I think that there is something to the Lochness Monster- what exactly I don't know- but there is something there. And possibly something to Bigfoot- though I'm abit more skeptical of that one.
As for Mythological creatures, I tend to believe the scientific viewpoint of that. Ancient people discovering bones that were strange & they had no clue about (aka dinosaur bones) arranged them as best they could and created stories about the animal shapes created out of these bones.
Here is a link to an article and a short blurb about the Griffin from it:
Quote: The griffin, a half-eagle, half-lion regal creature, is a mythical beast close to Mayor’s heart; it took her 15 years to figure out that the myth of the griffin was based on unearthed protoceratops bones. The protoceratops was a four-legged, beaked dinosaur with a bony, crowned skull. That bony tiara was very thin and eroded away, leaving what looked like a wing. “When I realized [the griffin] had a beak and four legs, and many dinosaurs had a beak and four legs, I had to trace [the griffin] story back to its origins,” Mayor said. Once she did that, she made two maps, one of where protoceratops bones were found, and one where the stories of the griffins surfaced. And then she laid one on top of the other. Not to her surprise, they lined up.
The article also mentions Cyclops, the Kracken and a short paragraph on Dragons at the end. It's an interesting read if you have time.
Of all the mythical creatures, I would love to believe that Dragons were once real. I'm skeptical of it, but the possibility is always there. smile
