Plot Synopsis

Comedian Judah Friedlander hosts this three-part event, as he and a team of cryptozoologists travel across the United States and investigate mythical legends, including the American Loch Ness Monster, the blood-sucking chupacabra, and a giant winged horse-man monster. The search for these modern-day cryptic icons begins in New Jersey, where the Jersey Devil isn't just a hockey mascot, but a winged monster with the head of a horse and the torso of a man. After hearing several eyewitness accounts, the team takes the investigation one step further and enlists the help of a psychic medium. Farther north, in Vermont, the group scours Lake Champlain with sonar technology in search of Champ, a revered beast lurking in the lake's deep, murky waters. Then, they travel to Texas to examine the remains of what could be an actual chupacabra carcass. When Nat Geo Wild premiered this series, the cable channel aired all three episodes on the same night from 8-11pm ET/PT on Saturday, October 26, 2013.
