Exploring the ‘Haunted’ Premiere of Destination Truth Season 3 by Nadya Vlassoff
After
two seasons of traveling the world and exploring
supernatural oddities, host Josh Gates and his
Destination Truth crew continue their quest to
uncover the reality behind more unexplained mysteries.
In the September 9 SyFy premiere of Destination
Truth called "Haunted Forest/Alux", Gates and
company begin their explorations in the Hoia Baciu
Forest in rural Romania since there have been
a slew of mysterious paranormal sightings by villagers
for over five decades, with some claiming to have
seen everything from ghostly apparitions to a
photograph of something that looks like a flying
saucer.
As in previous seasons of Destination Truth, the crew sets out ready to take on another challenge. However, the biggest obstacle is the trip to actually get there, as Josh and his Destination Truth crew first need to contend with a rickety plane that appears to be on its last wings and falling apart (and it actually does in mid-air when part of the roof rips off mid-flight) before a lengthy trip on ATVs through the forest to get to the specified location. Once there the crew breaks off into pairs before nightfall in order to set a camera perimeter where they’ll monitor movement and wait for signs of paranormal activity.
The expedition is ripe with the appearance of strange lights on night vision and bizarre images that turn up on infrared scanners. All of that and a shocking airborne launch of one of the crewmembers into midair with no one else around and you have a regular outing with Josh and another unexplained phenomenon that the locals can only reply with the warning of, "Don’t go in there", in reference to anyone bold enough to venture into the Hoia Baciu forest.
Next,
the Destination Truth explorers head to Yucatan,
Mexico where they hunt for the Alux, a creature
that resembles big foot but much smaller, and
supposedly only about four feet in height. Delving
deeper into the mystery, Josh speaks with a
couple that alleges they lost their young son
and believe the Alux took him a year earlier.
Deep into the forest they venture as Josh and
crewmember Jael go cave diving only to discover
human remains that would could only have been
left in the underwater cave over thousands of
years ago in order to have been in that remote
of a location.
In order to make contact with the Alux, the
Destination Truth team meets up with a Shaman
who conducts a spiritual ceremony to safeguard
Josh and company from potential harm from a
mystery that dates as far back as the Mayan
civilization. Giant spiders, poisonous snakes
and hidden caves are all in store for the crew
as they navigate the treacherous terrain before
they stumble upon bones in a cave near a dilapidated
Mayan temple and collect samples for evidence
and possible DNA testing.
Overall, Destination Truth continues in the
same captivating format as previous seasons,
as Josh Gates and his band of brave explorers
dig deeper into the myths and legends surrounding
local cultures. Are any of the legendary creatures
or supernatural entities real? That would be
up to you and your own individual analysis as
Josh Gates seeks to find evidence to support
the certainty of the mysterious and unexplained,
which definitely gives Destination Truth fans
something to look forward to as Season 3 kicks
off with a cool haunted forest, Bigfoot type
cave banger!

Subject: Josh Gates Bio
The recent episode in Romania prompts me to inquire if Josh has had any military experience. His reaction to loosing the canopy on the AN2 Colt was very controled. That is not something a lot of civilian or for that matter many military have mastered. What is Josh's background or Bio that he brings to the program.
