The show is a paranormal reality series that follows a team of three experts in capturing footage, investigating, and exploring the paranormal world while on a unique adventure, trying to uncover and identify strange creatures that lurk within the fringes of the animal kingdom.
The three featured cast members of the show include Andy King, Brooks Gray, and Ken Hall. Andy King is a wildlife photographer, Brooks Gray is a hunter and tracker, and Ken Hall is an animal behavior specialist. These three eccentric personalities serve as the eyes and ears of the shows, who bring their expertise and experience to capture proof of the existence of cryptids or creatures, mythical animals whose existence has been speculated or unproven.
The show's premise is that these three individuals investigate and explore different locations worldwide in every episode to track down and observe bizarre and "freaky" animal encounters, which are usually outside the purview of science, conventional zoology or research. The show is a combination of a wildlife show and a paranormal reality show that mixes fact and fiction, and is often humor filled.
The team receives a lead to investigate unusual and exotic cryptid sightings of a new creature, with descriptions that sound like something ripped from myth and legend. The team dove into every investigation armed with gadgets like thermal and night vision cameras, recording equipment, and good old-fashioned explorer
