Destination Truth

SEASON 3

Episode #01 - Haunted Forest/Alux

In one of their most hair-raising experiences to date, Josh and team travel to Romania to
investigate paranormal activity in the Hoia Baciu woods. According to local authorities,
the forest is home to numerous sightings of apparitions and fleeting beams of light. In
addition, these experts have remained puzzled about the presence of a “crop circle” in
the forest, a mysteriously sparse patch of land devoid of the thick vegetation that
surrounds it.
After a nearly fatal flight that ends in an emergency landing when the roof of their small
aircraft is forcefully detached from the plane in mid-air, the crew is finally able to track
the crop circle area and set up for their investigation. The chilling nighttime endeavor is
fraught with challenges, as the crew battles inexplicable feelings of nausea and
disorientation. In one fearful moment, the team comes to the rescue of their
cameraman, who is knocked to the ground in the crop circle by an invisible energy.
Armed with evidence of their eventful evening, Josh asks Ghost Hunters Jason Hawes
and Grant Wilson to lend a hand during the analysis.
In the second investigation, the team heads to the Yucatán to explore the myth of the
Alux, a pygmy like creature reported by Maya people. Josh leads the crew on a trek
deep into remote caves to hunt for the truth behind this ancient legend.


Episode #02 - Island of the Dolls/Lusca

South of Mexico City in the last of the old Aztec canals, there is an island that visitors
claim is overrun by thousands of haunted dolls. The island's caretakers hung up these
dolls to ward off the spirit of a young girl who had drowned there while visiting the island.
Don Julian, the caretaker, was found dead in the same canal where the young girl
drowned. Now, locals claim his spirit also haunts the island. Josh and team's chilling
nighttime pursuit amongst the throng of sinister dolls yields some of their compelling oncamera
evidence yet!
From there, the crew dives headfirst into the deep waters surrounding Andros Island in
the Bahamas in search of the most feared monster in the ocean - the eight-legged
Lusca. The creature is said to lurk in the region's menacing underwater labyrinth of
caves and tunnels, far below the stunning, crisp scenery above sea level. Josh, a scuba
enthusiast always up for the next diving adventure, gears up to navigate this seemingly
endless maze in search of the truth behind the Caribbean's most infamous legend.


Episode #03 - King Tut's Curse/Swamp Ape

Josh and team head to Egypt, where they set out to make history as one of the only
production crews in the world permitted to investigate inside King Tut's tomb at night.
The dangerous expedition has led to the untimely deaths of many who attempted it in
the decades since the tomb's discovery, and conditions prove to be no easier for the
Destination Truth crew, who must battle illnesses and a sandstorm before collecting
evidence of the paranormal in the sinister depths of the famed sepulcher.
Then, the crew embarks on another unprecedented journey for the show's first-ever
U.S.-based investigation: the search for a swamp ape living in the Florida Everglades.


Episode #04 - Ghosts of Chernobyl/Sal'awa

Special Guest Appearances by Ghost Hunters' Jason Hawes and Grant Wilson
In this chilling episode, the team embarks on a paranormal investigation at the desolate
site of the world's worst nuclear accident: the Chernobyl power plant, located in what is
now the Ukraine. The tragic disaster in 1986 resulted in numerous deaths, and today,
some locals living on the edge of the disaster zone tell stories about apparitions of the
deceased still present among the affected towns, particularly in the abandoned town of
Pripyat, the former home for the Chernobyl workers.
The Destination Truth crew is the first film crew ever to obtain permits and film inside the
Chernobyl reactor zone overnight. After gathering their research, Josh and team use
high tech anti-radiation suits and travel through several remote checkpoints before
entering the abandoned towns. Armed with high-tech dosimeters and Geiger counters
to measure radiation, the team begins a nail-biting investigation of one of the world's
most devastated destinations. Ghost Hunters Jason Hawes and Grant Wilson make a
guest appearance to help analyze the team's footage.
Then, the team heads to the blistering sands of Cairo, Egypt, where locals claim to be
attacked by a monstrous canine creature thirsty for human blood: the Sal'awa.


Episode #05 - Alien Mummies/Van Lake Monster

Alien Mummies / Chile
Josh and team embark on their first UFO investigation in Chile, where, according to
experts, an alien mummy was exhumed in the desert thousands of miles south of Lima.
The stretch of land in-between is believed to be swarming with extraterrestrial activity.
Locals also claim to see live aliens wandering around in the dark, mysterious lights in the
sky and disembodied voices.

Van Lake Monster / Turkey
Josh and the team engage in a fishing trip they won't ever forget: something massive
may be lurking in a lake in Van, Turkey. The lake, nearly the size of Rhode Island, is
supposedly home to an animal that that measures more than 40 feet long, with dark
scaly skin and a long spiny back. Though the myth stretches years back in Turkish
history, nobody has yet proven if the monster exists or not.
During a search on the lake's surface, Josh catches something long, and serpentine on
the thermal imagery monitor. The team returns to the US and takes their findings to a
professor at Santa Barbara for analysis.


Episode #06 - Chullachaqui / Bermuda Triangle

Chullachaqui / Peru
Joined by special guest stars Robb Demarest and Dustin Pari from Ghost Hunters
International, Josh and team make their way to the jungles of Peru, where a terrifying
creature resembling a gremlin is reportedly terrorizing the locals.

Bermuda Triangle
Josh and his team take on the age-old legend of the Bermuda Triangle, an area in the
Atlantic Ocean infamous for pulling planes out of the sky and swallowing ships into the
sea. It is believed that the triangle's strange energy vortexes appear at the same
locations again and again, so the team plans to chart a direct course through each
known coordinate where ships and planes had disappeared. As a result, they manage
to collect a phenomenal amount of evidence, including strong electromagnetic
disturbances and a mysterious image on their IR camera.


Episode #07 - Haunted Lost City/Thunderbird

Haunted Lost City / Peru
Leads team into the rugged mountains of Peru to investigate claims that the Incan ruins
there are haunted. Shrouded in the Andes mountains, the Incan city disappeared half a
millennia ago: the residents reportedly buried their gold in the tunnels underneath the
city and committed suicide before the Spanish conquistadors could invade. Today, local
farmers claim that their animals react violently when passing by the ruins.
Josh and his team are the first to head to the region with a camera crew and stay
overnight. Midway up the trail, the team's horses start to panic inexplicably; the locals
will head no further and take their animals back down with them, leaving Josh and team
to continue on their own.
The investigation yields such compelling audio and visual evidence that Josh calls on
expert analysts Steve Gonsalves and Dave Tango from Ghost Hunters to determine
whether the Lost City is still inhabited with spirits.

Thunderbird / Alaska
The team takes their adventures to Alaska, where locals claim a giant winged bird is
terrorizing their community. A nocturnal creature said to be part bird, part reptile, the
“Thunderbird” has recently been sighted soaring high over the Alaskan landscape by
local pilots. Josh and crew set out for a sub-zero exploration of the artic terrain.


Episode #08 - Werewolf/Arica Monster

Werewolf / Romania
The team travels to Romania, chasing recent reports about werewolf sightings. During a
search of a nearly abandoned village, the team hears a disembodied howling noise, spot
eyes watching them through the trees, and make a cast of canine prints to take back to
the States for analysis.

Arica Monster / Chile
The team flies to northern Chile to track down what some believe to be an ancient
creature that managed to survive extinction. Reports include sightings of a dinosaur-like
creature with a 3-toed foot, an extremely quick gait and sharp teeth. Josh and crew
investigate the desert region, during which time they are able to collect evidence of
several large footprints matching the description of the locals' claims.


Episode #09 - Bhutan Yeti

In the fall finale, Josh and the rest of the Destination Truth crew travel to Bhutan, Nepal
to continue their search of the Yeti, after their exciting discovery of a mysterious footprint
during a past investigation.
This timeless myth proves once again to yield fruitful results for the team, and they
return to the United States with more startling evidence of the elusive creature.
