Summary

Whenever you tune into the news nowadays, it seems like there's yet another tragic disaster on the airwaves.

0:00.0	From UFOs to psychic powers and government conspiracies, history is riddled with unexplained events.
0:06.7	You can turn back now or learn the stuff they don't want you to know.
0:11.6	A production of I Heart Gradio's How Stuff Works.
