HOUR ONE: While many sanitariums around the world are purported to be haunted – St. Albans in Radford, Virginia is one of the real ones if you can believe the researchers and investigators. While it closed down relatively recently as compared to other spooky sanitariums – in 1990 – the terrors there began long before the walls were ever built. (Haunted St. Albans) *** We’ve all fantasized about going back or forward in time – but has anyone ever actually done it? We’ll look at a few cases of supposed time travelers that make some pretty convincing stories. (Mysterious Time Travelers) *** AND MORE!

HOUR TWO: When you think of vampires you probably think of Transylvania, or some gothic background in centuries past – but you probably don’t think of a suburb of Madison, Wisconsin in the 1980s – but that’s when and where it all started with the Mineral Point Vampire. (The Mineral Point Vampire) *** In the 1600s police would sometimes accept help from anywhere they could get it when it came to solving crimes. Like that one time when they needed help to solve a murder and turned to a guy with a dowsing rod. (Dowsing for Murder) *** We’re all familiar with the idea of haunted places but all throughout history we have reports of paranormal activity surrounding objects – sometimes the activity continues through generations as the object is passed from person to person. We’ll look at America’s 5 most haunted objects! (America’s Most Haunted Items) *** AND MORE!
