What might put you off
  • Made in 1975: an older pace and style.
  • Not ideal if you just want to unwind.

Narrator Lawrence Dobkin examines unusual paranormal activities and conspiracy theories in several eerie segments. Subjects include flying saucers and alien encounters, the disappearance of Atlantis, the Bermuda Triangle and the origins of Bigfoot, telekinesis, witchcraft, and the unusual notion that human evolution and technology might have been moved forward with assistance from intelligent extraterrestrial beings.
