The Supernatural

The prophecies of Michel de Nostradamus have provoked controversy for more than 400 years. This is the story of his extraordinary life and an exploration of the predictions which, incredibly, appear to have come true.

Featuring specially commissioned dramatized extracts from Bram Stoker’s “Dracula,” this episode of “The Supernatural” tells the story of the vampire in legend, fiction and real life. Including eyewitness accounts, extracts from the horror classic "Nosferatu,” and expert commentary from Dr. Les Prince of Birmingham University.

Feared, vilified, tortured and burnt, the witch played a central role in religious ceremonies all over the world — but sometimes the truth is stranger than the fiction. Using special reconstructions, re-enactments and feature film footage, this is the story of witchcraft throughout the ages.
