There’s a lot of repetition and drawing out of story lines in this bargain basement reality show, and if you were hoping to see “the Black Wolf” or “The Woman of the Woods” in this episode, you were likely to be disappointed…
Team researcher Jeff had been acting vaguely as if possessed recently, showing the others a video with a creepy voice recording, and relating how he had awoken in the Dark Forest alone with his clothes beside him. The team in response followed GPS coordinates to the Dark Forest in Lee County, Virginia. There they found Bigfoot signs such as broken branches, and ran across a reticent man they questioned who denied knowledge of anything but advised them not to go into the woods. Of course they did (at night, no less), finding a deer head hung in the woods and perceiving something to run past them. At that point, Jeff inexplicably got a nosebleed, and the evening’s festivities were called off.
Meanwhile, team members Willy and Wild Bill had been building a base camp shelter. In the daytime, the team heard a high-pitched squeal, and pursuing it found what appeared to be wolf tracks by a river. A tree-structure sign marker (pictured) was found near their camp, with Jeff later collapsing and being termed a security risk by team security member Huckleberry.
Looking in the woods for additional marker-type signs, the team found sharpened branches and multiple trip lines. Headlights were seen, causing the team to hunker down, at which point Jeff wigged out further, running off and leading them on a merry chase. They found him in a trance-like state being pointed at by a small girl, who then conveniently ran off. Jeff became combative when they tried to bring him around, but eventually came to himself. Another strange noise was heard, and the team headed back to their base camp, finding someone sitting there who said that the noise they had heard was the Black Wolf. The episode ended on this note, presumably with more to follow on the big bad wolf in the upcoming installment…







The S3/Ep08 episode of Monsters and Mysteries in America featured a cryptid, an otherworldly encounter, and a paranormal experience, a bit of something for everyone! In Alexander City in Illinois in the Shawnee National Forest (Devil’s Kitchen sector) lurks a never-identified feline creature, similar to a black panther but at over 9′ in length much larger. The panther is further extraordinary in that it can apparently appear and disappear. Accounts of the demon panther date back to the mid-1800’s, with a butler working on the exterior grounds of a mansion reportedly attacked in July of 1917 but the attacker never found. More recently in fall of 1969, cryptozoology investigator Loren Coleman traveling as a passenger in a car saw a large black panther crossing the road, wishing to exit the vehicle to search for tracks which he was not able to do as his companions wished to leave the vicinity. A bit later in fall of 1969, Mike Busby was out driving late at night when his car quit, causing him to exit the vehicle to work on the engine. The panther then pounced on him, and the situation was dire until he went limp and the headlights of another vehicle caused the creature to break off the attack. Remarkably, the panther was then seen to walk off into the woods on its hind legs! The police thought that the panther was a large wolf, although the victim knew better and suffered a lengthy recovery from the attack…
