The show itself is very enjoyable, while its hard for shows to find new cases and some material was already covered in other programs, the science channel makes it their own with good CGI and experts. Unfortunately, Google would prefer we pirate this show! Now on Season 02 the first episode isn't available?! A month after being available for purchase separately, the ability to buy the entire season is finally here, but nope you still don't get episode 1!?! Thank God for Torrents, buy elsewhere!!

Not as good as others but descent. Often fails to explain WHY the possible conventional explanations could be valid under the circumstances. Just suggests they could be and moves on. Also includes testimonies of witnesses who had been ADMITTEDLY drinking.

Good Show worth watching. The craziest thing about this series is that these stories are real reports. Makes you think there's more to this universe then what we think.
