One fateful night in 1977, three teenagers in Massachusetts saw something they couldn't explain. Was it really the demon they all thought it was? Perhaps an extraterrestrial checking out the scenery...or maybe something even weirder.

While the title definitely sounds like we're about to pitch a sexy new series for Starz or something, there's actually a little bit more to it. This week we're diving into The Affair of the Poisons and The Affair of the Diamond Necklace, both of which are very French and also heavily feature fun women and stupidly horny men. Like most historical stories, it seems.

Somewhere between a grunting, club-wielding dullard and Fred Flinstone lies the reality of what cavemen actually were. Despite the archaic idea of a Neanderthal living on in the minds of many, there were a lot of complexities in the lives of one of our ancient relatives and we're going to get into them and what it meant to be an archaic species of human (or what scientists theorize it was like.)

We had a few more lighthouse jokes left in us so we took them to Scotland! Only this time the weird part isn't so much what people saw on the island of Eilean Mor and more what they didn't see.

As it turns out, Salem wasn't the only time in history when you could just accuse someone of being a witch and have them legally executed. People have been doing that old song and dance for a while. This week we get into a few of the notable hunts and how, exactly, these hunts were legal.

There was once a time when everyone was into ferns. Like... REALLY into ferns. We can't explain why people are so weird, but we can get into the Fern-Fever that overtook Victorian-era England.

We're going to level with you... there's a lot of trivia and history about lighthouses in this episode. However, there are also old sea captains, insanity-inducing piano performances, more little girls than you can shake a really big stick at, and, the attempted exorcism of an entire island.
