Episode structure

There were three main sections of every episode; first the team would look around the location during the daylight, then set up video cameras and temperature monitors just before dark for later use.

It was left up to the viewer's own decision whether or not the evidence was trustworthy. The soundtrack theme for the show was "Into The Ocean (Calling You)" from the Evermore album ''
