    31:21|
    In the 1970s, Bashir Kouchacji survived being kidnapped and tortured in Beirut after his captors accused him of being a CIA agent.

At first there was only silence, then laughter, then a childlike voice that seemed to know where he was, who he knew, and how afraid he had become.

  • The Phantom Hearse | Death Coaches, Corpse Roads and Funerals from the Future

    35:32|
    Across Ireland, Wales, Scotland, Brittany and beyond, people have long told stories of ghostly hearses, black coaches and funeral processions seen before a death has happened. Sometimes the sound of wheels is heard on an empty road, sometimes mourners pass silently along an old church path, and sometimes a hearse appears in a mirror before vanishing without trace.

    In Brazil, some legends do not stay in the past. They wait in the mist of an old railway village, in the mirror of a school bathroom, and on lonely roads where hoofbeats are heard after dark. Tonight, we step into three stories of ghosts, curses, and things you may hear before you ever see them.
