  • Episode 48: The Kushtaka
    It’s a well-known fact that Innocence can be deceiving. And this is very much the fact in southeastern Alaska. Behind a pair of big brown eyes lurks a creature spoken of in hushed tones at the feet of grandmothers and around campfires. By turns malicious and mischievous, helpful and harmful, the Tlingit people know never to let their guard down when an eerie whistle sounds across the water. But is this truly a supernatural creature, or is it a simple cautionary tale to keep naughty children in check? Tonight, on Uncanny America, join us as we go in search of the Kushtaka.

  • Episode 47: The Mogollon Monster

  • Episode 46: The Chupacabra
    It’s something out of science fiction. A shadowy figure with glowing red eyes and leathery skin lurking in the darkness just outside the light. And when the morning light chases away the shadows, bodies drained of blood are the tell-tale sign of its nocturnal hunt. As the world approached the 21st-century reports of this blood-drinking monster would flourish in news reports and internet message boards to create one of the most infamous cryptids of the modern age. But where did it come from? Was it simply a creature unknown to science, or the horrific result of government experimentation? Tonight on Uncanny America, join us as we go in search of the Chupacabra.

  • Episode 45: The Oklahoma Octopus
    In 2007 the death of a seven-year-old boy would rattle the state of Oklahoma. What at first seemed like nothing more than a tragic accident would eventually cause people to wonder just what lurked beneath the placid waters of the many lakes that dot the eastern side of the state. But when local legend seems to contradict established science, one side would eventually reveal the truth. But what is revealed and what is remembered can often be two completely different things. Tonight on Uncanny America, join us as we go in search of the Oklahoma Octopus.

  • Episode 44: Skinwalker Ranch
    Across the United States, there are locations that can instantly evoke a sense of mystery and the paranormal. Roanoke. Salem. Alcatraz. Area 51. But there’s another name that many say belongs on this same list. Skinwalker Ranch.
    From the ancient folk beliefs of the Ute and Navajo to modern-day UFO sightings, the Uintah Basin has long been home to tales of strange happenings and even stranger creatures. But is there any truth to the legends? Are the residents really being visited by extraterrestrials? And why has the ranch been labeled off-limits to outsiders? Tonight, join us on Uncanny America as we explore the strange story of Skinwalker Ranch.

  • Episode 43: The San Pedro Mountain Mummy
    Humans have always been fascinated by the dead. In the remains of those who have passed from this world, we find answers about those people and civilizations who have come before. But sometimes the dead raise just as many questions as they answer. When a small mummy was found in the San Pedro Mountains of Wyoming in 1932 it would kick off a mystery that continues on to this day. Tonight on Uncanny America, join us as we go in search of the San Pedro Mountains Mummy.

  • Episode 42: The Bear Lake Monster
    Bear Lake. With its startling vivid turquoise blue water, it’s been called the Caribbean of the Rockies. With unique species of fish swimming beneath the surface, it’s certainly a place unique not just in Idaho, but in the world. And it certainly must have been a breathtaking site to a party of Mormon settlers who would arrive there in 1863. But they would soon witness a unique creature of an altogether more terrifying nature. But what was this monster that would hold not just on the people of Bear Lake, but the entire country? Tonight on Uncanny America, join us as we go in search of the Bear Lake Monster.

  • Episode 41: Batsquatch
    In 1980 one of the most devastating natural disasters in American history struck the state of Washington when Mount St. Helens unleashed devastation with explosive force. Enough force, some say, to tear a hole between this world and the next and let something through to our world. Blue fur, bat-like wings, and eyes like the moon. Over the following decades, sightings would come in from not just Washington, but across the US of this strange winged creature that left little evidence behind. But was there really something there, or was it just the echoes of past tragedy? Tonight on Uncanny America, join us as we go in search of Batsquatch.
