They do try to do their best at figuring out how the things happened, but a lot of the time their conclusions are outlandish or they don't give one at all. In particular, the one with the pack of dogs pulling apart the car - their conclusion was that the dogs were holding a grudge. Really!? My own dog pulled the grill off my own car in my own driveway. Grudge? I don't think so. Squirrel that he chased under the car? Definitely. They never showed the first part of the video. Most likely a varmot or cat ran under the car and up into the engine while trying to get away from the dogs.

I enjoy watching some of the strange videos presented on this show. Whenever I watch though, I often wonder about the 'scientists' who are interviewed to attempt discovery of what the videos might be of. Surely they must belong to professional bodies who monitor standards, qualifications and so forth. Obviously they are padding the show out, but how they have not been censured for bringing their professions into disrepute I do not know. For people who purport to either be scientists or science writers they say some very stupid things. I wish they would stop behaving like frightened teenagers and more like rational adults. The show would be a lot better without the silly stuff.

This could actually be a good show - if they would lay off speculation of the ridiculous. This is Science Channel, not Travel (which specializes in hauntings). They have some capable and frequently prestigious experts. But instead of getting right to valid, sensible explanations we have to go down the rabbit hole into absurdity. I guess they have to please the tinfoil hat club as well.

Better late than never! I've just recently started recording this on uk tv. I enjoy a good mystery, but I also love to hear the scientific explanations of supposedly strange phenomena. I especially enjoy the lab experiments. I don't know if I'll be able to stand watching the whole series though, as the constant special effects every few seconds really spoil it. We get it! It's a series about strange phenomena being caught on cctv or camera! The repeated showing of said strange phenomena also really puts me off! I've just watched an episode of a pint glass of beer exploding, in a pub. They must have showed that footage 20 times!! I found myself fast forwarding through bits, just so I wouldn't have to watch that same scene over and over and over again!

This program is insulting to the field of SCIENCE. And by being that it is insulting to the people, viewers, that made the Science Channel a quality network.

It appears that the producer/s of this show are trying to draw a certain type of viewer, while hoping that their existing viewers will remain. Well, this program is not succeeding at keeping existing viewers like me. If this channel, network, keeps inviting fans of baseless, fact-less, and ridiculous "conspiracy theories", then they are going to lose their fan base and current viewers. But then, maybe the Science Channel has calculated that there are more "conspiracy theory" gullibles and that the SC would rather have those types of fans.

The "experts" on this show should consider how this show is ruining their reputations. The producers of this show get these "experts" to make the most ridiculous, nonsensical, and downright STUPID comments about, "What could this be? It looks like it might be aliens or monsters!?"

WTF are you doing Science Channel? You've been showing this stupid program for about 3 years now. And there is another show that insults a viewers intelligence on this network. It's called, 'What on Earth?" This show uses the same ridiculous nonsense and idiocy spewed by "experts" about places on Earth that are spotted by satellite cameras. Just like "Strange Evidence", there are so called "experts". All of these "experts" are obviously told to make the stupidest questions and statements that NO EXPERT in their scientific field would ever consider or make.

The Science Channel is starting to go down the same road of idiocy and stupidity that the History channel and Discovery have gone down. History channel should be renamed to the "Ancient Alien Theorists" channel. And if so, then is it possible that this network has been overtaken by aliens? Ancient alien theorists say, "YES!" Well of course they do.

I, and others who have functioning brains, expect a network called, "Science", to actually provide programs and shows that are based on actual fact based, researched, and reality based information. These types of programs have no redeeming value. The only thing these stupid programs can do is to give conspiracy theorists, and "alternative facts" believers something they can attach to, to make themselves feel that they are "right".

It's utterly pathetic that I figure out the 'mysterious' events at home, just using logic. The new channel 'Cottage Life' has scrap shows like this; I will NEVER subscribe to a channel that defames real science & using your brain. Pitiful.

I enjoy the show...most everything except for Sian Proctor - EVERY one of her comments MUST include the word HELL...so low, so dumb, so unnecessary - if the show is still being produced, please dump her - if my IQ was already low, will I still lose points?...how many?

Looks interested but for each mystery it just goes on and on and on, it could be aliens, it could be God, could be ghosts, then it's just a reflective light in the sky. Then the next mystery starts and you realise I have other channels.

I'll admit that some of the comments at the beginning of each video are down right absurd and they dont play the videos long enough but alot of the videos are interesting to say the least i like the show and can be very interesting

Examination of mysterious/unusual footage that lets you wonder a bit as they examine various explanations, then settles in on an explanation, if they have one. I've always loved stuff like this; I also am a fan of Dark5 and Hybrid Librarian on YouTube, Weird Wonders of the World on Netflix, or What On Earth On Science channel as well. Admittedly some of the footage might get repeated a bit, as it's often short, like dash-cam recordings. Some of the events I've seen elsewhere, (Weird Wonders of the World especially), but it's still interesting to go through the possible explanations.

Seems like the negative reviews are coming from the way the footage is presented, in that it might be repeated or you might know what it is right away. Yeah, I can see that, but it doesn't ruin my enjoyment of it. I end up watching the episodes multiple times and have in fact bought it from Amazon. Looking forward to more episodes.

What is this?

It could be a yoyo it might be a burrito .... next video repeat.

With all of the mind numbing drivel that is on TV these days, the science channel USED to be the place you could go that had shows with some form of intelligence. Strange evidence just shows that the science channel has succumb to the ignorance of the masses. Not only are the "theories" they come up with utter nonsense that even a 5 yr old could see through, their facts are just downright wrong!!! I just heard them say with one of these ridiculous theories regarding a giant spider web that black widows kill 7 people a year. That is just PLAIN WRONG!!!!! Is anyone actually fact checking the stories? Not to mention anyone, esp a biologist being interviewed, that knows anything about spiders knows it couldn't possibly be a black widow web. But I guess it's all about what sells and the science channel is becoming no different than all the other garbage that is on these days. So sad....

This has to be one of the worst tv shows iv ever seen. Iv tried on many occasions to watch it hopeing maybe the episode i watched previously was just a bad example. But no, every single episode is the same they take an easily explained phenomenon, use some idiot who pretends to be an expert in something or other, show you a few frames of a blurry video, and then pretend as if theres some mystery to it. After about 15 to 20 mins of this ridiculous scharade they show the entire video and explain that its something that was easily identified by any rational human. Rinse and repeat. I dont know what happened to the educational channels but almost all of them are doing shows like this now. I dont know if its about money or its simply easier to make or maybe theres an overall plot to keep us stupid whatever the reasons the once decent shows on history, science, natgeo ect. have been replaced with trash. Not only that but they play these shows over and over. Everyday is a marathon of one of these shows or another its to the point i dont watch any of them anymore, shame to because thats all i used to watch.

Play the entire video for christ sakes!! Let people make their own assumptions..

I want to fire back at those who say this show is crap. I and my boyfriend are currently watching an episode of the show for the first time and we're ENJOYING IT! how any of you can say it's crap, i have no idea. apparently you have no interest in it? that's fine! watch something else and let others enjoy this FASCINATING and intriguing show

Another fake click bait dumb show where the show you a 480i picture of a dolphin then pretend its a kraken for 56 minutes to then tell u it was just a dolphin the whole time.... this show made me sick.

All the low reviews are indeed correct, but I do enjoy watching the videos which often show really bizarre events. The problem as everyone notes is that the so-called experts inject huge amounts of filler in the form of explanations that are obviously not correct. They clearly do this to get by with only a few videos per show. They could simply show the videos a couple of times and then provide the explanation if one is known or state no viable explanation has yet surfaced. If they did that each show would last 5-10 minutes instead of 41 (minus ads). I record the shows and simply watch the videos. I then fast forward to the end of each segment for the explanation (if any) while also skipping commercials. Obviously if the show were really well produced this would not be necessary, but I still watch, so I came up with a 7/10 for the videos I find interesting. Some really are informative and some reveal facts which can be helpful. You can learn things you might not otherwise know, such as certain unsafe activities or places to avoid, or that are so interesting and safe you can add them to your bucket list for a future planned visit or experience.

This show saved me from the gloom and doom of COVID. It's fun,exciting and interesting. The only thing I loath is the background music. It's loader then the narrator and almost completely blocks out what they are saying. Keep showings more! So entertaining...

This is literally--LITERALLY--the worst show ever broadcast. Breathless, wide-eyed "experts" watch a brief clip of poor-quality video, proclaim they've never seen anything like it before, and then--despite their admitted lack of knowledge and evidence--they spend 90% of the program tossing around profoundly stupid and outlandish theories. It's only redeeming quality is that was swiftly cancelled. This is the kind of show that makes people cancel their cable service. Total dumpster fire. ZERO stars.

Sad because it could have been so good. But here's the basic pattern of every single segment Show an interesting video clip Engage in a ton of hyperbolic uninformed conjecture about what it could be Exaggerate the possibilities to include the supernatural, the impossible and add in a dash of tinfoil hat conspiracy theory Bring in supposed experts to breathlessly elaborate on ridiculous possibilities Add more hype There's time to fill before the commercial break so add even more hype Postulate aliens, foreign attacks, supernatural causes, or magic And at the last minute supply the interesting but otherwise mundane natural explanation.

The sad thing is none of the hype is necessary. The video clips show interesting things and events that at first blush do appear to be unusual and their ultimate (natural and earthbound) explanations are sufficiently interesting. As it stands however you have the "science" channel peddling anti-scientific hype, pseudoscience, and conjecture to excite and amaze an audience before revealing the interesting but earthbound truth.

Shame on the Science Channel.
