Memorable, crazy movie

A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

This show is blatantly dishonest when handling the eyewitness accounts provided to them. Season 2, episode 2 featured an interview with Raynham, MA resident Bill Russo, who describes an alleged encounter he had with a 3 - 4 foot tall hair-covered creature. His alleged encounter took place while walking his dog in the early-morning hours just after midnight.Bill Russo's alleged encounter took place in 1990. Monsters and Mysteries changed the year to 1995.Bill Russo's alleged encounter took place on a paved road beneath a street lamp, and not in the middle of a swamp as depicted in Monsters and Mysteries.Promotional descriptions of the episode featuring Bill Russo's alleged encounter claim that Russo was attacked by the creature. At no point did Bill Russo ever claim that he was attacked.In the same episode, video footage is shown of an alleged demonic pukwudgie attack. The video footage was provided to m2 Pictures (the production company responsible for the show) by Andrew Lake. In the episode, the video footage is described as having been shot in the Hockomock Swamp in the Bridgewater region of Massachusetts. In reality, the footage was shot in the Freetown State Forest, a location over 20 miles to the Southeast of the Hockomock Swamp. That same footage was also altered by the producers of Monsters and Mysteries. An alleged pukwudgie face from a still image provided by Andrew Lake was superimposed into the video footage and presented as evidence in the episode. It is also interesting to note that the still image was taken in Rhode Island, and not in the Hockomock Swamp, or even the Freetown State Forest.This show is manipulative, deceptive and dishonest, and is "Reality" TV at its worst . . .

Started watching on cable a series called "Monsters and Mysteries in America" and it's interesting and liked by me for one that I'm a Bigfoot believer and I always like to hear about folklore and the myth and legends of culture regional creature sightings. And shown thru interviews of actual eyewitness accounts the footage shows sketches and actual reacted sightings of the creature while telling the story with mentioned history from the region. And these stories take place all over the United States, and it's just not about Bigfoot and the Loch Ness Monster, it's stories include reports of werewolves, aliens, beast like creatures and even tales of things like a sheep monster and flying demons and winged Bigfoot creatures! And regional legends like The Florida Skunk Ape and South Carolina's Lizard Man are profiled. Overall interesting series that's informative, interesting, and a little scary it's a great paranormal and creature history treat to watch!

My wife & I both believe in the unexplainable, and since we hail from the PNW, she's even been an active Bigfoot researcher with one of the largest non-commercial organizations in the world, but this show owes me my Kit-Kat bar. The "actors" portraying the so-called experiences of individuals hardly seem believable a great majority of the time. In fact, the only story - or "actor" - that gripped me enough to not laugh at them was the Chupacabra lady.As an avid & active Bigfoot researcher who knows more about the mysterious creature than you, my wife confirms the "roars" in the Sierra Nevada episode are completely fake. They seem made for shock, not scientific research. Even as an outside observer I couldn't help but laugh at the fact that these "people" (actors) thought that the legendary Sasquatch would - for some UNEXPLAINABLE, absolutely UNKNOWN reason - faceplant the window of this guys' truck despite years of avoiding detection by actual experts. Even if you take this show with a grain of salt, you might have trouble enjoying it.Save your salt - and your time.

I caught a couple of episodes last night and I was impressed. The eyewitnesses appear credible and the stories of bizarre creatures are captivating. Many people will dismiss this show as nonsense - but if you have an open mind and an interest in the unknown I would definitely give it a watch or two. It really makes you want to take a hike into the wilderness to see what is out there for yourself. Being born and raised in NYC I have not had the chance to see many things out of the ordinary (not counting people on the subway of course). But apparently there are genuine stories from people that have clearly seen something with no explanation. I hope this show and others like it inspire the scientific community to take a closer look at things they might deem "pseudo-science." I would find it ridiculous to discount so many eyewitnesses from so many different locations across the country.
