Episodes
Jack the Ripper terrorized the city with his gruesome slaughters. Secret pagan societies raised Hell. Thieves made a killing stealing fresh corpses. London's streets ran red with blood, and it seeped into the underground. It was a city filled with disease, misery and chaos, making it ripe for grisly murders and horrific rumors to spread like the plague. Tales of witches and killers, the Antichrist and pagan rituals filled the city... but behind every ghost story is the terrifying truth of what happened here. From creepy caves scrawled with warnings of witches to the sewers and crypts where murderers and thieves lurked beneath the city streets, London's underground is hiding dark secrets and clues to the bloody truth.
The largest naval armada in U.S. history descended on the Japanese island of Okinawa in April of 1945. Instead of a swift victory for the American's it became the bloodiest battle of the Pacific. Much of the battle wasn't on land it was underneath it--from the beehive of combat tunnels to the caves where thousands of civilians hid. Join host Don Wildman as he discovers what it was like to live through the Battle of Okinawa. Watch as he delves into the subterranean tunnels, caves, and bunkers, and then dives to explore the lost naval destroyer sunken deep in the waters off Okinawa's coast.
The mafia instills fear around the world, but in Sicily, its presence can't be ignored. This is where the mob got its start, with the help of the underground. We'll trace the Mafia's roots back to a vigilante secret society that created an underground network where they would hold trials against corrupt city officials and execute the accused. We'll track the escape route of a most-wanted mob boss through ancient subterranean waterways, and discover a bone-crypt that holds the key to Sicily's violent past. We'll even find out how the mafia teamed up with the Allies during WWII, undermining the Axis' line of bunkers deep within the hillside and embedding themselves into Sicilian society for good.
Welcome to Las Vegas, America's Sin City, where billions of dollars are lost and made every year on our national vices. In order to protect their cash, casinos have made security the highest priority. From underground vaults to secret surveillance nerve centers, we'll uncover how the latest technology beats the cheaters. But Vegas wasn't always this high-tech. We'll show how a massive engineering feat transformed the city from a barren desert into a mobster metropolis where thieves ran the show from underground tunnels dating back to Prohibition. And just when it looked like all the thugs were behind bars and the city would fall off the map for good, Vegas became the come back kid. It's the only city in the world where you can be in Egypt one moment and Italy the next, thanks to a secret underground that allows the show to get bigger and better every time.
World War I was the bloodiest war the world had ever seen. A young Adolf Hitler served in the trenches and tunnels of Belgium's Western Front. Join host Don Wildman as he explores the subterranean web where 24,000 Allied soldiers waited to ambush the enemy, to the indestructible fortress that endured thousands of bombs daily. Discover the underground that made World War I one of the most brutal wars in history... and turned Hitler into the terrifying madman of World War II.
As we descend beneath our modern day cities, we are met with ancient and hidden secrets. Journey with us back through history and rediscover cities of the underworld.
