Cannibals and Killers

Real monsters are behind our greatest legends. This episode takes us into the belly of the beast to find the surprising truths behind history's most mythic cannibals and killers. Does a banshee born during the Revolutionary War still curse the North Carolina woods? Plus, a medieval clan of cannibals out for blood in 16th century Scotland, and did a fairy tale villain named Bluebeard inspire a notorious Chicago World's Fair serial killer? And, could real zombies walk among us, created by a potion from puffer fish?
