Check your local listings, but it looks like the next few days are jam-packed with new programs and recent repeats:

MonsterQuest : Gigantic Killer Fish II
Airs on Wednesday May 06 09:00 PM
Airs on Thursday May 07 01:00 AM
Monsters lurk in our lakes and rivers and along our coastlines, waiting to get their jaws into their next victim. The Goliath Grouper is a monster fish that inhabits the tropical shallow waters of Florida and the Caribbean. In 1895, the New York Times reported on a monster grouper that measured in at over 1,500 pounds. This super-sized fish is making a comeback, growing to immense proportions with the aggression to match. A recent victim was attacked while spear fishing and describes having the Goliath grouper wrap its vicious jaws around his head. Meanwhile, in Minnesota, a resurgence of a monster no less aggressive is on the rise: the Muskie. Also known as the muskellunge, this monster fish has frightening teeth that draw blood from a growing list of victims. Now, our team launches expeditions beneath the waters of Florida and sends ROVs under the ice of Minnesota to find out how large and how aggressive these creatures can get.

MonsterQuest : Lake Demons
Airs on Wednesday May 06 11:00 PM
Airs on Thursday May 07 03:00 AM
A fifty-foot monster is said to lurk beneath the cold, isolated waters of North America. The stories from Lake Okanagan date back to the earliest First Nation peoples, who lived in fear of this terrifying creature in the lake that became known as “Ogopogo.” According to eyewitness accounts, this ominous creature 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, photographic evidence and an array of high-tech technology, MonsterQuest launches expeditions to this lake.

MonsterQuest : Legend of the Hairy Beast
Airs on Sunday May 10 12:00 PM
Native American history is full of “Hairy Man” stories and cave art that date back over a thousand years. Did Native Americans know the truth behind the Bigfoot legend? An expedition along the Klamath River into reservation land will use state of the art technology to search for something locals don’t doubt is real. With unprecedented access to Native American stories and recent sightings, MonsterQuest examines this creature that is both feared and revered.

MonsterQuest : The Real Hobbit
Airs on Sunday May 10 01:00 PM
Travel to the interior of Sumatra, in Indonesia, in a search for what locals call the Orang Pendak, translated as: Man of the Woods. In 2004 skeletal remains were found on the neighboring island of Flores and named “the Real Hobbit.” Could Orang Pendak, with its human face, be a surviving ancestor to the Flores Man? An expedition is launched deep within the rainforest. The natives claim to see the creature often, and they even find footprints of an unknown upright walking beast. Will camera traps reveal its identity? One-part history, one-part science and one part monster, discover the truth behind legendary monsters.

MonsterQuest : Giant Killer Snakes
Airs on Sunday May 10 02:00 PM
Head deep into the Venezuela wilderness where there have been sightings of huge man-eating snakes–anaconda. For the first time ever an industrial acoustic sonar camera will be used to search for these monsters. The investigation will also search the Everglades of Florida where pet pythons have escaped and are multiplying and growing to huge sizes, preying on all kinds of animals, even swallowing a full grown alligator in one case. Could a human become their next victim?

🙂 Thank You.

  2. Loren Coleman responds:

    No, I am not on Twitter (how could I express myself in 140 characters only?), MySpace, Facebook, or even via texting, because, frankly, I work constantly to keep you all informed via blogging and answering my emails. 🙂

    If I twittered and all the rest, I’d never get outside, and I do enjoy the fieldwork and forests sometimes, ha ha!!

    Seriously, however, I am glad people are linking to Cryptomundo via twit-twitting for those that Twitter.

    I wouldn’t worry about the muskies: I’d be worrying about the State bird, and if yer up nort’ the blackflies, too.
