Anointed a Cryptozoologist
The most common definition that I have seen on “cryptozoology” is the pseudoscience that studies the existence of unproven or unsubstantiated creatures. Furthermore, a partial list of creatures falling under this pseudoscience would include:
- Bigfoot – mostly reported in the US and Canada
- Yeti – kind of like Bigfoot, but white and mostly reported near Himalayan mountains
- Mothman – most common accounts are from Point Pleasant, West Virginia https://travelingwithpt.com/point-pleasant-wv/
- New Jersey Devil – strange little creature reported in southern New Jersey and Philadelphia area
- Chupacabra – nasty dog like thing mostly around sourthern USA and Central/Southern America
- Loch Ness monster – of course, Scotland’s favorite sea monster of Loch Ness
Fortunately, you can not get a PhD or any accredited degree in cryptozoology. Furthermore, I think we are on the honor system to determine your professional status in the field. As such, I have already traveled to Point Pleasant, WV, to do a post on Mothman (check out link above). Secondly, in the past 6 months, I have visited the International Cryptozoology Museum in Portland, Maine. Finally, I have also visited one of the premier Bigfoot research centers in Georgia. Certainly, my cryptozoological credentials are noteworthy. Therefore, I think its clearly appropriate that I should be anointed a Cryptozoologist.
Now, as the foremost Cryptozoologist in my neighborhood, I urge you not to miss this Saturday’s post. We will start our cryptozoological series with the most American of all crypto creatures…BIGFOOT. Are you willing to believe? PT
Mothman Chupacabra? Future post? New Jersey devil? Future post?
