SEASON 9 BEGINS FRIDAY OCTOBER 31ST

This week's rerun takes us to what to some were the unknown shores of a mysterious New World, but for others was simply home. 

It is the late 16th century - an age of exploration and discovery, when maps still bore the warning "here be dragons" and for ambitious Europeans the Atlantic Ocean stretched like an endless void between the known and the unknowable.

On a remote island off the coast of what would one day become North Carolina, brave souls sought to carve out a new life in a land that seemed to exist beyond the reach of civilisation. They carried with them hopes of prosperity and permanence, unaware that they were about to become part of one of history's most enduring enigmas…

SEASON 9 BEGINS FRIDAY OCTOBER 31ST

This week's rerun takes us to Egypt's Valley of the Kings in 1922, where years of painstaking excavation were about to yield one of archaeology's greatest discoveries. For centuries, the ancient burial grounds had surrendered their secrets reluctantly, but one tomb had remained hidden, lying in the darkness beneath the desert sands...

When that first crack of light pierced the burial chamber, it revealed wonders beyond imagination - golden treasures that had lain untouched for over three thousand years. But some believed that disturbing the eternal rest of the pharaohs came with a price, and that certain doors were never meant to be opened…

SEASON 9 BEGINS FRIDAY OCTOBER 31ST

This week's rerun takes us back to the forests of Arizona in November 1975, where a crew of loggers were finishing another hard day's work in the wilderness. It was meant to be routine - just another evening drive back to town through the darkening woods, a journey they'd made countless times before.

But when the crew returned that night, one of them was missing. Travis Walton had vanished without a trace, leaving those left behind to relay a story so bizarre that it would divide not just his community, but the entire country…

Travis, they said, had been abducted by an alien spaceship.

SEASON 9 BEGINS FRIDAY OCTOBER 31ST

What happens when ordinary people insist the familiar world around them has suddenly become something else entirely? When witnesses claim the present has slipped away, leaving them stranded in moments that shouldn't exist?

In the 1950s, two separate incidents in Britain left ordinary people with extraordinary stories to tell. A woman walking home alone on a winter's night would later claim she witnessed scenes that belonged to another age. 

While, three young cadets on a routine exercise would insist they stumbled into a world that seemed frozen between life and death...

SEASON 9 BEGINS FRIDAY OCTOBER 31ST

This week's rerun takes us to a windswept island off the coast of Nova Scotia in Canada, where in the summer of 1795, three young men made a discovery that would haunt generations to come. 

What began as idle curiosity about a depression in the earth would ignite an obsession that has endured for over two centuries.

Since that fateful day, Oak Island has drawn treasure hunters, engineers, and dreamers from around the world, each convinced they can succeed where countless others have failed. But the island seems to guard its secrets jealously, and those who seek to uncover them find themselves confronting something far more complex and mysterious than they ever imagined…

SEASON 9 BEGINS FRIDAY OCTOBER 31ST

This week's rerun is perhaps the most disturbing story I’ve covered on Unexplained.

Back in the 1970s, in the quiet North English town of Ossett, an ordinary family found themselves drawn into a world that was anything but.

What began as a struggle with doubt, faith, and the weight of daily life soon took on a darker shape, as strange behaviors and unsettling visions began to erode one man’s fragile sense of normality...

The small American town of Van Meter in Iowa is the kind of town that some might derisively describe as one that epitomises the fly-over states - a place of little importance or standing. 

They imagine nothing of interest ever happens. But not only would that do an immense disservice to its people - they would be very wrong.

In 1903 something paid a visit to Van Meter, and its brief presence would mark the town forever...

In the summer of 1963, three miners were trapped by a cave-in for days on end with no food or light. Some say it was a miracle that any of them survived at all. Others, that the true miracle was what they apparently experienced while they were down there...
