In the old days, if you had the misfortune of finding yourself the target of a ghost or poltergeist, your options for seeking help were limited. Today, the first place you'd go for help would probably be the internet. When Adam Ellis was first visited by Dear David, he casually posted a series of tweets about his experience. As time went on, the haunting progressed, and Dear David’s powers seemed to grow, so did Ellis’s social media following.

On a clear day in September 1987, Leslie Ann Pluhar headed across the Mackinac Bridge and toward a promising future. She never made it to the other side. The clues left behind only raised more questions. To this day, officials won’t admit what seems to most to be the answer: that, no, Leslie wasn’t driving erratically, but rather that maybe it’d be wise to warn motorists that crossing five miles of water more than 550 feet up in the air in a spot known for high winds can lead Mother Nature to treat cars like Hot Wheels.

Was it all in their heads? Or were the Shermans caught in the middle of something far more sinister than than they could ever imagine?

S3 Ep39: The Incident at Falcon Lake
In 1967, a 50-year-old Canadian mechanic took a weekend trip to one of his favorite spots for rock collecting about 100 miles east of Winnipeg. Unfortunately for Stephen Michalak, the weekend getaway turned out to be anything but relaxing. Michalak returned from Falcon Lake a shell of a man, covered in mysterious burns and recounting a tale that would become Canada’s best documented UFO case.

S3 Ep38: Slenderman: From Memes to Murder
Payton, Morgan, and Anissa, three average tween girls from Waukesha, Wisconsin shared a love of fantasy, science fiction, scary stories and video games. But beneath the surface of seemingly mundane, somewhat nerdy interests, lay something sinister. Unbeknownst to Payton, Morgan and Anissa had begun to be sucked into the dark side of internet lore. The girls believed that a being called Slenderman was waiting for them to pledge their allegiance to his dark lordship, and what he wanted most was for the girls to kill.

S3 Ep37: Impossible Crimes: Locked Room Mysteries
Some mysteries seem impossible, but few actually are. But with no logical explanation to be found, could you solve the unsolvable? Is there even such a thing? Today we look at two impossible cases. First, a man is found shot to death with three bullet wounds in his body, alone, with no gun, inside a locked and bolted room. What happened? Any guesses? How about this one: a woman boards a completely empty train car very much alive. Less than a minute later the still-empty train car pulls into the next station. Somehow she has been stabbed in the back, still alone in the car and now very much dead. Who done it? Your guess is as good as ours.

S3 Ep36: Borley Rectory: The Most Haunted House In England
Since the early 1800’s, tenants have reported strange bumps in the night at the residence of Borley Rectory. Objects mysteriously move and doors lock on their own, scrawled writing appears on walls of empty rooms, a centuries-old nun walks the misty gardens, and long-dead residents seem to cozy up in their former bedrooms. The hauntings spanned generations until our old pal Harry Price came to town and put the Rectory through his psychical research tests… would Borley pass?

S3 Ep35: Don’t Buy Any Green Bananas: The Long Con of Richard Walter
A conman can only be as good as the systems that prop him up, and in the case of Richard Walter that happened to be the very system he was defrauding. Through lies and omissions, and a fake twinge of an English accent, Walter convinced the powers that be within the US Justice System that he was a subject matter expert in all things criminal, despite the fact that he had no real training or experience to speak of. Walter’s so-called ‘expert’ testimonies led to false convictions and destroyed lives, all for the glory of one man who wanted to be at the center of it all.

S3 Ep34: Alien Territory: The Human Body
We humans are made of a hodge-podge of parts that sometimes feels like they were designed by someone with a dark sense of humor. It is amazing, and frankly terrifying how little we actually do understand about the inner workings of our bodies. From vestigal twins and disappearing tumors, to x-ray vision and picking up radio waves with your teeth, its no wonder that some people believe in gods and demons. In some cases, no amount of science can explain the bizarre unknown of the human body.

S3 Ep33: Here’s to The Ladies Who Time Travel
What if you could go back in time? When you got back, would you tell everyone you’d done it? Would anyone believe you? In the summer of 1901, two well-to-do women went for a stroll in the gardens of Versailles and claimed to have slipped back in time. They witnessed scores of people dressed in the garb of the French Revolution and even claimed to have interacted with Marie Antoinette herself. Could it be possible they truly had stepped through the garden gate and back into history?

S3 Ep32: Hide Your Goats: Chupacabras On The Loose!
In the early 1990s a mysterious new creature burst onto the cryptid scene, first terrorizing Puerto Rico then the Southwestern US. The menace attacked and killed animals and livestock with vampiric ferocity, earning itself the name “Chupacabra”. Witnesses claimed it looked like an alien mixed with a kangaroo, with leopard spots, chicken hands, wolf feet, and dinosaur spikes. Could this monster be real? Or was the Chupacabra merely a goat-eating figment of our worst imagination?

S3 Ep30: Dirty Deeds in the Dudgeon Swamp
Is it bad vibes? Evil energy? Trapped souls? What is it that makes one place seem to attract more tragedy than others? In the early 1900’s the Dudgeon family took up residence on a swampy swath of land in White Cloud, Michigan. During their tenure on the land, their bullish behavior and unsavory deeds caused chaos, ended lives, and turned the Dudgeon Swamp into a place feared by locals to this day.

S3 Ep29: The Prime Minister and Poseidon
In 1967, Australian Prime Minister Harold Holt disappeared while swimming off Cheviot Beach. Given he was an avid swimmer it seemed unlikely that he would drown, no matter how rough the seas were. No one actually saw him go under and his body was never found… so the question remains: is it possible the Prime Minister disappeared intentionally?

S3 Ep26: Deadly Dalliance Down Under: The Bogle-Chandler Mystery
On New Years Day 1963, Dr. Gilbert Bogel was found dead on the banks of the Lane Cove River in Sydney, Australia. Just a few feet away lay the body of Mrs. Margaret Chandler. Both were partially nude with no major visible wounds to speak of. Why were these two unrelated people on the banks of a river in the early hours of New Years Day? And what, possibly invisible force, had killed them?
