Exploring a jungle refuge concealing a story of royal deceit, nuclear bunkers infiltrated by outsiders, and a haunted hospital marked by scandal.

Exploring a beachside resort with ties to the Russian mafia, a windswept base hiding lifesaving technology, and a site in Iowa plagued by its past.

An ominous tower in the forests of Croatia, a New York City complex that broke the mould, and a grand facility guarding the London riverbanks.

A desert island with an infected past adrift from the US mainland, the brutalist palace of a mad Bulgarian dictator, a top-secret Nazi project doomed from the start, and a floating prison rotting in Sydney Harbour.
