About This Program

The programme is an episodic adventure that transports viewers to three strikingly different locales, each shrouded in mystery and intrigue. It weaves together the allure of a deserted desert settlement, the remnants of a forgotten South‑American empire, and the unsettling sounds that linger over an urban landscape, inviting the audience to explore each uncanny setting. In the first segment, the focus shifts to a desert ghost town reputed to hold immeasurable wealth while harbouring horrors that defy description. The narrative paints a picture of abandoned streets and silent buildings, hinting at treasures buried beneath the sand and a darkness that still pervades the empty streets. The second portion turns its attention to a lost empire deep within South America. Here, the story uncovers the traces of a civilisation that vanished without record, leaving behind ruins that whisper of a grand past now erased from history. The episode suggests that the empire’s secrets remain hidden among the overgrown jungles and crumbling stone. The final chapter follows the eerie, unexplained noises that seem to haunt a modern city. These mysterious sounds echo through alleys and rooftops, creating an atmosphere of perpetual unease. By juxtaposing the urban environment with these inexplicable auditory phenomena, the programme leaves viewers pondering what unseen forces might be at work.
