Bigfoot is a myth that originated in the Pacific Northwestern part of the United States.  For decades now, legend has it that a large mammal-type creature that resembles both a human (because of its upright posture) and a primate, referred to more formally as Sasquatch, really exists.  Big Foot is said to reach heights of up to nine feet, though most accounts (called sightings) have him at about seven feet tall.

The Loch Ness Monster is a huge sea monster that is reputed to live in the cold, murky depths of Loch Ness, in the northern Highlands of Scotland. Reports vary as to its size, but most sightings tend to suggest that it is very large, and very shy about being photographed by visitors and scientists alike. Like the big foot (sasquatch), the Loch Ness Monster – or “Nessie”, as locals know her affectionately – has become one of the most famous symbols of the entire area.

The biggest dinosaurs were all herbivores, or plant eating, dinosaurs, many of whom had long necks to reach leaves on the highest trees.  By contrast, the largest carnivorous dinosaurs were relatively smaller.

The Mothman Prophecies

While the bird-like creature Mothman hasn't been seen in Point Pleasant, West Virginia since just before the Silver Bridge collapsed in 1967 killing 46 people, visitors to this tiny hamlet can see the Mothman statue in Gunn park and visit the museum named for the giant creature. In addition, the annual Mothman festival is held each September in Point Pleasant. As a matter of fact, monster junkies look forward to this each year.

More than 40 years have passed since the first Mothman sightings in November of 1966 and many who either witnessed the sightings themselves or had ties to the community are still unsettled. To others, the Mothman phenomenon is pure entertainment and inspiration for monster Halloween costumes.

John Keel, a parapsychologist and journalist, traveled to Point Pleasant in December of 1966 to investigate the strange sightings. His book, Mothman Prophesies, http://www.amazon.com/Mothman-Prophecies-John-A-Keel/dp/0765341972 was published in 1976 and a movie: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0265349/ by the same name and based on the book was released in 2002. The book was re-released in 2002 as well. Richard Gere starred in the movie and played the part of Keel.

As with any strange phenomena, there are many differing opinions about Mothman, whom a reporter named after a character in the 60's television show Batman. Those who witnessed the strange sightings along with John Keel stand by their story and believe the red-eyed scary monster to be genuine. Others believe it to be a hoax or a figment of overworked imaginations. Some believe Mothman was actually a crane and others believe it was an owl. Still others believe there was a government cover-up as Mothman was rumored to hail from a toxic waste sight.


The Mothman Death List http://www.lorencoleman.com/mothman_death_list.html
lists the names of the victims of the Silver Bridge collapse including the two that were never found. In addition, the names of those with any ties to the Mothman phenomena who have since passed away are included on this list.

Unsolved Mysteries, http://www.unsolved.com/0221-Mothman.html the show hosted by the late Robert Stack broadcast a segment on Mothman in 2002 which coincided with the movie's release and the launch of the Mothman Festival in Point Pleasant, West Virginia.


Yeti (Abominable Snowman)

Although there are some experts who are convinced of the existence of the Abominable Snowman, by and large the existence of this hairy ape-like scary monster allegedly spotted in the Himalayas, is thought to be nothing but folklore. As with the Sasquatch, the only "evidence" has been the huge footprints and unsubstantiated sightings.

Also known As Yeti, the Abominable Snowman has made several appearances in movies, games and other theme venues. Originally released in the UK and later in the United States and other parts of the world, The Abominable Snowman was a 1957 British horror film based on the hairy creature.

Today, there are several theme Abominable Snowman venues. For example, Disney's magical kingdom features the Expedition Everest: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expedition_Everest roller coaster which both frightens and delights visitors as a large Yeti style hand barely misses visitors at the end of the ride, a fact monster fans can't get enough of.

Video game manufacturers have cashed in during recent years when bringing this and other monsters back to the front pages. The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twilight_Princess was released in December 2006 and features two Yetis.

Whether fact or fiction, monster stories spanning hundreds of years still inspire modern entertainment in the form of books, movies, games, festivals, museums and various monster Halloween celebrations.
