Dover Demon

For my last post I choose the Dover Demon because the story originates in Dover, Massachusetts and I'm from Massachusetts.

History

 The Dover Demon's story originates in 1977, April 21 in Dover Massachusetts a 17 yearold boy, William Bartlett claimed he saw a large-eye creature, with tendril-like fingers and glowing eyes on top of a broken wall on Farm street in Dover. On the same evening a 15 yearold boy, John Baxter reported seeing the same creture as William in the heavily wooded area on Miler Hill road. Lastly another 15 year old girl named Abby Brabham, claimed to have seen the creature the folowing night sitting upright on springdale avenue. After all of this all the teeneagers were told to sketch out what they had sawn and all drew very similiar pictures. The police of Dover just believed this was a bunch of high school kids playing a hoax on the town. Cryptolgist today say this creature could have been a foal or a moose calf. Further more, the Dover Demon did in fact go on and gain world wide attention and drew comparison to Bigfoot and the Locheness monster. The Dover Demon is not associated with aliens.

Physical Discription

The Dover Demon is described as looking "gray, except that it has skin of a rosy orange instead of sickly gray. The Dover Demon has a large head on a small, stick-like body. It can be bipedal, but it often travels on all fours or switches back and forth between crawling and walking. It has eyes that glow orande and green. It does not seem to wear any clothing unless the clothing fits tightly and is the same color as its body.

Jersey Devil

Jersey Devil

Description 

The Jersey Devil originated in Southern New Jersey. The Cryptide is described as a flying biped with hooves. The most common discription of a New Jersey Devil is that it looks like a kangaroo, with a head of a bat, horns, giant bat wings, small arms with claws and a forked tail.

The New Jersey Devils

The New Jersey Devil is one of the most unique cryprides to me because it worked it's way into the pop culture of it's area. In the National Hockey League, new jersey's team is named after this cryptide. It really has become a cultural icon in the state.

Orgin of the Legend

There was a mother named Leeds who supposivley had 12 children. When she found out she was pregnant with her 13th child she said, it would be the devil. Mother Leeds is said to be a witch and her husband was the devil himself. The child is then born and changes form. The baby changes into the New Jersey Devil and then kills it's mom. It took place in Atlantic county, which is now New Jersey.

Skeptics

Skeptics believe the Jersey Devil is to be nothing more than just a made up fable, that English settlers told there children for entertainment. They came up with this conclusion because there are no bones or photos of the Jersey Devil and you can't even believe in the cryptide if you don't believe in the supernatural. The Jersey Devil is just famous because it was able to become popular among the culture it originated in.

Atmospheric Beasts

Atmospheric Beasts

 Right from the get-go I don't believe in atmospheric beasts. I just choose to blog about them because I was very interested in the idea of atmospheric beasts.

Atmospheric beasts are flying monsters from the cryptozoology kingdom. Not to mention they are the strangest flying monsters' in cryptozoology. Some people also believe they are just aliens visiting our planet.The physical traits of an atmospheric beasts is that they have mouths, eyes, flippers and other features, but these body parts are generally arranged and shaped in a fashion that looks alien like. It has an ocean invertebrate's body plan. (The structure of most animals we see on a daily basis).  Atmospheric beasts are said to resemble whales and are  referred as air whales or cloud beasts. Believers think that the atmospheric beasts' normal habitat is high in the air. They also believe if they touch the ground, they will die.  Their corpse forms a jelly-like form that may resemble a green, purple, gray that evaporates into nothing. The process is said by believers to take minutes, hours, or, at the very latest a few days.

Where do they come from?

People have thought atmospheric beasts originated in the atmosphere of some other planet or originating in interstellar gas clouds. Which means they are aliens without a native planet. You can think of it as if these animals just planet hop, going from one planet to another. Believers generally consider atmospheric beasts to be non-intelligent, so that even if these creatures did originate somewhere other than earth. They are still not considered as sentient extraterrestrials. 

Freaks of Nature

   

In various eyewitness accounts, atmospheric beasts have been seen to change their density, becoming smaller, harder masses that are usually metallic in color, or they can become larger and cloudlike, even to the point of invisibility. Also people think they see them when they see a shape in the air that is far to mobile to be a plane or a bird. A policeman in England described an encounter with an Atmospheric beast ; (that had supposedly happened to him while bicycling). "The thing felt like a soft blanket and smelled like mildew. After it rubbed against him, it floated away. It was one of the most terrifying experiences he had ever had. He was convinced that the thing was a living creature." Those who report being physically touched by atmospheric beasts often say they felt as if they were being licked by an enormously soft tongue. This information has caused me to believe that if these beasts were real they would be freaks of nature because they break almost all the simple characteristics, we have for animals. They also contradict the basic principles of physics. 

                     

How are these thing logical?

 The only way I can possibly believe in atmospheric beasts is if I rope the principles of hidden sea life form. It's said that the sea has it's own life that is hidden from the human eye. If you think about the atmosphere, you can conclude that clouds can form a vast atmospheric sea, that is far above us. Basically i'm saying these animals are native to the clouds. But with planes today it is safe to say if these things existed we would have ran into them by now because the sky is not like the sea because there are depths in the ocean that no one can reach but there isn't a damn thing we can't see in the sky. 

How do Scientists think of them today?

Today the atmospheric beast theory had been almost forgotten by scientists. But they are only relevant, today because of  weird UFO reports which sometimes portray atmospheric beasts They now seem more believable after the recent discovery of what might be a related cryptozoological animal: air rods. 

Until I wake up and see a flying whale, I completely think atmospheric beasts were completely made up by some lunatic scientist, who must have been tripping balls to think he saw a flying whale contradict the basic principles of physics.

Loch Ness Monster

Loch Ness Monster

The Loch Ness Monster is tied with Bigfoot for most popular cryptid, when the ordinary person thinks about cryptozology. The reason for this is because Bigfoot and the Loch Ness Monster have obtained far more media attention then any other ctyptids. Some people even refer to the Loch Ness Monster as a swimming Elephant, sea serphant and a dinosaur. The real name of the monster is Nessie because Loch Ness refers to the lake in Scotland. It's believed that Nessis lives in the lake Loch Ness. A monk was the first person to claim to see the Loch Ness Monster. The first photo taken of this animal was in 1933 but the scientific community has never approved the Loch Ness Monster as a valid animal. Lake Loch Ness is also Scotlands most profitable tourist sites.

Physical Attributes

Note: The Loch Ness Monster is not a long lost dinosaur but it's more of a giant Sturgeon

 History

The first sightings lead as far back as to the 6th centuary. The Romans were the first people to record sightings of this beast while they were in Scotland. But scientist believe Loch Ness Monster sightings prior to 1933 are highly dubious and do not prove that there was a tradition of the monster before this date. In 1934 there was an alleged conspiracy by the Natural History Museum to shoot the beast and bring it to London, MP Murdoch MacDonald acted to save Scotland’s most famous resident. But the parliment shot it down because they were not going to make laws to protect a monster. A lot of the times people have witnessed Nessis either in the water through a wave or on the land around lake Loch Ness.

Scientific Approach

This is the famous picture of Nessis being on Sonar

Scientists have gone into Lake Loch Ness with high powered sonars to see if Nessis was real. A sonar is a machine that can deatect body movments and sounds in water. The scientists were never able to caputre this thing on sonar and then find it. A couple times they saw movments on the sonar that looked like it could have belonged to Nessis, but they were never able to capture, or take a picture of it.

My idea is that the Loch Ness Monster has to be fake for one reason. If an animal is said to be in a lake then it's landlock, which means it can't go anywhere. So the only way for the species to survive is if there is a living breeding population. The Loch Ness Monster legend had been around for centuries, so if it was real there should be tons of these elephant looking sea-horses swimming around lake Loch Ness.

Chupacabra

Chupacabra

 

The Chupacabra is a very famous cryptide that originated in Puerto Rico. But it has also been rumored that it lives in other parts of the America's and in European nations as far as Russia. It's name means goat sucker in spanish because it was known to drink the blood of livestock and especially goats.

The appearence of a Chupacabra  is describred as a reptile-like creature, with leatherly or             scaly greenish-darkish skin and a sharp spin running down it's back. It is said to be 3 to 5 feet tall       and hope like a kangaroo. But many scientists believe the Chupacabra is a strange breed of a dog that dosent have normal domestic dog features.

  The original story takes place in the year of 1955 in March. In this incident 8 sheep were found dead with punctures in their chests and completley drained of blood. Also later that year a witness named Madelyn Tolentino suposedly saw the creature in the Puerta Rican town of Canovanas and 150 animals were said to be killed in this town.

Related Legends; A popular legend in New Orleans talks about animals that are described as chupacabras living on a road called grunch. The Peuchen of Chile also share similarities in their supposed habits but instead of them being like dogs they are described as winged snakes. People believe this legend originated from the vampire bat.

Also people believe the Chupacabra is a US military creation. It would be used to reduce the size of an enemys food supply because these animals are known to drink the blood out of their prey. Another theory is that it was a result of experiments with recovered alien DNA and was a result of genetic engineering that was released into the wild on good intentions.

The last theory some people believe that Aliens were drinking the blood of the reportedly missing animals around the areas, where Chupacabras were spotted.

My idea is that the Chupacabra is a bunch of nonesense for a couple reasons. A there are two different discriptions of the cryptide. One is a dog and the other is a bat like creature. B it is said to drink blood only. The only thing I know that can survive off of blood is a mosquito not a predator. Also there are just too many eye witness reports that claim different things about this animal. (How it acts and looks) If anything a Chupacabra might have lived a while ago because of a genetic mutation in a dog, kangaroo, or racoon but I don't believe that we live amongst and Chupacabras in our present day.

Bigfoot

                                                                              Bigfoot

 Bigfoot is one of the most famous animal in crypto zoo logey. It's a very controversial  subject that the scientific community tend to dismiss as pseudoscience because of unreliable eyewitness accounts, lack of scientific and physical evidence, and over-reliance on confirmation rather than refutation. Most experts on the matter consider  Bigfoot  to be a combination of folklore and hoaxes.

 Bigfoot is sometimes described as a large, hairy bipedal hominoid, Big foot is the name given to a cryptide ape creature that some people believe inhabits forests. Mainly in the Pacificwest region of North America. Bigfot also goes by many names depending on what region you are in;  such as the Yeti of Tibet and Nepal and the Yowie of Australia.

  Bigfoots physical traits; 6-10 feet  tall, weighing up to 500 pounds, and covered in dark brown or dark reddish hair. People who have witnessed Bigfoot have described him with large eyes, a pronounced brow ridge, and a large low-set forehead; the top of the head is described as being rounded and crested. Basically Big Foot was a super Ape. People who have encountered the creature says it has an awful stench to it.

 Now that you have a good idea of what Bigfoot is, Do you believe he is real?

 Well you really cant tell because all the information we have on Bigfoot is oral history and peoples own personal accounts of their encounterments with the creature.
The only concreate evidence scientists have are allegedly found foot prints.

 The enormous footprints for which it is named have been as large as 24 inches  long and 8 inches wide.
 Scientists discount the existence of bigfoot and consider it to be a combination of folklore, misidentification, and hoax, rather than a living animal, in part because of the large numbers thought necessary to maintain a breeding population.
  In conclusion Bigfoot is just a giant ape that a lot of people have claimed to see and its a big deal because no scientits in the history of our world has caught or gotten DNA from a BigFoot.
 My theory: I believe Bigfoot is fake for a couple of reasons. One is that if this creature was real someone would have found a dead Bigfoot corpse by now. Also people claim to see it but scientists cant seem to find it, which means that all these Bigfoot Scientists and believers are just chasing a ghost. If there was a Bigfoot, he is long extinct because I believe if Bigfoot's been around for so long, why hasn't one came out of the wild yet to communicate with humans? You see deers do this all the time in todays world. Also to put the iceing on the cake there is a show called finding Bigfoot on National Geographic and it's been on for three seasons. They never found Bigfoot. It's safe to say I think Bigfoot is a load of mumbo jumbo.

 Welcome... to whoever this may concern;
     My blog is a about crypto zoo logey. Big Foot, The Loch Ness Monster and Killer Bees are directly correlated to crypto zoo logey. This blog is strictly for crypto zoo logey  zealots, if you don't believe in it,  adios. Further more, this blog is going to go into depth about the animals in crypto zoo logey and confirm if they are real or not. Lastly, i'm blogging about this because i'm very interested in this topic. I hope you enjoy my posts.

This blog is only going to last for 8 weeks because i'm doing this for my creative writing class. So follow it while it's alive, if you want weekly interesting stories on crypto zoo logey.

P.S I hope Mrs.B likes this blog.
