Ever wondered what lurks in the shadows of remote islands? Isle Royale National Park, a rugged wilderness in Lake Superior, holds a chilling secret: the Minong Monster.

This episode of What Was That? takes you on a terrifying journey with Mark, Lila, and Jason. Venturing deep into the island's heart, they encounter an unnatural silence, unsettling whispers, and a monstrous footprint.

As darkness falls, the legend comes alive. A foul stench, chilling growls, and scattered bones paint a horrifying picture. Then, hulking figures with glowing red eyes emerge from the shadows, surrounding them.

Will they escape the clutches of the Minong Monster? Tune in to find out, and hear a desperate plea for help at the episode's end.
