Cryptids and monsters are exotic and elusive creatures that manage to sustain fascination over the ages and become legendary despite people seeing neither hide nor hair of them. Here are some legendary cryptids that wise people whisper about that live in the shadowy regions of Europe and the USA.

If you are wondering why you don’t often see these creatures, it’s because they take classes to learn how to remain blurry in photos.

Many of these are new to me. I’ve heard of Bigfoot /Sasquatch and I think there was horror movie about the Mothman. “Tessie” sounds so familiar to “Nessie”! 🙂

Yes! They are so cute and creepy 🙂 I think there are many in Australia too, some are Indigenous in origin and some are folk stories from the first colonial settlers, about drop bears, rainbow serpents, bunyips, yowies and so on. Australia actually has a lot of interesting cryptids too 🙂

Sorry that for some weird reason I didn’t see your comment Amanda. Yes it’s so cute this idea that these creatures lurk in the shadows haha. I interviewed the king of American crypozoology on my blog, it you like weird and mythical creatures you may enjoy his podcast. I love it, the strong cowboy accent and performance of it, pure escapism.
