IN THIS EPISODE: On May 25, 1979, American Airlines Flight 191 crashed moments after takeoff from Chicago's O'Hare International Airport… resulting in not only almost 300 lives being lost, but also leaving behind ghostly figures trying to make their connecting flights or retrieve their luggage. (The Flight 191 Disaster) *** In 1966, Richard Speck committed a crime so horrific it gave birth to the term "random mass murder" and changed America forever. His brutal slaying of eight nursing students in Chicago shocked the nation. His time in prison, depraved. (The Original Random Mass Murderer) *** Decimation, was a horrifying practice, where one in ten soldiers would be randomly selected and beaten to death by their own comrades. It continued much longer than most think… well into the 20th century! (Death By Decimation) *** In the 19th century, a man named Samuel Rowbotham sparked a controversial movement by claiming the Earth was flat – and the flat Earth theory continues to attract people even today. (Rejecting The Curve) *** The Ark of the Covenant, a legendary religious artifact, has captivated imaginations for millennia, sparking countless theories about its true nature and whereabouts. What many seek, however, is what is inside.(What Is Inside The Ark of the Covenant?)
