Synopsis for "Ghosts and the Supernatural"
Death comes in unexpected ways. Like the woman in Seattle who wakes up in the back seat to find death has taken the wheel of the car and drives into a tree, killing her husband. Or the woman in Sweden who follows a voice until she falls into an open grave. The tombstone bears her name but is no relation. Or the cult in Russia that danced to their deaths in icy waters following the sounds of a dirge.

Synopsis for "The Ghost's Last Ride!"
Former race car driver Terry Benson takes a job as a bank heist getaway driver to help him fund his racing career but he is betrayed by his partners and shot. Police are unable to identify Benson and finding that the car was stolen, return it to the owner. That night, traveling salesman Charles Langely rents the vehicle. Almost immediately, he senses a ghost within the car. The ghost takes control and speeds through the country, attracting police attention, until the car finally crashes into a barn. Inside the police find the bank robbers and their stolen loot. Langley is fined for reckless driving despite leading police to the crooks and his claim of a ghost taking control of the wheel is dismissed as impossible.
