    005 - The Past Life of Shanti Devi

    This week, Leigh and Nate discuss the fascinating case of Shanti Devi: the child who claimed to be walking this earth for the second time. From the moment she talked, Shanti told stories about the woman she used to be and these seem to be confirmed by the man she claimed to be married to. Is Shanti’s story proof that reincarnation is real or was it an intricate hoax that fooled the world? Listen and let us know what you think.

    003 - Tranquille! Living Up to Its Namesake...

    This week, Leigh and Nate take you to Tranquille, British Columbia, Canada. A place steeped in a rich and bloody history that could be the perfect melting pot for paranormal activity. Could the cultural trauma of the indeginous people ripped from their lands or pain and suffering of those that lost their lives to TB still linger? Listen to this week’s episode and let us know whether you think this is the real deal or an ingenious marketing scheme.

    002 - The Beast of Gevaudan

    In 18th Century France, a beast roams the woods and feasts on the people of Gevaudan. The terror felt by the townsfolk extended far beyond their homes and the story became an international sensation. Hunters, even those sent on a royal command, descended on the area, hoping to be the one that fired the fatal shot. But what they found when they arrived would shake them to their core. Will we ever truly know what creature the Beast of Gevaudan was?

    001 - We're Back! With Stocksbridge Bypass!

    Stocksbridge, a town famous for steel, mills, and local charm, could also be home to something more sinister. Could the bypass built to keep the town quiet have disturbed some long dormant evil or are the people who drive down the stretch of road all feeding into each other’s delusion?  Sources:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nz58LKMufic  https://www.stocksbridgehs.co.uk/archive/stocksbridge/  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vAP-7pCUuQg  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q8bwFG8bf3c  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bTNAhebSSxc
