America's Monsters

- Season 1

(2013)

Wisconsin is united in fear by the legend of Hodag, a fierce creature with scales, horns, and sharp claws. But he, or it, is not alone. Whether he's known as Bigfoot, Sasquatch, Yeti, or the Abominable Snowman, the bipedal, ape-like monster covered in fur has captivated imaginations the world over.

Beware of monsters among us. A winged creature called the Mothman stalks residents of Point Pleasant, West Virginia with eyes that glow a fierce red. And in the small town of Adams, Tennessee, the Bell Witch has cursed the Bell family with a frightening poltergeist.

Mysterious entities lurk in the dark depths of North America's lakes. Over the past 150 years, there have been sightings, photos and even videos of Ogopogo on the shores of Okanagan Lake in British Columbia. Minnesota's Lake Pepin is said to be home to Pepie, a large serpentine creature.

We venture to Lake Champlain, where compelling evidence and eyewitness accounts tell the story of Champ, America's oldest monster. And in North Carolina, Lake Norman is home to Normie, a lake monster reported to look like an overgrown alligator.
