    MUMBAI: Take a mind blowing journey beyond your wildest imagination into the universe of the Bizarre! From spontaneous human combustion to anti-ageing machines,this extreme reality programme traverses every corner of the world in search of outrageous events, unexplained phenomena, macabre people and weird places Highlights include:

    Pentecostal Serpent Handlers - Journey to the hills of the rural south where believers take passages of the Bible literally enough to take up serpents...especially deadly rattlesnakes and cottonmouths. Here, they speak in tongues, lay hands on each other and become possessed with a uncontrollable zeal to cast out the devil‘s influence. Some take extreme measures and swallow 100% strychnine as a testimonial to their piety, without, it appears, any fatal results.

    Wolf Boys of Mexico - Suffering from an unusual hair growth disorder which covers them from head to toe with thick curly hair, two boys from a small Mexican town find a future in the Mexican National Circus. There, the wolf boys are not cast in a "freak show" but are employed as acrobatic stunt performers, by a caring manager who guards their welfare and provides for their education. Ufologyst Dr. Stranges - Dr. Frank E. Stranges has a unique pal, a Martian by the name of Valiant Thor. Dr. Stranges says the Martian visits him on a regular basis and has invited the doctor aboard his space vehicle. In addition, Dr. Stranges‘ claims Valiant Thor has been working at the Pentagon where Stranges professes to have visited him.

    Modern Day Mummification - At Lynn University in Florida the mortuary science department teaches more than funerary practice. Here they have reincarnated the ancient art of mummification. Graduates of their program have a bizarre advantage: the deceased will have an option to standard burial practices. The mummification option includes preservation, body wrap, mummiform, and a sarcophagus with inscriptions depicting the life of the departed.
