About this show

Every week, Josh Gates, a world adventurer and eager truth-seeker, and his small crew of production buddies visit a different international destination alleged to be the home of a notorious, supernatural or mysterious creature, such as the Chilean Chupacabra, as well as some lesser-known phenomena, such as the dinosaur-like creatures reported in the skies over Papua New Guinea, a haunted village in Thailand and the wolfman of Argentina. Josh searches for evidence to either prove or debunk these stories by talking to witnesses and experts and immersing himself in the local culture.

I can finally sit down and rest, knowing humanity will be well informed of the meaning of life by this show. Now excuse me while I drink some Drano.

If he wanted to catch something on video it would be done. You go to a monster hotspot, sit your ass down and wait...no screaming or overreacting. No meat on a string under a shoe box ideas either. You sit until the monster stumbles upon you and that's it!

How come they never get any video evidence on any of their expeditions? Fake. Just doing it for money. It is entertaining but gets old after a while.
