This week on The House Red, we dive into the unbelievable life of Frano Selak, the Croatian schoolteacher often called the luckiest—or unluckiest—man alive. Was he blessed by fate, cursed with impossible misfortune, or simply the greatest statistical anomaly ever recorded? Join us as we unpack one of history’s most incredible survival stories.

When Soviet archaeologists opened the tomb of Timur—better known as Timur the Lame—they reportedly found a chilling warning: disturb his grave, and a greater invader would follow. Days later, Nazi Germany launched Operation Barbarossa.

Coincidence, legend, or something darker? This week, we look at the life of one of history’s most feared rulers and the strange events tied to his tomb, and decide whether some secrets are better left buried.

In 1908, a massive explosion tore through the remote wilderness of Siberia, flattening more than 80 million trees across hundreds of square miles. The strange part? No crater. No impact site.

This week on The House Red, we investigate the mysterious Tunguska Event, one of the most powerful explosions in recorded history and a cosmic cold case that still sparks debate more than a century later.
