S7,E10: The Feuermann
Nine students. Four minutes. A crowd of three thousand that never looked up. In 1881, a Munich art school threw a pub crawl around the world, and a single spark turned a themed party into a pyre. Why did no one scream? Why did no one help? Come with us as we uncover what really happened during this tragedy and explore the old German legend of the Feuermann.

S7,E9: The Water Remembers
Somewhere between Chicago and New Orleans, a string of river towns keeps a secret: channels that carry the mermaids home. Our story takes us to Charleston, 1867, where an apothecary named Dr. Trott put a “captured mermaid” on display. The torrential rain & flooding began the next day. The water remembers every debt - and the sea always collects.

S7,E8: The Silver Arrow
Every city’s transit system has its own legends, but few are as chilling as Stockholm’s. In the first of our Four Shadows series, guest writer Andi Bishop traces the story of the Silverpilen, the ghost train said to haunt the Stockholm metro, and the unfinished station where it makes its only stop. When a girl boards the wrong train after a late night out, she learns why the locals say “only the dead get off at Kymlinge.”

S7, E7: Hell On Earth (Rereleased)
Birmingham, AL may not be considered a "big city" - but it is the mother of big cities. After the Civil War, Birmingham became one of the lead producers of the iron that would be used to build New York & Chicago's skyscrapers. The largest manufacturer of this material was called Sloss Furnace, and the harrowing, violent stories that have risen from its past leave no question as to why it is now considered one of the most haunted locations in the United States.

There was a monster on the loose - and they would be the ones to kill it.
