Episode description

Hayley introduces us to a man who created a reality show for his own ghost. Charles Vance Millar’s will left a wake of chaos, paramount of which was prize money for a baby-making competition. If you’re confused, don't worry, we are too. Then, Kat begins the harrowing story of survival, perseverance, and ultimate taboo-breaking, that is the Donner Party.
