The Mysterious Monsters

And that meant things like the Bermuda Triangle documentaries.

it meant also the ones on bigfoot and loch ness monster my favorite possibly of those would be one called uh mysterious monsters from 1976 and i suppose it was because i was watching these things as a kid and the great joy of mysterious monsters with host peter graves was that it actually covers bigfoot loch ness monster abominable snowman all in one film So it was like three in one and it was a great joy.

So that would probably be my favorite.

But I still go back to Chariots of the Gods.

Yeah, so the dates can sometimes, you know, be a copyright date versus when they were really in theaters.

But, you know, those near-death experiences and sometimes the lo-fi graphics would actually be great stuff, almost like a Doctor Who wormhole of, you know, maybe I was saying a lie and then I came back to life, you know, or I was reincarnated or what have you.

So I love so many of these, which of course led me to write the book, but I suppose maybe Mysterious Monsters.

would be my favorite, just because I love monsters, I love horror, and it had all three in one.

And so as he was walking, his cast and his foot was making these prints, right? And so what's ironic, though, is that we have a rich history of sightings in the area.

And just because these prints were made accidentally by Al Ciccolero, that does not negate the fact that we live in a hotspot, you know? But it's something to mention because that weekend, a lot of people thought maybe they were promoting a film at the Northland Theater because they had a movie called Mysterious Monsters that was premiering that same weekend.

So a lot of people chalked it up to a hoax.

But I love Al.

Let's do it.

Bigfoot, Mysterious Monsters, 1976.

Scared the living crap out of me.

The Abominable Snowman, The Loch Ness Monster, and of course, Bigfoot.

And years later, I was watching something on YouTube and I saw this show, um, I think it was '75.

It starred Peter Graves, called Mysterious Monsters.

And there was a section in that where they were talking about the Sierra Sounds.

And, uh, back then it was Al Berry who had recorded them.
