IN THIS EPISODE: Sightings of advanced alien craft disappearing beneath the waves are as frequent as those in the skies. Are these submerged realms hiding the true secrets of alien life on Earth? (Extraterrestrials In The Abyss) *** In 1969, a strange man's disturbing "joke" about strangling a woman led to the unraveling of a horrific series of murders. Jerome "Jerry" Brudos, known as the "Shoe Fetish Killer," had been living a double life - family man by day, brutal serial killer by night. Somehow, his childhood obsession with women's shoes spiraled into a murderous rampage that shocked the public and ended only when a secret workshop revealed its grisly contents. (The Shoe Fetish Killer) *** In the heart of New Orleans' Garden District stands Buckner Mansion, a breathtaking testament to antebellum opulence and a magnet for ghost hunters and history buffs alike. Built to outshine its rivals, this Greek Revival masterpiece has witnessed over 150 years of triumphs, tragedies, and unexplained phenomena. From its days as a slaveholder's showpiece to its starring role in TV’s "American Horror Story," Buckner Mansion continues to captivate visitors with its grandeur and the persistent whispers of its spectral inhabitants. (White Columns, Dark Secrets: The Buckner Mansion) *** In the 6th century AD, a terrifying sea monster known as Porphyrios emerged from the depths to wreak havoc on Byzantine ships, challenging even Emperor Justinian's mighty fleet. This legendary whale, whether sperm whale or orca, became the stuff of nightmares for sailors and the subject of heated debate among historians for centuries. (The Bosphorus Beast Porphyrios) *** The enigmatic Nazca lines have puzzled archaeologists and enthusiasts for decades, with some claiming they're ancient runways for extraterrestrial visitors or evidence of advanced human flight. But as we delve deeper into the mystery, we find that the truth may be far more grounded in human ingenuity and cultural symbolism than sci-fi fantasies. (Nazca’s Alien Runways)
