In season 4 episode 2 of Monsterquest, titled "Hillbilly Beast," the team of investigators travel to the Appalachian Mountains in search of a legendary creature known as the "Wampus Beast."
According to local folklore, the Wampus Beast is a large, cat-like creature with glowing eyes and razor-sharp teeth that prowls the woods at night. Some believe it to be a species of undiscovered big cat, while others argue that it is a supernatural entity with shape-shifting abilities.
The team meets with eyewitnesses who claim to have encountered the Wampus Beast firsthand, including a group of hunters who reportedly saw the creature dragging a deer carcass through the underbrush. They also speak with local historians who share stories of similar sightings dating back over a century.
To obtain physical evidence of the creature's existence, the team sets up a network of trail cameras throughout the woods. They also use thermal imaging equipment to search for heat signatures of any large animals moving through the area.
As they trudge through the dense forest, the investigators confront a number of challenges, including treacherous terrain and harsh weather conditions. They also encounter several potential suspects, including a pack of feral dogs and a large bobcat.
Despite these setbacks, the team remains determined to uncover the truth behind the Wampus Beast. As they review the footage captured by their cameras, they make an astonishing discovery that could finally prove the creature's existence.
