Plot Synopsis

Host Don Wildman travels across America, revealing hidden mysteries about statues, memorials, national parks, gravestones and sculptures, which commemorate notorious crimes, scandals, disasters and intriguing events. In each one-hour episode, Wildman visits three different monuments, including these locations in Season 1: the Exeter, RI tombstone of a young woman, 19-year-old Mercy 'Lena' Brown, who may have haunted a small New England town -- and many believed to be a vampire; New York City's Brooklyn Bridge and General Grant National Memorial, for which George Parker acted as the owner, selling the iconic monuments to unsuspecting businessmen and immigrants; Alcactraz, where Theodore Cole and Ralph Roe were the first two prisoners to successfully make it to the shore of the San Francisco Bay after breaking out of The Rock in 1937; The Statue of the Republic, commemorating the 1893 Chicago World's Fair, which reminds some passers-by of a man going by the name of H.H. Holmes, who built a 'hotel' where he lured young women -- most of whom never came out; New York's Chrysler Building, which was once the site of a stunning display of an architectural chicanery; a huge clock on the island of Hawaii, where the hands are forever frozen in time following a tsunami that hit Hilo Bay on May 23, 1960; and many more landmarks with tales to tell.
