List of episodes

S5E5 - Spirits of Tikal / Creature from the Black Lagoon

Deep in the forests of Guatemala lie the ancient ruins of a city named Tikal, where human sacrifice was once common. Now, locals claim to have witnessed paranormal activity in the area—could this be the work of spirits who can't find rest in the afterlife?

In the ocean near Fiji, sightings of a strange monster have terrified the locals. Often seen near the mangroves, this amphibious monster is said to have a diamond-shaped head, huge razor-sharp teeth, and an impenetrable armored shell of scales.

S5E6 - Vampire Monsters / Island of the Damned

Since time immemorial, Transylvania has been the home to vampire myths and legend. There are many in the area, however, who believe that true vampires come in the form of a strange but dangerous animal with massive fangs. Could vampires be based on a real but rare animal?

In the Baltic Sea near Sweden, there is a small island named Bla Jungfrun. This tiny outcropping was once the place where people who were thought to be witches were executed. Perhaps the haunted souls of the innocent still haunt the area. That would certainly explain all the supernatural phenomena reported on the isle.

S5E7 - Hanging Coffins / Kazakh Monster

In the Philippines, there is a strange place called Echo Valley. In this valley, which is located on Luzon Island, the local Igorot tribe claims that coffins containing their dead are haunted. Strange lights, disembodied voices and even violent hallucinations have been reported in the area of these coffins.

The Kiyik Adam of Kazakhstan is said to be a huge, hulking creature that terrorizes the locals, not unlike the legendary Bigfoot. With a furry hide, bulging muscles and razor sharp claws, just the sight of this beast would be enough to drive many people mad and, since the locals are reporting frequent sightings, it's up to Josh to track the Kiyik Adam down.
