This week we discuss the strange A3 Ghost Crash. A group of people witnessed a fatal car accident. When police went to investigate they did find a crashed car, but not the one the group witnessed! This one is eerily similar to the SOS Sign Mystery, and allowed us to explore where true crime meets the paranormal.
See you Monday!

Exploring the true story behind one of the most famous alien abduction cases of all time, the Travis Walton Incident.
In 1975, a group of loggers reported seeing a strange light in the forest. One was struck by a mysterious blue beam, fell unconscious, and later vanished.
