Monster Hunting & Moonshine with Doug Ward

Doug Ward is an adventurer, cryptozoologist, treasure hunter, and historian As a youth Doug was exposed to a wide range of people and places , from the backwoods and swamps of Alabama to the Alaska wilderness. His father worked the Alaska pipeline and lived for adventure . Doug himself caught the bug From a young age he was searching for lost gold and investigating “ Monster Legends” by 12 years old For most of his forty something years he has gone out of his way to walk a different road. A road that has lead him from fringe archaeology, to “monster hunting”, to seeking buried treasure in the middle of supposedly haunted swamps while leading a team of half crazed, like minded, piratical, near sociopaths in search of the unknown.

Doug has searched for lost cities, tracked “werewolf sightings”, hunted down gold hidden by a civil war secret society, lived alone deep in the woods for months. Hitchhiked the country , lead expeditions in search of everything from bipedal ape like critters to Banshees to lost cities . At some point Doug pretty much said screw living anything that seems like an average live . Besides Werewolf hunting and cryptozoology research, Doug writes for several blogs ,teaches cryptozoology , chases legends, lectures on assorted historical oddities , makes a little moonshine and pretty much does whatever the Hell he wants to.
