just watch it!

Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

Your blood may run cold, but you now find yourself pinioned to the story.

Call me crazy, but wouldn't it make sense, when chasing spirits in Peru for instance, to communicate with a suspected entity in Spanish or Quechua instead of English? Inquiring minds...

What a polar opposite to Expedition Unknown, which I truly like. EU is based in facts, archaeology, history, evidence. Destination "Truth" is based in....nothing but entertainment factor for ghosty ghoulie fans. Can't hardly stand watching this idiocy, except that once in a while they actually throw in some true culture and history that keeps my attention and makes me think that if I endure the crap, I might learn something worth my time. Big foot, large crocodiles, bats, animal noises, lights, urban and backwoods legends, over stating weather and normal natural obstacles.....all WAY over dramatisized deliberately, for nothing more than suspense to keep really bored people really duped. It's like one show is scientifically based and then....well hell, just in case we don't do well with intelligent, historical science (EU) let's do stupid, drunk hillbilly, sensationalistic bullcrap just in case. That way we get good ratings for EU from one demographic and some good, drug induced thumbs up from....another demographic. Seriously....if you're fascinated by paranormal (and plenty of intelligent, scientific ppl are) there are many other venues which are actually better suited to whet your appetite....that don't presume you're a total idiot. Flipside....Gates is ingeniously two faced in these shows. He is knowledgeable, level headed, factually in-tuned and a good teacher in Expedition Unknown. It is much less theater and more genuine conveying of real info. Yet he is a silly peddler of tricks and drama in Destination "Truth" and betrays that he really sucks at acting. Expedition Unknown raises my eyebrow. Destination Crap makes my eyes roll.

I absolutely love this show and am baffled about all the people bashing it. Josh Gates is one hell of a host and keeps things interesting and fun. I have no idea why some people get the impression that he is making fun of the locals in the exotic destinations he investigates. Josh is a goofy guy and finds humor in every situation and I don't think that's such a bad quality and who ever thinks so must lead a boring life. People also seem to complain about them not finding any evidence which I find hilarious. Do you really expect them to find evidence of a werewolf? Obviously there is no such thing as werewolves and if they found "evidence" to support that, I'd stop watching. Destination Truth is about introducing us couch potatoes to other cultures and their superstitions and beliefs and going out there to A. If it is a plausible creature, look for possible evidence of it's existence. and/or B. Look for what people could be mistaking as a unknown creature. Most of the time they find evidence to support the latter. I have also read comments criticizing the on camera "freak outs," I'm sorry but if you are in the middle of the jungle at night; you better be afraid of EVERYTHING. No one on this show claims to be a scientist and actual scientific research can take years if not ones lifetime. So, if you like travel mixed with humor and learning about other cultures' superstitions and "monster" sightings with a healthy does of skepticism then this show is for you. If you take life way too seriously, hate fun, and like to spend time ripping a TELEVISION SHOW apart... look elsewhere.

Wow, this guy is just plain bumbling and seems to scare himself (and his crew) more than anything else. It's actually kind of funny watching him work himself up when they're out on location trying to debunk some local legend or whatever they're attempting to do. Apparently, he is also quite terrified of thunderstorms, too funny, hasn't he ever heard of a lightning rod? Hire someone who isn't afraid f mundane things when you want someone investigating something that might be delving deeper into the unknown.I agree with the other guy who rated this show quite low. There is absolutely no preparation before they go places or launch "investigations," they film for a few hours and call it quits, they do seem to patronize the locals, and worst of all they never arrive at any type of conclusion or come up with any credible evidence. Any amateur given the paltry equipment they use in this series could come up with a much better show or at least some form of results. The SciFi Channel needs to hire someone who is less of a scaredy-cat and more of a go-getter.The show is worth it if you want to watch a group of people jumping at their own shadows, but other than that there is no other redeeming qualities.
