Beyond Bizarre - Episode 7

Weird Anthropology
Weird science anyone? Meet Charles Gatewood, armed with a degree 
in anthropology, he has taken to the streets with cameras to document 
the unconventional behavior of the human species. As author and 
filmmaker, he has 30 years of success capturing the " bizarre." 
Along the way we will meet modern Pagans, Gothics, and visit a 
large festival called "Burning Man."
Chupacabra
Could this mysterious creature be the mutant offshoot of an errant pet? 
Or an intelligent being which found its way to earth eons ago? In either 
case this carnivorous animal has been reported to have mutilated various 
animals throughout many Latin American communities. Follow our Beyond 
Bizarre crew to Puerto Rico, where locals describe the carnage left behind 
by these barbaric beasts.
Bizarre Audio Phenomena
One quiet evening in the spring of 1991, Winona Whitted of Taos, New Mexico, 
woke up to a low grumbling noise. Ever since, the people of Taos are being 
driven mad by the mysterious sound. And listen as scientists are trying to 
solve a puzzling mystery -  the phenomenon of singing sands, found in 
various parts of the world. The intriguing sounds have perplexed the 
scientific community.
Bodie
The town of Bodie is now long dead, but its legend lives on. You see, 
Bodie hides a terrifying secret...or so that's what many of its yearly 
visitors, and even some park rangers, contend. Picturesque and 
steeped in the colorful legends of the Old West, many of the buildings 
in Bodie are now currently under the process of being refurbished and 
restored to their original splendor. But, behind the new facades lies a 
bizarre and very real threat. It seems that any visitor that removes an 
artifact from the ghostly town of Bodie carries with them a little 
something extra ... the curse of Bodie ...and the dangers that 
accompany it.
Zombies
Chief among our fears as humans is the shadowy belief, and uncertainty, 
of life after death. But what if life after death did not mean heaven or hell, 
but instead an afterlife of servitude and mortal slavery? Hollywood has 
painted a graphic picture for us all to see, and what is illustrated on that 
canvas is what we have all come to know as "Zombies." Come with us 
now as we investigate and uncover the bizarre world of the living dead, 
a dark side of the Voodoo belief-system in Haiti.
