We're talking Bigfoot, of course, and werewolves, and other man-beast hybrids that for some reason keep being spotted in a region of the United States that's also known - curiously enough - for its moonshine consumption. Calling themselves the Appalachian Investigators of Mysterious Sightings, or A.I.M.S., they scour their namesake mountain range in search of any and all creatures that normal science can't pin down into its taxonomy of animals that actually exist.
