On this episode, we bring you a moon-eyed and murky show as we wade through the strangest, creepiest, wildest news we could find this week. Including news that the full moon is upon us, a site in the UK once thought to be associated with King Arthur is, in fact, from 4000 years earlier, as well as a letter scientists have written urging the world to not make synthetic "mirror life", and a report that health researchers have stumbled upon a possible vaccine for obesity, and finally we take a look at legends of "crybaby bridges" from around the US, where the ghostly sounds of babies crying can be heard as you drive through them! All of this and then after the break, we continue our reading series as Frobisher reads more from "Our Haunted Planet," by John A. Keel.
