Mumbai: Video streaming platform discovery+ is set to premiere its new original "Dark Mysteries – Anjaan Kahaniyaan" on 11 February. The six-part series unravels unexplained mysteries based on first-hand accounts of those who claim to have experienced black magic, reincarnations, curses, hauntings, possessions and other supernatural phenomena.

"Each episode will focus on exploring the phenomena through first-hand experiences, locals’ views, and opinion from relevant experts including psychologists, parapsychologists, historians, psychics and paranormal analysts to explore if there is any plausible ‘truth’ to these often-unnerving stories," said the platform in a statement.

Some of the stories explored include paranormal experts hunting ghosts at the abandoned Lambi Dehar mines in Uttarakhand, live exorcisms of dangerous spirits at Harshu Dham in Chainpur (Bihar) often known as the temple of the possessed, mystery village of Kuldhara where 1500 residents are said to have left without a trace, and accounts of children who seem to have clear and sharp memories of previous lifetimes.

“Paranormal and supernatural as a genre have been often enjoyed by viewers across the country and our latest original production ‘Dark Mysteries’ supported with expert opinions will give them more insights to understand the context and working of these occurrences," said Discovery Inc original content head – South Asia Sai Abishek. "The show is an amalgamation of entertainment and science, thereby adding onto our repertoire of compelling and spellbinding stories for the audience.”
