IN THIS EPISODE: On a barren field in the U.S. state of Georgia, five granite slabs rise in a star pattern. Each of them weighs over 20 tons and on top of them, there is a capstone. Nobody knows who built it or why they were placed there, but one popular opinion that their purpose is to guide humanity after a predicted post-apocalyptic event that will come in the not so distant future. *** When you think “fairies,” what comes to mind? You probably picture an adorable and sparkly creature akin to Disney’s Tinker Bell, a lovely – and above all, friendly – presence. You may even want to make contact with them. Unfortunately, glittering humanoids with butterfly wings are the stuff of children’s books. Retrace faerie folklore, and you’ll discover their secret scary origins. *** In the Summer of 1949, a geologist named Vadim Kolpakov discovered a strange feature on the surface of the earth in the Bodaibo, Irkutsk, region of South-Eastern Siberia. Encircled by a largely treed area, this anomaly is oval with a conical crater that contains a small ball-like mound in its middle. The geologic mystery has baffled scientists who are uncertain of what caused this weird formation. *** Is there any truth behind the enduring legend of the werewolf?
