Sasquatch Attack II
Posted by: Loren Coleman on November 16th, 2008
“Sasquatch Attack II” was broadcast on “MonsterQuest.” Did you see it and what did you think?
Something has been attacking a remote cabin in Northern Ontario, Canada–it may have left behind a blood trail. DNA analysis suggests that the creature is a non-human primate. A follow up test will confirm or deny this, and the results could change history. Meanwhile, a new expedition, outfitted with the most advanced surveillance and detection equipment, will set up camp at the cabin and wait for the creature’s imminent return. Scientists will be brought in to tell viewers what the evidence reveals.
About Loren Coleman
Loren Coleman is one of the world’s leading cryptozoologists, some say “the” leading living cryptozoologist. Certainly, he is acknowledged as the current living American researcher and writer who has most popularized cryptozoology in the late 20th and early 21st centuries.
Starting his fieldwork and investigations in 1960, after traveling and trekking extensively in pursuit of cryptozoological mysteries, Coleman began writing to share his experiences in 1969. An honorary member of Ivan T. Sanderson’s Society for the Investigation of the Unexplained in the 1970s, Coleman has been bestowed with similar honorary memberships of the North Idaho College Cryptozoology Club in 1983, and in subsequent years, that of the British Columbia Scientific Cryptozoology Club, CryptoSafari International, and other international organizations. He was also a Life Member and Benefactor of the International Society of Cryptozoology (now-defunct).
Loren Coleman’s daily blog, as a member of the Cryptomundo Team, served as an ongoing avenue of communication for the ever-growing body of cryptozoo news from 2005 through 2013. He returned as an infrequent contributor beginning Halloween week of 2015.
Coleman is the founder in 2003, and current director of the International Cryptozoology Museum in Portland, Maine.
the episode stunk. it had no purpose the whole entire season was a waste to watch with my own eyes. They couldn’t find anything at all besides at the end the recent sighting. I know it is TV, but they could of planned a little bit ahead by researching the season and he timing of going there because higher chances of being there if it is the same week/month.
the creature could be anywhere what you have is have a a larger scale search. they will never find anything on tv maybe you they should go in for a couple of weeks next time and they could get more evidence because the cryptids may be scared and not come on the the couple days the crew is there.
Boo on Monsterquest
I bet they wish they had a camera trap at or near the front door of the cabin when Chuck put that nail board …

Good point. Is there no such published paper? One published paper in Australia summarises 203 sightings of Tasmanian tigers – in Western Australia!
mystery_man, backing up Uriah, wrote “The vast majority of any serious research does not happen over night and I think anyone who expects that a show like this can set up shop for seven days and come up with some revelation out of the blue is likely going to be disappointed”
Hit the nail on the head. It’s a shame that’s the way it is, but that’s the way it is.
I’ve been catching up on all of the bigfoot episodes and have noticed a pattern. They appear to be marginally better equipped to search for any version of bigfoot than a family of farmboys with a tractor and a lantern. If they spent a quarter of the show’s ad revenue on searching they might actually have something to show people. Do not film 3 guys with a heliocopter that can fly for 10 mins and call that an “expedition”. The amount of terrain covered in any of their episodes is a few city blocks at best. Install trail cameras near sources of water in a large region and send people to check on them every few months. The show lacks content so they have to repeat themselves about 10 times the same scenes, the same quotes, the same intros, the same wolf’s eyeball video intro, just a filler. Overall the show is a laughable attempt at discovery. The Rods episode should not have even aired, 10 seconds on wikipedia answers that “mystery”. I expected more out of the History Channel…..
I saw it and, YES, I was disappointed. BUT…..Monster Quest consistently disappoints. They certainly have a knack for drawing you in, only to produce nothing in conclusion. It’s always the same scenario….the explorer/scientist against the “expert analysis”….experts who fear for their careers/reputation were they to divulge any results NOT explained by conventional science. I don’t know who is more foolish, the explorer/scientist in his trust of his own findings or me, for continuing to watch MQ…..yet I do.
