What was it? And why did nearly 1 million people who came down with the disease die from it, while so many others did not? (The Forgotten Epidemic) *** Horror and Sci-Fi author and Weird Darkness fan J.D. Buffington doesn’t believe in such things as ghosts. If Houdini couldn't reach his wife from the other side, then certainly no one else could, either, right?  But that being said, J.D. has had some weird stuff take place in his life.  (My Many Ghostly Encounters) *** Soon after moving into a sprawling Denver mansion, Russell Hunter sensed he wasn't alone.  I’ll share true events that inspired the film, “The Changeling”. (The Real Life Events That Inspired “The Changeling”) *** For those who claim to have spoken with extraterrestrials, they are told the aliens arrive here from other worlds. But what if the so-called aliens aren’t really aliens at all – what if they humans, visiting from the future? (Aliens: Us From a Future Time?) *** Do parallel dimensions really exist?  And if they do, is it possible to travel to them?  Two people have stories that might have you believing you can – one of them having “Lunch In a Different Dimension”.  Weirdo family member Kayla Moore sends an original story of her own creation that she calls “The Han House”.CHAPTERS & TIME STAMPS (All Times Approximate)…00:00.00.000 = Title Story Preview and Show Open00:03:23.395 = Aliens: Us From a Future Time?00:12:22.269 = My Many Ghostly Encounters00:31:29.404 = The Real Life Events That Inspired “The Changeling”00:37:37.681 = The Forgotten Epidemic00:43:19.968 = Lunch In a Different Dimension00:59:13.927 = The Han House01:20:10.969 = Show CloseSOURCES AND REFERENCES FROM THE EPISODE…“Aliens: Us From a Future Time?” by Nick Redfern: http://bit.ly/2JptCDF“My Many Ghostly Encounters” by J.D.
