Season 1

  • EPISODE 1
    Evil Places
    Deadly forests. Haunted houses. Mountains where visitors never return alive. Are there such things as "evil places"? Places where bad things seem to repeatedly -- and inexplicably -- happen? And if so, is it possible that these locations are imbued with dark energy that is currently beyond our understanding?

  • EPISODE 2
    Mysterious Structures
    For centuries, archaeologists have tried to unravel the mysteries of how - and why - certain incredible structures like the Great Pyramid at Giza, the staircase at Loretto Chapel, and Coral Castle were built. Will we ever find the answers? Or, might these structures have been intentionally constructed to perpetually mystify us?

  • EPISODE 3
    Strange Creatures
    Millions of people around the world claim to have had an encounter with a creature unlike any recognized by mainstream science - such as the Mothman, Chupacabra, and Mongolian Death Worm. Could these incredible creatures be real? And if so, what could possibly explain these freaks of nature?
    39m
  • EPISODE 4
    Unnatural Nature
    Many mysteries of planet Earth are far from understood. How was Devil's Tower formed? Or why do some people get struck by lightning multiple times? While some may write off these as random occurrences, might they instead point to a new understanding of not only our planet's past - but also its future?
    39m
  • EPISODE 5
    Bizarre Rituals
    Ancient practices such as prayer, blood sports, voodoo, and exorcism are often thought to be relics of bygone superstition - but there is evidence they have an impact on the physical world. Is it possible that the mind and body can use the power of ritual to tap into hidden forces that lie just beyond the grasp of conventional explanation?
    40m
  • EPISODE 6
    Life Beyond Death
    Perhaps the greatest unexplained mystery of all is: what happens to us after we die? Perhaps clues to the answer lie in unusual cases of near-death experience, reincarnation, and how memories can be passed from organ donors to transplant recipients. Are these phenomena figments of our collective imagination, or could they be real?
