Anyone beleive in this besides me? It's the study of animals that haven't been proven yet, here's a list:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Cryptids

I beleive in some of it like Bigfoot, Giant Anaconda, Yeti, Tasmaninan Tiger (which was a real animal but is extinct but rumors say there's some left),etc..

But some is just gay, goatman!??, Lizard Man!??, New Jersey Devil!? Peopel will beleive anything.

So what's everyone's opinion on this? I only started be interested in this stuff ebcause of Dib.

I want to see stories about the legendary giant three-eyed Chernobyl Pig.

To be honest, unless there is actual (and accurate) proof of some of these cryptids, I going to dismiss them as hoax until then.

For many decades, people said the same thing about animals that we now consider ordinary, if not mundane, like the Giant Panda, Mountain Gorilla, Okapi and many others. Every year, at least one species of animal, often something quite large(like the "new" species of Clouded Leopard), is discovered, or in some cases, REdiscovered after it was thought to be long extinct. Yes, there are hoaxes, but very often, reports are too consistent to simply ignore. One such hoax that I DO know of, though it's never been "officially" solved as such, involves Lee County, SC's, very own "Lizard Man". I know that this was my very tall cousin, the late Lucious Elmore, dressed in a suit made of a Halloween costume and some butterbean hulls from his truck farm, that he'd made to scare off would-be thieves. He'd had several farm pumps and other expensive bits of equipment vandalized by punk kids, and with the suggestion of his brother-in-law and some sewing skills provided by his wife, what was to become one of the biggest news sensations of the '80s was born!

Yes exactly PBL. Notice how alot of those are large animals so there's possibilities some large mammals are alive. Plus, the giant anaconda is pretty beilvable. Rumor has it that the snake was too large to carry out of the Amazon. But alot are just insane a giant goat like creature that walks on two legs, that's just wrong. Someoen should make a comic about goatman, as a super secret super-hero who stops crime as a paranormal creature.

Also on the Wiki list it says Greys (the more common alien that you see in commercials, TVs & movies) as cryptids, huh?

I've been interested in the Thunderbird for a while, and there's always Bigfoot!

Wait, seriously? Wow, you're related to a mythical creature!

One such creature that sounds kinda cool is that Mothman guy. I doubt it's real, but I'm curious to know what people were really seeing when they reported it, if they actually saw it at all.

AerostarMonk · 04-04-2007, 11:27 PM

I wonder what brought about the term Mothman. I mean the creature described is often said to be owl-like. I guess Mothman just sounds better.

I have been interested in Mothman for quite sometime. I wish there were more reports that didn't vary from telling to telling. And recent sightings have been at an all-time low.
