IN THIS EPISODE: In Japanese folklore there lurks a vengeful spirit known as Teke Teke, her upper body dragging along at impossible speeds with a chilling "teke teke" sound. If you hear her approach, run fast and be kind to others, for her wrath falls upon the cruel - and those who are unlucky enough to cross her path may find themselves torn in two, joining her in death. (The Terrifying Tale of Teke Teke) *** Strange occurrences took place in 1955 on a property near Mayanup, West Australia. Bill and Ethel Hack witnessed a series of inexplicable phenomena which Ethel meticulously recorded. From eerie whistling sounds and stones falling from the sky to strange lights and violent disturbances, Ethel’s detailed written account reveals the chaos and fear that gripped their property, affecting both the Hacks and their aboriginal workers. Despite numerous investigations, the mystery of the Mayanup poltergeist remains unresolved, captivating paranormal enthusiasts and researchers to this day. (The Mayanup Australia Entity) *** In June 1977, Portuguese Air Force pilot Jose Francisco Rodrigues encountered a mysterious UFO over the Castelo de Bode Dam, leading to a near-fatal dive and unexplained aircraft malfunctions. Despite numerous witnesses and a thorough investigation, the incident remains an unsolved incident. (The 1977 Near Miss With a UFO In Portugal) *** Just three days after Christmas in 1978, Bob Young and his girlfriend Elizabeth Andes were preparing to move out of their shared apartment in Oxford, Ohio. When Bob returned to help with the final cleanup, he found their apartment dark and silent. Inside, he discovered Elizabeth's lifeless body, brutally murdered in their bedroom, sparking a horrific mystery that would haunt the small college town for decades – and put Bob Young in the crosshairs of local law enforcement. (The Shocking Unsolved Murder of Elizabeth Andes) *** Everybody has heard of teleportation, alien abductions and poltergeists, but without the pioneering work of Charles Fort, it’s unlikely any of these phenomena would have entered public consciousness.
