There is an opinion that they do not exist in nature. But some of us met with them. Bigfoot, Loch Ness Monster, Jersey Devil - they are all called cryptids. Semi-mythical monsters that can kill
1. Mongolian death worm
This huge worm, 2 to 4 feet long, is believed to live in the Gobi Desert. The locals call it "allghoi", which means "a worm that resembles intestines filled with blood." On contact, the worm can kill with its yellow poison. It is said that he can kill from a distance with a force similar to an electric shock. The worm is especially active in June and July. If suddenly you find yourself in the Gobi Desert at this time, do not wear yellow clothes, as this color is especially attractive to the death worm.
2. The Bray Street Monster
If in Elkhorn, Wisconsin, you see something that looks like a Bigfoot or a huge wolf walking on its hind legs, you should know it's a Bray Street monster. Most likely it will not kill you: they say that this half-human half-wolf kills only small animals and deer. Still, I would not advise you to try his patience.
3. The Beast of Jordan
According to legend, this French cryptid killed about 60-100 people in the period from 1764 to 1767. Eyewitnesses said that it was a cow-sized monster with a long lion-like tail, red hair and a head with small pointed ears and sharp fangs. King Lewis XV sent hunters to kill the beast. In September 1765, hunters killed an abnormally large wolf, but attacks on humans did not stop. Another huge creature was killed in June 1767. When his stomach was ripped open, the remains of a little girl were found inside. Since then, the strange attacks on people have stopped. The question remained - what kind of animal was it?
4. Dragon from Lake Brosno
They say the monster has been living in Lake Brosno in the Russian city of Novgorod since the 13th century. This monster ate the soldiers and horses of Batu Khan (Genghis Khan's grandson) when the soldiers tried to water the horses from the lake. According to legend, Batu Khan was so scared that he deployed his army and left Novgorod. Today, many do not believe in the existence of this monster and some believe that the mutant beaver was mistaken for the monster. The bubbles on the surface of the lake really give the impression that something huge is moving underwater. In fact, according to scientists, the bubbles are formed by gas coming from the bottom of the lake.
5. Jersey
Devil This Devil is said to have been born in the 18th century. According to legend, a resident of Jersey … decided to give birth to a child from the devil. So we got a kind of primate with fangs, tail and hooves. The devil came out and began to terrorize dogs and people. A special peak of terror came at the very beginning of the twentieth century. Who the terrifying creature was in reality, history is silent.
6. Dobharchu
A traditional Irish ballad about the events of September 24, 1722 says: Grandma Ni Conalai went to Lake Glenade for a swim and never returned. The husband went to look for her and found the distorted body of his murdered wife near the water, a huge monster was sleeping nearby, a cross between an otter and a dog. The husband called his brother, they came to the lake together and killed the monster, stabbing him in the heart. Before his death, the monster made a whistle, with which he allegedly called his relatives to take revenge. True, since then, no one has seen such monsters in the lake.

7. Monster Pop Lick
The monster was spotted on the narrow Pope Lick Creek Bridge near Louisville, Kentucky. The half-man half-goat kills people in one of two ways: either he is so terrible that people, upon meeting him, jump from the bridge and crash to death, or he hypnotizes the victim and throws it off the bridge himself. The monster may be fictional, but a large number of tragic deaths are actually recorded in the area.
8. Kikyaon
As they say, this creature lives in West Africa, resembles an owl … an owl with very sharp claws and a deadly beak. The piercing cry of this bird has a suffocating effect. If you see a bird and hide from it, do not rush to thank fate, the bird's cry kills slowly but surely.
9. Moth Man
If you've watched the movie of the same name, then you know what it is about. The Moth Man is a creature that looks like a human with giant wings on its back. He was first spotted by a couple of lovers in West Virginia at night. A year later, he appeared to many people. Just over a year after the moth first appeared, the Silver Bridge on the Ohio River collapsed, killing 46 people. Since then, no one has seen the moth man. It is not known whether the moth tried to warn people about the tragedy or whether he was the culprit. The fact is that there is a statue of a moth-man in the city of Point Pleasant in West Virginia, and in September the sixth festival dedicated to this creature was held.
