Strange sightings in Chestnut Ridge, Pennsylvania, draw the attention of the Lost Monster Files team. Reports of a large bird of prey terrorizing the area suggest something more than just a particularly aggressive hawk. Could it be, as Sanderson theorizes, the legendary thunderbird?
This creature, a staple of Native American folklore, is typically described as a massive avian predator with razor-sharp claws and a wingspan that could rival a small airplane. It’s the kind of cryptid that fuels imaginations and campfire stories, a creature both terrifying and strangely majestic.
The team, armed with Sanderson’s decades-old case files, sets out to investigate. Sanderson, a renowned biologist and cryptozoologist, dedicated his life to the pursuit of unknown species, amassing an archive of evidence and artifacts from his hunts.
This archive, hidden until now, provides the team with a unique starting point, a glimpse into the mind of a man obsessed with the unexplained. Will Sanderson’s research help them identify the creature lurking in Chestnut Ridge, or will it simply lead them down another rabbit hole of speculation and unanswered questions?
Lost Monster Files: Thunderbird of Pennsylvania airs Wednesday October 23, 2024 at 10.01pm on Discovery.
