Source material for this episode-Emeric Spooner's book "Sarah Ware Revisited".
Yasmine takes us to Dudleytown, Connecticut to a village that has become a ghost town.  The town's namesake, the Dudley family have suffered the effects of a curse placed on them since the time of King Henry VIII!  Legend has it that despite the family curse there is something evil that lurks in the woods of Dudleytown, so much so that it is now gated to keep prying eyes out, or maybe to keep something else in...

Do you believe everything that happens on this big marble is by chance or do you believe your life path is predetermined?  In Greek mythology the Moirai or the fates determine your best life.  Yasmine breaks it down for us in the first half of the episode.  Then we dive into a historical true crime from 1898 in Bucksport, Maine that remains unsolved despite trials and multiple shady suspects.  This one is a doozy with a severed head, courtroom drama, a town-wide conspiracy, and a haunting.  Part 2 coming next week!

Fresh from vacation Jen takes us through a couple of incredible Maine legends.  First, a visit to the historical society in Bucksport, ME prompted a visit to the cemetery to visit the well known grave of Col Jonathan Bucksport that was defaced following a curse from a witch he had condemned to death.  Also in the Bucksport region is the mystery of the Red Paint People of Maine who seemingly disappeared 3800 years ago, leaving mysterious graves full of crushed hematite.  Who were they, and where did they go?
Yasmine walks us through the fascinating world of vampire folklore.  Listen as she discusses the enduring belief across all cultures that the dead can and do sometimes come back to wreak havoc on the living.  Also discover the methods deployed to insure those suspected of being undead did not exit their eternal slumber.

Elizabeth Ridgeway was known by those closest to her to have some serious character flaws, but many realized far too late the lengths she would go to to rid herself of those that irritated her in some way.  Jen kicks us off with 17th century apothecaries that provided many "cures" for common ailments via arsenic and other poisonous concoctions, but also provided people like Elizabeth a means to dispatch with those that did not meet her expectations via poisoning.  It was also rumored that she hid bottles of poison in her luscious locks!
Yasmine walks us through a well known lady cursed with a permanent bad hair day-Medusa.

Yasmine starts us off with the Dark Watchers that closely monitor the California mountains, known to be present since the Chumash people.  Reportedly featureless and make their presence known to hikers and travelers.  Are they just watching over their land?  Or is there a more sinister reason behind their presence, like aliens studying our planet and gathering information?
Jen brings a tale from a recent trip to coastal NC called The Devil's Hoofprints from Richard Walser's book "North Carolina Legends".  Bath, NC is the state's oldest town and reportedly Blackbeard's home for a time.  While the town enjoyed success as a port town at first, the townspeople's close relationship with the pirates lead to them seriously ticking off a famous evangelist, changing the town's luck to this day.  Yet another event involving Bath resident Jesse Elliott and his passion for horse racing would further cast a dark shadow over the town when he inadvertently challenged the devil himself to a race!
