not long ago on The Weather Channel:

'American Super/Natural' mixes myth and meteorology


Bad weather, ghosts and witchcraft collide in new Weather Channel series.


The eight episodes in the series, which begins on Oct. 5, include:
•“The Legend of Moll Dyer,” about a Leonardtown, Maryland, recluse accused of witchcraft who froze to death and is said to still haunt the town.
“The Gray Man,” about a ghost who appears to residents of Pawleys Island, South Carolina, to warn them of coming hurricanes and protecting them from harm.
•"Julia Brown," about a Louisiana voodoo priestess who supposedly cursed the town of Frenier, which was destroyed by a hurricane after her death and has been repeatedly plagued by storms.
•"I-4 Dead Zone," about a section of Florida interstate where some attribute the high accident rate to the fact the road disturbed the graves of four settlers, and those settlers are getting payback via bad weather and deadly crashes.
•"The Curse of Bodie" arose when a California miner died in a blizzard, damning those who had stolen gold from him.
•"Devil's Gate Dam" is not only built at the base of a rock that looks like a devil's head, the Pasadena, California, site has been tied to black magic, mysterious disappearances and extreme weather, including droughts, floods and wildfires.
•"Augusta's Pillar" is the only remaining portion of a Georgia marketplace left standing when a cyclone blew through the town in 1878. It bears the curse of a scorned preacher who promised harm to those who touch or try to move it.
•"Catherine's Hill" in coastal Maine marks the spot where a woman was decapitated in a car crash on a foggy night, and is said to haunt it still, hitching rides.


It was fascinating. Liked it!
