No new MQ's for the next few weeks...

But the Predator X episode will be rebroadcast next Wednesday night at 8:00 EST/7:00 Central.

Review: Monsterquest 3-25-09

This pretty good episode focuses on Sasquatch or Bigfoot, and people are reporting encounters, close ones, with unknown creatures. The earliest known report is from 1883 from Ontario, Canada where an 8-foot high creature attacked two men. Loren Coleman is profiled and discusses an aggressive Sasquatch or Bigfoot. The Albert Ostman story is once again recounted by Coleman (it was recounted originally on the First-Season Sasquatch Attack episode). The next state is Minnesota, where a young lady claims to have hit something, a possible Sasquatch. She said it was 7 feet tall, looked like a cross between a bear and a man, and her boyfriend and a friend also witnessed the wreck and were convinced it was not a bear. They chased the animal into the woods with rifles. A bear research biologist believes the wreck is of a bear, but the witnesses are not so sure. The MQ crew is of course sent to investigate it. A Bob Olson, a Bigfoot researcher/investigator, examine the van that hit the whatever it was. They find what appears to be hair which will be sent for testing. Olson, Bob Sherman and a tracker go to see if they can find perhaps the corpse of the creature that was hit. Terry Reams' sighting is profiled next, from Washington State. His sighting is, to this author, quite compelling. It turns out that Reams and his family were not the only ones to see it-12 others, including four police officers, have also seen it. The team in Minnesota is still searching for the possible corpse of the alleged creature. The researchers cut off a section of tree with a bullet lodged in it to see about gathering clues from it. The team has a dog with them to search. Unfortunately, the trail runs cold, and no corpse is found. Meanwhile, the science team is starting its tests on the tree limbs. A Jay Epping, veterenarian, examines the tree limbs. He does detect a bullet inside the limb. The log will be sent to a DNA lab. Dr. Bruce McCord of Florida International University is commissioned to do the forensic study on the bullet and the tree. The bullet is extracted, now the DNA results will be tallied. From Michigan, in 1965, a young lady was attacked by a Sasquatch which blackened her eye. In Bishopville, South Carolina, a year ago, a van was chewed up by something, and the van was covered in blood. This case was speculated to have been done by Lizard Man, and Lisdon Truesdale, the retired sheriff of Lee County, is also interviewed on his impressions. Loren Coleman thinks the Lizard Man is actually a Sasquatch (side note: author D.L. Tanner believes it is a Skunk Ape). The results of that DNA testing turned out to be from a dog. An auto engineer and a wildlife biologist are going to test the van again to see if they can get perhaps a different result. They are constructing a reconstruction of a jaw just to see how it matches up with the bite marks on the van. Witness David Griffin of Indiana had a sighting in 1972 which he has never forgotten. He says this thing was headed towards him, but did not attack him. He kept that story quiet for many years. Another young man in Indiana, Aaron Wheeler, says he also was attacked by something he could not explain. Both of these witnesses are subjected to a polygraph test to determine their truthfulness (or lack thereof). More testing is done, more witnesses interviewed, and the results are...well, I won't reveal too much more. Next week focuses on Ogopogo, in an episode titled Lake Demon, beginning at 9:00 EST/8:00 Central on History. Check local listings for time and channel. However, this Sunday, there is a special of interest called Predator X, about a giant dinosaur said to make the Tyrranosaurus Rex look like a guppy. That begins at 8:00 EST/7:00 Central on History. again check local listings for time and channel.

Monsterquest Tomorrow...

The most compelling evidence for the creature known as Bigfoot may be the increasing close encounters that are frightening witnesses in rural America. Historic stories have told of violent interactions that range from objects being thrown to frightening abductions by hairy beasts. As extraordinary as these stories sound, people continue to recount physical interactions with creatures that they cannot explain. Witnesses from Minnesota and Washington State have all had frightening run-ins with the monsters while driving; another witness in rural Indiana talks with terror of the night that he was grabbed by something very powerful out in a forest. MonsterQuest will investigate whether witness are seeing known animal or the same Bigfoot creature that has been spoken of throughout history. MonsterQuest employs polygraph examinations, DNA analysis and bite force tests to discover what monster is turning up its aggression.

Monsterquest: China's WIldman

Review: Monsterquest 3-18-09

This was kind of a boring episode despite the premise of it, being that it was searching for a giant, perhaps 60-70-foot long Great White Shark, with much the same folks who also searched for the Giant Squid on two previous episodes from Seasons 1 and 2, and there were eyewitness accounts given regarding seeing what is called a "Black Demon" in the sea off the Baja Peninsula in Mexico, a large shark which may live in the Mariana Trench. There was some efforts made to attempt to see it and perhaps film it, but nothing successful. They even searched from the air and got no results. Still, I would give it about a 3 out of 5 stars. Not necessarily one of the better MQ episodes, but not the worst either. Next week, Hairy Hominids come into play once again, with an episode examining Bigfoot encounters in Indiana, Washington State and Minnesota, titled Monster Close Encounters, beginning at 9:00 EST/8:00 Central on History.

MonsterQuest : Mega Jaws Airs on Wednesday March 18 09:00 PM EST/8:00 Central

Sharks have terrified people for centuries and deep within the forbidding waters of Mexico's Baja Peninsula may lurk a mammoth sixty foot monster. Could it be a new giant species or some living relic, hidden in the sea? In prehistoric times, huge carnivorous sharks, more than twice the size of a great white, ruled the waves. Marine experts claim these giants went extinct, but evidence may challenge that. Meanwhile, frightened Mexican fisherman talk of being stalked by a "Black Demon"; and sailors report close collisions with a shark unlike anything that they have encountered before. In a search for answers, MonsterQuest uses a combined air and sea search for this monster shark that may be prowling the last unexplored frontier of our planet.

Review: Monsterquest 3-11-09

On this episode, the areas around Pikes' Peak, Colorado are being searched for a predator which kills elk. Several witnesses are interviewed as to their sightings and footprint finds. The creature is said to have a bellowing cry. Kathy Lell, a historian, has been researching stories of a manlike beast for over 35 years, and a story from 1881 is recreated of a sighting of a Bigfoot-type creature. Two miners were involved, but only one of them actually saw it, and it is described as a cross between human and gorilla. A biologist named Bill Heicher is skeptical, and thinks that the lack of physical evidence is proof to him that there is nothing to the sightings. A fellow named Keith Foster is profiled, and has been researching it for over 15 years. He has catalogued over 100 sightings. A series of photos of tracks from 10,000-11,000 feet is shown which seem to be tracks of the Snowbeast. An expedition is mounted up to find the beast, being done by helicopter. Paul Drexler is using the latest in thermal technology to attempt to photograph a Snowbeast from the air. The camera he has is heat recognizing. The chopper they use is especially designed for this type of terrain in the high mountain peaks. Some nasty weather seems to be moving in, so the chopper crew must hurry. The temperature is getting noticeably colder as they fly. They believe they may have something before the first commercial break. Witness Jeff Dysinger, a professional guide, had a face to face sighting in 1999 with a hairy hominid. Foster believes it is not a coincidence that Dysinger's sighting was near elk; he believes that they prey on elk as a predator. He believes they migrate with the elk populations. A G.I.S. expert works with Foster on the migration patterns, a Chris Markuson. Bill Given, a WIldlife Biologist, says it is even difficult to track known animals successfully, much less unknown animals. Their findings so far is that the creatures frequent the higher elevations, the mountainous wilderness regions. These sightings occur between October and April, which would seem to rule out bears since that is their hibernation season. The winter sightings range from 7,300-9,000 feet, while during the summer, they are 1,000 feet higher. A team on horseback sets out to search valleys as well. A military-trained tracker with over 30 years experience is leading the ground team. Signs of activity which are old are found by the ground team, evidence mainly of elk. They find a cave which seems to be occupied by a predator, most likely a cougar given how narrow the cave is. The cave is actually an old mine, which the ground team is a bit hesitant to investigate the mine due to not knowing what might be in there and also fear of cave-ins. They do, however, put a camera close to the mine entrance to see what, if anything, is coming in or out of the cave. Getting back to the air search, a line of tracks is filmed from the air, but it is hard to tell from the air what the tracks are made by. The track-maker is revealed to be a coyote. The air team lands, but is encouraged that the area is ideal. Bill Brice, an area fisherman, took photographs at the Eagle River of tracks in 2000. Heicher is intrigued by the photos, and does not think they are bear, human or hoax. An Eagle County deputy is also intrigued by the photos, and his resources believe the track-maker to weigh between 400-700 pounds. Ecologist Jim Halfpenny of the Track Education Center is called upon to use his expertise to attempt to explain the photos. He is also intrigued by the photos, and believes they are one of two things-a hoax or true-bill. Heicher is conducting an interesting experiment to indicate whether or not the footprints photographed are real or fake. They are also conducting an experiment to see if changes in weather patterns could possibly affect more mundane tracks and form them into large humanlike tracks. Another witness who has had two encounters, Dan Trujillo, is interviewed and says he heard rocks clacking high up in the Rockies, and heard some sort of yell. Dan and his father saw a large hairy biped walk away from them, frightening their dog. More exploration is done, experiments are conducted, and the results are...well, I won't give too much away. I have to say, this was a rather intriguing episode. I would give it a 4 out of 5 stars.

MonsterQuest : Snowbeast Slaughter Airs on Wednesday March 11 09:00 PM EST/8:00 Central

High in the rugged wilderness of Colorado's Rocky Mountains a large hairy creature is said to be preying on the elk and frightening residents. The stories date back centuries with the earliest settlers describing terrifying encounters with a large beast whose scream bellows across the hills. Even today ranchers and hikers report a monster they can't explain that may be attacking their horses. MonsterQuest will sift through the evidence and determine what may be killing the elk. The aerial search ascends to 11,000 ft in search of fresh evidence that could lead to the creature; as the ground team scales the side of Pikes Peak to hunt for the legendary Snowbeast.

MQ Schedule from March 11-Early-April

SNOWBEAST SLAUGHTER: High in the rugged wilderness of Colorado’s Rocky Mountains a large hairy creature is said to be preying on the elk and frightening residents. The stories date back centuries with the earliest settlers describing terrifying encounters with a large beast whose scream bellows across the hills. Even today ranchers and hikers report a monster they can’t explain that may be attacking their horses. MonsterQuest will sift through the evidence and determine what may be killing the elk. The aerial search ascends to 11,000 ft in search of fresh evidence that could lead to the creature; as the ground team scales the side of Pikes Peak to hunt for the legendary Snowbeast.

MEGA JAWS: Sharks have terrified people for centuries and deep within the forbidding waters of Mexico’s Baja Peninsula may lurk a mammoth sixty foot monster. Could it be a new giant species or some living relic, hidden in the sea? In prehistoric times, huge carnivorous sharks, more than twice the size of a great white, ruled the waves. Marine experts claim these giants went extinct, but evidence may challenge that. Meanwhile, frightened Mexican fisherman talk of being stalked by a ‘Black Demon’; and sailors report close collisions with a shark unlike anything that they have encountered before. In a search for answers, MonsterQuest uses a combined air and sea search for this monster shark that may be prowling the last unexplored frontier of our planet.

MONSTER CLOSE ENCOUNTERS: The most compelling evidence for the creature known as Bigfoot may be the increasing close encounters that are frightening witnesses in rural America. Historic stories have told of violent interactions that range from objects being thrown to frightening abductions by hairy beasts. As extraordinary as these stories sound, people continue to recount physical interactions with creatures that they cannot explain. Witnesses from Minnesota and Washington State have all had frightening run-ins with the monsters while driving; another witness in rural Indiana talks with terror of the night that he was grabbed by something very powerful out in a forest. MonsterQuest will investigate whether witness are seeing known animal or the same Bigfoot creature that has been spoken of throughout history. MonsterQuest employs polygraph examinations, DNA analysis and bite force tests to discover what monster is turning up its aggression.



LAKE DEMON: Beneath the cold, isolated waters of north western Canada a fifty foot swimming monster is said to lurk. The stories from North West Canada’s Lake Okanagan date back to the earliest First Nation peoples, who lived in fear of this terrifying creature of the lake that became known as ‘Ogopogo’. According to accounts of this ominous creature, it has a large snake like body, large eyes and can move at high speeds. Sightings of this lake creature are so common that it has been seen more times than Scotland’s Loch Ness Monster, making Ogopogo the world’s most documented lake creature. With new, recent photographic evidence and an array of high technology, MonsterQuest will launch one of the first major expeditions to this lake. A helicopter outfitted with a thermal camera will scan the lake for signs of the creature while a dive team stands ready to jump into the hazardous waters, ready to capture the necessary evidence.



SEA MONSTERS: Mariners have long told stories of frightening beasts that stalk the coasts of Florida, but what if new video could prove that old sailors were seeing real sea monsters? A forked tail, ferocious teeth and a large body were all characteristics of the historic sea monsters, seen by schooners packed with scared passengers. Now, one Florida man says that not only has he witnessed these creatures on countless occasions, but he also has hours of video proof. Experts are divided over the controversial evidence that shows tantalising glimpses of these strange sea creatures. One marine biologist claims it is a disfigured known species, another expert says it is a seal thought long extinct, and still others maintain that it is something altogether unheard of. Whatever monster lurks here, close to innocent vacationers, MonsterQuest will investigate. Using state of the art sonar technology, a dive team will penetrate the murky waters while marine experts and forensic artists attempt to identify this sea monster caught on tape.
