But in 1935 another man’s brutal deeds earned him the same nickname… only his story wasn’t Hollywood fiction. (The Real Jigsaw) *** Could the legend of the Pied Piper hint at a real horrific event that befell the town of Hamelin more than 700 years ago? (The True Story of the Pied Piper) *** Ever woken up suddenly by a loud blast like a gun shot or slamming door, only to wake up and realize there really was no sound at all that was made? This is known as Exploding Head Syndrome, and if you’ve experienced it, you’ve likely not got long to live. Or do you? (Exploding Head Syndrome) *** In 1944, the small town of Mattoon, Illinois was terrorized by a man in black who, according to witnesses and testimony, attacked unsuspecting homeowners with a paralyzing gas he would spray through their windows. Who was he? Why did he do it? The man and the motive are still a mystery.

IN THIS EPISODE: A father locked his kids in a trailer while going out to get drunk – but the supernatural makes him pay for it. (Daddy Demon) *** A non-believer in the supernatural is forced to rethink his beliefs when he almost dies of fright. (The Screaming Waitress) *** Not all monsters in the closet are imaginary – as one parent found out. (The Bad Man In The Closet) *** Most stories of people being abducted by aliens, or being experimented on by extraterrestrials are often chalked up to something like sleep paralysis. But what if the aliens leave behind scars on your body that cannot be explained? (They Came Into My Bedroom) *** At the end of the podcast… what’s the deal with Friday the 13th? When did it begin? Is there anything to it? Is there anything we can do about it? (Why Does Friday The 13th Scare us So Much?) *** We head to 1897 Boston, where a young woman is found dead, strangled… and the only eye-witness is a blind man.
