A Unicorn: a series of checks by the queen alone which results in a perpetual check and a draw.
A Samson: The consecutive taking of two rooks ( Preferrably on their original square ) by one enemy piece( most probably a queen or a rook.) In the biblical account of Samson, we have:
3 But Samson lay there only until the middle of the night. Then he got up and took hold of the doors of the city gate, together with the two posts, and tore them loose, bar and all. He lifted them to his shoulders and carried them to the top of the hill that faces Hebron.
