Details
This record unfortunately reflects only the last three-quarters of the episode.

Half Moon Bay, CA
Moss Beach Distillery, a former speakeasy that is now a restaurant, is the site of much phenomena, including apparently sourceless cold winds, poltergeist activity, a disembodied voice, and as many as five different ghosts, including the apparition of a "lady in blue." The lady in blue is rumored to be either a woman who died in a car accident or by one who was accidentally murdered.

Los Angeles, CA
The Drum Barracks, a Civil War Union Army facility that is now a small museum is the location of poltergeist activity, sourceless noises, and the apparitions of several civil war officers and a boy.

Chicago, IL
Resurrection Cemetery is the source of a local urban legend called "Resurrection Mary." She is a woman who appears--sometimes appearing fully human, sometimes without a face--and at times accepts rides from passing cars. On occassion, she will even go to dances, one of which she was reportedly returning from when she was killed in a 1934 car accident. The apparition of Resurrection Mary has ice-cold hands and appears in a white gown. This urban legend has also been reported in the Ramapo Valley of New York. (See Haunted History: New York for more information.)

Unknown location
Theresa Wilson, a woman who lost her beloved husband decades before, receives a love note from him on her eightieth birthday.
