Dan Aykroyd on His Spooky Encounter with Britney Spears and Spiritualist Family
Dan Aykroyd, known for his roles in Ghostbusters and Coneheads, embraces the strange and supernatural. This passion makes him an ideal host for The UnBelievable, which returns for its third season on the History Channel starting November 7.
About The UnBelievable Season 3
The show explores some of the most bizarre yet true stories in human history, using reenactments, archival footage, and expert interviews. The premiere episode, titled "Strange Sightings," features stories about sinister clowns terrorizing neighborhoods and “America’s Most Haunted Highway,” along with other astonishing events.
Dan Aykroyd’s Thoughts on the Stories
"That was one of my favorites. I had heard about the I-4 highway story before the researchers proposed it for the show. I thought, ‘wow, this is a real thing.’ People I had spoken to many years ago told me this story."
"As for the clowns, I still don’t know, man. The fact there was this rumor in suburban America, and these clowns were appearing everywhere. Very haunting, very eerie, very creepy."
Aykroyd shared that watching the premiere episode late at night, especially the I-4 highway story set in Central Florida, was particularly chilling for him.
Personal Connections
In addition to hosting the show, Aykroyd opens up about his own experiences, including a spooky encounter with Britney Spears and his family’s background in spiritualism, though details on these are sparse in this excerpt.
