DESTINATION AMERICA’S #1 SERIES* IS BACK AND ON AN ULTIMATE QUEST
FOR THE MOST LEGENDARY OF ALL MOUNTAIN MONSTERS: BIGFOOT
-- Season 3 of MOUNTAIN MONSTERS Premieres Saturday, March 7 at 10/9c Only On Destination America --
(Silver
Spring, Md.) – For hundreds of years, Bigfoot has put Americans on edge
with sightings of giant man-beasts lurking in the forest, discoveries
of massive footprints in the mud, and reports of disembodied howls
floating in the nighttime. Nowhere does the mystery of Bigfoot’s
existence run deeper than in the backcountry of Appalachia where, over
the last 10 years alone, the Appalachian Investigators of Mysterious
Sightings (AIMS) has uncovered more than a dozen different clans of
Bigfoot that call the mountain region home. Locals have their own names
for these enormous ape-like creatures, from Midnight Whistlers to the Wildman,
but they’re all Bigfoot in the end. Trapper and his team of expert
hunters and outdoorsmen – including Jeff, Willy, Wild Bill, Huckleberry,
and Buck – have spent their entire lives navigating Appalachia’s rough
terrain, surviving off the land, and practicing do-it-yourself
resourcefulness in preparation for their toughest challenge yet:
defending mountain communities from Bigfoot, the most legendary monster
ever rumored to exist. Now, in the third season of Destination America’s
hit series MOUNTAIN MONSTERS,
AIMS travels to remote corners of the Appalachian wilderness, putting a
lifetime of training to the ultimate test, as they track and attempt to
trap local Bigfoots across the region in a quest to prove they are
fact, not folklore. MOUNTAIN MONSTERS: BIGFOOT EDITION premieres Saturday, March 7 at 10/9c on Destination America with
eight episodes pursuing Bigfoots across the mountain region. The second
half of the 16-episode season will premiere later in 2015.
“In the age-old battle between man and monster, the stakes have never been higher than in MOUNTAIN MONSTERS: BIGFOOT EDITION as
AIMS and America’s most legendary monster, Bigfoot, go head to hairy
head in an epic turf war over Appalachia,” said Marc Etkind, general
manager of Destination America. “AIMS has had run-ins before with
Bigfoot like the Yahoo and the Grassman,
their arch nemesis for two seasons running, but they are back this
season stronger, braver, and more prepared than ever to track down
Bigfoot and take back the mountains.”
In the season premiere of MOUNTAIN MONSTERS: BIGFOOT EDITION
on March 7, AIMS begins its epic quest to prove the existence of
Bigfoot in Appalachia. AIMS believes that central Kentucky’s clan of Midnight Whistlers
– enormous ape-like monsters known for their ear-piercing whistle,
green eyes, jet-black hair, and nocturnal behavior – were the first
variation of Bigfoot to emerge from the Mammoth Cave system some 3,000
years ago. The AIMS team goes hot on the trail of one Midnight Whistler
after discovering the most elaborate and massive nest they’ve seen to
date and must construct a customized trap large enough to contain this
8-foot tall monster. Little does AIMS know that where there’s one
Midnight Whistler, others are not far behind.
