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.

27 miles long, 15 miles wide, and 370 feet deep. Flathead Lake has a lot of places to hide. But this isn’t the same old lake monster story. Over the course of more than a century, the tale of Flathead Lake has been one of not one, but two cryptids who share the same name. But what’s happening in northwest Montana that’s created this strange cryptid dichotomy? Or is it possible that we just might need another name? Tonight on Uncanny America, join us as we go in search of the Flathead Lake Monster.

What happens when a story no longer serves it’s purpose? Does it fade into obscurity? Or change into something new? In the 1970s the town of Little Eagle, SD experienced a rash of Bigfoot sightings that drew the eyes of the world to the Badlands. But it would become clear that this wasn’t simply Bigfoot, a fact that would have greater implications for the people of South Dakota. Tonight on Uncanny America, we go in search of the Taku-He.

The mountains of Colorado are a place of wondrous natural beauty, and there are many creatures that you might expect to encounter if you visit. However, a land-based leviathan likely wasn’t one of them. But that’s exactly what is said to be lurking in the mountains around the small mining town of Rico, laying in wait for those unwary enough to venture into its path. But is the true terror lurking in the mountains a vicious predator, or something simultaneously more mundane and altogether more dangerous? Tonight on Uncanny America, join us as we go in search of the Slide-Rock Bolter.

At first glance, Kansas doesn’t appear to be a place that has anything to hide. The expansive, wide-open fields in America’s Heartland seem to be nothing but open to the sun and sky above. What could possibly be hiding in plain sight? It’s only when the sun goes down that we get our answer. Because darkness hides all manner of things, even in the wide-open land of Kansas. From creatures that have existed from antiquity to strange creatures from a strange land to fearsome monsters that strike fear into all who encounter them, Kansas has a little of everything on offer. Tonight on Uncanny America, we go in search of the cryptids of Kansas. The Dogman, Phantom Kangaroos, and the Devil Monkeys.

Still waters run deep and hold many secrets, but running waters can be just as mysterious. From the folk legends of the Nez Perce to the Coast Gard of the 20th Century, the rivers and lakes of Oregon have long been said to be the home to monsters that lurk just beneath the surface. Sometimes fearsome and other times benign, these creatures have become both fearsome deterrents to intruders in their watery realms to pop culture icons that adorn everything from souvenir keychains to craft-brewed IPAs. What are their stories, and what might they really be? Tonight on Uncanny America, we go in search of Big Wally and Colossal Claude.
