Veteran actor and legendary horror movie icon Robert Englund (Freddy Krueger of the "A Nightmare on Elm Street" franchise) resurrects the frightening, odd and creepiest stories ripped straight from the headlines of yesteryear in Travel Channel's new series "Shadows of History" (wt). Newspapers from America's past document bizarre, mysterious accounts that seem too incredible to be true. With the help of historians and scholars, Englund makes every one-hour episode an immersive experience designed to raise goose bumps and quicken pulses. And every thrill ride is all the more terrifying because it isn't the work of a science fiction writer, but originally a news article reported in the American press. The six-episode series will air later this year.
