"'The Unexplained,' Liman's first foray into non-scripted television, uses his world-renowned storytelling and film-making expertise to deliver real-life stories that take audiences to places they have never been before: investigating, questioning, experiencing and chasing down answers to the most bizarre stories and strangest paranormal occurrences," A&E said on its Web site.

"Possible topics for the series are past-life regressions, real-life hauntings, near-death and out-of-body experiences and other chilling personal encounters. These are first-person emotional stories of life, death and the possible in-between that have never been told."
