For years, the Appalachian Mountains have held mysteries of unexplained creatures and phenomena hidden deep within its hollers and woods. Now, a band of six hardcore outdoorsmen have established a monster-hunting team called the Appalachian Investigators of Mysterious Sightings (AIMS), who are on a mission to not only protect their Appalachian brethren from the threat of some aggressive cryptids, but are also out to prove that some creatures - like Bigfoot, bloodsucking canines, or bipedal hybrid creatures - are truly out there. These men build elaborate traps on an attempt to capture these creatures; if the team doesn't trap one, however, the creature, or creatures, can get too close for comfort. Destination America's #1 hit show Mountain Monsters follows this team into Appalachia's backwoods, hills, and hollers to prove these mysterious creatures exist in the region that has more sightings of these cryptids than anywhere else in the United States.
