—and several witnesses have claimed to see a black mist materialize from the spot and glide through the house. We’ll look at what could be the most haunted home in Philadelphia. (The Haunting of Grumblethorpe) *** The legendary paranormal researcher, Harry Price was the first to go ghost hunting in the infamous Borley Rectory. But some think there is more mystery to the man himself than to anything he chose to investigate. (The Mysterious Ghost Hunter, Harry Price) *** Demons are notorious for possessing innocent human beings – but it doesn’t always need to be a person. Sometimes a demon can simply take up residence in your house. We’ll look at some signs to determine if that is happening in your home. (When Your Home Has a Demon) *** In a small town in Russia, numerous voodoo dolls suddenly appeared on pillars, fences, and bus stops. Where did they come from, and what is their purpose? (The Terrifying Dolls That Appeared From Nowhere) *** In a small Seattle apartment, Cleveland Tony Harmon’s past has finally caught up with him. Now he’s ready to tell his terrifying story. (Haunted By His Paranormal Past) *** Weirdo family member Julia Harrison describes the endless horrors she experienced when she bought a new home. (It Began When They Gave Me The House Key) *** Strange and spooky things have been happening in a small town in Ohio. But then, you should probably expect the abnormal when you live in a place named “Helltown”. (Hijinks in Helltown)
