The bayous of Southern Louisiana are home to some of the planet’s most rugged and unforgiving terrain. And hidden deep within these swampy confines lie many of America’s oldest mysteries and bone-chilling legends. With its ancient Indian burial grounds and above ground cemeteries, the area has always teemed with eerie sightings. In recent years however, there has been a dramatic uptick in strange occurrences, many of them attributed to a legendary werewolf-like creature known as the Rougarou.
In History’s newest narrative series, residents of a small bayou town must face their darkest fears when something unknown begins to attack, leading to panic and hysteria. When it’s believed the culprit is possibly the Rougarou, or Bigfoot of the bayou, the townsfolk will use whatever means necessary, including the dark arts, to ward off the evil.
An American folktale comes to life with the story of CRYPTID: THE SWAMP BEAST.
Airs Mondays 10/9C on The History Channel

Teaser clip
I’ve watched the first two episodes of this show and it’s a great show so far, very entertaining. Give it a look see!
I like the show but is it real? So many fake reality shows today it’s hard to tell the real from the scripted.
Sorry to burst your bubble but this series is fake. One look at Tammany and you know she isn’t living down in the bayou swamp. her name is Rachel Whittle.
Of course it’s fake, but that doesn’t make it any less entertaining.
Check out some more cryptids on the new Destination America show MONSTERS UNDERGROUND. The show will premier on Friday August 22nd at 10/9c.
Episodes will feature the Aswang, Mapinguari, Subterralien, Olitiau, and more.
