Readers of a certain vintage may remember "Strange but True", to which this is essentially a spiritual sequel. Over the course of ten hour long episodes, the comedian documents more unusual tales that have to be seen to be believed.
The show’s first season explored amazing stories of survival, underground cities, two-headed dogs, tape-worm weight loss plans and more, all linked by Aykroyd's darkly comedic narration. The second outing of the show looks to be more of the same, with episodes on the most bizarre things to have fallen from the sky, deliciously dark revenge plots, monster-like animals and some of the world’s most unusual places. Using archive footage and reenactment, these mind-blowing stories are brought to life.
Spooky season may be in the rear view mirror, but for those still keen to get their fix of the weird, wonderful and downright creepy, an hour with Aykroyd is the way to go. Read on to find out how to watch "The UnBelievable with Dan Aykroyd" season 2 online and from anywhere.
