'Mountain Monsters' Get Personal Against Cherokee Death Cat



Season Two of Mountain Monsters continues Friday, June 6, on Destination America when the AIMS team (Appalachian Investigators of Mysterious Sightings) head to North Carolina on a hunt for the Cherokee Death Cat.

Oh, you don't know about the CDC? Apparently the brutal, farm-animal killing creature was borne from an old Cherokee Indian legend that says it was emerged from the Trail of Tears to exact revenge.

And AIMS has a personal connection with the best because team member Buck has Cherokee blood. According to Destination America, "after meeting with a series of eyewitnesses, the crew races to unravel the myth surrounding the Death Cat by constructing an elaborate trap with a retractable ceiling and setting a trail camera to prove once and for all the existence of this predator hell-bent on revenge."

What's more, a farmer apparently has photo evidence of the monster. Check out the clip and tell us what you think. Is it a mountain lion, a cougar, a jaguar... or a Cherokee Death Cat?
