In this special Friday the 13th episode, we dig into the creepy history and cultural significance of this famously unlucky day and bring you four chilling real-life accounts from people who strayed beyond the supernatural edge and lived to tell the tale: A superstitious teen hears something unexpected and terrifying on the other end of a telephone line; in Puerto Rico, the unexplained presence of a huge moth signals the imminent death of loved ones; a family staying in a run-down motel encounters a violent unseen presence in their room; and the spirit of an abandoned cat finds a home among the living.
