Is a martian a mythical creature?
Are they where you get your political information? :)
Loch Ness the animal did exist millions of years ago. Probably not in an inland lake though, and definitely not during human history.Quote:

None of the stuff on the list really fits this category but I think the best bet for the cryptozoological jackpot is the deep ocean. Still largely unexplored, the ecology is poorly understood and it's vast enough to harbor populations of creatures that could be the stuff of myth.
Any of the land animals are a serious longshot. There just aren't a lot of places left on earth to support large creatures that we wouldn't have noticed by now. Not saying impossible, but the odds get longer every day.
Ghosts? No. The world would be a far more interesting place if they did exist and I will eagerly embrace the concept should it ever be proven. Little enough is known about how the brain/body/consciousness for there to be plenty of room for the existence of what we call ghosts with a perfectly reasonable explanation so I'm still holding out hope.
I saw an episode of MonsterQuest on History Channel which documented the sightings of the "Jersey Devil".
Now that thing was creepy.
Ghosts? You mean to tell me you're gonna live through this shit and then after you die and can do just about anything--you might choose to spend eternity here trying to tell your Aunt Ruthie about all the money you hid in your back yard?
Ghosts are BULLSHIT. We have no proof of life after death in the first place--it's just human ego and our inability to let dead people do what they have earned the right to do: Be dead and be left alone. Again, we think we're so fucking great that even though we profess to believe in some sort of "heaven"--instead of rolling around in the clouds amongst their winged friends enjoying the presence of "god"--again, Uncle Deeber and Grampy Shlongster would rather poke about through our comic book collection under our beds.
Wait, have we discussed nain rouge yet? Because them shits really do exist. LEPRECHAUN MUTHAFUCKA
Naturally I had to google to find out wtf a nain rouge is. Very cool and yes, you can put me down as a believer. In the process, I ran across this site with a bunch of interesting detroit myth/legend/historical stuff.Quote:
