What's your favourite one?
We watched a documentary about the Beast of Bray Road - apparently there is this town in Wisconsin where loads of people have seen a seven foot tall hairy beast that looks like a dog walking on hind legs.
The Beast of Bray Road is described by purported witnesses, including a former assistant district attorney of Walworth County, (source, Terry Evan Williams, Walworth Co. Defense Atty.) in several ways: as a bear-like creature, as a hairy biped resembling Bigfoot, and as an unusually large (2–4 feet tall on all fours, 7 feet tall standing up) intelligent werewolf-like creature able to walk on its hind legs and weighing 400-700 pounds. It's also said that its fur is a brown gray color resembling a dog or bear

So many people have seen it that there ought to be something there - although the descriptions "a bear-like creature" "able to walk on hind legs" "resembling a dog or bear" does make me think - is it a bear?

Have you seen that footage of "thunder birds" sometimes you watch it and go "crikey that's an impossibly huge bird" but then you watch it again and think "maybe not".

Here's the video - i love the way all the comments are "I know everything about turkey buzzards and that definitely is/is not a turkey buzzard".

Wasn't there a thread about this years back? Some cool stuff in it about jackalopes and Mongolian death worms and whatnot.

mythical creatures bestiary

the jackalope is an american phenomenon, i think. are any non-US-based dissensians familiar? a rabbit with a rack of horns, essentially. not sure about its origins, but it is a popular legend in the american south. and west. american southwest. from a postcard on my desk: The Western...

Ah yes... similar but not quite the same no? That's more like fantasy beasts than stuff that (some) people actually believe exist(s) isn't it?

This is the bit I remember, although it was in a thread about giving up coffee, weirdly enough:

CHAOTROPIC said:
I was in the Gobi for a month looking for the Mongolian Death Worm as part of my cryptozoology expedition nonsense. Didn't find it. The place completely blew my mind though ... crazy stuff happening all the time. Spoke to a Russian scientist who told me completely seriously that he'd seen lightning strike a well in the deep desert & a dragon fly out of it & spiral off into the stormclouds. Mongolian tribesmen talking about digging dinosaurs out of frozen rivers & using them as food during the winter. More than bog-standard amazing shit. & crazy topography. Dodged six tornadoes in a jeep driving on a flat plain like a Dali landscape. Mistaking mountains for clouds. etc. & the Mongolians themselves are brilliant ... like a super-earthy weirdly shamanic mix of Russians, brawling Scotsman & Siberian shaman. They're tough as shit & really hilarious, with no sense of personal space. Plus they play ping-pong as well as the Chinese :cool:

You'd love it. The throat-singing alone makes it worth a trip.

There are a lot of good cryptids but it honestly doesn't get better than Bigfoot, for the amount of mythology surrounding Him and the idea that we may have competition with another upright ape
