Episodes

Season 1

African Swamp Monster

Ever since some of the first explorers returned from Africa, there have been stories told of strange water-dwelling monsters living in the forests of the Congo Basin. Biologist Pat Spain travels deep into the inhospitable Cameroon jungle to investigate if there is a logical, scientific explanation to these outlandish stories.

Sea Monster

For over a century a sea serpent known as Caddy has been reported off the coast of British Columbia. Biologist Pat Spain travels to Vancouver Island to investigate these astonishing sightings. He questions eyewitnesses, explores First Nations myths and cross-examines top oceanographers in search of the best evidence we have. Drawing in everything from deep sea fishing to marine anatomy, his search takes him to one of the most remote and least understood places on the planet: the bottom of the ocean.

Mongolian Death Worm

Deep in one of the most inhospitable regions of the planet, the Gobi Desert, there is said to live a creature, a freakish desert dwelling "super" monster which has the ability to spray acid, and send out electric shocks and the capability of exploding itself when threatened. The nomads who share its sandy domain live in fear of its deadly powers. But could such a creature really exist, going undiscovered in this vast wilderness? Biologist and monster hunter Pat Spain heads off to investigate the truth behind the deadly Mongolian Death Worm.
