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

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
