FIRST INVESTIGATION: "Chullachaqui"The Destination Truth team will met Robb Demarest and Dustin Pari, from Ghost Hunters International, in Peru to join them in this investigation. Josh joined them on a ghost hunt inside Frankenstein's castle. It will be interesting to see them hunting for an elusive creature in the creepy forest instead of ghosts in old castles and inns. This creature, Chullachaqui, is demonic and looks like a gremlin and is found deep in the jungles of Peru. There have been many recent sightings in the rainforest near the Madre De Dios River, with many local tribesmen in fear of coming face to face with the Chullachaqui. This creature seems to be different from any other creature that lives in the forest. Usually there is a strange whistling sound right before it is seen in the thick Peruvian jungles. It is very fast, between 3 and 4 feet tall, has sharp fang teeth, pointy ears, and fur, with a three-toed footprint and is a night-dweller.
They headed south from Los Angeles on a 10 hour flight to Lima, Peru and hopped a flight to the ancient city of Cuzco, Peru. Then they flew down to the mountains to the town of Puerto Maldonado, Peru where it was very hot and humid. They met up with Robb and Dustin from GHI where they pack inside and on top of a special DT limo to the town market for some special Peruvian delicacies. After drinking a warm fruit juice and stocking up on toilet paper, they headed out of the market and on to meet a local expert. They met up with Julio Gomes, a professor at the University of Cuzco, who has been tracking the current reports of the Chullachaqui. He tells them that just last week the creature attacked an Indian tribe deep in the jungle. To find these tribes, they would have to take a long boat ride up the Madre De Dios River. It was important for the DT team to find the tribe and explain why there are there. They head off to a nearby port and hop on a small boat to take them up river. They would travel about 60 miles up the river to find the Indigenous Tribes who have had run ins with the tiny beast. They finally arrive at the village having to cross some long narrow wood bridges to find the tribesman they needed talk to. They met with the village elder Enrique, who tells them that many in the tribe have encountered the creature and he had a friend that died from his encounter by being hit hard. You have to hit it first or it will kill you. Robb asked if someone wanted to find one of these, what they would have to do. He showed them where they had to travel in order to find a village where just the previous week a Chullachaqui was spotted. After getting a quick lesson on how to defend themselves from the creature, they traveled another 20 miles to get to the next remote village. They met up with the Ese-jas Tribe village shaman, Honorato, who shows them where the creature was seen and points out about how tall it was. He also tells them that if they go far into the jungle, they will run into a Chullachaqui. They made their way deep into the jungle in the direction the shaman pointed. For Robb and Dustin it is a very different situation than they are used to but looking forward to the investigation.
INVESTIGATION: After setting up base camp and the perimeter cameras and video equipment, Rex tells them of the dangers and what animals to watch out for. Robb, Dustin and Josh head out to survey the perimeter and hear something moving around in the dark. Back a base camp; they are also hearing loud noises. Robb, Dustin and Josh are hearing a sound like something was walking up the path behind them. They head back to base camp where they explain what they heard. They felt like whatever it was a trying to lure them deep into the jungle. Then they all heard loud crackling noises and a growl in the jungle near base camp. Josh, Dustin and Mike chase after it using the parabolic dish in hopes of capturing the noise again. Robb and Jael head off in another direction. Robb sees eyes watching them like it were trying to get them to follow. They hear a whistling sound, while Mike picks up the same sound in the dish. Robb and Jael head back to base camp and hear a loud noise as well as everyone else from the team. Robb felt this thing, whatever it was, showed some intelligence and was keeping pace with them instead of running from them. This isn’t like anything he has experienced in ghost hunting. Josh wants to keep things going so he sent Jael and Dustin out to check on the trap cameras where Robb saw the eyes watching them. Robb, Josh and Mike followed the unexplained whistling which leads them to the water. They took a boat further downstream to see if the whistling could be heard there as well. Meanwhile, Jael and Dustin arrive at the trap camera where she noticed that seven pictures where snapped off since they left the area. After not hearing any noises on the water, the boys decided to head back to shore. Before getting there, they noticed a pair of eyes and Josh goes over to investigate. He finds himself in quicksand where Robb and Mike pull him out. After that close encounter with quicksand, Josh noticed strange footprints on the shore and they take castings of them. As they got closer to base camp, they noticed what appeared to be teeth lying in the path. After a long night and little sleep, they headed back to Los Angeles where Josh brings his evidence to Mike Dee for analysis. The images on the trapped camera were blurred by whatever raced by them; the casting looked like they could be from a member of the wild hog family; and the teeth looked like they came from a wild bore. Is the Chullachaqui nothing more than a wild pig or some other creature yet to be identified?
SECOND IN
VESTIGATION: Bermuda Triangle, Atlantic OceanThe DT team plan to chart a direct course through the Bermuda Triangle (a three hour tour).“The Bermuda Triangle, also known as the Devil's Triangle, is a region in the western part of the North Atlantic Ocean in which a number of aircraft and surface vessels are alleged to have mysteriously disappeared and cannot be explained as human error, piracy, equipment failure, or natural disasters. Popular culture has attributed some of these disappearances to the paranormal, a suspension of the laws of physics, or activity by extraterrestrial beings.”
For several years the Bermuda Triangle was quiet until just recently. A twin engine plane carrying twelve passengers to the Bahamas just vanished in mid-flight north of the region. With no communication from the pilot and no wreckage found so far means that the Bermuda Triangle mystery is back. Believers in its phenomena say that the whole area is paranormally charged, a vortex of energy beyond any scientific explanation. However skeptics point out that there is very little data on that area proving this to be an allegation of the truth and makes it hard to be proven because most of the witnesses that have been through the triangle, have disappeared.
They flew to Fort Lauderdale, Florida then hopped on a flight to Andros Island in the Bahamas. The triangle covers over half a million square miles of ocean. The flight to the island was a bit rocky at best. After tasting some Bahamian viagra they headed off to talk to a local who has a tragic experience of the triangles furry. Rene Smith Robins' brother went out on a plane and never came home. They found the plane about 7 miles north of her home and it looked like someone landed it safely. It looked untouched, with the doors opened and no life vest were found. No signs of any of the passengers to this day. This is a familiar story heard over and over in that area. Josh and a couple of the DT team take a plane over the region where many other planes and vessel have disappeared. He would take a direct course and the ground team would map out his progress from base camp. He would use an EMF device and a Magnetometer and keep a close eye on the planes navigational equipment to tag an anomies events on to a GPS locator so they can track them once back on the ground. As they were approaching the Bahamas from the south they got huge spikes on the devices and the plane's equipment was going haywire. Base camp lost contact for a time while Josh was experiences weird weather and the instruments in the planes malfunctioning during that time. They land in the Island of South Bimini where the others meet up with them. This island is where many vessels have disappeared off its coast and where there are high magnetic readings all around it. Josh tagged three distinct locations around the island where he and his team will investigate. After meeting up with the other team members, they headed out to North Bimini where Josh has a chat with a 51 year resident, Bone Fish Ebbie. He tells Josh that one time while out on his boat, he got lost and his compass was just spinning around. Josh asked him about the first area he tagged on his flight and Ebbie told him that on Spook Hill there is lots of crazy energy there. They check out Spook Hill using different EMF meters and didn't register anything. Mike did get a weird feeling there. After not getting anything there, they headed out to the second location which was under water. Before heading out to that location Josh talked with local boat captain who had his own scary experience with the triangle. He tells him that one time while out all of his instruments and engines just shut off for about two and a half hours, and then everything came back on. Then they hired a boat to take them to the location with a captain who sounded a lot like Louis Armstrong. They came upon the wreckage of an old plane which was near the area of the second location. They dive into the waters and came upon the wreckage of the USS Cyclops where in 1945 the squadron of flight 19 was using the wrecked ship for bombing practice and all five of the planes disappeared over that very area. They were never heard from again. With no good readings they headed out to the third location in south Bimini. Josh talks with local, Ashley Saunders about his experience where he and his crew got lost for several hours on the ocean. South Bimini is virtually uninhabited and where many locals and tourist try to avoid. With the sun setting, they drive to the area and set up base camp. After setting up all the cameras and other equipment; Josh and a couple of his team head out in a boat. Sitting on top of the area he tagged, he started experiencing all of their gear crapping out. Back at base camp they experience a strange light anomaly moving across the screen on camera 4. Bicha and Gabe leave base to check out camera 4 to see if they can figure out what the strange light was. Meanwhile, Josh and gang were trapped on the boat having problems getting the engine started and started drifting away from the island. Bicha reaches the camera and moves it to see if the crazy lights disappear and it does. He puts the camera back where it was and the lights returns. He and Gabe head back to base camp and get lost in the thick jungle foliage. Finally Josh gets the motor going and they head back to base camp. After getting back to base camp, Josh along with others, set out to look for Bicha and Gabe. After looking for them for some time, Bicha sees Josh's light and they are finally found. Josh did try to recreate the light in the camera by using his flashlight but got no results. The evidence they had was not conclusive but their experience they had was far from normal. Bimini Island and its surrounding area have definitely some sort of mysterious anomaly happening there.
