Mystifying Murders - The Melbourne strangler who stole his victim's names...the blood-soaker peer....the killer identified by ESP...Sydney's shark arm mystery
Uncanny Occurences - Portraits of a long-dead couple grow in mould on an Oxford wall...an eerie glow from nowhere lights an Australian cemetery for 60 years.
Hidden History - was Stalin poisoned to prevent nuclear war? Did Hitler kill his lover?
