This season of Expedition X promises to be one of the most thrilling yet, as Gates, Torres and Chobot head off to hunt the legendary Beast of Bray Road across rural Wisconsin. Throughout this season, Torres and Chobot will continue to investigate head-on some of the strangest myths and mysteries from around the country, heading off the coast of California to explore the waters surrounding “UFO Island” or chasing down the legend of a seven-foot humanoid creature hiding in Ape Canyon. They’ll even be taking on the spirit world, ghost hunting on an abandoned canal rumored to be haunted by soldiers killed in the Civil War.
Using their expertise, cutting-edge, high-tech equipment and the help of eyewitnesses and experts, the team is confident they can track down the truth and shed new light on the stories that have fascinated people for decades. Gates has some wild adventures all his own up his sleeve as well, showing off Wednesday nights as he attends a race car academy, becomes a Hollywood stunt man for a day and even goes ghost hunting with Jack Osbourne.
