“Destination Truth” is a reality (or “reality”) show
featuring intrepid explorer Josh Gates as he crisscrosses the globe in search
of evidence for the paranormal and anomalous. The series is obviously intended
as entertainment, starring clueless natives, bewildered eye witnesses and a
research team more interested in city night life than jungle wild life.
The supposed monsters hunted by Gates include surviving dinosaurs and pterodactyls, assorted ghosts and demons, and the Bigfoot-like orang pendek of Malaysia. Gates seems to have more luck than the “Finding Bigfoot” team at Animal Planet, since he occasionally does have mysterious encounters, including a UFO/orb sighting in New Guinea, said to be a pterodactyl by the locals. He also claims to have taped the voice of a Thai demon at a crematory, saying “get the hell out of here” in idiomatic Thai!
Despite this, I found many of the episodes pretty dragging and predictable. But yes, they may scare your inner 12 year old boy…
