A TRUE STORY. Five armed prospectors in a remote cabin were attacked by creatures that science denies...

Welcome to Ape Canyon.

In July 1924, on the volcanic slopes of Mount St. Helens, Fred Beck and his crew made a fatal mistake: they shot a massive, "Bigfoot" creature who was watching them from the cliffs.

THEN....That night, they struck back.

From the thunderous impact of boulders shattering the roof to the heavy, primal breathing testing the door, this is the harrowing true story known as the Ape Canyon incident.

Step inside the claustrophobic nightmare where Sasquatch folklore collides with gritty reality, leaving five men trapped in the dark with one terrifying question:

What happens when the apex predator isn't you?

When the world refuses to let a star die, it builds something to replace her.

After the death of actress Tessa Hawthorne, a synthetic continuation wakes up years later...perfectly engineered to perform, speak, and exist on command. But fragments of memory begin to surface: a childhood trailer in Idaho, a grandmother’s kitchen, a death that doesn’t match the official story.

As the line between machine and person collapses, buried truths emerge about ownership, control, and what it means to be kept alive for profit. This episode explores identity, memory, and the terrifying cost of immortality...through the eyes of something that was never meant to remember.

In the dead of winter, 1862, Jean Baptiste wasn’t just digging graves; he was harvesting them. To the families of Salt Lake City, the cemetery was sacred ground. To Baptiste, it was a supply closet. He cracked open coffins like walnut shells, stripping the stiffening bodies of the innocent...men, women, and children...treating them as nothing more than mannequins.

But the horror wasn't just in the ground. It was in his home.

When police finally kicked down his door, they didn't just find stolen suits or wedding dresses. They walked into a nightmare: a house heated by the splintered wood of coffins, the air thick with the smell of death, and a corner stacked high with the most terrifying trophies of all-sixty pairs of children’s shoes.

This is the true story of a monster who lived among us, wearing the clothes of our dead. A man who was branded and exiled to a desolate island in a dead sea, only to vanish into the night.
