In season 8 episode 11 of Mysteries at the Museum, viewers are taken on a journey through three intriguing tales of history. The first segment tells the story of a dramatic defection, as a Soviet spy makes a daring escape to the United States with highly sensitive information. Museum host Don Wildman travels to Virginia to investigate the spy's life and role in Cold War espionage. From there, he sets off to explore the many obstacles the spy had to overcome in order to secure his freedom.

In the second segment, the focus shifts to a famous aviator and one of the deadliest flights in history. Wildman travels to the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum to investigate the true story behind the "Wrong Way Flight" of Douglas Corrigan. Corrigan's infamous journey from New York to Ireland made headlines around the world, but there was much more to the story than meets the eye. Wildman delves into the secrets that led to Corrigan's fateful decision, and uncovers surprising details about his life before and after the flight.

The final segment of the episode takes viewers back in time to the Wild West, where a brutal murder sparked a decades-long quest for justice and revenge. Wildman heads to Wyoming to explore the story of Big Nose George, a notorious outlaw who met a grisly end at the hands of lawmen. But the story doesn't end there - in fact, it was just the beginning. Wildman follows the twists and turns of the case, from the coroner who kept Big Nose George's skin as a trophy to the mysterious disappearance of the outlaw's brain.

Throughout the episode, viewers will be captivated by Wildman's deep dive into each historical mystery, as he uncovers surprising details and sheds new light on longstanding legends. From daring escapes to aviation disasters to wild west revenge, Mysteries at the Museum season 8 episode 11 has it all.
