There are certain places in the world that have a powerful hold over our collective imagination. Places where mysteries and myths abound; where supernatural theories thrive; and where our search for answers and explanations never ceases. In this revealing new series, we explore the secrets behind three iconic phenomena: Stonehenge, the Loch Ness Monster & giant sinkholes.

In each case we delve into the history and the cultural impact before exploring the various theories and explanations that have arisen over time. Was Stonehenge a gargantuan memorial to the dead? Is Nessie a plesiosaur that has somehow survived from the age of the dinosaurs, and were meteorites responsible for the mysterious sinkholes of the Yucatan Peninsula?

Using the latest science and recent research, we discuss and then discard the more speculative theories before alighting on more plausible ones. Speaking to leading experts in every field we finally sort the fact from the fiction. Each episode concludes with a satisfying recent discovery or revelation that backs a winning explanation, whilst allowing for further secrets to be unlocked in the future.
