OK, I'll reply first again:

I'd be very happy if the creature was a Plesiosaur. I want to believe that it did exist but my head tells me that even if it did, it is now gone- dwindling mating territories & Old age, see.

I got told about a 'historical record' written by Caesars' troops in Africa who came across a 30 foot lizard and killed it with arrows. Again, I like to assume that this was a Dinosaur. I've never found an Archaeologist who knows about this record and have never seen or heard it mentioned anywhere outside of a Pub chat, but in their defense, there are few Archaeologists in SE Europe who specialize in pre paleolithic human periods as most Mediterranean governments preserve these finds as Heritage and don't dig deeper than that layer.

However, there are lakes ALL OVER Europe which are called 'Dragon Lakes'. There's one within 60km of where I live (Google 'Drakolimni' if you wish) . It's on top of a Mountain (called Strakka). A Historical Geologist I once spoke to about it said that the Mountain is interesting because it looks just like a Volcano plug, but is missing the Volcano. Also, it is reported to have a Glacier in it from the last Ice age, which feeds the wellsprings of the river Voidomatis in the Vikos Gorge. A Belgian survey team tried to measure the depth of the lake (altitude 2222 above Sea Level) in the early 80s, according to my Old Dad but they didn't succeed in hitting the lake bottom.I think they tried with a Helicopter & a giant reel. Obviously, there is zero sign of a Dragon there.

Interesting enough. But keep in mind that a whole lot of people didnt really believe in the giant squid until a couple years ago. Also, it is said that 85% of our earth remains un explored and un discovered. You never do know what lurks down there. New species are found every day.

Yeah, but that's hardly paranormal. It goes right back to my original point in trhis thread; once discovered / explained... You can drop the 'para-', 'crypto-' and whatever the hell you can write in front of stuff simply not commonly known.

Yeah, so the undiscovered things shall continue to be intriguing.

Yeah, I think creatures like the Loch Ness Monster could easily exist. New things are discovered all the time. As for aliens, I'm not too sure, but I'm not opposed to believing that they also could exist.

Now... ghosts. Again, I'm not 100% sure, but unless I'm just messed up in the head somehow (which could definitely be the case), I've seen something like them before, and so have several of my closest friends. Personally, I would say it's demons (I do believe in those). I'm a Christian, so I've looked around in the Bible for anything concerning "ghosts", and the best thing I've come up with so far is demons. I don't believe that they can physically harm me, but that they can make their presence known, and are more likely to do so in times of uncertainty or tumult. I myself have always felt like I've been followed by a specific entity who has looked the same every time I've seen it. I swear I've seen it in dreams, outside windows and in mirrors at night, as well as in broad daylight, just meandering around in my home.

Here's where it gets childish and stupid sounding. It has always looked like a clown, but I have no fear of clowns, so I don't believe a phobia would be a proper explanation for its appearance. If I'm dreaming, it always hides somewhere off to the side, and tries to get my attention. If I ever turn to look at it, the dream immediately turns into a nightmare. If I see it outside of a dream, it just grins and sends a chill down my spine. It only goes away if I walk into another room and then return. I honestly can't think of a very good way to explain it.

Coming back to the whole "monster" thing, I believe dinosaurs existed at one time, and surely there are a couple of them that have survived. Other species have been believed to be extinct, and then shown up again years later, so it's possible. As for creatures like Bigfoot, I'm not sure. I've heard a lot of stories around here (I live in Tennessee, so I'm surrounded by mountains and wooded areas), but I've never actually seen anything myself.

First thing. GET A **** PRIEST.
Secondly, Dinosaurs DID roam the land. And alot of them died off. But a large group survived, and evolved. Today, they are known as Birds.
Lastly, SERIOUSLY, PRIEST.

The giant squid isn't at all comparable since we've had actual, physical proof of them for quite some time. Moses Harvey preserved and photographed a corpse of one way back in 1873.
The same is not true of most modern cryptids.

Well, actually, it is. Alot of people did'nt believe that photo was real until proven otherwise. Look at all the cryptography that's out now. a good lot of it's fake as hollywood, but there are some that have baffled the minds of scientists and people everywere for years.

As long as it doesn't start trying to carry on a conversation, I'm good!
