Episode 13: Mysterious Idioms
I find Idioms interesting; their origins are a mystery. First of all, some of them sound idiotic, nonsensical, for example ‘saved by the skin of your teeth?’ What in the world does that mean? But the word “idiom” is not related to idiocy, rather ‘idiom’ comes from the Greek word “idioma,” meaning peculiar phrasing. That perfectly describes an idiom. An idiom is a widely used saying or expression ...

Episode 12: The Haunted Lemp Mansion
The Lemp Mansion in St. Louis, Missouri, is said to be one of the ten most haunted places in America. The mansion continues to play host to the tragic Lemp family after death. The once stately home to millionaires became office space, then decayed into a run-down boarding house.

Episode 11: More Than Just Rain Falls From the Sky
When we see precipitation forming into storm clouds, we know that rain is on the way. But this clean, life-sustaining liquid is not the only thing that falls from the sky. Can it actually rain blood? That might sound like a biblical disaster straight out of the book of Exodus, but that’s just what happened in India. Also, what is a Star Jelly, and does it come from the s...

Episode 10: Grand Island Murders
After the body of Edward Morrison was found in the bottom of the U.S. lighthouse boat on the shore of Lake Superior, stories began to flourish about what had happened and who was responsible -- even before the facts were established. To this day, people still have strong opinions about an event that occurred more than one hundred years ago.

Episode 9: The Phantom That Came Aboard: A True Gold Rush Saga
Perhaps the most famous Alaska Ghost ship story is that of the Eliza Anderson. Here is the saga of a ship in distress, forced to choose between being battered to splinters by the savage sea or running around on the rocky shoals of Kodiak Island.

Silent City
A hallucination is when something is seen that doesn't exist.
A mirage is a real thing seen in the wrong location consisting mainly of images of distant objects. These may be steady or wavering, single or multiple, upright or inverted, vertically enlarged or reduced. A mirage is a natural optical phenomenon that can be captured on camera since light rays are refracted to form a false image ...
