Monsters and Mysteries in America

I caught a couple of episodes last night and I was impressed. The eyewitnesses appear credible and the stories of bizarre creatures are captivating. Many people will dismiss this show as nonsense - but if you have an open mind and an interest in the unknown I would definitely give it a watch or two. It really makes you want to take a hike into the wilderness to see what is out there for yourself. Being born and raised in NYC I have not had the chance to see many things out of the ordinary (not counting people on the subway of course). But apparently there are genuine stories from people that have clearly seen something with no explanation. I hope this show and others like it inspire the scientific community to take a closer look at things they might deem "pseudo-science." I would find it ridiculous to discount so many eyewitnesses from so many different locations across the country.

Started watching on cable a series called "Monsters and Mysteries in America" and it's interesting and liked by me for one that I'm a Bigfoot believer and I always like to hear about folklore and the myth and legends of culture regional creature sightings. And shown thru interviews of actual eyewitness accounts the footage shows sketches and actual reacted sightings of the creature while telling the story with mentioned history from the region. And these stories take place all over the United States, and it's just not about Bigfoot and the Loch Ness Monster, it's stories include reports of werewolves, aliens, beast like creatures and even tales of things like a sheep monster and flying demons and winged Bigfoot creatures! And regional legends like The Florida Skunk Ape and South Carolina's Lizard Man are profiled. Overall interesting series that's informative, interesting, and a little scary it's a great paranormal and creature history treat to watch!

The show has promise with its interesting stories, However many of the creature witnesses and alien / UFO witnesses. Etc...just seem incredible to me. You can tell the difference when someone is retelling actual events and trying to think of specifics on the spot. Some witnesses are believable but they get lost in the myriad of fraudsters. Definitely could be a 7 but they got some work to do, so a 5 it is.

This show is just one big elaborate series of 'Scary Campfire Stories'. The re-enactments are one thing but I wonder how much the 'actual' eyewitness were paid to tell their camp-fire big-fish tales with a straight face. It can be entertaining for a while then I just want to change the channel or turn off the tv. But hay, there's a lot of people who live for this type of show.

I love watching this show seeing how funny these eyewitnesses make of themselves. Pretty good speeches they make and incredible storylines. Gotta be one of the most staged shows of all time. But I'll still watch them cuz of how stupid these people are. Lol.
