The UnXplained

For centuries, legends and eyewitness accounts have told of a massive, hairy creature that roams the forest on two legs. While science has yet to prove the existence of this mythical man-beast, countless researchers and experiencers around the world are convinced that there is a giant, ape-like animal hiding in remote parts of the world. They point to the discovery of large, inexplicable footprints as evidence of the so-called "Bigfoot" that they hope to prove is real. But does Bigfoot actually exist?

The Founding Fathers established the pillars of freedom and democracy in the United States. But more than two centuries after their bold vision came to life, new information has emerged about the complexities, the agendas, and the secrets of these important historical figures.

Why is it that America's greatest monuments continue to enthrall us decades--and sometimes centuries--after their creation? And perhaps more importantly, what closely guarded secrets may their implacable facades be hiding?

From ancient civilizations to 20th century empires, mankind has had an inexplicable fascination with preserving the dead. But why? Could it be that death isn't really the end, but rather a transition to a new beginning?

All over the world are forbidden 'triangles'-mysterious regions where ships, planes, and people enter and then just disappear. They are found in Bermuda, Alaska, Japan and elsewhere. But why? Do these locations defy the laws of physics? Or is it possible that there are some places on Earth that we are simply not meant to go?

Some of history's greatest tales are stories of escape, the most incredible of which defy explanation.. How did Harry Houdini pull off his daring feats? Was the "Escape from Alcatraz" in fact , successful?

Will we ever understand the motivations that drive people to undertake the most bizarre, intricate, and dangerous crimes -- or will the mind of a master criminal remain - UnXplained?

Throughout history and across the globe, there have been many sacred relics believed to be imbued with mystical powers. Is it really possible that these ordinary items, like a tooth, or a soldier's spear, can have the ability to perform miracles?

Cracking codes has fascinated humanity for centuries. From enigmatic puzzles to secret symbols, deciphering history's unbreakable codes may hold answers to mysteries past and present.

From the ancient Babylonian's to modern day urban explorers, mankind has always been fascinated by abandoned places. What is the allure that draws us to these post-apocalyptic landscapes? Is it simply morbid curiosity? Or, something harder to define? Could abandoned places actually be places of 'magic'-as the ancients believed? Well, that is what we will try and find out.

There are some events that are so destructive, so astounding, or truly miraculous-that for the faithful-they must be directed by the hand of the Almighty. The Great Flood. The Plagues of Egypt. Sodom and Gomorrah. Moses Parting the Red Sea. Were these merely tall tales, or could they be historically accurate? And, if so, were they just freak occurrences-or were Acts of God? That is what will try and find out.

Space. The Final Frontier-and the ultimate mystery. Scientists are involved in a never-ending quest to understand the vast universe our planet inhabits. But it seems that for each answer science provides, even more questions arise. Our own solar system is populated by mysterious objects and phenomenon that seem to defy our attempts to understand them. And when we get deeper into space, the mysteries only deepen. What could lay beyond the confines of the Milky Way? Are there galaxies similar to our own? Could they be capable of sustaining intelligent life? And is that life trying to contact us?

Sunken ships filled with priceless cargo. Lost cities of gold. Ancient temples concealing untold riches. There's something about these hidden treasures that captures the human imagination. But are lost treasures merely the stuff of legend? Or could they actually be real?

Stories of great impostors are both daring and baffling. What compels a person to attempt to become someone else? Is it merely for material gain, or to pull off an ingenious scam?

When does the line between impersonation and transformation get blurred? Is it possible that by pretending to be someone else, a person can actually become that person, at least in their mind?

For centuries, humanity has been compelled to build remarkable structures that are much more than simple places of shelter or work. What makes us want to create magnificent buildings that are bigger and grander than ourselves--and last for centuries? Whether it's Stonehenge, the Notre Dame Cathedral, or the world's tallest skyscrapers--extraordinary works of engineering are evidence of a strong instinct within us that we don't fully understand. Are we trying to prove something? Or perhaps show our power over nature? Or could there be another reason that is, for now...UnXplained?
