Life in the mob was hell for Freddie Cobo. By 1978 he'd crossed lines he thought he'd never cross — including committing multiple murders. But getting out of "the life" was easier said than done, especially when your boss is the most vicious and feared mobster in the city.

Can Freddie get out of "the life" alive? Can he give his son, Little Freddie, one last innocent trick-or-treating memory for Halloween? Or will death snatch him up first?

In 2002, somebody broke into Big Ed's Junkyard and "stole" 7 old, out-of-circulation school buses. But rather than drive them out of the open gate to get away, the thief or thieves simply left the old buses stranded against the fence inside the yard... why?

That's exactly what Miss Monette is determined to figure out. But will this seemingly unimportant mystery unravel into something much bigger than a simple break-in gone bad? Does this odd little happening even really matter? The answer to both of these questions is a resounding YES.

You're going to want to take a listen to see how it all unfolds in the first case of this new, ongoing series within a series called "Miss Monette's Mysteries".

What do you think? Any theories? Any hunches? Grab some earbuds, put on your detective hat and join Miss Monette on her quest for answers... and let the mystery begin!

It's safe to say we've gotten pretty high up with all the stories we've explored here at SSH so far — and the higher we go, the more to behold. But we can't stay safe up here forever...

Sometimes we have to go Several Stories Down — deep down into the dark caverns and basements and cellars where all our nightmares and fears and secrets are buried.

So put on some headphones, turn the lights down low and tune your imagination into the fear that we're all afraid to face — but only if you dare.

These stories my be disturbing to some people, so proceed with caution and have a happy Halloween.

How did the American city of Wexler come to be known as "The Butterfly City"?

The story actually begins in Kent County, England, on a cool autumn evening in 1870. Priscilla Paxton and Edmond Moore met at ball held at Boswell Manor ... little did they know that a simple dance would blossom into a beautiful friendship, a life-long romance, and so much more.

I wasn't sure if there would be any connection on this visit with relatives. All I knew was that I wanted to sit down with family and press record. I had no idea how special the conversation would turn out. In our second SSH true tale, you'll hear a story that stretches all the way back to the Second World War. I'm still not quite sure what to make of it. Only time will tell.
