The UnBelievable with Dan Aykroyd

Did you know that a brown bear became a war hero for the Allies during WWII? Or that a flying lawnmower once killed a spectator at a football game? What about the story of the 19th century doctor who ate vomit to understand how yellow fever is transmitted?

If you haven't, then brace yourself for The UnBelievable with Dan Aykroyd.

Each hour-long episode will open up our cabinet of curiosities to reveal the strangest-but-true stories in human history, brought to life through dynamic recreation, compelling graphics, and arresting archival. These seemingly tall tales all actually happened, and our cast of experts dives into the historical record to tell you how and why.

It's a bizarro barrage of people, places and events that prove just how weird our world can be.
