I don't know how much explanation I can really do. It's just the way things seem to me.Quote:

I've read how several different cultures in opposite ends of the earth were all writing about/drawing them around the same periods of time.
Doesn't mean that they could fly or breathe fire, though.
And maybe the jackalope.

PROOF
Ghosts are something you read a lot about all the time, from people all over the world. I've never been able to detect one, but if they do exist it would not surprise me. Buddhist cosmology talks about 31 realms of existence in which a being can be born, and one of them is the Peta realm, the realm of hungry ghosts. Apparently, beings who struggle against their earthly desires are born here. They roam from place to place with insubstantial bodies, and they try to feed their hunger, but are never satisfied. Could be also that ghosts are mental constructs created out of the fear of death. Or both.
Indian culture also refers to a dragon-like creature called a Naga, which is a deity that can supposedly take shape in two forms that resemble either a human being or a giant snake. Maybe it could be that dragons are manifestations of very, very ancient mental programming having something to do with fear of predation - you know, if you're an ancient human trying to imagine a creature way higher up on the food chain from yourself, you'd probably imagine something scary and snakelike that flies and has armor. Or both.

that's about all I think is possible I guess.
BTW, you should probably add vampires to your list.
