Have you ever been driving a familiar route when all of a sudden something clicks and you realize you don’t remember having driven for the last half hour? Or, even stranger, one moment you’re minding your own business in your own timeline, and suddenly it seems you’re in a completely different timeline? Some claim to have experienced moments where time seems to jump hours, days or years ahead, or slip back into the past, in a mere instant… leaving them scratching their heads and wondering:...

In 1911 a woman named Zsuzsanna Fazekas, who would come to be called Aunt Suzy, arrived in the small village of Negyrev, Hungary.

What if you could talk to loved ones who have died? What would you say? What would you hope to hear?

Some mysteries deep in the vast wilds of this country are the stuff of legend, but could they actually be signs of foreign worlds, or other dimensions?

Objects mysteriously move and doors lock on their own, scrawled writing appears on walls of empty rooms, a centuries-old nun walks the misty gardens, and long-dead residents seem to cozy up in their former bedrooms.

A conman can only be as good as the systems that prop him up, and in the case of Richard Walter that happened to be the very system he was defrauding. Through lies and omissions, and a fake twinge of an English accent, Walter convinced the powers that be within the US Justice System that he was a subject matter expert in all things criminal, despite the fact that he had no real training or experience to speak of. Walter’s so-called ‘expert’ testimonies led to false convictions and destroyed...

We humans are made of a hodge-podge of parts that sometimes feels like they were designed by someone with a dark sense of humor. It is amazing, and frankly terrifying how little we actually do understand about the inner workings of our bodies. From vestigal twins and disappearing tumors, to x-ray vision and picking up radio waves with your teeth, its no wonder that some people believe in gods and demons. In some cases, no amount of science can explain the bizarre unknown of the human...
