The show sees adventurer Josh Gates visit locations around the world rumoured to be the home of mysterious or paranormal creatures.
Among his destinations are Papua New Guinea - where there have been reports of dinosaur-like animals in the skies - and Argentina, allegedly home to a "Wolfman".
In the US, the show is called Destination Truth and has just begun its second season on The Sci-Fi Channel.
Virgin Media Television's head of acquisitions Amy Barham said: "The series will absolutely complement Virgin1's summer schedule with it's unique, gonzo exploration of thrill-seeking Indiana Jones-style adventures, and is a perfect example of intelligent, accessible and thrilling programming which embodies the spirit of the channel."
