Dan Aykroyd, the man who brought us the Coneheads and the Blues Brothers, now takes us on a journey through history’s most bizarre and unbelievable true stories. “The UnBelievable,” airing this Friday on History, returns with “Unexpected Spectacles,” an episode that explores a cabinet of curiosities filled with oddball characters and strange events.
Ever dreamed of floating through the air like a human balloon? This episode examines the true tale of a man who did just that, attaching dozens of balloons to a lawn chair and taking off into the sky. Then there’s the story of a circus so small, its performers could only be seen with a magnifying glass. Talk about a close-up act!
And let’s not forget the cycling grandpa who, despite his age, gave those young whippersnappers a run for their money. “The UnBelievable” blends dynamic recreations, eye-catching graphics, and archival footage with expert analysis, diving into the historical record to explain the “how” and the “why” behind these unusual events.
Tune in to History on Friday, April 25th at 9:00 PM ET for a dose of “Unexpected Spectacles” – you might just learn something you never knew you never knew.
