Legends and folklore about mysterious creatures are embedded into our culture.
As we have gotten older we now recognise these were merely whimsical fables.
But what if they are not so mythical after all and actually based in truth.
What if these strange creations have been living amongst us the entire time...
Here are 5 Mythical Creatures That Could Actually Exist
Sasquatch Big Foot
When you think of Big Foot the image that instantly comes to mind is the grainy footage
of a man in a gorilla costume strolling through the woods.
But there have been reporting's of large ape like creatures across the Pacific North West
of the US.
It seems like every day a new sighting of the mysterious beast is reported.
With so many sightings it is becoming harder and harder to simply pass off as a hoax.
Big foot, also known as Sasquatch, is seen to be a large a hairy ape like creature that
resides in the deep woods.
It is often referred to as the missing link.
A long forgotten part of our evolutionary history when we broke apart from our ape ancestor.
Big Foot is a staple of American myth and the big hairy creature has also appeared in
Native American folklore.
In a report published by Pennsylvania State University doctoral candidate Josh Stevens
in 2013, there was over 3,313 reports over 92 years of Sasquatch sightings in the USA
alone.
Sightings of the ape put it between 7 to 9 feet tall with hair all over its body.
In 2014 in Jackson Country Missouri a woman stopped her car when a large creature stomped
across the road.
There had also been a number of other sightings in the area as well as rock throwings.
In September 2007 a local law enforcement officer answered an alarm call on a ranch.
While driving he had to slam on the brakes as a 7 foot tall monster with thick brown
hair stood in his path before sulking off into the overgrowth.
The officer stated "he couldn't believe what I was seeing."
There are hundreds more stories similar to these reported every year.
Could you be the next one to see this mysterious ape.
Next time you go down in the woods you better not go alone.
Fairies
Tales of fairies originated in Europe and these mischievous creatures have spread throughout
the world.
Although these elusive winged creatures tend to shy away from humans, sightings have been
reported.
Fairies have been reported a number of times over the recent years in the United Kingdom
especially.
In 2009 Phyllis Bacon took a photo of a fairy in her garden in South London.
This shocking piece of evidence showed a silver winged figure hovering over her lawn.
It had distinguished legs, arms and a head that seemed to glow.
Perhaps the most revealing proof of the existence of fairies occurred in 2014.
University Lecturer John Hyatt from Lancashire, England took a series of photos over two years
which featured small winged people.
He has insisted his photos have not been altered in anyway and that they prove that fairies
truly do exist.
A year later another photograph was captured of the flying creatures.
A mother of two photographed her family's day out to a nearby forest in Northampton,
England.
When she got home and looked at her photos she noticed something quite peculiar.
A mysterious flying creature was hovering near a hanging bluebell.
At first she passed it off as a fly but her children were quick to identify it as a fairy.
Sceptics are quick to blame these sightings as insects or technical glitches, but that
just takes the magic out of it.
Remember, every time someone says they don't believe in fairies, there is a fairy somewhere
that falls down dead.
Shadow people
Have you ever seen a dark shadowy creature lurking in the corner of your room only to
switch on your light to discover it was just a trick of your imagination?
But what if it wasn't?
What if these shadow people were truly watching you?
Suffers of schizophrenia and hallucinations often report seeing these mysterious shadowy
entities.
These dark figures are also tied to sleep paralysis, this is when your mind is conscious
but your body lacks the ability to move.
People often see a dark figure watching them from the corner of their eyes and have been
known to crawl on top of them.
The victim is helpless to resist.
There have been hundreds of reporting's of these strange shadowy figures standing at
the end of your bed, doorway and windows.
Shadow people are always described as very tall, blacker than night and three dimensional.
While some are harmless and take no notice of you, there are sinister ones around.
Shadow people stalking's are common and people would often feel a menacing presence when
they are around.
While some people only realise that the shadow is nothing more than a trick of the light,
others are not so lucky.
People have claimed to experience genuine encounters and even see them in the day time.
Shadow people do not obey the laws of physics which has led many to speculate that they
are not from our dimension.
If they can cross dimensions and time then it would explain how they are able to invade
our dreams.
There have been many sightings of particular shadow person who wears a hat.
This is something much more menacing with glowing red eyes and people are instantly
frozen in fear when confronted with it.
Some unfortunate people have seen this figure creep up throughout their life, always watching,
always waiting.
A young boy once woke up from his sleep to see a tall black figure standing in his door
way.
At first he thought it was his father and called out to him.
When it didn't answer he assumed it was his sister playing a track on him.
But it did not respond to any of his questions.
Terrified he threw his covers over his head, when he peeked back the mysterious person
had disappeared.
Shadow people are often seen by many people on their death bed, waiting for them to die.
A cancer patient reported seeing a shadow person hovering around his hospital bed.
He begged his wife to take him away but the shadow only followed him.
Could these mysterious beings be death?
Guiding you to the afterlife?
Next time you see a dark shadow in your bedroom, don't assume it's just your coat.
Ships
would vanish from out of nowhere and remains of wrecks would frequently wash up on shore.
These were often thought to be the destruction caused by The Kraken.
While storms, pirates and mutineers were the most likely reason for the disappearance of
vessels, there may have been something more sinister at play.
These stories would only gain in momentum when a Danish naturalist named Japetus Steens
discovered a large squid beak about 3 inches in size.
He concluded that the Kraken was in fact real.
Since his initial discovery parts of a large squid like creatures kept washing up on shore.
Over time it was discovered that these parts belonged to a giant squid.
Giant squids can reach 15m in length with some estimating they could reach 18m.
These huge marine animals live at a depth of 400 to 1000m with eyes the size of dinner
plates and two very long tentacles to snatch their victims.
The giant squid is an elusive creature that resides in the deep.
These shy cephalopods are so large and strange looking it is easy for people to mistake them
as something more maleficent.
Superstitious sailors wild imaginations could easily transform a squid into a violent beast.
In 2016 a large mysterious creature was spotted in Google earth.
This sea monster was located near Antarctica and has driven many to speculate on what it
is.
While some has merely passed it off as a whale others are not so quick to easily identify
it.
Scott Waring of the UFO Sightings Daily and said "this looks like the Kraken.
It could be 60+ meters long with tentacles.
That sounds like a Kraken to me"
The ocean is only 5% explored.
Who knows what sinister creatures could be lurking beneath our waters.
Have you ever experienced the sensation that you are being watched?
Do you hear bumps in the night only to discover that you are alone?
You may have experienced a paranormal encounter.
Out of all the mythical creatures, this is the most likely one to be real.
Some people are comforted by idea that the dead walk amongst us, while others are less
than enthusiastic about this theory.
Stories of ghosts have been told since the beginning of time from cultures all around
the world.
In 2009 a PEW Research Center survey found that 29% of Americans say they have felt in
touch with someone who has already died.
Thousands of photos and videos have caught ghosts on tape yet people are quick to dismiss
the evidence.
In fact there are said to be over 2000 amateur ghost hunting groups in the United States
of America.
A wide range of technology is constantly being advanced to prove the existence of spirits.
Scientific equipment such as Electromagnetic Field (EMF) detectors, ion detectors, infrared
cameras, and sensitive microphones.
All of which has yielded impressive results.
Everything from eerie voices, flying orbs and ghostly apparitions have been recorded
yet the wider public continue to reject the existence
of spirits.
Do you think these mythical creatures live amongst us or are they just a figment of our
imagination?
What other mythical creatures do you think could actually exist?
