Mysteries at the Museum

A failed invention that helped create a multi-billion dollar industry; the bell of a ship whose crew mysteriously vanished at sea; the footprint of a lizard-like creature.

A weapon that belonged to a secret network of spies operating on American soil; a bag that belonged to a pioneering journalist; a switchblade that belonged to a man some believe was Boston's most notorious killer.

Ostrich-feather fans used to seduce a city; an antique urn survives an unbelievable disaster; bullet shards from a mysterious murder.

A mangled car tells of an intrepid journalist's quest for the truth; a vial of liquid contains an alleged miracle cure; an iron safe played a key role in a bloody Wild West heist.

A plaster cast of hoof prints made by a mythic beast; a colossal war machine; a president train car that remains shrouded.

A strange wooden box used in a ritual; a weather beaten oxygen tank; torn hat of a local pastor found at the scene of a crime.

One of the world's most notorious killers; a century old 20 dollar bill; a connection to Jack the Ripper.

A mind-boggling subterranean disaster; a strange substance in a glass medical jar; an aviation anomaly.

Ventriloquist dummies who may be witnesses to a crime; rudimentary electronic device; plaster cast of a footprint.

A pair of timeworn dining implements; a charcoal portrait of a scantily clad man of a notorious news expose.
