About

Along the way, he's also heard age-old creepy tales of mythical creatures as told by local residents. In Expedition Mungo he searches for the truth as Mungo turns the tables -- or would that be cameras? -- to become the focused subject of this adventure series. He leads a team of fellow adrenaline-seekers to remote, undiscovered corners of the world. At each stop, Mungo meets with eyewitnesses, searching for clues and evidence in the hope of capturing these myths and legends on camera.
