Special compilation of episodes from "The UnXplained" explores the world's most fascinating, strange and inexplicable mysteries.
Twisting rivers, large lakes and massive oceans cover most of the planet; for centuries, people have wondered about activity deep beneath the surface; as technology advances, humanity pushes farther into deep ocean waters, mapping and uncovering new species and biomes; this interest in global waters raises new inquiries regarding cursed man-made lakes and isolated future discoveries beneath Antarctic ice.
Over the centuries, there are certain objects of power that rise above all the rest. Whether it's the mystery of their creation, or the effects they have on those in contact with them, their impact on the world is striking. For example, can the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls not only change what we know about world history and Biblical canon, but lead to the legendary lost treasure of King Solomon? And how did the ancient Greeks construct a device from 2,000 years ago?
Over the centuries, the night sky sparks wonder about existence and humanity's place in the universe. A quick flash and flaming tail mark a falling meteor. These conglomerations of cosmic matter originate from outer space. Interstellar travelers may contain healing properties or carry an ancient pathogen capable of ending human civilization.
Organized criminal enterprises influence society from the shadows, creating dangerous threats; a life of crime involves complex internal dynamics; the Cosa Nostra crime family continues operating in New York City today; double agents infiltrate governments to influence global affairs through covert actions.
What does it mean when a certain location or mysterious object is referred to as "cursed"? Is it simply a creation of the human imagination mixed with myth, legends, and stories used to explain the common fears inside of us? Perhaps certain areas really are haunted or contain some dark energy emanating from a violent event in the past. Can possessing a dazzling diamond cause those who hold it to suffer misfortune, tragedy and death?
Islands emerge from ocean waves across the planet; while differing in size, shape and distance from mainlands, certain islands contain forbidden curses, dangerous creatures and long-lost treasures; island locales reveal facts about former inhabitants and remaining artifacts; tragedy and misfortune follow occupants of a once opulent seaside villa; an island off the coast of Japan provides evidence of a lost civilization.
It's a terrifying thought that there are those among us who have the urge to stalk, manipulate, and eventually kill to satisfy some dark craving.
All over the world archaeologists, scientists and researchers are exploring ancient sites and collecting clues from civilizations that came before us; are we on the cusp of unearthing the evidence of societies like Atlantis and the Island of Mu?
Among the myriad emotions humans have experienced over centuries, perhaps the most easily identifiable is fear; it is because it is essential to our very survival.
Some see monsters as constructions of pure fantasy, made to entertain us or simply teach us moral lessons about the world around us. But some encounters may be more real—and terrifying—than local legends might suggest.
From strange afflictions to infections that ravage populations, it's frightening to think that one of us can contract dangerous and often deadly diseases.
Throughout history, many prophecies and figures like Liu Bowen and the Oracle of Delphi, who claim to see the future, influence powerful nations; predicting the future remains either an inherited trait or a learned skill; this ability exists as a rare gift for a select few or a capacity accessible to everyone who opens their mind.
Do certain weapons recorded in the pages of history, like the dagger of King Tut or the Swords of Damascus, actually contain incredible power?
From UFO sightings witnessed by thousands to missing civilizations with evidence left in their wake, North America is filled with unresolved questions and mysteries.
