1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:09,000
Their words hurled in the face of reason, yet they have the power to destroy.

2
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:12,840
Her husband was committed to an insane asylum.

3
00:00:12,840 --> 00:00:16,800
Her nine-year-old son was run over by a car.

4
00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:23,680
They can reach beyond time, beyond space, tracking their victim through eternity.

5
00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:30,680
A curse is something that, of course, you cannot prove scientifically, but it destroys you.

6
00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:34,680
They don't require belief. They don't require acceptance.

7
00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:39,680
They only demand we obey their evil commands. They are curses.

8
00:00:53,680 --> 00:01:02,680
A land that knows no limits of time or space.

9
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:11,680
From the dawn of discovery to the nightfall of catastrophe,

10
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:18,680
journey through a universe of the unexplained, the unforeseen, the unbelievable.

11
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:24,680
A place beyond reality where no question will go unanswered.

12
00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:29,680
A place where myth and legend are all superstition of science.

13
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:54,680
It's time for our journey to begin.

14
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:04,680
Your icy grip reaches beyond death, beyond life.

15
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:08,680
A curse, an evil prayer.

16
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:19,680
Knowledge surrounds these library walls, and with these instruments, that knowledge can be ours.

17
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:36,680
We've all made declarations of anger, maybe even considered terrible revenge for real or imagined wrongs.

18
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:40,680
Some of us have even invoked curses.

19
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:46,680
But most of us slowly return to our senses, our anger fading with time.

20
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:51,680
But what of curses that seem to live on forever?

21
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:57,680
These words conjure up forces that hover over the real world, like evil spirits.

22
00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:01,680
Spirits that we ignore at our own peril.

23
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:11,680
This is a way, a land of beauty, a land where time rests and then moves on.

24
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:16,680
But under the surface of this beauty, there is something troubling, a force beyond comprehension.

25
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:21,680
A curse that haunts those who remove stones from this sacred volcano.

26
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:28,680
Each year, thousands of people send back rocks and letters to the National Park,

27
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:31,680
wanting us to dispose of them.

28
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:36,680
There are many, many people in Hawaii who still believe in the Goddess Pelle.

29
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:40,680
So my very good friends still believe in the Goddess Pelle.

30
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:42,680
And I'm not going to say I don't.

31
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:44,680
Who is the Goddess Pelle?

32
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:48,680
Quite simply, she is set to possess this volcano called Manaloa,

33
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:54,680
and becomes angry if people desecrate her possession, anger that is set to reach around the world.

34
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:03,680
This is Cho Park Lai, one of Hong Kong's foremost Feng Shuo experts,

35
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:08,680
and his day-to-day job involves battling with demons and spirits.

36
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:12,680
Loosely translated, Feng Shuo means wind and water,

37
00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:17,680
and very few buildings are constructed without obtaining expert advice.

38
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:23,680
The Chinese believe that the design of a building can determine the fortunes of those who reside within.

39
00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:27,680
A structure out of harmony with the spirits risks a terrible fate,

40
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:30,680
a curse that will affect all who work inside,

41
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:33,680
and few architects risk building without their advice,

42
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:38,680
and Feng Shuo rituals like these are as much a part of construction as laying a foundation.

43
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:45,680
Is this superstition or prudence?

44
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:51,680
Around the world in Washington, D.C. in the United States,

45
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:55,680
one of the world's most dangerous and beautiful objects can be found.

46
00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:59,680
Every year, hundreds of thousands of people come to this gallery.

47
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:01,680
They stand in awe in front of this display case,

48
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:08,680
for inside, there sits a tiny object that has earned a frightening reputation, the Hope Diamond.

49
00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:14,680
There certainly appears to be a lot of stories about a curse that go with the Hope Diamond,

50
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:18,680
and so many people have been affected by it adversely.

51
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:22,680
Many authors have tried to disprove the curse.

52
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:25,680
I myself am not sure if there's a curse,

53
00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:30,680
but everybody that had it has had tremendous problems.

54
00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:35,680
It is said that this glittering gem has driven men and women insane,

55
00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:39,680
and on occasion robbed them of their lives.

56
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:45,680
It just seems to be something about this stone that brings misfortune to its owners,

57
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:48,680
as a glance at its history will attest.

58
00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:57,680
Originally known as the French Blue Diamond,

59
00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:03,680
it once weighed over 112 carats and was found in India, when no one can say.

60
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:08,680
Purchased by the French King Louis XIV and 1668,

61
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:14,680
it was recut to a new shape and configuration of about 67 carats,

62
00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:19,680
and was promptly stolen after Louis XVI lost his head in the French Revolution.

63
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:24,680
It next appeared in London and was purchased by Henry Hope in 1830.

64
00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:31,680
It stayed with his family until their fortune was wiped out and was quickly sold three more times,

65
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:37,680
until it came to America in 1911, when it was purchased by a wealthy eccentric Evelyn McClain.

66
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:42,680
It stayed in her hands until she was committed to a mental institution.

67
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:49,680
Is there any truth to these theories that the diamond is cursed?

68
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:54,680
Does the glitter and sparkle of the Hope Diamond obscure some dark and mysterious force?

69
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:05,680
There is no real reasonable explanation for this trail of death and destruction

70
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:09,680
that has accompanied the Hope Diamond in its history.

71
00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:16,680
No other diamond seemingly has had any effect on history, such as this stone.

72
00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:21,680
The Hope Diamond curse is surely just a fantasy.

73
00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:26,680
We don't know exactly when it started, how it came about, but it's been embellished over the years.

74
00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:30,680
Well, if you talk to me, I think you will come up with curses foiled again,

75
00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:34,680
because I don't really believe in the curses associated with the Hope Diamond.

76
00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:38,680
I will say that whoever owned the diamond had an awful lot of difficulty,

77
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:45,680
whether it was Louis XVI, who was of course beheaded, who was wife Marie Antoinette, who was of course beheaded.

78
00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:51,680
Many people still say that the stone is still cursed, that they've written to the Smithsonian

79
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:58,680
to please bring the diamond back to Mr. Winston, because since we donated it in 1958,

80
00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:00,680
things in America have gone downhill.

81
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:05,680
Well, we always thank them for their concern when they write,

82
00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:08,680
and we tell them that we don't take the curse seriously.

83
00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:17,680
In and of itself, a 44 and a half carat blue diamond is so extremely rare as to make it an important stone.

84
00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:24,680
But the fact that the curse, or supposed curse, is on the stone does enhance it tremendously.

85
00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:28,680
It doubles its importance to the world.

86
00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:35,680
The curse of the Hope Diamond, if it exists, has been lethal for 400 years.

87
00:08:35,680 --> 00:08:42,680
But in the valley of the kings in Egypt, there may be a curse that has survived 5,000 years.

88
00:08:42,680 --> 00:08:49,680
It began when a boy in his late teens suddenly died from mysterious causes.

89
00:08:49,680 --> 00:08:52,680
His boy was no ordinary person, he was a king.

90
00:08:52,680 --> 00:08:57,680
His name was Tutankhamen.

91
00:08:57,680 --> 00:09:02,680
May the cobra on my head spit flames of fire into thy face,

92
00:09:02,680 --> 00:09:06,680
and may thy head be in the place of my feet.

93
00:09:06,680 --> 00:09:15,680
That curse was found over the mummy Kappa Arman, a high priest whose tomb was discovered 50 years before Tutankhamen.

94
00:09:15,680 --> 00:09:20,680
It describes the fate of anyone rash enough to have disturbed his final resting place.

95
00:09:20,680 --> 00:09:24,680
Alas, history has not recorded its accuracy.

96
00:09:24,680 --> 00:09:30,680
But history has illuminated the fate of the men and women who penetrated the gloom of antiquity,

97
00:09:30,680 --> 00:09:34,680
and brought King Tut out of the darkness.

98
00:09:34,680 --> 00:09:41,680
On November 26, 1922, history was rediscovered and made.

99
00:09:41,680 --> 00:09:44,680
On that day, Howard Carter, an American archaeologist,

100
00:09:44,680 --> 00:09:48,680
gazed for the first time upon the magnificent tomb of King Tutankhamen,

101
00:09:48,680 --> 00:09:53,680
an unparalleled discovery that has left its mark upon the world's imagination.

102
00:09:53,680 --> 00:09:59,680
On that day, Carter's wavering flashlight illuminated the chamber stuffed with treasures

103
00:09:59,680 --> 00:10:03,680
that would forever redefine the word priceless.

104
00:10:03,680 --> 00:10:06,680
Treasures truly fit for a king.

105
00:10:06,680 --> 00:10:11,680
The search for this tomb had gone on for years and cost many thousands of pounds,

106
00:10:11,680 --> 00:10:15,680
and Lord Kanaavan almost withdrew his financial backing.

107
00:10:15,680 --> 00:10:19,680
Carter convinced him to mount one last effort.

108
00:10:19,680 --> 00:10:24,680
Both men were awarded by world fame and a haunting legacy.

109
00:10:24,680 --> 00:10:27,680
Though the tomb was first opened in November,

110
00:10:27,680 --> 00:10:33,680
it took three months of painstaking evacuation before Carter was prepared to enter the innermost sanctum.

111
00:10:33,680 --> 00:10:38,680
On February the 17th, 1923, Carter was ready.

112
00:10:38,680 --> 00:10:42,680
Very carefully, he broke the sacred seal,

113
00:10:42,680 --> 00:10:47,680
with Lord Kanaavan by his side, gazed upon the golden riches of the boy king.

114
00:10:47,680 --> 00:10:52,680
And almost immediately thereafter, whispers of a curse began,

115
00:10:52,680 --> 00:10:56,680
as death seemed to stalk the men and women who were present on that day.

116
00:10:56,680 --> 00:11:00,680
This story came after King Tutankhamen's discovery.

117
00:11:00,680 --> 00:11:06,680
When the man called Lord Kanaavan, he was a very rich Englishman,

118
00:11:06,680 --> 00:11:15,680
and after he visited the tomb, after three years, he was suddenly dead through an unknown disease.

119
00:11:15,680 --> 00:11:21,680
In just six years, disease and accidents claimed twelve men and women,

120
00:11:21,680 --> 00:11:26,680
and the curse of King Tut entered modern legend.

121
00:11:26,680 --> 00:11:30,680
Twelve deaths in six years.

122
00:11:30,680 --> 00:11:35,680
It's not surprising that almost immediately whispers of a terrible curse began,

123
00:11:35,680 --> 00:11:39,680
but whispers that have become popular belief.

124
00:11:39,680 --> 00:11:47,680
What are the chances that these strange deaths occur naturally to this unfortunate group of men and women?

125
00:11:51,680 --> 00:11:56,680
When a legend is at stake, it is always difficult to separate fact from fiction,

126
00:11:56,680 --> 00:12:00,680
for belief has a way of defying evidences.

127
00:12:00,680 --> 00:12:05,680
For example, skeptics have pointed out that while many people visited the newly opened tomb,

128
00:12:05,680 --> 00:12:09,680
most did not die mysteriously.

129
00:12:09,680 --> 00:12:15,680
If we look closely at contemporary mortality rates and check the reported cause of death of the more famous victims of the curse,

130
00:12:15,680 --> 00:12:18,680
the odds do seem to defy the skeptics.

131
00:12:18,680 --> 00:12:22,680
Still, the data remains inconclusive.

132
00:12:24,680 --> 00:12:28,680
Is this proof of a curse or a coincidence?

133
00:12:28,680 --> 00:12:30,680
No, it's not.

134
00:12:30,680 --> 00:12:37,680
For the curse of King Tut and Kamen may be attributable to something equally mysterious and lethal.

135
00:12:37,680 --> 00:12:43,680
Killer inside the tomb may have been waiting silently for thousands of years,

136
00:12:43,680 --> 00:12:46,680
striking without warning, without mercy,

137
00:12:46,680 --> 00:12:50,680
but this mysterious killer may finally have an identity.

138
00:12:50,680 --> 00:12:55,680
For me as a lesbianologist, I excavated for the last twenty years everywhere.

139
00:12:55,680 --> 00:12:59,680
If you close this room for five thousand years, what's going to happen?

140
00:12:59,680 --> 00:13:02,680
This room will contain germs that no one can see.

141
00:13:02,680 --> 00:13:09,680
Ancient times, people opened tombs quickly, they get in, then they were hit by germs, always, and they die.

142
00:13:09,680 --> 00:13:14,680
But when I excavate now and I find a tomb which I found ten years ago a tomb,

143
00:13:14,680 --> 00:13:19,680
I always open it for the fresh air to get in, bad air to go out.

144
00:13:19,680 --> 00:13:22,680
Always advise my assistant to not shave,

145
00:13:22,680 --> 00:13:27,680
because if you shave early in the morning, this would be open for germs to hit you quickly.

146
00:13:27,680 --> 00:13:29,680
But if you have a beard, nothing can happen.

147
00:13:29,680 --> 00:13:34,680
I can speak for half an hour about the curse of the phaels.

148
00:13:34,680 --> 00:13:41,680
The phaels sometimes have written curse to the one who will open my tomb.

149
00:13:41,680 --> 00:13:45,680
At Tutankhamun special, from whom came the curse of the phaels, said,

150
00:13:45,680 --> 00:13:51,680
Bless those who will make my name known forever.

151
00:13:51,680 --> 00:13:58,680
And those who have excavated tomb have made his name more living for them.

152
00:13:58,680 --> 00:14:05,680
The incredible media furor that accompanied this discovery obscured and then distorted him the real story.

153
00:14:05,680 --> 00:14:11,680
For example, it is widely believed that the curse was inscribed over the doorway to the tomb.

154
00:14:11,680 --> 00:14:13,680
And true.

155
00:14:13,680 --> 00:14:20,680
Howard Carter, the man most responsible for uncovering the treasures, lived to 1939 when he died of natural causes.

156
00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:26,680
If there was a curse, surely he would have been the first to suffer its deadly consequences.

157
00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:31,680
The mystery about the curse of the phaels, it's fascinating, made people look to believe in that.

158
00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:34,680
If anything happened to someone, it's the curse of the phaels.

159
00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:37,680
My opinion, there is no curse at all.

160
00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:42,680
The curse comes from us, not from the ancient religions.

161
00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:47,680
Still, a legend of King Tut lives on.

162
00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:53,680
As long as there are people who believe in a curse, it'll seem to have a life of its own.

163
00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:59,680
In Haiti, a small country in the Caribbean, belief in curses is a way of life.

164
00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:03,680
In fact, there are an integral part of the local religion.

165
00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:09,680
The mysterious and powerful religion known to the world as voodoo.

166
00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:18,680
The word voodoo has come to symbolize the mysterious, the dangerous and the forbidden.

167
00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:23,680
These strange charms are said to have powers of life and death.

168
00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:29,680
But recently, science has found an explanation for one of voodoo's most potent myths.

169
00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:33,680
That myth has a name, zombie.

170
00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:43,680
Haiti is a land torn apart by contrasts, between rich and poor, between myth and reality.

171
00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:52,680
And just underneath the outsider's perspective, a strange religion percolates to its own ancient rhythm, a religion called voodoo.

172
00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:59,680
Haiti was settled by slaves, the land made fertile by the blood and sweat of their labor.

173
00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:05,680
And voodoo comes from somewhere deep in their past, some uncharted land, a mysterious belief system

174
00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:11,680
that has led to some misconceptions from those not privy to its dark secrets.

175
00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:21,680
There is nothing as one has to be afraid regarding voodoo because you're not going to be harmed or killed.

176
00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:24,680
You have the religion to help you to solve your problems.

177
00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:28,680
So voodoo helps a great deal of people solve their problems.

178
00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:32,680
Curses are an undeniable part of voodoo.

179
00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:38,680
And one of the most feared curses is the command that can turn a man or woman into a zombie.

180
00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:40,680
A curse is real.

181
00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:47,680
And there are people who are good at it or could put a curse on someone.

182
00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:55,680
For instance, people who do have big plantations and would like to have zombies to work in those plantations.

183
00:16:55,680 --> 00:17:00,680
They have things to do to make people to become zombies.

184
00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:08,680
So those people will work for nothing and they will not speak, they will not move like any human being.

185
00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:12,680
So curse, you actually, is the curse real? Yes, it is extremely real.

186
00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:19,680
Recently, an American scientist named Wade Davis exploded some of the myths surrounding zombies

187
00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:25,680
and discovered that their genesis was not spiritual, but chemical.

188
00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:29,680
A specially mixed potion that can induce a catatonic state.

189
00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:35,680
To make a long story short, what we showed is that the drug that they're using in Haiti

190
00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:45,680
was not only theoretically capable of, but we knew for a fact had caused people to appear to be dead, even those people were not dead.

191
00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:50,680
What the zombie drug could do is make someone susceptible to a whole series of psychological pressures.

192
00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:52,680
They could make someone appear to be dead.

193
00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:56,680
But what creates a zombie was a whole world view and a set of beliefs.

194
00:17:56,680 --> 00:18:02,680
Those beliefs have reverberated throughout Haiti, with echoes being heard around the world.

195
00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:09,680
Voodoo has come to symbolize a shadow land where anything is possible and everything permitted.

196
00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:21,680
But to those who have studied Voodoo closely, this sadly misunderstood, with curses, a very small part of its existence.

197
00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:28,680
Truth is that Voodoo is a wonderfully benign, legitimate religion and it's a quintessentially democratic religion

198
00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:33,680
because a person not only has direct access to his spirit realm, he actually receives gods into his body.

199
00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:39,680
The Voodoo say the white man goes to church and speaks about God, we dance in the temple and become God.

200
00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:46,680
And those gods seem to be able to reach out to charm and occasionally enslave the living.

201
00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:54,680
Curses do exist. How their work has led to debate.

202
00:18:54,680 --> 00:19:03,680
Is it possible for belief alone to kill, for acceptance to lead to resignation and then death?

203
00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:07,680
Are curses only in our minds?

204
00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:19,680
If curses do exist, they exist in a shadow land caught between conjecture and belief, between myth and imagination.

205
00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:25,680
There seems to be something in the human unconscious willingly responds to these dark powers of suggestion,

206
00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:31,680
meaning that curses may be a result of mind over matter, of unreason over reason.

207
00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:36,680
We're all creatures of habit and perhaps those habits remain locked away in our minds,

208
00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:41,680
a mystic doorway that is the key to understanding what curses are and can be.

209
00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:58,680
Science has proved that the mind is capable of almost anything. Curses can inhabit the mind and perhaps control and destroy it if we allow them to.

210
00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:09,680
We know that curses are created by man and rationalized by man, but it seems they may not have to be obeyed by man,

211
00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:13,680
and in that lies hope.

212
00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:19,680
A curse may be a warning, not a verdict.

213
00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:23,680
That power may lie inside us all.

214
00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:41,680
Secrets and mysteries presents information based in part on theories and opinions, some of which are controversial.

215
00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:49,680
The producer's purpose is not to validate any side of an issue, but through the use of actualities and chromatic recreation relate a possible answer,

216
00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:53,680
but not the only answer to this material.

217
00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:47,680
According to a recent poll taken in the United States, half of its population believe that the universe is inhabited by other intelligent life.

218
00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:51,680
Rest of the world cannot be far behind.

219
00:21:51,680 --> 00:22:03,680
The 1950s witnessed a sharp increase in the number of sightings all around the world, and with it more and more evidence that something unusual was happening in our skies.

220
00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:10,680
Even the United States government took notice, beginning an official Air Force investigation called Project Blue Book.

221
00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:20,680
Their files soon overflowed with more than 12,000 sightings.

222
00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:27,680
These water beasts may well be the most ancient surviving inhabitants of our planet.

223
00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:48,680
Did I see the monster? I don't know, but I do believe that, you know, I saw, I obviously saw some things, and nobody's been able to tell me what I saw, so I think I must have seen the monster.

224
00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:59,680
Stonehenge, that place has become a metaphor for the magnificent, the unfathomable, and the mysterious.

225
00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:13,680
I have the feeling that the people who built it had something very strong in mind, maybe more than the astronomy and the worship, and I wish to goodness on you what it was, and maybe I never will.

226
00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:24,680
German scientist Fennel van Braum is considered to be the architect of America's space program.

227
00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:36,680
Van Braum and his team took the technology from the German V2 rocket, which had been created for destruction, and applied it to the development of the chariots that would take man to new worlds.

228
00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:52,680
There's never been an astronaut who got on a spacecraft, whether it was Mercury, Apollo, or even Shuttle, who didn't fully understand the risk involved and who wasn't willing to take him.

229
00:23:52,680 --> 00:24:03,680
The only voyage of the Titanic was surrounded by bad luck that defies belief. Everything that could go wrong did go wrong. It was as if she was cursed.

230
00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:07,680
A cursed sunsay began when she was lost.

231
00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:12,680
When Captain B came back, he said, there's nothing much. They only struck a nice bird.

232
00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:29,680
This magnificent object is a symbol of genius, of ambition, and of dedication, for it is believed to have taken 30 years to construct, and that construction is not the least of its miracles.

233
00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:45,680
It stands as one of the most prominent monuments for its size and complexity, and also its lack of information about it, to be able to plan and economically accomplish such a large feat for the pharaoh is extraordinary.

234
00:24:46,680 --> 00:25:03,680
This is the mark of Sasquatch, taken from a set of tracks that covered a five mile stretch of dense forest. The depth of each print indicates that whatever made it weighed 800 pounds.

235
00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:25,680
And there's other, more dramatic evidence. On a hot afternoon in October, Roger Patterson and a friend were riding through some woods in Northern California. Suddenly their horses shied. They looked ahead and saw something squatting by the creek.

236
00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:34,680
As the creek ambled away, Patterson took this film, the film that has been analyzed, debated, and contested ever since.
