So last night I watched a two hour show on History called The Devil's Graveyards.
There's an area in Algeria where no animals live there, not even insects. A scientist studying why brings his dog and son to check it out and get soil samples, the dog starts acting really weird and barking and running in circles. He goes mad and attacks and kills the young boy then runs off. The dad scientist is crying recalling the account and I'm on the couch bawling. So it continues where this scientist is going to dedicate his life and studies to finding out why that happened to the dog and all other animals that enter this zone. He figures out that there is a rare aluminum isotope in the soil that causes the magnetism of the area to be off whack. It makes the compass go nuts. There are 12 of these zones across the Earth, like the Bermuda triangle and off the coast of Japan and the magnetic surges cause the things like airplane disappearances and earthquakes/ tsunamis.
So the scientist's team says that if they can send an electromagnetic pulse into the sand, it will neutralize the aluminum isotope and "cure" the magnetic issues. They have all this high power stuff trying to get enough electromagnetic power to release upon the area, and the machinery can't handle it, and it explodes and kills them all. It shows footage of the team and the explosion saying "actual footage from live web stream cams".
And that's the abrupt ending, goes right to credits with no mention of like "in memory of Dr. Joseph Spencer" or anything like that....which I find very odd. So I Google the doctor and the event and learn that the entire thing is fabricated/ dramatization of something that never happened. Ok, now before you call me gullible- the opening scene of the show said "this is a documentary which contains actual footage which may be disturbing to some viewers". How the fuck can they say that if the whole thing was fake?!??! They had me crying about a dead 8 year old that never existed- what the fuck?!?!?! Since when can the History Channel call something a "documentary with actual footage", when really it's Sci-Fi worthy and should be aired after Sharknado? I am so pissed about this!
