In this week's episode, Kat tells us about two urban legends out of Texas - The Alligator Man and The Candy Lady. Blurring the line between what was real and what was just the imagination of local folks, it's easy to see how these two stories got as big as they did way back when. Tune in and explore the dark side of humanity with us!
