#ConnectiveTissue | The Man Who Went Fishing And Didn't Come Home
In September 1988, a boy with a slingshot found Joaquim Sebastião Gonçalves in the marsh grass at São Paulo's Billings Reservoir, three days after he'd swum across the water to fish, and the autopsy listed his eyes, ears, lips and abdominal organs as missing, with some of the wounds made while his blood was still circulating. Five years later, a researcher writing in a Brazilian UFO magazine concluded the crew of a flying saucer had killed him, and the case still goes by the name of a different reservoir several kilometers away, Guarapiranga.

SAY HER NAME THREE TIMES: Bloody Mary And The Ghosts In The Mirror
It’s two sentences. The first is Bloody Mary as kids still play it. The second is the 1700s mirror ritual: girls ate an apple at a candlelit mirror and watched for a face over their shoulder. It was supposed to be their future husband’s, and a skeleton’s meant they’d die before they married. It leaves out the science explanation at the end of the segment, so the episode still gets to deliver that.

#ConnectiveTissue | Under Hypnosis, She Watched Them Work On The Cow
In May 1973, Judy Doraty pulled over outside Houston to watch a strange light in the sky, and years later, under hypnosis, she described a cow lifted into a chamber aboard a craft and worked on by two small beings while she watched. From Colorado's San Luis Valley to a stretch of Welsh mountains nicknamed the sheep mutilation corridor, UFO reports and dead livestock share the same ground, and when a Texas man's sheep turned up mutilated in 2013, the sheriff said, "This was too clean to be an animal."

HAUNTED LIGHTHOUSES: The Keepers Who Never Went Off Duty | #WDRadio
Michigan's Old Presque Isle Lighthouse had been out of service for more than a century when the Coast Guard pulled out its wiring in 1979 to stop an amber light that kept glowing in the empty tower, and Coast Guard crews and National Guard pilots later reported seeing it lit again.

In September 1967, Harry King found his sister's Appaloosa, Lady, on her side near Alamosa, Colorado, with the flesh stripped from her head and neck, no blood on the ground, and her tracks ending about a hundred feet from her body. By the end of the 1970s, researchers estimated cattle mutilations had passed ten thousand, and the principal federally funded investigation, run by a retired FBI agent, blamed the vast majority on predators and scavengers.

THERE ARE NO FEMALE SERIAL KILLERS: What The FBI Got Wrong In 1998

Jack the Ripper's own countrywoman, Mary Ann Cotton, had already claimed three or four times as many victims as he did, most of them children, and historians still chase the Ripper's identity while almost never mentioning her.

THE DAEMON WOOD: Terror At Saltpeter Creek | #MidnightInTheMacabre
For years, a man in eastern Baltimore County would walk to the edge of the deep woods behind his neighborhood, and stare into the trees until he could feel something in there staring back, and he'd stay put until it seemed angry enough to hurt him before he finally turned and walked home. By the night he threw a party in those same woods, out on a little point of land reaching into the creek and well away from the deep part, he'd long since stopped thinking about whatever had been watching him.
