Scientists search for the truth behind reports of legendary monsters around the world.

Sightings in the Sky

Hotspots of unexplained activity exist across America - specific regions where encounters with unknown creatures and supernatural forces seem to repeat again and again. From the famed Skinwalker Ranch in Utah, to the monstrous Mothman in Point Pleasant, West Virginia, to the Texas Dogman Triangle, the Bigfoot that calls the Klammath mountains of California home, and the numerous possession accounts that haunt Pittsburgh.

Monster Hotspots

Our homes are meant to be sanctuaries - places where nothing can harm us. But sometimes, that sense of safety is shattered by something sinister. From "The Grassman" in rural Ohio, to the Spotsville Monster in Kentucky, to the haunted house of Amityville fame, the "Fouke Monster" in Indiana and a young girl's bizarre time slip, these witnesses have their sense of security smashed by the unexplained.

Domestic Disturbance

These are terrifying encounters with cryptids and the paranormal that didn't happen by accident… they began with one grave mistake that turned curiosity into a nightmare; from a terrifying shadow man in Indiana, to a real-life house haunting that inspired the movie "The Conjuring," a Bigfoot in Wyoming, a Skunk Ape in Florida and a demonic cryptid in California, these eyewitnesses made one critical mistake that changed everything.

Grave Mistakes

These are the chilling accounts of people who claim they were hunted by mysterious cryptids; from a Dogman in Ohio, a group of Bigfoot in Washington state, a Skunk Ape in Florida and a mysterious Wendigo in Wisconsin, these cryptid predators stalk their human prey.

Hunted

These are the chilling encounters of people who trespassed into the domain of the unexplained… and paid the price; from Bigfoot in Washington State and Maryland, a Skunk Ape in Florida, a malevolent spirit in Washington state and a dogman in Kansas, witnesses cross a boundary into the unknown… and face what awaits them on the other side.

Trespassers Beware

From training grounds to war-torn battlefields, a growing number of soldiers report encounters not with enemy combatants, but with something beyond the known world; from a demonic entity in Bagdad Iraq, a haunted house in England, a Bigfoot in Washington State, a UFO over the skies of Kentucky and a Djinn on the Balad Air Base in Iraq, marines, soldiers and airmen come face to face with forces no training could ever prepare them for.

Active Duty

These are the chilling cases of law enforcement officers facing monsters no training could ever prepare them for; from the Beast of LBL to Bigfoot encounters in Oklahoma and Washington State, a shadow man in New Jersey and a bizarre half-man, half-goat in Colorado; first responders confront creatures that defy logic and warp reality.
