On 7 October 1849, Edgar Allan Poe died at just 40 years old. 'The Tell-Tale Heart' is considered one of the most terrifying gothic horror stories ever written -- a tale of murder, madness, and obsession. When it was first published the public wasn't ready for such a violent, cruel, and horrific story, but today it's considered to be one of the most influential horror-fiction tales ever written. So, turn off your lights, sit back, and prepare to be scared as I read the original, unedited, truly terrifying horror masterpiece, 'The Tell-Heart'.

A sucker is born every minute—or so the saying goes. But in the late 1700s, a Connecticut schoolteacher turned that idea into a fortune.

He also claimed that he alone could make those spirits surrender their riches ... for a price. Join me as I share the incredible true story of the Great American Ghost Hoax, and how one man’s supernatural scheme swindled hundreds of people out of more than $100,000.

When Rosemary Brown was just 7-years-old, she was visited by the spirit of a strange old man who told her that he would return to her one day and give her music. She would later learn that the man was the composer Franz Liszt.

Was she a brilliant fraud, a musical savant, or was she truly receiving music from the dead?

Most people who have seen a ghost in their home assume that it's the spirit of someone who died in the house years earlier, and that they're now haunting it. But what if some ghosts aren’t from the past? What if they’re actually from the future? It might sound like a strange idea, but physics theories about time and space suggest that it IS possible to see "ghosts" from the future. Join me as I explore this and other theories behind the strange sightings people have had of ghosts from the past, the present, and the future.

The thrift shop had all sorts of incredible things for sale.

Of the many methods people use to communicate with the spirit world, the most intriguing and controversial is automatic writing. In 1917, Nobel laureate poet W.B. Yeats and his wife embarked on a paranormal journey where they used automatic writing to produce Yeats’ groundbreaking book “A Vision”. In addition to receiving messages from the spirits, the couple also witnessed other strange, unexplained phenomena. And the ensuing book is considered to be one of the strangest, most divisive works of literary modernism. Join me as I explore the fascinating story of Yeats’ experiments with automatic writing.
