Young children understand perfectly well that a monster is exactly the creature from which it is better to stay away. In adults, for some reason, such a rational trait dies away: people are ready to cross to another continent, just to get a chance to see at least a piece of wool of some legendary creature.
There are quite a few fans of theories about alien conspiracies and mythical creatures that have flooded our forests. They are not embarrassed by the fact that all the evidence is often reduced to a roll of grain film and short clips, in which strange shadows contrast with the subtle movements of animals. Before you are the seven main mythical creatures of the world, the fruitless hunt for which has been going on for a hundred years.
Bigfoot. North America
Bigfoot is the most famous mythical monster in all of North America. Eyewitnesses (sic!) Claim that this humanoid prefers to live in forests and does not really like to be shown to people - this, in fact, explains the rare Bigfoot footage on film. Four times a year, that is, every season, hundreds of people unite in giant expeditions: they comb the most distant parts of the forests, trying to find at least one trace of this mythical creature. Some find it.
Loch Ness monster. Scotland

The Loch Ness monster has been searched for for more than two centuries. Occasionally, a giant lizard (this is how they describe) the monster by witnesses was able to capture on film. Some of them were not even found to be 100% fake. Any monster hunter should go in search of Nessie - this is a kind of Holy Grail, to which everyone wants to make a pilgrimage. This October, a team of enthusiasts are going to arrange a charity marathon around the lake: whoever manages to take a selfie with Nessie will receive a whopping $ 75,000.
Ningen. Antarctic
This white creature can reach as much as 30 meters in length. Some describe the ningen as a completely humanoid entity, with arms, legs, and fingers. Others claim that the ningen looks more like a mermaid and has a fish tail instead of legs. Both are firmly convinced that the ningen can exist both on land and in the water, and at night it attacks sailors' parking.
Mongolian death worm. Gobi Desert
This eerie inhabitant of the southern tip of the Gobi Desert is not very large and only grows up to a couple of meters maximum. But the Death Worm does not depend on its size: the glands located at its mouth are able to secrete acid and electric current at the same time. A real find for police units! Enterprising locals lead excursions to the places of the supposed habitat of the worm.
Skunk Ape. Florida
Perhaps the most boring mythical creature in the world - Americans, nevertheless, have never had a good fantasy. Skunk Ape, a stinking monkey, differs from its congeners only in its large size and smell that can kill on the spot anyone who approaches a couple of meters. However, not a single victim from this person was ever found.
Chupacabra. South America
From the Mexican Chupacabra can be translated as "sucking blood from goats." Local peasants attributed any loss of livestock to the invasion of the Chupacabra. Outwardly, it is described in different ways. There is mention of a lizard, the size of a bear, there is also talk of coyotes, with teeth like a cobra. Needless to say, no one has ever seen either one or the other?
Yeti. Himalayas
Essentially, the Yeti is the closest relative of Bigfoot, preferring the icy ledges of the Himalayan mountains to the cozy forests of North America. The first mention of the Yeti dates back to 300 BC, however, this monster gained popularity only in the 20th century, along with the development of mountaineering.
