Through expert curators and historians, we are taken deep into the stories behind the objects that have been collected throughout history, uncovering their strange and often gruesome pasts.

As the episode progresses, we are taken on a journey into the past with some of the most fascinating and horrifying objects from recent history. These include a preserved mutant fetus, believed to be the result of a Nazi science experiment during World War II, and a cursed wedding dress that is said to bring misfortune to those who wear it.
