Paranormal Topics
Cryptozoology & Unexplained Creatures
Ghosts are only one part of the unexplained. Cryptozoology looks at reported animals and creatures whose existence, identity or continued survival has not been established by mainstream zoology.
Curiosity without certainty. A story, photograph or eyewitness account can be interesting without proving that an unknown creature exists. Misidentification, folklore and incomplete evidence are part of the subject too.
Lake & Sea Creatures
Reports of large unidentified aquatic animals include famous names such as Nessie, Manipogo and Ogopogo. Sightings may involve known wildlife, waves, floating debris or something not immediately identified.
Chupacabra
A creature from modern folklore associated with reports of unexplained livestock deaths, especially in the Americas. Descriptions have varied considerably over time.
Thunderbirds
Stories of unusually large birds appear in Indigenous traditions, folklore and more recent sighting reports. Some modern accounts may involve misidentified large bird species.
Animals Thought Extinct
Cryptozoology sometimes overlaps with searches for species believed extinct or absent from a region. Unlike legendary cryptids, rediscovery of a species is a question that can ultimately be tested with physical evidence.
What belongs here?
This section can grow as the archive develops: historical reports, regional legends, photographs, eyewitness accounts and careful examinations of possible ordinary explanations.
Visitor material should be presented as submitted accounts or images rather than verified evidence. Where a known animal, environmental effect or other plausible explanation fits the evidence, that context should be included.
