It's been 12 years since Jennifer Kesse disappeared from her Florida home without a trace. What happened to her? We’ll look inside this case that is still a mystery. (Inside The Unsolved Disappearance of Jennifer Keese) *** In 1894, a massive fire broke out in the forests of Minnesota, killing more than 400 people. Do their ghosts remain behind with the ashes? (Under a Flaming Sky) *** A teenager tells how ghosts are just part of day-to-day living for her family. (Ghosts – A Part of Life) *** One of the most well-known explorers, Christopher Columbus, had a signature that was so perplexing that most scholars believe it is a secret code of some kind – and so far, an unbreakable code at that. (The Secret Code Signature of Christopher Columbus) *** Some victims died because they happened to leave their doors unlocked. Others had been methodically stalked. How do serial killers choose their victims? We’ll look at the methods of nine of the most notorious serial killers in history.

There was no sign of a struggle and nothing had been taken; they could only conclude that Annie had taken her own life. But is that really what happened? (The Annie Dorman Mystery) *** When you think of seeing a ghost, you almost automatically envision an ethereal being, in flowing white – like that of a woman in a wedding dress.

But what are the purpose of gargoyles?
