“Mountain Monsters” Moves to Travel Channel August 21

Fan of Mountain Monsters? Well, they’re coming back for a fourth season, but to a new channel.

Mountain Monsters moves to its new home on Travel Channel with a special two-hour premiere on Wednesday, August 21 at 9 p.m. ET/PT.

Don’t worry. Even though it’s moving from Destination America, the rip-roarin’ group of self-proclaimed “hillbilly hunters” who make up the AIMS team (the Appalachian Investigators of Mysterious Sightings) –Trapper, Buck, Huckleberry, Jeff, Willy and Wild Bill– are all back too.

They’ll continue to trek through the depths of Appalachia’s mountain forests searching for creatures of mythical origins. The fearless team of hard-core trappers are determined to track down proof monsters still roam this region today.

There will be ten episodes in all. They’ll air on Wednesdays at 9 p.m. ET/PT. The new season will run from August 21 through September 25. The final four hours will pick back up and premiere beginning on October 30.

Here’s a peek at some of the upcoming episodes:

“THE DARK FOREST REVEALED” – Premieres August 21 at 9 p.m. ET/PT

Picking up at the exact moment last season left off, the AIMS members are on a race to flee the Dark Forest before it tears the team apart. After a heart-wrenching health update from Team Leader Trapper, the team members set out to finally get the answers eluding them. How did that skull get up Jeff’s nose? What secrets does the Dark Forest really hold? They realize they must head back and find an old barn that holds the key to all of the answers they so desperately need. But is the team finally ready for the truth?

“THE WAYA WOMAN OF JACKSON COUNTY” – Premieres August 28 at 9 p.m. ET/PT

After a shocking revelation in the Dark Forest, the AIMS Team members are back doing what they do best, hunting monsters, as they begin an all-new epic adventure to get to the bottom of a brand-new mystery. The first stop is Jackson County, West Virginia, as the team heads after a monstrous wolf creature known as the Waya Woman. This 7-foot-tall being roams the cornfields of Jackson County and the team must build a trap strong enough to contain this beast and also be placed deep in the cornfields. Dead chickens, creepy altars and Wild Bill’s high school nickname are all on full display in this incredible episode.

“THE SECRET OF THE BLUE HOUSE” – Premieres September 4 at 9 p.m. ET/PT

After making several shocking discoveries in the cornfields of Jackson County, the AIMS team continues its search for the truth surrounding the legendary Waya Woman. At the heart of this mystery sits an old, abandoned blue house with a terrifying history. Not only have two families been killed here under suspicious circumstances, but their deaths are believed to be tied to the Waya Woman herself. The team finds out that only way to get answers is to simultaneously try out two rituals, which bring about face-to-face encounters they could have never prepared for.

“THE SILVER GIANT OF BOONE COUNTY” – Premieres September 11 at 9 p.m. ET/PT

The AIMS team sets off after a massive bear creature known as the Silver Giant. This behemoth is said to stand on its hind legs at over 10-feet-tall and has a silver streak running down its back. Due to his love of anything bear related, Wild Bill decides to step up his game and mimic Jeff as the team researcher. Obsessed with science and “scat samples,” Wild Bill is in full researcher mode as the team creates its largest trap to date. But the team members soon learn the Silver Giant may not be the only mysterious creature in the hills of Boone County.
