Cryptozoology

The Jersey Devil – American Folklore? Or Unknown Species?

Whether it is accounts of Bigfoot, legends of huge monstrous sea creatures, or bizarre entities bordering on the paranormal such as the Mothman, our world is full of strange creatures that, to many people, belong in tales of folklore and legend.
