It began on Christmas night, 1951, when a four-year-old boy in Renton, Washington, saw something impossible: a being of fire crawling out of the family’s pot-bellied stove. With glowing red eyes and a body made of flame, the entity danced across the living room before vanishing. That night ignited a lifetime of encounters.
In 1956, the family moved to Inglewood, California, into a Spanish-style house that quickly revealed itself to be alive with activity. Scratches under the bed, deliberate knocks in the walls, footsteps that shuffled across hardwood floors at midnight, and doors that opened themselves became nightly terrors. The family cat hissed at empty corners, objects hurled themselves across rooms, and walnuts appeared in strange, deliberate piles.
The most terrifying moment came when two brothers saw her: an old woman in a white lace wedding dress, standing in a shed behind the house. Later, her trunk was opened — and inside was the very dress they had seen. She had died in the home years earlier.
By 1959, the haunting grew darker: faces pressed against windows, heavy breathing figures smothered children in their sleep, and even fire consumed their garage. The family eventually fled, but the memories — and the questions — lingered.
Was it a poltergeist, a restless spirit, or something older still? This real haunting from the 1950s proves that some houses don’t just creak with age — they remember.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
