Given that I have had a reawakening in TV-watching after two years, I still stick to the formula of finding and enjoying documentaries. The new genre of reality-based docudramas such as 'AxMen' or 'Ice Road Truckers' or 'Carrier' really have captured my fervent attention, but that is not truly on point. The point is that the History Channel is arguably the best network on the American market. To correlate the topic, 'MonsterQuest' is a rightly-intriguing new(?) series which chronicles the folklore and mythical surroundings revolving around certain locales where the general consensus agree to have witnessed bizarre scenarios. Recent topics that come to mind are that of 'SkunkApe' in the south east U.S., bigfoot in the northwest, and the Grassman in central US (it could be in the midwest, but I am not too familiar).
I admire the portayal of the similarities, and the multitudinal techniques and experiments trying to verify the existence of these supposed creatures. I have not had such an encounter, but with these experiences dating back more than 100 years, and in some cases, centuries old, it it rather remarkable that the issue has not been resolved as of yet, neither proven or debunked.
It would be a tragic shame, given the current state of times, that we finally conclude the search of the legendary "Sasquatch of the Woods" when we no longer have any forests.
