Take a fun-filled, tongue-in-cheek, fast-paced journey across the country in search of local legends and myths to find out if there is any historical validity to these tall tales in the new weekly series WEIRD U.S.

Based on the best-selling book of the same name, WEIRD U.S. is a deliciously demented weekly tour of offbeat American history. Host/authors Mark Sceurman and Mark Moran scour the country in search of the bizarre, the unexplained, and the really strange historical stories that never got into the history books, because, as they say, "history is full of weirdos."

In each episode of WEIRD U.S., follow the two Marks as they go off the beaten path to expand their research across the weird American landscape of Melon Heads, Phantom Clowns, Foulke Monsters, Prairie Moon Gardens, and Slimy Slim. Some of the people and places they encounter are disturbing, others hilarious, but all are very weird.

Hosts Mark Sceurman and Mark Moran are the publishers of Weird NJ Magazine, which documents New Jersey's less celebrated history and tourist attractions. They followed the cult success of their publication with the best-selling books Weird NJ and Weird U.S. No matter the "weirdity," the two Marks are on the case, determined to uncover the truth - and to sometimes discover that history is stranger than fiction.
