Timothy Grieve-Carlson returns and brings three stories of the paranormal from early American history. First we hear the story of Eleseba Beeler and what is likely the first documented poltergeist in America. The case involves buried treasure, aggressive spirits, messages from beyond, and a strange religious ritual at the Ephrata Cloister. We also hear a tale of telepathic communication and a very strange UFO report submitted to Thomas Jefferson.
