This week Bekah and Eric talk about two of the most historically significant UFO cases of the 20th century. First: The extraordinary case of Betty and Barney Hill- the first UFO abduction report! Second: The most widely witnessed UFO sighting in United States history: The Phoenix Lights
PLUS: guess which movie star made his Escape from New York to witness the Phoenix Lights in his private airplane- he reported The Thing to air traffic control , as serious as a Tombstone.
In our 4th Christmas episode, which may or may not have been done under the influence of holiday cheer, we take a look at some of the dark and devilish company that Saint Nicholas keeps in France, Belgium and regions of Germany.

Jackalope Carnival again takes to the high seas in search of abandoned ghost vessels, ghosts on ships and ships that are ghosts.
