DERRY BOROUGH, Pa. (KDKA) — The truth behind sightings of a mysterious bird-like creature in Pennsylvania was examined in a TV series.
KDKA-TV did some digging with help from a well-known researcher, along with a council member for Derry Borough, because the borough is known for unexplained mysteries.
“The most prominent reporting usually has to do with its wingspan, which has been said to be as large as a small aircraft,” said Nathan Bundy, vice president of Derry Borough Council.
The mystery of the Thunderbird of Pennsylvania terrorizing Chestnut Ridge in the westernmost ridge of the Allegheny Mountains soared into the spotlight on the Discovery Channel on Wednesday night. In the series “Lost Monster Files,” a group of experts investigate cryptozoologist Ivan Sanderson’s lost archive of unexplained creatures.
Bundy said he’s looking forward to seeing what clues are uncovered.
Derry Borough is known as the “gateway to the mysterious Chestnut Ridge.” Bigfoot was even declared the official cryptid of the town, and officials put up a Bigfoot statue.
