   51. The Easter Island Case: Heads, Rats, and Ruin

   Did the people of Easter Island cut down every last tree to move their statues, and starve because of it? That's the story most of us grew up on. Russell, Jake, and Kade check it against the roads, the rock gardens, the rats, and what the Dutch actually saw in 1722. Sources: . Terry L. Hunt and Carl P.

   50. Operation Sea-Spray: San Francisco's Bacterial Fog

   It's September 1950, two miles off the Golden Gate. A Navy ship sits in the fog and the crew works hoses on deck and what comes out is not seawater. The cloud drifts inland, mixes with the real fog bank, and from the Embarcadero you cannot tell which gray is weather. That week was Operation Sea-Spray, an open-air bacterial test San Francisco was never warned about.

   49. The Beast of Bray Road: The Night Something Hit Her Car in the Fog

   Halloween night, 1991. Fog on Bray Road outside Elkhorn. A high-school student’s front tire lifts like she hit something soft then there’s nothing on the asphalt. No blood. No body. Then something runs out of the fog straight at her, chest pumping, and gets hold of the car before she can floor it. We walk the Bray Road nights: the roadside kneel, the kid who watched a “dog” stand up, and the county file that already said Werewolf before the papers gave it a name.
