In Search of... is a TV series that was broadcast weekly from 1977 to 1982, devoted to mysterious phenomena.

All three featured narration by Rod Serling, who was the initial choice to host the spin-off show. After Serling's death, Leonard Nimoy was selected to be the host.

Strange Visitors (aka Oracle Chamber)Apr 24, 1977 · 30mIn this episode we investigate New Hampshire's Mystery Hill and the "Oracle Chamber." Was this site, as some believe, built by ancient Phoenicians, who traveled to America in the dim past, thousands of years ago? Or is it an elaborate hoax? Scientists and Archaeologists discuss their views and their theories on what the ruins may mean and who might have built them. Some of the stones seem to indicate their use was to track the solstices, equinoxes, and other celestial events. Some experts even believe that aliens may have been responsible for the site while others attribute it to Native Americans.
Ancient Aviators (aka Ancient Flight)Apr 24, 1977 · 30mIn this episode we investigate the mysterious markings on the plains of Nazca in Peru. What are these mysterious markings, who made them, and why? Were they an ancient landing field for aliens? The signs and symbols of various birds and insects are only discernible from the air. How then could the ancient Nazca's have made them unless they had an aerial view in which to work them out? What are the mysterious arrow straight lines that seem to lead nowhere and why are they there? These and other strange markings in the area make us wonder who made them and why? Were they man made or did someone else put them there?
The Bermuda TriangleApr 27, 1977 · 30mThis episode investigates the mysterious Bermuda Triangle, that expanse of the Atlantic bounded by Miami, the Bahamas, and Puerto Rico.

A place where these disappearances date from the time of Christopher Columbus. Believers and skeptics, eyewitness and scientists all give there views and theories on what is going on in that strange part of the Atlantic Ocean.
BigfootApr 28, 1977 · 30mThis episode investigates the Native American Legend of Bigfoot or "Sasquatch" as the Native Americans call it. A large, hairy beast, resembling a man. Scientists and Cryptozoologists discuss the possibility that this creature may inhabit the thousands of square miles of uninhabited timberland in the American Northwest. The legend of Bigfoot dates back many centuries. Sightings have been reported continuously since before the white man came to this region of America, and they continue today. Archival footage of a suspected Bigfoot is shown and discussed with both witnesses and scientists evaluating the film.
Killer BeesMay 1, 1977 · 30mIn this episode, the advance of Killer Bees, originally imported to South America from Africa, and their march northward into Central America, Mexico, and their eventual expected entry into the United States is investigated. We look at what these bees have done and their impact on Brazil, and other areas into which they have moved. The deadly threat they pose to humans and animals when disturbed, their interbreeding with domestic bees, and their possible impact on the U.S. if their advance is not stopped before they reach America. This is one of the episodes that is a bit dated since killer bees have now invaded the United States and have been responsible for the deaths of several humans and animals.

Leonard NimoyNarratorOK....like Mysteries of the Bible, this ruled A&E when I was a little kid. And I was a little kid in the 80s and very early 90s...this came out in the middle 70s so fair warning...some of it is going to be solved and some of it is going to be insanely wrong. Some of the theories put forth are ridiculous by today's standards of science and understanding and unfortunately sometimes it even predicts. BUT....ignoring the dated, it's still an excellent show that served its purpose when I was 8...it scared the heck out of me. And I learned from it so double trouble. It could do creepy, it could do thrilling, and it could do wondrous. All around it's one great show, even today.
