People scoff at the idea of Sasquatch (also known as Bigfoot or Yeti) but if there wasn't a seed of truth to the legend, why would we find such a creature referred to in Native American mythology as well as several others throughout the world? I don't spend my life searching for proof but I do watch and read avidly when others chase the creature.
I find this sort of thing interesting, too. I wouldn't say I follow myth hunters avidly as they search, but I do like check out the odd documentation that comes my way. The Loch Ness monster is my number one fav.
Myrddin, I also love to hear new things about old Nessie. I mean, I definitely don't believe it's a sea monster, as such. But Loch Ness is super deep, almost like the ocean. They still haven't explored the entire bottom so who knows what sort of mutation or throwback species could be hiding in her depths?
