For decades, this motel in Colorado had a secret network of surveillance rooms in the ceiling where the owner spied on his guests. Nobody knew until recently. The man was Gerald Foos, and he purchased a motel in the 1960s, outfitted it with a secret crawlspace in the ceiling where he could watch people inside of their rooms, and spent years spying on his guests - witnessing things like drug deals, lots and lots of sex, and potentially a murder. One day he decided to tell a journalist - Gay Tales...

Dating back hundreds of years, people have spread anti-semitic conspiracy theories about Jews conspiring to kidnap and murder Christian children to drink their blood.
