Titled Dare to Dream, Mail Missile, Child Warrior, this episode presents three intriguing artifacts with rich backstories.

First on the list is the Boleskine House in Scotland, which was the site of some of the most bizarre events in the life of famed occultist Aleister Crowley. This iconic home, built in the 18th century on the shore of Loch Ness, became the spiritual headquarters for Crowley, known as "the wickedest man in the world," and his followers. Today the house is in ruins, but the history of the place and the story of its occupants are sure to captivate viewers.

Next, the episode focuses on a strange but fascinating object at the Wright Brothers National Museum in Dayton, Ohio. This is the Mail Missile, a small rocket-shaped device that was developed to provide fast and efficient air mail service in the 1930s. The Mail Missile was only used for a short time, but it was an important step in the evolution of air mail and one of the most unusual mail delivery systems ever devised.

Finally, viewers are taken on a journey to the African continent to learn about the Child Warrior, a young girl named Nongqawuse who had a vision in the mid-1800s that would become the Xhosa cattle-killing movement. This movement, which resulted in the death of over 400,000 cattle and thousands of Xhosa people, was based on the belief that the spirits of Xhosa ancestors would rise up and drive the British colonialists out of southern Africa. The Child Warrior's vision led to one of the most tragic and inexplicable events in the history of southern Africa.

Throughout this episode of Mysteries at the Museum, viewers will be treated to a fascinating glimpse into the strange and often unsettling events that have shaped our world. With intriguing artifacts and compelling stories that span from ancient history to modern times, Dare to Dream, Mail Missile, Child Warrior is sure to captivate audiences of all ages.
