Season 6, Episode 2: CHAOS 4

Public radio villain and science show announcer Anders Lurkawhile is back, and the topic of this all-new CHAOS is “Ghosts: Reality or Utter, Utter Stupidity?” Lurkawhile reasons that while scientists have always spurned the supernatural, CHAOS is about all the ways in which one can die at the hands of science and, well, ghosts obviously have something to do about that. First, he interviews Dr. Seymour Fackenheim on the subject in hopes of discovering some subtle truths about what happens to us after we die, but those hopes are in vain. Then Lurkawhile joins a team of real-life “Ghostbursters,” who travel to one of the most haunted places in the world—the service tunnels under the Mall of America—to see if evidence of the ghosts of mall rats can be discovered. What they find there will not be pretty, as any Scotsman who looks under his kilt can tell you. Plus, it’s “Who Wants a Python?”
