Unexplained Mysteries: We were lucky enough to get our hands on a review copy of the new Renee Scheltema documentary on psychic phenomena entitled "Something Unknown" with the sub heading "is doing we don't know what". To this day claims of psychic abilities, telepathy, remote viewing and spiritual healing have been made by thousands around the world. "Something Unknown" follows Scheltema's journey to explore different areas of psychic phenomena after being inspired by a series of unexplainable experiences in her own life, it is both an exploration of the phenomena in general and a personal journey in search of answers to some of the world's most perplexing metaphysical mysteries.

A common pitfall of documentaries covering metaphysical topics is to try too hard to put forward either belief in or skepticism towards what is being covered, something that Scheltema has succeeded admirably in avoiding here. The film doesn't try to force you to believe in psychic phenomena and nor does it try to find cold hard scientific answers, instead it tries to present each phenomenon and provide a general background for each one with contributions from a variety of academics and researchers in the field.
