Have you ever been driving a familiar route when all of a sudden something clicks and you realize you don’t remember having driven for the last half hour? Or, even stranger, one moment you’re minding your own business in your own timeline, and suddenly it seems you’re in a completely different timeline? Some claim to have experienced moments where time seems to jump hours, days or years ahead, or slip back into the past, in a mere instant… leaving them scratching their heads and wondering: how did I get here?

In 1911 a woman named Zsuzsanna Fazekas, who would come to be called Aunt Suzy, arrived in the small village of Negyrev, Hungary. She had seemingly no past or family ties, but quickly established herself as the local midwife and confidant of the women of Negyrev. Soon, Suzy was holding court, helping the local women take care of their troubles, and bearing many secrets. Over the next decade estimated 300 people died under mysterious circumstances, and all signs pointed back to Aunt Suzy’s simple solutions.

Is there a deeper force behind the paths we humans have tread for millenia? Where do they lead, and why? Some believe that Ley Lines were created by ancient societies who deliberately erected important sites and structures along them, connecting our world through a web of earth energies. What mystical significance could these paths hold? Or could the Ley Lines theory all be a bunch of New Age hooey?

Some mysteries deep in the vast wilds of this country are the stuff of legend, but could they actually be signs of foreign worlds, or other dimensions? When Terry and Gwen Sherman moved onto a 480 acre cattle ranch in northern Utah they were plagued by an alarming number of highly strange occurrences: a flying winnebago, the appearances of mysterious crop circles and dozens of mutilated animals, and an unsettling cacophony of strange disembodied voices. 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?

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.

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?

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.

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.

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?

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?

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.
