And bodies began to fall.Could something like this happen again?

  • Introducing Hidden History with Dr. Harini Bhat

    Introducing Hidden History with Dr. Harini Bhat
    Apr 21 2026
    Dr. Harini Bhat is a clinical pharmacist and storyteller obsessed with the moments in history that still can't be fully explained. Every week she investigates real events that defy easy explanation. Mass hysterias. Vanished civilizations. Medical oddities. Strange signals. Unexplained phenomena that keep repeating across centuries, as if history is trying to tell us something. Hidden History doesn't dismiss ancient events as myth or superstition. It treats them as open case files, shaped by the limits of knowledge, technology, and record-keeping. Because the unknown isn't a failure of explanation. It's a constant in human experience, one that evolves, repeats, and sometimes deepens the more we learn. Hidden History is a Rewind Original powered by PAVE Studios.
