The unexplained season 1

A dog that can detect cancer faster than doctors using sophisticated equipment. A horse that can read your mind. And birds that can sense disaster days before it happens. What gives animals these extraordinary powers’ We like to think of ourselves as the peak of evolution–but what if we’re wrong’

Dracula. Lycaon of Arcadia. The Beast of G vaudan. These are the names of grotesque monsters who have reared their terrifying heads throughout history. Unearthly creatures that, according to legend, thrived on human blood – and feasted on flesh. Vampires and Werewolves are human monsters, creatures of the night. But, could they actually be… real’

A miraculous meteorite falling from the heavens. A priceless gemstone with a deadly curse. And a chunk of sandstone considered so sacred that wars have been fought to protect it. Throughout history, many have insisted that simple stones can do everything from choosing a king to causing death. So, what is it about rocks and stones that inspires some people to worship them’

A house that narrowly dodges the path of a tornado. Rain that falls from the sky like blood. And lightning that follows you…into your home. Our world is full of strange and mysterious weather phenomenon that we still have no explanation for. Is it a result of just simple scientific anomalies, or could there be a stranger, more spiritual force at work’

Deadly dances. Masters of manipulation. Mass suicides. Murder. Many of the world’s deadliest cults ventured down dark, dangerous rabbit-holes of twisted ideologies, persuading their members to kill–sometimes other people, sometimes themselves. Is there any sense to these sinister groups’ Or will the unreckoned forces behind such Deadly Cults remain…UnXplained’

Abandoned cities. Ancient cultures nearly erased by time. And colossal empires that simply vanished without a trace. How does a civilization become “lost”‘ What could cause once-thriving groups of people to just abandon their great cities, never to return’ Can modern scientific knowledge help answer the unsolved questions surrounding these lost civilizations, or is there something more mysterious at work’

Modern prophets. Catastrophic premonitions. Dreams of future crimes. Can people really predict the future’ And if so, can we harness this knowledge to avoid the deadly events waiting in the days to come’ Or is the future an unknowable mystery unfolding all the time’

Could a cache of fantastic riches have been buried centuries ago on a tiny island in the North Atlantic’ And if such a treasure exists, who buried it’ For more than 200 years, treasure hunters have been coming to Oak Island in search of a treasure that has so far eluded them all, and has even cost six men their lives. Could it be that, as legend suggests, the treasure is protected by a deadly curse’

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?

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?

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?

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?
