Show Notes Chapter Markers

Episode 116 is loaded with creepy, terrifying, sad, and unbelievable stories for the Halloween season.
The show kicks off with a truly heartbreaking tale. Insane or not insane that is the question. Charles Freeman of the small Cape Cod village of Pocasset committed the ultimate crime when he murdered his 4-year-old daughter. However, his claims that it was done as a sacrifice in the name of God turn this into something different.
Mid-Coast Maine is beautiful and this time of year is perfect to visit. This week's Road Trip is a double dip. The neighboring small towns of Prospect and Bucksport go hand in hand. They are a great combination of waterfront views, foliage photography, and even the spooky. Plan your trip after this segment.
Children of the 80s and 90s reminisce about one of the most iconic shows of the time, one of the purveyors of nightmare fuel for many such kids. We go way Back in the Day to look at the Unsolved Mysteries tv show, specifically the Robert Stack version.
After running out of New England states to share weird laws from this week there is a completely different Top 5. In keeping with the season we are going to look at the Top 5 best/my favorite 1970s horror movies. I can assure you the movie named after this month's big holiday will be on it.
There will also be a brand new This Week In History and Time Capsule that shares the truly bizarre and disgusting Trunk Murders.
