If you've watched any of the new sci-fi channel's show "Sci-Fi Investigates" you know that it's basically a waste of an hour of your life. At least, that's my personal take from the first two episodes.

Thankfully, I didn't watch any of last night's show on the Mothman investigation, but Loren Coleman, of Cryptomundo has a review of last night's episode, and the show in general, neither of which are too flattering. Seems to me he nailed the show and its demeanor exactly from what I've seen. But, as he points out, sizzle, and not substance, seems to be the characteristic of this show.

Bioluminescence? Eyes glowing on their own? Obviously not, but would you know this from watching this 2006 Sci-Fi television program? No, because it was scarier to talk about “searching the TNT for glowing red eyes”! And boring to talk about the reality of animal eyeshine.

Some of the points that Mr. Coleman make seem very slightly different than the Robert Goerman article featured on Book of THoTH recently, but I think that's part of the point Mr. Coleman was trying to make. It's extremely difficult to research such an old story at this point when people's recollections have been tainted by movies and stories over the years.
