A police dash cam video caught a car chase ending in a shocking disappearance, leaving people perplexed and spawning theories that the speeding car could be an apparition. In Cave Buttes, a UFO hotspot in Arizona, the appearance of a series of jumping lights prompts an investigation into whether the occurrence is genuinely extraterrestrial or if it involves more earthly explanations involving balloons, LED lights or lasers.

In Fresno, the appearance of two creatures on a homeowner's CCTV screen has left him shaken and mystified. The team investigates the possibilities and what seems like a classic hoax only gets more puzzling. While in Lake Havasu, a vacationer's video camera catches a flying saucer floating above the lake and the attention of thousands on the Internet. Ben and the team perform a series of experiments in an attempt to explain the phenomenon.

In Raystown, Pennsylvania a large lake is the scene for a series of sightings and a photo of what looks like Pennsylvania's very own Loch Ness Monster. The team suits up in diving gear to investigate the alleged creature.

Armed with the latest paranormal equipment, the team takes on the claim to see if it is fact or faked.

For the past 50 years Paulding, Michigan has been at center of a controversy involving mysterious light on the horizon. Using everything from a high-powered laser to a light aircraft, the team investigates what has caused thousands of onlookers to ask, "what is that?" While in San Antonio, Texas a lonely railroad crossing serves as the backdrop for a 70-year debate where the road slopes up to the tracks, yet parked cars seem to roll uphill over the tracks. Local legend claims the ghosts of children push the cars, but the team uses science to break the case.

Ben and the team take on two cases that have baffled the paranormal community for years. In Indiana, a ghost hunter inadvertently captured what she thinks is the ghost of a civil war soldier while investigating a desolate abandoned cemetery. Ben and his team use everything at their disposal to eliminate the possibility of a hoax or even a natural phenomenon, but explanations are hard to come by in this case. In Colorado, a series of shocking cattle mutilations have left ranchers in the area speculating that something may be coming from the sky to abduct and experiment on their livestock. The team tackles the case using a series of scientific methods that seek to determine whether there could be a more natural explanation for the case, with surprising results.

After choosing two compelling cases to investigate, Ben, Austin and Chi-Lan travel to Alton, Illinois to test a mysterious cloud of mist that appears in a video taken inside the historic - and reportedly haunted - McPike Mansion. They test several different theories to see if the original video could have a natural explanation or if the mist is actually some kind of ghostly entity.

After a series of inventive experiments the team thinks they found their answer.

After choosing two more intriguing cases to investigate, Bill, Austin and Chi Lan travel to Chopaka Lake, WA, to investigate a compelling video that many claim is solid proof of a Bigfoot in the remote area. With many experts saying that no human could make such a dash across rugged terrain, Austin is put against the clock to put that theory to the test. Later, with Bill overhead in a spotter plane with a thermal imager, Austin and Chi Lan find themselves surrounded by mysterious heat sources. Meanwhile in upstate Washington, Ben, Jael and Larry take on a case that has divided the paranormal community for over ten years - the staggering case of Dr. Reed and the woodland Alien attack.
