For those who appreciate a good mystery, Discovery’s “Expedition Files,” hosted by Josh Gates, delivers a fresh batch of historical enigmas this Wednesday. “Mysterious Phenomena” takes on some of history’s most baffling hoaxes and unexplained events, taking a deep dive into the stories that continue to confound and fascinate.
Among the cases examined are the Amityville Horror, that touchstone of suburban hauntings, and the still-unexplained demise of a military submarine crew. Gates also explores a particularly bizarre phenomenon: spontaneous human combustion, that unsettling idea that people can, quite literally, burst into flames without an external source of ignition. It’s just another day at the office for explorer Josh Gates.
As always, Gates’s “Expedition Files” is a quest for new evidence and a better understanding of the strange world around us. Expect a journey filled with stunning revelations and surprising insights into events that seem to defy explanation.
Tune in to Discovery this Wednesday, May 14 at 9:00 PM ET for “Mysterious Phenomena.”
