Do secret societies control our government? Discovery Channel turns history upside-down and reveals the role of unknown organizations in America's government -and beyond - with the new special SECRETS OF SECRET SOCIETES that premieres Sunday, Oct. 14 at 10PM ET/PT.

Freemasons step out of The Shadows to reveal the deepest secrets of the order. Skeptics may become believers as a leading member of the "Ordo Templi Orientis," one the world's most mysterious secret societies, presents never-before-seen rituals on television. Watch as the riddles behind everyday symbols in our culture reveal a deeper, darker role in our society.

Signs of secret societies that are hidden in plain sight are revealed throughout the architecture of Washington, D.C. Nothing appears as what it seems as secret society expert, Mitch Horwitz, provides insight to how the Freemasons guided some of the events that changed America forever. Evidence will point to well-known artists, politicians and scientists as members of the enigmatic Freemasons - even past Presidents of the United States. Other secret societies that will be explored include Skull and Bones, the Bilderberg Group, and the Bohemian Club.

SECRETS OF SECRET SOCIETIES is produced for Discovery Channel by Left/Right, and Ken Druckerman and Banks Tarver are Executive Producers. For Discovery, Executive Producer is Craig Coffman.
