HOUR ONE: They're powerful in the supernatural. Witches, demons and poltergeists fear them because they are not from our world. The Cherokee call them the Raven Mockers. (The Raven Mocker) *** Betsy’s Mysterious Flowers *** A girl’s younger sister keeps seeing things that don’t exist – until the truth is revealed when older sis is moving out.

We may never know – the Vatican, the supposed owners of the device, are refusing to cooperate when questioned. (Does The Vatican Have a Time Machine?) *** An Alaskan hunter claims to have found a boy that had been kidnapped… not by humans or aliens, but by a mysterious creature knows as the ircenrraat.

==========
HOUR TWO: “Werewolves On The Prowl” *** It all started one night in June 2018. The screams coming from underneath the house. It was so intense, the homeowners simply abandoned the property.

THE TRUE CASE THIS STORY IS BASED ON: Arthur Upfield is one of Australia's lesser-known writers, but he has a loyal group of readers who love his stories, especially those featuring Detective Napoleon "Bony" Bonaparte. Upfield's books blend Australian culture and landscapes with intriguing mysteries. While working as a boundary rider for the Western Australian government, Upfield maintained the Rabbit-proof fence, a long barrier built to keep rabbits out of farmland. During this time, he struggled to think of a way to make a body disappear without leaving a trace for his new detective novel. His friend George Ritchie suggested burning the body and sifting the ashes to remove any evidence. Months later, three men went missing, and the police discovered that one of them, "Snowy" Rowles, had used Ritchie's method to dispose of the bodies. They found clues in the ashes, like bones and a wedding ring, leading to Rowles' capture. Upfield used this real-life case to write "The Sands of Windee," where his character Bony solves a similar mystery. This book, along with his others, earned Upfield recognition and established him as a significant figure in Australian mystery literature.

IN THIS EPISODE: Succubi are female-appearing sexual demons that approach men in a variety of ways, usually while they are sleeping, then seduce them. Often men report that their experiences with succubi are positive and enjoyable, but just as often, they report that the pleasure had a thread of something evil running through it… and that thread leads to utter destruction. (The Deadly Allure of the Succubus) *** And the woman you are living with right now – your own wife or girlfriend – is it possible she is a succubus? We’ll look a bit deeper into the signs of a succubus so you can be aware and on alert! (Is My Girlfriend a Sex Demon?) *** In recent years, stories of personal encounters with shadow people have flooded the Internet. So much so, that a subcategory of Reddit was created solely for those who have experienced a shadow person and wish to share their story. We’ll share some of those reports. (Real Life Encounters With Shadow People) *** Many towns have tales of an old woman who might be a witch of some kind. Warrington, England had its own local, evil crone. She was known as Old Peggy Gronach and was described as being “evil, ugly and haggard.” But was she truly a witch? Many people thought so! (The Strange Tale of an English Witch)

IN THIS EPISODE: Reports have been coming in for decades of hairy creatures in Texas something like a bipedal wolf, or maybe a Sasquatch. Other reports have the creature with no hair at all. Even stranger – whatever this creature, or creatures, may be - it’s not always on the ground that they are spotted, but in the sky as well. (Hairy Humanoids of Texas) *** n October of 1973, two fisherman reported seeing a space ship – and two extraterrestrials emerge from the craft when it hovered near the ground. Was this a true case of a close encounter of the third kind, or was something else going on? (Close Encounter in Pascagoula) ***

Have you ever heard about the mysterious monoliths? If you’re normal, probably not – unless you’re a huge sci-fi film fan and just thought about “2001: A Space Odyssey” when I mentioned the word “monolith.” Yeah – that big black rectangular thing the apemen found is a monolith. But like I said, that’s sci-fi. But now they are becoming sci-non-fi, that is science-non-fiction… meaning… real. These strange metal structures have been suddenly popping up all over the world the last few years, leaving people scratching their heads in confusion...

IN THIS EPISODE: Sightings of strange, pale creatures are being reported in California – and now over two decades from the first sighting, we still don’t know what the Fresno Nightcrawlers truly are. (Freaky Reports of Pale Crawlers) *** There are roads on Long Island that are much more than a line between two points. Some roads contain legends that travel with you on your journey. (Mount Misery and Sweet Hollow Road) *** In 1981, a cabin in the woods played host to a brutal family murder. We’ll look into the still unsolved murders of the Keddie killings. (The Unsolved Keddie Killings) *** During the grueling Great Northern Expedition, naturalist Georg Wilhem Steller came face-to-face with one of the sea's most mysterious creatures. Or did he? (Steller’s Sea Ape) *** Weirdo family member Jamie Tyroler shares what happened to her and a few friends when they rummaged through a demolished building, only to find something still existing there. (The Ninth Street Entity)
