It was the beginning of a new life for him – and for the royals. 

Unknown to them then, it was also the beginning of the end...

The man's name... Grigori Rasputin.

The world of horror is littered with unnerving locations, with the hotel perhaps the most unsettling of them all.

Hotels constitute a vast clash of psychical intersections, moving through time and all held together in one singular place.

Unexplained Rerun

In July 2009, at the height of war in Afghanistan, US and British forces struggle to get to grips with fighting a mostly invisible enemy, while simultaneously trying to win the hearts and minds of the people whose land they have invaded.  

As part of Operation Khanjar, the US government's latest roll of the dice in their efforts to beat back the influence of the Taliban in Helmand Province, 4000 marines from the 2nd Battalion, 8th Regiment have been deployed to the region.  Among them are eight Marines, tasked with occupying a strange and isolated observation post, known simply as The Rock. 

Their war is about to get far stranger than they could ever have imagined.

Second part of Season 07 Episode 12: The Jungle Never Sleeps

So much of this story is comparable to a walk into the jungle - perhaps the very same walk that Lisanne and Kris embarked upon on. 

All that can be done of course is to try and retrace the steps - their steps - and piece together what little clues there are.

RERUN EPISODE

(Huge apologies to all, due to illness I've not been able to produce a new epiosde this week, but here is one of my past favourites from Season 4 instead.)

In February 1978, five young men from the Yuba-Sutter area in Northern California took a short trip to watch their favourite basketball team. But the men never returned home. 

It's a tragic and beguiling mystery that to this day remians Unexplained.
