Episode Synopsis

Tonight, Wednesday on FADE to BLACK: Author and historian Marc Hartzman takes us on a journey through the bizarre, from oddities in history to the unexplained. With a passion for the weird and wonderful, he shares fascinating stories that challenge reality.   ABC news has called Marc Hartzman "one of America's leading connoisseurs of the bizarre" and George Noory from Coast to Coast AM said he's "as bizarre as Robert Ripley." Hartzman considers both high compliments since his passion for the unusual started with Ripley's Believe It Or Not and the annual Guinness World Records books during his youth.  In addition to his books about UFOs, ghosts, Mars, Oliver Cromwell's embalmed head, weird things on eBay, sideshow performers, and unorthodox messages from God, Hartzman has written for Mental Floss, HuffPost, AOL Weird News, All Thats Interesting.com, The Morbid Anatomy Online Journal, and Bizarre magazine. He's discussed oddities on CNN, MSNBC, Ripley's Radio, History Channel's The UnXplained, the Travel Channel's Mysteries at the Museum, and dozens of podcasts. More of his love for the unusual can be found on his site, Weird Historian.com. Outside of these projects, Hartzman earns a living as an award-winning advertising creative director.
