Sadly, the past is gone and cannot be changed – nor can we see into the future to prepare for what’s to come. We live in the here and now, and that is a constant. Or… is it? We’ll look at the mystery of time slips. What happens when ordinary people suddenly find themselves walking through streets, shops, and landscapes from decades past — and then snap back to the present with no explanation?

IN THIS EPISODE: Edvard Munch’s painting “The Scream” from 1892 is a masterpiece of the macabre – and when you hear him describe the piece and his inspiration for it, you’ll realize the painting is a lot closer to the artist’s life than anyone would want. (Curing Edvard Munch) *** Have you ever wondered why ghosts in the movies are so often female? What makes female ghosts scarier than male ghosts? I mean aside from that whole “a woman scorned” thing? We’ll look at some famous – and infamous female ghosts and urban legends around the world. (Infamous Female Ghosts and Urban Legends) *** Sadly, the past is gone and cannot be changed – nor can we see into the future to prepare for what’s to come. We live in the here and now, and that is a constant. Or… is it? We’ll look at the mystery of time slips. (On The Edge of Time) *** AND MORE!
