Real monsters are behind our greatest legends. This episode takes us into the belly of the beast to find the surprising truths behind history's most mythic cannibals and killers. Does a banshee born during the Revolutionary War still curse the North Carolina woods? Plus, a medieval clan of cannibals out for blood in 16th century Scotland, and did a fairy tale villain named Bluebeard inspire a notorious Chicago World's Fair serial killer? And, could real zombies walk among us, created by a potion from puffer fish?

Real monsters are behind our greatest legends. The gates of Hell are unlocked to reveal the surprising truths and devilish secrets of Satan, demons, and other powerful rulers of the Underworld. In the 17th century, a beastly devil is born deep in the woods of New Jersey and is said to still wreak havoc in a place called the Pine Barrens. Plus, from evil Jinn, whose power a nuclear physicist tried to tap, to a Christmas devil that takes naughty kids to Hell, to a two-faced female demon named Hel who presided over the dead in the icy North, there's a lot to learn about our devils and the history that inspired them.

Take a journey to the Far East, to the remote Chinese province of Hubai to discover what locals have dubbed the "Wild-Man.

If there is one place on earth that could be home to a prehistoric flying monster, it is Papua New Guinea. These islands to the north of Australia are the closest thing to a real "lost world.

Monsters lurk in our lakes and rivers and along our coastlines, waiting to get their jaws into their next victim.

A remote island off the coast of Australia was once home to a real monster with vampire-like tendencies--The Tasmanian Tiger.

In the jungles of central Africa there may be a living relic of a dinosaur that stalks the rivers and frightens the local inhabitants. The feared creature, known as Mok l Mb mb , or "the one who stops the flow of rivers," is said to closely resemble the enormous long-necked and four-legged saurpod - a dinosaur that science claims went extinct 65 million years ago. However, for more than two hundred years, explorers, missionaries, and natives have reported sightings of a strikingly similar monster. Tracks found by a recent American expedition may yet be proof of this elusive monster. MonsterQuest analyzes the evidence and travels deep into the dangerous wilds of Cameroon, Africa, to mount a search for what may be the last dinosaur.

Travel to the interior of Sumatra, in Indonesia, in a search for what locals call the Orang Pendak, translated as: Man of the Woods. In 2004, skeletal remains were found on the neighboring island of Flores and named "the Real Hobbit." Could Orang Pendak, with its human face, be a surviving ancestor to the Flores Man? An expedition is launched deep within the rainforest. The natives claim to see the creature often, and they even find footprints of an unknown upright walking beast. Will camera traps reveal its identity? One-part history, one-part science, and one-part monster, discover the truth behind legendary monsters.
