Do you believe in "Magical Creatures"?

[Whitelionesseyes]

Uff, after all that I have experienced that I know people on this forum wouldn't believe, oh yeah, I believe a 100% on magical creatures. My life has been anything, but normal, logical or "schemed". And look at me now

I do believe dragons excisted. does that sound stupid and make me a dumbass? most likely.. but not if you realize dinosaurs were maybe called dragons before Sir Richard Owen named them dinosauria in 1842.

Idk, I think a lot of the mythological creatures are anomalies in nature or tricks of the eye. The thing that interests me the most though, are dragons. I'm not sure if this is correct (I'll have to do a little research later on), but I feel like I once learned that many civilizations that had no contact with each other all had their own version of a dragon-like creature, or something similar.
UFOs, I have no idea. Space is big. You'd think with all the sightings, there'd have been contact by now.
They're fun to speculate on though, you can't deny that!

I don't believe in the majority of them, but there are a couple I'm not sure of, like big sea creatures like Loch Ness monster, bigfoot, and aliens.

So many people have seen bigfoot like creatures, that there has to be something. What are the odds that all of them were people in costumes?

I'm not sure about big sea creatures. There were those pictures, but they might have been disproven. I just don't know.

As for aliens, it's hard to believe that we are the only planet with life. There are so many. I thought I heard once that they found little microorganism things on another planet, but I might be wrong, but it wouldn't surprise me if there were I guess. I'm just not sure about full sized stereotypical green aliens, or whatever.

There are a lot of things in nature and science that we don't understand yet. Just think of all of the things we thought way back then about our planet, curing diseases, and other stuff. I personally believe we will find out the truth sometime, or at least closer to the truth.

Pretty slim. The chances are a bit higher, however, that people simply mistook any number of wildlife in a particular area and let their superstitious beliefs get the better of their senses. How many stories do you see where someone honestly goes out with the mindset, "Bigfoot does NOT exist", and then make a "sighting" and actively change their mindset to, "Wow. I saw Bigfoot. He exists. I have to find him."

It happens almost exclusively the other way around. People who already believe that there are supernatural creatures out there, hear second-hand that there's something out there, and they go, "Ohmygoshohmygosh I KNEW IT!" And then they go out, hear a strange noise in a tree, or see some random animal darting out of the way when they come tromping through the woods in their backyard, get freaked out, and go, "IT WAS BIGFOOT. I KNOW IT."

Aliens are on a completely separate level. Considering the sheer size of our universe, it's extremely arrogant to think that the little hunk of rock we're living on is the only place that is fit for life. There are almost undoubtedly other places in some distant galaxies where life has sprung up, much as it has here on Earth. Do we have evidence of it? Not at all. But we can be reasonable sure, from a purely statistical standpoint, that there is somewhere else out there that can support and is supporting life of some kind.

Bigfoot, on the other hand, is confined to small areas of land here on Earth. Areas that have been searched top and bottom, over and over again, for many many years. If such things did exist, we'd have found more solid evidence for them than claims of "sightings" or blurred images of friends in costumes from people with no link to the scientific community whatsoever beyond a class or two in high school.

I definately believe in things like the loch ness monster. even though there isn't much physical evidence, there are too many eyewitnesses. true, many of them may be liars. but does that mean all of them are liars? also, most of these eye-witnesses usally discribe the creature with the same look and color. But the reason nessie isn't seen or heared about anymore, is most likely because he/she died, or the species died, or left the loch. after all, the loch ness is connected to the sea.
