Ep 3. Utah Skinwalker / Ozark Howler

In Haunted Highway season 1 episode 3, the team ventures to the desolate and eerie terrain of Utah and down to the Ozarks, determined to uncover the mystery behind two age-old legends.

The episode kicks off with the introduction of the Skinwalker, a Native American shape-shifting demon that is said to haunt the deserts of Utah. Locals have reported seeing the Skinwalker, a creature that can take on the form of any animal and cause chaos and destruction. Described as being nine feet tall with red glowing eyes, the legend of the Skinwalker is one that has been passed down for generations.

The team meets up with an expert, who takes them to investigate the area where the Skinwalker has been sighted. The team sets up camp in the remote desert, and as the sun sets, they begin their investigation. Armed with night vision cameras and thermal imaging devices, they head out into the wilderness, on the hunt for any signs of the Skinwalker.

Their investigation quickly becomes unnerving as strange noises and voices begin to echo throughout the darkness. The team captures some eerie footage, including thermal images depicting what appears to be a human-sized figure lurking in the shadows. They also capture strange anomalous sounds that are unable to be explained.

The team discovers that the Skinwalker legend has a real-life connection to the Ute tribe of the area. They interview a tribal member who has had both personal experiences and knowledge of the Skinwalker. The tribe member recounts stories of their ancestors and warns the team that they should not be trifled with.

Undeterred, the team continues their investigation, moving deeper into the heart of the desert. As the night progresses, their investigation turns into a harrowing experience as they continue to hear unexplained noises and encounter strange occurrences.

The second part of the episode focusses on the Ozark Howler, a creature that is said to roam the forests of Arkansas and Missouri. The creature is described as being similar to a large cat or bear, with red eyes and a scream that sounds like a mix between a wolf and a banshee.

The team arrives in the Ozarks to investigate the legend, interviewing locals who claim to have seen the creature in the woods. The team sets up base camp in one of the densest parts of the forest and begins their investigation.

As they venture deeper into the woods, they come across strange footprints and claw marks that they cannot identify. The team is armed with firearms and other weapons as they explore the forest, believing that the creature they are searching for could be dangerous.

As the night progresses, the team begins to hear strange noises that sound like a mix between a wolf howl and the screech of a banshee. The team also captures footage of something moving in the shadows, and they notice that the forest grows quieter when the creature is around.

The investigation leads the team to a local who claims to have seen the creature up close. The local tells a story of encountering the Ozark Howler while hunting in the woods. The creature, the local says, towers over eight feet tall and let out a scream that was so powerful it nearly deafened him.

The team explores the area where the local saw the creature and captures some of the most compelling footage of their entire investigation. The episode culminates in a nerve-wracking encounter between the team and what they believe to be the Ozark Howler.

Overall, Haunted Highway season 1 episode 3 is a thrilling investigation into two age-old legends that have terrified locals for generations. The team provides a compelling and nerve-wracking investigation, capturing truly eerie footage and interviews with locals that add depth and intrigue to the stories. Viewers will be on the edge of their seats as the team explores the desolate desert terrain of Utah and the dense forests of the Ozarks, seeking out two of America's most elusive and terrifying creatures.
