    The Medieval Dance of Death: The Dancing Plague of 1518 (France)

    19/07/2026 | 23 mins.
    In the summer of 1518, the people of Strasbourg watched in horror as a woman stepped into the street and began to dance. She didn't stop for days. Then dozens joined her. Then hundreds. Men, women, and children danced until their feet bled, their bodies collapsed, and some died from exhaustion. The city responded by building stages, hiring musicians, and forcing the victims to dance even more—turning a public health crisis into one of history's most surreal disasters. Tonight, we unravel the mystery of the Dancing Plague of 1518 and ask the unsettling question: what if the deadliest epidemic wasn't a disease of the body, but of the mind?

    The Nightmare That Inspired Freddy Krueger: The Hmong Sleep Deaths (United States)

    18/07/2026 | 24 mins.
    In the early 1980s, healthy young Hmong refugees across the United States began dying in their sleep. They went to bed exhausted and never woke up. Medical examiners found no poison, no disease, and no obvious cause of death. But the victims all shared the same terrifying belief: a malevolent night spirit called the dab tsog had come to crush the life from their bodies. The unexplained deaths became one of modern medicine's greatest mysteries—and inspired a young filmmaker named Wes Craven to create one of horror's most iconic monsters. Tonight, we uncover the heartbreaking true story behind A Nightmare on Elm Street.

    The Forest That Eats People: The Molalla River Corridor (Oregon)

    17/07/2026 | 20 mins.
    The city of Molalla, Oregon, proudly hides Bigfoot in its official logo. At first glance, it seems like a fun nod to Pacific Northwest folklore. But beyond the town limits lies a forest with a far darker reputation. Over the decades, its maze of logging roads and steep canyons became the dumping ground for serial killers, the hiding place of cults, the final resting place of missing people, and the setting for some of Oregon's most disturbing crimes. Tonight, we venture into the Molalla River corridor, where the real monsters never needed oversized footprints.

    The Cemetery That Buried Portland's Secrets: Lone Fir Cemetery (Oregon)

    16/07/2026 | 22 mins.
    Tucked beneath the trees of southeast Portland lies a cemetery that holds nearly every chapter of the city's history. Here rest Oregon Trail pioneers, forgotten psychiatric patients, Chinese railroad laborers, ship captains, politicians, and a man who may have been wrongfully executed after begging to face his accusers one last time. Over the years, visitors have reported phantom voices, drifting incense, grieving spirits, and an overwhelming sense that some stories refuse to stay buried. Tonight, we walk the quiet paths of Lone Fir Cemetery and uncover the people history almost erased.

    The Coffin Filled with Whiskey: The Aurora Colony (Oregon)

    15/07/2026 | 24 mins.
    In the heart of Oregon's Willamette Valley sits the quiet town of Aurora, a place founded by a man who once predicted the end of the world... and, when it didn't happen, set out to build heaven instead.

    Led by the charismatic Wilhelm Keil, the Aurora Colony became one of America's most successful utopian communities. Along the way came a coffin filled with whiskey crossing the Oregon Trail, a rooftop brass band, devastating epidemics, remarkable women who defied tradition, and a legacy that still lingers in the streets of one of Oregon's best-preserved historic towns. 

    Tonight, we uncover the extraordinary true story of the Aurora Colony.
