There are many films about adventurers but few people really give up everything to explore the world. Ivan Mackerle, from the Czech Republic, is one such person. He has spent all his money trying to solve mysteries around the world, including looking for Count Dracula's castle, the Loch Ness Monster, blood-sucking killer worms in the Gobi Desert and exploring the Valley of Death in Siberia.
Something terrible happened in the Valley of Death about 800 years. All the trees were knocked over and stones were scattered hundreds of kilometers away. Some people think that aliens were responsible.
Mackerle has never proved anything but he keeps on searching. As he says, "Most people, when they're adults, they marry and their lives begin. They have children and make money, they have their careers. But I wanted to stay in my dreams, with these adventures."
