No A.I. voices are ever used in the show.  IN THIS EPISODE: very part of the world seems to have its own share of cryptids – and sometimes, creatures that are unique to that area. For example, along with the ubiquitous Bigfoot, you might have heard about North Carolina’s “Moon-Eyed People”, or “The Wampus Cat”. But I’m guessing you’ve not heard about what some call “The Vampire Beast” of Bladenboro. (The Beast of Bladenboro) *** The story of Isabella Guzman went viral on TikTok six years after she was convicted of the murder of her mother. During the trial she claimed she was abused… then she pleaded insanity. But one good thing did come from the trial… a serious discussion about mental illness. (Isabella Guzman: The Viral Teenage Killer) *** If you’re a proponent of execution – no judgement here, just go with me – the only way to see that through is to have someone push the button, flip the switch, pull the trigger, or whatever method is being used in order to snuff out the life of the soon-to-be-dead inmate. Someone has to get their hands dirty, metaphorically speaking. And even if you think you’d have the stomach and determination to do the job – let me ask you this. Would you be okay with literally getting your hands bloody? Would you survive as a Medieval executioner, using an axe to chop off your victims heads? What would life be like with that job? (Life As a Medieval Executioner) *** We’ve all heard of cryptids like Bigfoot, Mothman, the Loch Ness Monster, the Jersey Devil, the Dogman, and so on. But have you ever heard of a cryptid that isn’t flesh and blood, but were made of plants?

IN THIS EPISODE: Demonic possession… it’s real – and sometimes even more terrifying than even Hollywood can portray. A demon can take hold in a variety of ways and show itself in a variety of forms. And sometimes, when a case is deemed to need an exorcism, the spiritual battle that takes place can appear worse than the possession itself… both during the exorcism and in its aftermath.

No A.I. voices are ever used in the show. IN THIS EPISODE: “The Luckiest Man in Denv is a science fiction novella written by C.M. Kornbluth, first published in 1953. The story follows the life of a man named George who is born with an extraordinary luck that follows him throughout his life. He experiences various events and encounters, both good and bad, but always manages to come out on top. The novella explores themes of luck, fate, and the human condition. It raises questions about the nature of chance and how it affects our lives. The story also touches on the idea of the "self-fulfilling prophecy," where an individual's beliefs and expectations can shape their reality. Through George's experiences, Kornbluth presents a philosophical and humorous take on the concept of luck and its role in shaping our lives. The novella has been praised for its unique blend of humor and introspection, making it a thought-provoking read for fans of science fiction and beyond.” – Textopian SOURCES AND REFERENCES FROM THE EPISODE… “The Luckiest Man in Denv” by C.M.
