Travel Channel is picking up a new series “Hunting Evidence,” featuring explorer and biologist Pat Spain. When Spain is not in the lab, he journeys far and wide to uncover answers to fascinating unsolved riddles, historic conundrums and mythic events. Six one-hour episodes will begin airing in June 2018.
The great nephew of acclaimed writer Charles Fort, Spain has always admired his great uncle, who spent a lifetime exploring bizarre phenomena that did not make sense scientifically. With “Hunting Evidence,” Spain will use his science background to solve the world’s greatest enigmas. Upcoming episodes will explore the existence of vampires in New England and new evidence about London’s infamous Jack the Ripper.
“Like so many iconic stories in this series, the notorious tale of Jack the Ripper has captured the world’s attention for generations,” said Courtney White, senior vice president, programming, Travel Channel, Food Network and Cooking Channel. “Pat’s real skill is uncovering fascinating new facts about this enigmatic crime and using exciting breakthroughs in science and technology to get to the truth once and for all.”
