Monica Rawlins is an experienced outdoorswoman with an extensive background in cryptozoological research and the paranormal. She has been a field researcher for over 17 years and has traveled across the U.S. to conduct her research. She’s worked extensively in television, and radio, where her quick wit and a no-nonsense attitude toward research and evidence has garnered her a solid fan base.

While her main research recently has been dedicated to the search for Bigfoot and Dogman, Monica has also kept an active interest in all things cryptozoological and paranormal. Her points of interest and knowledge are Native American legends with a focus on Skinwalkers and Windego. When time permits, Monica also researches and investigates ghosts and hauntings in the North Texas Area. In addition to Monica’s paranormal investigations in Texas, she also has extensive knowledge of hauntings and legends of the British Isles.

Jonathan David Whitcomb is a cryptozoology author and researcher and founder of the group Living Pterosaurs. He has braved the jungles of Papua New Guinea in search of the elusive Ropen and Indava and investigated and interviewed eyewitness of 'alleged' living pterosaurs around the globe. His book ‘Searching for Ropens and Finding God’ is a great read for anyone interested in this lesser-known area of cryptozoology and I would highly recommend it to anyone interested in these strange sightings of alleged living pterosaurs in our modern era.
