Creepy Creatures And Strange Sites

Mysterious Universe

One of the questions that I often get asked when it comes to the matter of Cryptozoology goes something broadly like this: “If Bigfoot, the Abominable Snowman, the Loch Ness Monster, and all the rest, are real, then why can’t we ever catch, or find, just one example of them?” Well, there’s no denying, at all, that it’s a very good question!

The skeptic, of course, would say the reason for the lack of such a specimen is simple: all the reports can be explained away via folklore, fantasy, mythology, mistaken identity, and hoaxes. Those monster-hunters who believe the beasts they seek to be flesh and blood and nothing else, would say the creatures are just incredibly elusive. I say neither approach is correct.

There’s absolutely no doubt in my mind that Sasquatch, lake-monsters, and the many and varied other types of mystery animal that get seen every now and again, are absolutely real. In that sense, I believe the skeptics to be mistaken. But, there’s a problem with the flesh and blood angle of the conventional cryptozoologists - as I see it,  at least.

If this bizarre “monster-menagerie” is just comprised of animals that science and zoology have not classified (or downright refuse to classify), then we should be seeing them purely at random locales – places that are normal, everyday environments, but that just happen to be home to some very strange animals. When we look closer, however, we see that is not what is actually happening: The places are often as profound as the beasts themselves.
