Matt, Katie and EJ continue their investigation of the Zombies of Haiti. We talk about the truth and lies of Voudo, and where the zombie fits into the history of this often-demonized religion. And when an alleged "real" zombie appears in Haiti in the 1980s, American academics get involved. Is there truth behind the zombie myth? Is it possible that a chemical cocktail can mimic this state of "undeath" and provide the foundation for these creatures?

In 1962, a man named Clairvius Narcisse died in a Haitian hospital from kidney failure. That alone wouldn’t be remarkable, except that twenty years later, that same man reappeared, alive and well. He claimed that he’d been resurrected from the dead, and forced to work for years on a sugar plantation. He toiled alongside several other enslaved zombies until a successful uprising, where they killed their overlord sorcerer and freed themselves. Narcisse’s incredible story is one of dark magic, arcane rituals and underbelly of organized crime in Haiti.

Matt, Katie and EJ tackle the latest in Fortean news this month. New revelations about the government's involvement in UAPs come to light, and spark renewed interest in an old UFO story. A new Sasquatch video looks less than impressive, and we'd all rather stay at the new cryptid-themed rental spot. Plus, paranormal celebrity gossip!

Matt, Katie and EJ conclude their investigation of Bhangarh Fort, allegedly one of the most haunted locations in the world. Ghost hunting groups start their searches for the paranormal, but some think they've pushed the spirits too far. When tragedy hits the Indian Paranormal Society, rumors of the curse are reignited. But is Bhangarh truly haunted? Or is there something else lurking in the shadows of the crumbling ruins?

Deep in the heart of India’s largest state lies an abandoned ruin. Bhangarh Fort was once a thriving kingdom boasting temples, markets and a palace but now looms empty, forgotten by time. These days, locals and tourists roam the crumbling ruins, reveling in the history. But by night, the massive gate is locked, and the site is shut down. Legend claims that anyone left behind after the sun sets takes their life into their own hands. Because under cover of darkness, the spirits of the dead haunt the fort, preying on the living. Unseen presences, ghostly voices, physical attacks even demonic possession plague anyone fool enough to test the spirits. These tales have given the fort a reputation as one of the most haunted places in the world.
