Posted by: Loren Coleman on February 15th, 2008

Before “Monster Quest” and “Destination Truth,” there was “In Search Of…”.

Peter Byrne formerly was a frequent guest on television documentaries.

Here is one such appearance in which Byrne discusses his search for the Abominable Snowmen, which occurred during the quests sponsored by Tom Slick.

These clips are from the classic series.

    Wow, these bring back memories! I remember watching these as a kid back in the 70′s. “In Search Of” played a huge part in getting me interested in cryptids and other mysteries. It certainly was the pioneer of the shows we have today.

  2. squatchwatcher responds:

    awesome! you ever notice how these older programs actually put a little time and effort into their creature costumes? Nowadays it seems like all the programs use gorilla costumes or cheesy CGI effects. Anyway, thanks Loren this brings back alot of memories!

    Very Kool. I wish I could do half the exploring Peter has done in his life. I’m gonna go on my first Squatch expedition in June. Getting really excited about it.

    This series is one of my fondest memories of childhood television. I love it and it’s really cool to see these again! THANKS for posting.

    I really liked the old “In Search Of” series, as well. This does bring memories. Yes, it still a wonderful show.

  7. springheeledjack responds:

    I love those things…they have released the DVD collection, but I have not found it for anything under $200, and that sucks!

    That music was creepy too…still, as a kid, was glued to the set, and it started me down the path to this passion…so thanks to IN SEARCH OF, and Leonard Nemoy of course!

    Peter Byrne…a true gentleman…one of the four horsemen…may he live long and prosper…

    live and let live…
