History Channel’s Beyond Skinwalker Ranch sets off for new—but equally enigmatic—territory this Tuesday with the Season 3 premiere, Mountain of Mystery. Airing at 9:30 PM ET, the episode swaps Utah’s infamous ranch for the storied slopes of Mt. Shasta in Northern California, a site long associated with strange occurrences and unexplained phenomena.
Andy and Paul take point on the expedition to Mt. Shasta, a location Brandon Fugal calls a “well-known energy hotspot.” This is no mere ghost-hunting trip. Beyond Skinwalker Ranch has always presented itself as an attempt to approach the paranormal through a scientific lens. This week, the team brings its cutting-edge tech and analytical rigor to a site where, as the title suggests, folklore and hard data seem to converge.
The new season expands the series’ central question—whether the strange happenings at Skinwalker Ranch are unique or part of a larger pattern. By investigating analogous sites across the country, Dr. Travis Taylor and his team try to map the contours of a much bigger mystery. Mt. Shasta, steeped in its own lore and shrouded in an atmosphere of otherworldly energy, is just the first stop on that expanded itinerary.
Beyond Skinwalker Ranch airs Tuesdays at 9:31 PM ET on History.
