The investigation of monsters can be a broad and daunting endeavor. Although people tend to forget there are monsters other than Bigfoot that lurk in the shadows, some are explainable and we have nothing at all to compare them to other than the apex predators we have been taught to avoid. Can belief in something, individual or collective, make something real? While conventional thought says no it can be said that our beliefs can influence what is seen. There’s a new series on the Discovery Channel: The Lost Monster Files, that reopens recently unearthed decades old archive of famed cryptozoologist, Ivan Sanderson, to reinvestigate his most compelling unexplained creature cases. Tonight on Ground Zero (7-10 pm, pacific time) Clyde Lewis talks with field scientist, Charlie Menshaw and producer/director, Brian Kniffel about THE MONSTER WITHIN.
