  • Messages:

    The investigative series attempts to give equal time to experts and witnesses on both sides of the debate about legendary monsters' existence. Experts use applied science and technology to test the credibility of eyewitness accounts and to search for further evidence of the creatures' existence.

What Parents Need to Know

About MonsterQuest

Parents need to know that although this investigative series about legendary creatures like Bigfoot, the Swamp Beast, and the Loch Ness Monster is well-researched, it doesn't come to any conclusive answers. This uncertainty -- along with the depictions and first-hand accounts of the creatures in question -- may confuse and possibly frighten young or very sensitive viewers. But for everyone else, the series is a fascinating display of how science is used to examine mysteries.

Families Can Talk About

  • Families can talk about whether they think any of these monsters really exist. Could there be massive creatures roaming the earth that we haven't yet identified? Do any of these monsters seem more believable than others? Why or why not? If they do exist, why haven't we been able to prove it yet? Which scientific arguments did you find most convincing? Did watching this series change your opinion about whether these monsters exist?
