Episode 1 Aired Jan 27, 2026 Louisiana's Werewolf: The Rougarou In the shadowed bayous of Louisiana's Tickfaw State Park, the legend of the Rougarou blurs the line between folklore and fear, as ancient curses, Cajun identity, and the wilderness itself converge. Details Episode 2 Aired Feb 3, 2026 Wendigo: Voyageurs National Park In the frozen expanse of Minnesota's Voyageurs National Park, the legend of the Wendigo emerges from the snowy silence not as a horned beast of horror films, but as a spiritual warning rooted in Algonquian tradition. Details Episode 3 Aired Feb 10, 2026 Jersey Devil: Wharton State Forest In the wilds of New Jersey's Pine Barrens, the legend of the Jersey Devil takes flight-not as a simple monster myth, but as a folkloric echo of colonial fear, social exile, and moral panic-asking how a cursed birth became an enduring creature. Details Episode 4 Aired Feb 17, 2026 La Llorona: Rio Grande Where the Rio Grande snakes between borders and generations, the weeping spirit of La Llorona drifts through time, her cries echoing not just from the banks of Mexican rivers, but from the shattered cosmologies of the Aztec world. Details Episode 5 Aired Feb 24, 2026 Dark Watchers: Big Sur Along Big Sur's ridgelines, the Dark Watchers emerge from Indigenous lore and colonial memory, asking whether the shadows we see in the mountains reflect something within us. Details Episode 6 Aired Mar 3, 2026 Boojum: Great Smoky Mountains National Park Where blue mist clings to the Smoky Mountains, the Boojum emerges from displacement and cultural collision-less a monster than a warning echoing through Appalachian lore.
