Myth or Monster is a new TV show on the Travel Channel that will examine some of the most popular legends that can be found in places situated all around the world. For fantasy fans, it might interest them to know that the host is Patrick Rothfuss, which seems like a rather appropriate choice considering the content.
Here are 5 things that you may or may not have known about Myth or Monster:
Hosted By Patrick Rothfuss
The TV show is hosted by Patrick Rothfuss, who is a fantasy author famous for The Name of the Wind as well as its follow-up The Wise Man’s Fear. As a result, Rothfuss is a well-known name in the fantasy fandom, which makes him an excellent choice for a TV show that is interested in examining some of the most famous stories that can be found out here in the real world.
Examines the Past
Part of the process for Myth or Monster involves examining the past. This makes sense because some of the stories that will be examined on the TV show have existed for centuries and centuries, meaning that it would be impossible to produce a satisfactory examination without taking a good look at the past.
Examines the Present
With that said, Myth or Monster will also be examining its stories using more modern sources, which once again, makes sense because they are supposed to be stories that have persisted into the present. For those who are curious, much of this will consist of Rothfuss speaking with eyewitnesses who claim to have seen whatever is being featured on the latest episode, which should make for some interesting if not necessarily convincing interviews. Of course, each episode will also do its best to uncover the truth behind the stories, but it remains to be see how well it will do in this regard.
First Episode Was Mothman
The first episode of Myth or Monster focused on Mothman, who is a somewhat well-known part of West Virginian folklore. Like its name suggests, Mothman is supposed to look like a cross between a moth and a man, though since most of the sightings happened at night, good descriptions of the supposed creature are not exactly common. Some people think that Mothman is either an alien, some sort of supernatural creature, or some sort of unknown animal, but more than one scientist has suggested that the whole thing started out as a mistaken sighting of a particularly large bird at night, which can wreak havoc with people’s senses when they are in an excited state of mind.
Number of Air-times
For those who are curious, watching Myth or Monster should be convenient because it airs on a number of times over the course of the week. Those who want to watch it as soon as possible should tune in at 9 PM on Fridays. However, those who cannot watch it at that point in time should know that it will be aired again on Saturdays as well as Thursdays. Out of these times, Saturday is probably the best time, since it will show Myth or Monster not once but twice at 12 AM and 11 PM.
