IN THIS EPISODE: We look into the creepy swamps of Louisiana, where gators and snakes are the least of your worries as compared to the paranormal. (Swamp Legends of Louisiana) *** From building fake cities, to creating ghost army bases, to playing stupid in front of the enemy, we’ll look at some of the most cleverly deceptive tactics that have been used in war throughout history. (Brilliant Wartime Deceptions) *** Chung Ling Soo was one of the greatest magicians of his time – so much so the he was able to not only conceal items up his sleeves, but conceal his true identity. (The Magician Who Lived a Double Life) *** In 1974 five little girls disappeared in a span of just three months – two were later found deceased, but the remaining three have never been found. And the kidnapper and murderer has never been brought to justice… nor do we have any idea who it was.

For the Cherokee Indians, the rock and surrounding area is a sacred site where ceremonies used to take place. Indeed, Judaculla Rock is surrounded by rumors and legends, including strange sounds and UFO sightings during the night. (The Indecipherable Judaculla Rock) *** In 1971 children from all over the United States were being rushed into hospital emergency rooms with a very strange symptom… what was causing otherwise healthy children to create pink poop?
