James Waldo, a professional geologist with the Army Corps of Engineers, has seen them on many occasions in the Ozark Mountains of Arkansas, and gives us a few ideas on what their causes might be.&amp;nbsp; Then in the conclusion to our Halloween series for 2019, we look to one of the most frightening and ubiquitous terrors of all time: that of the &quot;Man in Black.&quot; Since ancient times, our fear of darkness has led us to view mysterious, black-clad strangers as omens or harbingers of misfortune. This universal theme of a mysterious evil force embodied in an odd, and at times a mischievous stranger, has become a staple of the horror novels written by &quot;The Master Storyteller&quot; Stephen King over the years. What are the origins of this ultimate evil, and why does it so often take the form of a mysterious &quot;Man in Black,&quot; whether in fiction, folk traditions from around the world, or even modern literature pertaining to UFO encounters?&amp;nbsp; Below are links to stories featured in this week's episode:&amp;nbsp; 'World's scariest haunted house' offers $20,000 to anyone who can finish it Divers Find Mysterious Giant Egg Floating in the Ocean Edward Snowden searched the CIA's networks for proof that aliens exist William R.
