MonsterQuest’s Thought Process

Reporter Amy Carlson Gustafson of the Pioneer Press interviewed MonsterQuest’s Executive Producer Douglas Hajicek for today’s edition of her paper.

One item of interest she asked about was what was the thought process behind a MonsterQuest expedition. Here’s his answer:

“We’re certainly not out to debunk, we’re out in search of. You can’t discount everything. We go out with an open mind, and we sincerely give major effort and try to think out of the box. We try to capture film evidence of the existence of these things. You have go on the hypothesis that they’re real, or why would you be out there trying to find them?”

“I’ve been on some expeditions where I’ve wanted to go home. We were up in Ontario and we had our cabin attacked by something, but we don’t know what. We didn’t get any footage of it, but something was throwing rocks at the cabin. I’ve been on four expeditions to that same place, and three times we’ve had the cabin attacked and big stones thrown at us. It’s quite interesting because it’s in the middle of nowhere and there aren’t any roads. To get there, you have to be flown in and dropped off.”

MonsterQuest is broadcasting Season Three every Wednesday night at 9 PM Eastern on the History Network, usually with a replay of a previous episode at 8 PM Eastern. For example, tonight’s program on “Cattle Killers” is proceeded by a re-run of their giant bear program from last season.
