HISTORY VAULT

A robber successfully snatching Einstein's brain; a thief who makes out with hundreds of dollars all while dressed as Santa Claus; these are some of history's most curious crimes.

The UnBelievable With Dan Aykroyd

Curious Crimes

A trip to the doctor is sure to cure any afflicted individual, but what happens when even the doctors are stunned by what they see?; from a family cursed with blue skin, to a girl allergic to the world's most unlimited resource and more.

Strange Afflictions

From calling Veteran's Stadium home, to setting up camp in an airport terminal, to turning an unassuming dumpster into a luxurious abode, each of these dwellings are so beyond odd, that they are truly unbelievable.

Odd Dwellings

We've heard the tales of successful prison breaks, but these aren't your average escapes; from a man who frees himself all thanks to a stone fruit, to a Soviet pilot that evades capture by stealing the enemy's plane.

Astonishing Escapes

From riding massive tree trunks down a treacherous slope, to hosting a barrage of monkeys for an all-you-can-eat buffet, to a food fight of epic proportions; these are the stories of history's most bizarre and extraordinary traditions.

Extraordinary Traditions

Imagine a man floating through the sky by dozens of balloons or a circus only visible via magnifying glass; these are the tales of history's most unbelievable, strange and completely unexpected spectacles.

Unexpected Spectacles

History is riddled with discoveries, from gold, to lost treasures, to scientific findings; some discoveries are anything but ordinary; like severed feet on a beach, or finding evidence of a tiny otherworldly creature; each is weirder than the last.

Weird Discoveries

One-of-a-kind crimes are often met with one-of-a-kind punishments; like a pig whose bloody rampage lands itself in the courtroom, or a music enthusiast whose wall-rattling beats subject them to hours of classical symphonies.

Peculiar Punishments

From a dog's space voyage, to a harrowing story of Arctic survival, to various trips through time; journeys so extraordinary that they are truly unbelievable.

Extraordinary Journeys

It is hard to believe that the beginnings of modern endoscopy are really all thanks to one professional sword-swallower; or that lack of sleep has some strange upsides; these are some unthinkable experiments.

Outrageous Experiments

Some of the world's most valiant figures overcome the most bizarre circumstances; like a man who survives the apocalypse, or a woman involved in not one, but three maritime disasters; these are the stories of survival against all odds.

Against All Odds

This episode explores the strangest and most ghastly gigs ever.
