Cryptid Hunting
  1. This cryptid is very popular, having caused chaos in Point Pleasant, West Virginia in the 1960s. It now has a statue and an annual festival dedicated to it.

  4. This Scottish lake monster is referenced in The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2.
  5. Inhabiting the land around Mount Saint Helens, this huge flying creature was supposedly awakened by the eruption. It is still somewhat unheard of, even though there have been reports as recent as 2014.
  6. In native mythology, this creature rules the “upper world” and creates thunder with its huge wings. Modern reports are often chalked up to misidentification of large raptors (or surviving dinosaurs).
  7. An icon of cryptozoology, this species has been seen world-wide. There have been countless encounters, as well as footage and casts of footprints. While there isn’t much undisputed evidence, 11% of Americans believe in its existence.

  11. This phenomenon has been repeatedly used to support the existence of extraterrestrials and their visitations to Earth. Even the pentagon has released footage admitting that they cannot always explain what is out there.
  12. This place, near Mount Saint Helens, is named after an infamous cryptid incident: a number of miners were working when they were attacked by a group of creatures. The siege continued through the night, and the men abandoned their camp the next day.
