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.

FEATURED STORIES IN THIS EPISODE: Could there be floating balls of light not only possessed of some sort of intelli­gence, but which are capable of forming a unique bond with a person and even delivering painful stings when they so choose? (Sentient Fireballs and Biting Lights) *** Cattle sometimes die suddenly on Silvies Valley Ranch’s 140,000 acres in Harney County — struck by disease or felled by a broken leg and unable to find a way out of the rugged, forested terrain. But by the time ranch hands discovered four more dead bulls within 24 hours, they knew they were likely dealing with deliberate, premeditated killings. (Oregon Cattle Mutilations) *** To quote one survivor of a near-death experience: “I know of no English words for the combination of joy, ecstasy, love, and requited longing that burned within me. It carried me to a dimension I never knew existed. In that moment, there was no pain of loss, only unity, rapture and reunion.” Is it possible that we may soon have scientific evidence for what lies beyond the veil? (New Evidence of Life After Death) *** Seeing specters in the reflection of a mirror or piece of glass is not just a cliché movie trope. There is a history that goes along with the happening. (Ghost In The Mirror) *** We’ve all heard of haunted forests – but there is one that is so disturbing it drives some people to want to commit murder! (Where The Woods Entice You To Murder) *** When it comes to ghostly apparitions, the White Lady are ubiquitous. But a theater in Sunderland, England has not just a White Lady specter, but also the haunting Grey Lady… and the ghost of a comedian. (Haunted Empire Theater)

EPISODE SYNOPSIS:
This episode of Weird Darkness runs from a haunted well in the Essex countryside to stinging balls of light, the ghosts said to live in mirrors, a theater haunted by a vanished stage manager and a comedian, mutilated bulls in Oregon, and a man who says he went into the light with a mother and her dying son.
It opens at Cash's Well in Langdon Hills Country Park near Basildon, England, where ghost sightings go back to 1924 and ghost hunter Russell Old says the spirits of as many as 20 children take visitors by the hand. On one tour, Old says, a gentle seven-foot man turned so aggressive at the top of a hill that he said afterward, "I just wanted to kill everybody."
From there it's on to lights that seem to choose their targets, like the tiny ones Martha Grieswell of Richmond, Indiana, said crawled over her at night in 1978, stung like sweat bees, survived two days underwater and a stretch in her freezer, and turned up at her mother's house in Decatur. Others were deadlier: near Palestine, Texas, a boy reported that a ball of fire had struck a woman on horseback and set her ablaze, and she died the next day.
Next comes the ghost in the mirror, from the Bloody Mary ritual chanted in candlelit bathrooms at sleepovers back to the obsidian scrying mirrors of ancient Egypt and the psychomanteum, which Raymond Moody says the ancient Greeks used to contact the dead. In China, mirrors were turned over after a death so the departed wouldn't see a reflection and realize they'd become a ghost, and in the 1700s, girls in the British Isles ate an apple before a candlelit mirror to glimpse a future husband, while a skeleton's face meant death before the wedding. Bloody Mary herself has been tied to Mary I of England and to a witch called Mary Worth, burned at the stake around the Civil War; Japan's schoolchildren summon Hanako-san instead, knocking three times on the third stall of a third-floor girls' restroom.
After that, Sunderland's Empire Theatre in England is home to a White Lady thought to be Molly Moselle, an assistant stage manager who stepped out for a birthday card on January 14th, 1949, and was never seen again. Sid James suffered a fatal heart attack on the same stage in 1976 while the audience laughed, thinking it was part of the show, and actors say they've heard his laugh in dressing room one.
From England the episode crosses to the Silvies Valley Ranch in Harney County, Oregon, where five Hereford bulls were found dead on July 30th and 31st with their genitals and tongues cut away, no wounds, and no sign of a struggle. The killings echo the cattle mutilations of the 1970s, which led to a 1979 FBI investigation that found the animals had likely died of natural causes.
The episode closes with Michael Grosso's look at near-death experiences, deathbed visions, terminal lucidity, and shared death experiences. Mary Fran was killed instantly in a car crash, and her son, Nolan, died in the hospital days later with Scott M. Taylor, president of the Monroe Institute, at the boy's bedside. Taylor says he was in two places at once, standing among the weeping family while Mary Fran lifted Nolan from his body and the three of them went into the light.

Li Shizhen, a 16th-century Chinese apothecary, wrote of aged holy men in Arabia who ate nothing but honey until they died, then lay sealed in honey for a century to become a sugary remedy for broken bones. In Europe, King Charles II of England drank powdered human skull in alcohol, and the poor paid for cups of still-warm blood at executions.

FEATURED STORIES IN THIS EPISODE: Of all the instances of cannibalism found in human history, no one quite practiced it like some in China used to. In these cases, cannibalism came in the form of eating mellified flesh for medicinal purposes. In 16th century China, mellification was a way for elderly people nearing the end of their lives to donate their body to science. The idea, originally derived from an Arabic recipe, was that they could turn their bodies into medicine that would be ingested by their descendants to alleviate ailments like broken bones. The process of mellification was a gruesome one. In short, it consisted of very slowly turning one’s body into a mummified human candy bar. And that’s not even the worst part — for mellification to be the most effective, the process started while the person was still alive.

EPISODE SYNOPSIS:
This episode of Weird Darkness covers the legend of the mellified man, a 4,300-year-old Bronze Age tomb in Georgia filled with honey-cured offerings, the self-mummifying Buddhist monks of Japan, and the centuries Europeans spent swallowing powdered skull, human fat, and fresh blood as medicine.
It opens with mellification, in which an elderly volunteer ate and bathed in nothing but honey until death, then lay in a stone coffin of honey for up to a century before the remains were sold at market to treat wounds and broken bones, a practice historians have never confirmed with physical evidence.
From there, archaeologist Zurab Makharadze describes cutting into the Ananauri 3 burial mound beside Georgia's Alazani River in 2015, where wild berries cured in honey 4,300 years ago were still red and still smelled sweet, buried with two full-size wagons, gold jewelry, and bones dusted in flower pollen.
Next, the legend is traced to the 16th-century Chinese pharmacologist Li Shizhen, who heard of the Arabian "honey person" secondhand from Tao Jiucheng, and set beside other honey burials, from the golden sarcophagus of honey Alexander the Great was reportedly placed in to the wax-and-honey-coated body of King Edward I of England.
The 17th-century English writer Richard Baxter, who treated his bleeding with moss grown on a human skull, leads into Europe's corpse medicine: King Charles II's King's Drops of powdered skull in alcohol, German physician Johann Schroeder's recipe for curing the flesh of an executed redheaded man, and French pharmacist Antoine-François de Fourcroy's instructions for rendering human fat.
After that come the Shingon Buddhist monks of Japan who practiced sokushinbutsu, starving away their body fat for years, drinking tea from the toxic urushi tree, and ringing a bell inside a tomb until the ringing stopped and their fellow monks sealed it.
The episode closes with Louise Noble's search for why a John Donne poem calls women "mummy, possessed", a trail that led her and Richard Sugg of England's University of Durham to Thomas Willis's drink of powdered skull and chocolate, a 1679 recipe for blood marmalade, and a last known attempt in 1908 to swallow blood at a German scaffold.

EPISODE SYNOPSIS:
This episode of Weird Darkness runs from a cursed lake in Nevada to an unsolved string of murders in the New Mexico desert, a woman reduced to ash in a Florida apartment, and three haunted landmarks in Illinois.
It opens at Nevada's Pyramid Lake, where legend says a mermaid banished from a village cursed the shoreline, then moves on to the albino creatures said to stalk Hicks Road in San Jose, the burned asylum ruins and hooded cult of Turnbull Canyon, the curse on Los Angeles's Griffith Park, the blue Firewater Ghost of Mississippi's Deer Island, Russia's Molyobka Triangle, and Italy's Poveglia Island.
From there, the episode turns to the West Mesa of Albuquerque, New Mexico, where a woman walking her dog in February 2009 found the first bones of 11 women and girls buried there between 2001 and 2005. The killer known as the West Mesa Bone Collector has never been identified, and Albuquerque Crime Stoppers still offers a $100,000 reward.
Next comes spontaneous human combustion and the case of Mary Reeser, found on July 2nd, 1951, as a smoldering pile of ash with part of one leg and a black slipper in her St. Petersburg, Florida, apartment. Her death is set beside those of Matilda Rooney in Seneca, Illinois, Margaret Hogan in Dublin, and Michael Faherty in Galway, the first death in Ireland a coroner ruled spontaneous human combustion, and weighed against the forensic explanation called the wick effect.
The episode closes in the Rock River Valley northwest of Chicago, where staff say former mayor Robert Hall Tinker still moves the silverware around at Rockford's Tinker Swiss Cottage and tour guides place the Lady in Black in the basement of Galena's DeSoto House Hotel. At DeKalb's Egyptian Theatre, staff report shadow figures in Aisle One, where Irv Kummerfeldt, a co-founder of the group behind the theater's restoration, died of a heart attack while cleaning up after a show.

In the Algonquian stories of the Great Lakes winter woods, a man who eats human flesh to survive comes back as the Wendigo, a giant of skin and bone that grows hungrier with every meal. Darren holds the legend up against Paul, Solomon, and Isaiah, and finds the same appetite in the man who works himself away from his kids, the gossip who feeds on a congregation, and the kid who starts small and ends up stealing from his mother's purse.

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. It's one of sixteen lighthouses, from Maine to Oregon, where keepers, captains, and their families are said to have never left.
==========
HOUR ONE: If their walls could talk, lighthouses could share many stories from the past. Unfortunately, these objects don’t have the ability to tell their tales – but the phantoms that haunt them just might.
SUDDEN DEATH OVERTIME: People have said they feel drained after seeing Black-Eyed Kids, or exhausted when speaking with whom they later discovered was a self-proclaimed vampire. Is it possible that otherworldly, ghostly entities, interdimensional creatures, and even occultist human beings are, in some way, literally feeding on us? (When The Supernatural Feeds On Us)
==========
HOUR TWO: Is it possible that the monster your child sees under the bed or in the closet isn’t imaginary after all? We look at some true stories of people coming face to face with monsters in their own home. (When The Monster in the Closet is Real) *** Even for those immersed in Ufology, for many, a certain controversial subject is so troubling and disturbing they choose to outright ignore it, and seldom speak of it. It’s the question – are UFOs stealing humans’ souls? (Soul-Stealing Extraterrestrials) *** Stories of prisons housing the spirits of the dead is already dreary, but in England there is a prison called “The Cage” - and the haunting spirits there are real-life witches.
