While many spend their nights in the safety of suburban homes, Josh Gates’ elite investigative team, Phil Torres and Jessica Chobot, have spent the last season of Expedition X staring into the abyss. From haunted factories in the rust belt to the frozen expanses of the Alaskan wilderness, the latest batch of investigations has yielded evidence that has left even the most hardened skeptics questioning the boundary between our world and the next.

The Poltergeist of the Third Floor

In one of the season’s most chilling urban explorations, the team investigated a decaying 100,000-square-foot factory near Niagara Falls. Surveillance footage captured a moment that defies physical explanation: a heavy closet door on the third floor—situated on thick, 1980s-grade carpet—was filmed swinging wide open as if pulled by an invisible hand.

“That’s not just lightly opening on its own,” Torres noted, pointing out the resistance the carpet would provide. The activity escalated when the team introduced a “Spirit Box.” When Chobot asked if the entity was a man named “Joe,” the device clearly barked back, “Me.” The encounter turned aggressive moments later when the box emitted a chilling, direct command: “Leave.”

The Cold Case: The Spirit of “Big Ed”

The investigation took a historical turn when Chobot utilized an EVP (Electronic Voice Phenomenon) app. A voice clearly identified itself as “Ed.”

Post-investigation research revealed a staggering connection: professional baseball star Ed Delahanty died under mysterious circumstances in 1903 after being kicked off a train near Niagara Falls. His body was found at the base of the falls a week later. The team’s capture of a thermal anomaly in the “raceway outfall” near the water suggests that Delahanty’s spirit may still be tethered to the energy of the massive falls.

The Apex Predator of the Alaskan Tundra

Trading ghosts for monsters, the team headed to the deep Alaskan snow, where a thermal drone hunt turned into a high-speed chase. The drone’s sensors locked onto a heat signature “hauling” through the brush at a clocked speed of 15 miles per hour.

While slower than a grizzly bear, the movement was significantly faster than any human could manage in deep snow. Most unsettlingly, when the footage was slowed down, the creature exhibited a bipedal, human-like gait. The pursuit ended abruptly when the drone mysteriously lost signal and crashed, its propellers sheared off by an unseen force. Minutes later, Chobot reported seeing a figure with “jacket and hair” sitting right next to her—only for it to vanish the moment she turned her head.

Physics-Defying Skies

The season culminated at Mount Sorei, where the team deployed a DAP (Data Acquisition Platform) camera to track Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAPs). The footage was nothing short of historic.

As two military jets flew in formation above the mountain, the DAP camera caught a faint white dot performing a “flyby” of the aircraft. Analysis of the pre-dawn footage showed multiple objects exhibiting propulsion capabilities that defy conventional physics, with some seemingly mimicking the flight paths of the known military aircraft nearby.

“I’ve never been that confused by what I saw in the sky,” Torres admitted. As Season 7 concludes, the evidence suggests that whether it is in the closet of a factory or the skies above a mountain, the team is no longer just hunting the unknown—the unknown is starting to hunt back.
