Freak Encounters is about unwitting victims that believe they are joining an investigation or research project or signing up for a job, only to come face to face with some of the most fearsome creatures of cryptozoology, such as the Ahool and a wild man. However they are not actual cryptids but people in suits or props. It's similar to the the show Fear Factor.
Description[]
Be careful who you work for. "Freak Encounters" lays that lesson on thick by staging run-ins with unexplained creatures. Ever see the Mothman while working for a highway crew, or how about coming into contact with the Bigfoot-like Genoskwa while filming a wildlife documentary? Each episode highlights one such encounter, with the catch being there is an unwitting participant who was "hired" by these companies just in time to see the freaky beings up close.
