United monsters of America: Infographic shows the location of strange beasts
Ellie Zolfagharifard Daily Mail, UK
From the Jersey Devil to the Mothman, the US is filled with fictional creatures that have come to life in the nation’s imagination.
Now one artist has decided to draw these cryptids by hand, revealing the beasts that are feared the most in each state.
‘The map is a bit of a declaration of optimism and wonderment as to what might be possible on planet Earth,’ artist Mark Adams told Dailymail.com.
Big Bird, for instance, has become notorious in Texas where witnesses have reported seeing an ape faced, winged beast with blood-red eyes.
Reports of the creature hit their peak in the early months of 1976 after a local radio station offered a reward for the beast’s capture.
Louisiana, is famous for the Honey Island Swap Monster
Neighbouring state, Louisiana, is famous for the Honey Island Swap Monster. The creature is 7ft (2 metres) tall, with grey hair, yellow eyes and a foul stench.
Native Americans call this creature ‘Letiche’, and legendary tale suggests the beast came about following a train wreck in the area in the early 20th century.
A travelling circus was on the train, and from it a group of chimpanzees escaped and interbred with the local alligator population, according to the tale.
‘I personally found myself drawn more to the carnivores and predatory cats, beasts like Shunka Warakin and the Ozark Howler,’ said the Philadelphia-based artist.
‘Creatures that likely exist in other less-hostile parts of the world, but for some reason are considered to be too far out to survive in North America.’
Perhaps the most famous of all the legendary beasts in the US is Bigfoot – a large hairy ape man that is alleged by some to live in the forests of the Pacific Northwest.
While Bigfoot is more famous in Washington, last year a large footprint unlike one from a human was in the woods in Mississippi – raising suggestions that the creature it belongs to is Bigfoot.
The large print was found by Peyton Lassiter in Vicksburg on August 12 – nine months after another local man, David Childers, saw a large grey figure running through a wooded area nearby.
The Jersey Devil is most feared in New Jersey
Other monsters in the map include the Mothman in West Virginia, the Jersey devil in New Jersey, the Beast of Busco in Indiana and the Lizard Man of Scape Ore Swap in South Carolina.
‘I love to think that there could be a cougar roaming the mountains of rural Arkansas, or a dire wolf wreaking havoc on the plains of Montana,’ said Mr Adams.
‘This world is an incredibly diverse place full of mystery and magic, and I for one like to think opposable thumbs and the ability to ‘reason’ doesn’t immediately entitle us to a sense of certainty that we’ve got it all figured.’
THE LEGEND OF MOTHMAN
Mothman is a moth-like creature reportedly seen in the Point Pleasant area of West Virginia from 15 November 1966 to 15 December 1967.
Some ufologists, paranormal authors, and cryptozoologists believe that Mothman was an alien, a supernatural manifestation, or an unknown cryptid.
The Native Americans had stories of giant terrible birds called thunderbirds. These thunderbirds could easily swoop down and carry away a man.
In their depictions, they look similar to the descriptions of Mothman.
On November 12, 1966, five men claimed to see a man-like figure fly low from the trees over their heads while digging in a grave. This is often identified as the first known sighting of what became known as the Mothman.

Four friends were scared by a Bigfoot-like creature
A strange creature resembling a Bigfoot scared the inhabitants of the Canadian province of British Columbia. This is reported by the Canadian newspaper The Star.
On the evening of December 25, 2020, four friends driving along the highway near the city of Silverton noticed a huge figure on the side of the road. According to them, she resembled a very large man or a grizzly bear standing on its hind legs. The creature quickly dropped to four legs and disappeared into the thickets. Friends stopped the car, photographed his footprints and sent the pictures to cryptozoologists looking for Bigfoot.
We found a wide variety of tracks, and some looked especially disturbing. These were the footprints of a two-legged creature leading into the forest in a straight line. I was a little scared when I saw their size. And they were definitely not bear paws, Erica Spink-D’Souza, an eyewitness said.
According to the head of Bigfoot Field Research Group and the host of the program “Finding Bigfoot” on Animal Planet, Matt Moneymaker, forgery or pranking is out of the question.
“The untouched snow surrounding the footprints proves that the footprints are not fabricated by humans,” he explains. – The length of the stride exceeds the capabilities of a person trying to move through snowdrifts up to the knee. The traces of the dragging and the depth show that the jumping hare could not have left them. The linear nature of the tracks indicates that it was not a bear.”
Ten days after the observation, a group of cryptozoologists from Okanagan visited the scene. They examined the tracks and concluded that a moose could have left them.
“Eyewitnesses could see a large elk looking ahead and mistake her for a humanoid figure,” says Moneymaker.
At the same time, he notes that moose tracks are not enough for the final conclusion.
In 2018, it was reported that a resident of the American state of Montana went into the forest and almost died from a bullet from a Bigfoot hunter.
“If I see something that looks like Bigfoot, then I just shoot him,” he explained.

Scientist finds polar bear DNA in Bigfoot
British scientists examined yeti DNA and found a strong similarity to polar bear DNA. For analysis, they took the wool of a creature that was killed by a hunter in the Himalayas 30 years ago.
Brian Sykes, a geneticist at the University of Oxford, examined the DNA of the Bigfoot Yeti and found similarities to the DNA of a polar bear, according to Daily Star.
For analysis, Sykes took the wool of a creature killed by a hunter in the Himalayas 30 years ago, from which they made a stuffed animal. The result showed a match with the DNA of an ancient polar bear that became extinct at least 40,000 years ago. The geneticist suggests that the Yeti is a hybrid of a brown bear and a polar bear that arrived in the mountain range from the Arctic north many years ago. For this reason, it behaves differently from an animal of this species.
Now the professor wants to obtain samples of Bigfoot hair from all over the world in order to subject them to the most difficult DNA tests and continue research in this direction.
In 2019, the FBI released documents revealing the results of analysis of hair and biologic tissue allegedly belonging to Bigfoot. The samples were sent in 1976 by yeti hunter Peter Byrne. Research results showed that they belonged to a deer.
Bigfoot is a large humanoid creature from modern folklore, which is believed to live in forest or mountain areas that are inaccessible to humans. It is believed that it is an ancient hominid that has survived to our time, but scientists are skeptical about the likelihood of its existence. In particular, all cases of its observation or possible traces are explained by hoax or mistaken recognition of animal tracks.
When was the last time a Bigfoot was seen?
In 2020, the appearance of Bigfoot was noted in Australia, the relic forests of Canada, in the west of the USA, in the north of Scandinavia.
In the spurs of the Himalayas, wild hairy people of small stature were seen, resembling a Flores man (fossil dwarf species of people. Also known as the “hobbit” by analogy with the creatures invented by J. Tolkien. – Ed.).
In October, locals informed that in the jungle of Africa, in the Congo region, there is an upright creature similar to a Yeti.
Traces of Bigfoot, his refuge are regularly found in Komi. Yeti visits have recently been reported from eyewitnesses from the Karelian Isthmus and the border zone near Vyborg, where there are dungeons and a huge bunker near an abandoned military airfield.

Strange photo was taken by tourists near Loch Ness
Inverness, December 23. A new photograph of a mysterious creature “the size of a very large seal” in Loch Ness has been announced as another official sighting of the Loch Ness monster.
Tourist Karen Scott, returning from Aberdeen, noticed a strange creature in the Scottish Loch Ness. The woman managed to capture her observation in the photo. At first, Scott took what he saw for a big bird, she admitted to reporters. According to the traveler, while she took out the camera, the mysterious creature managed to submerge itself under the water.
“By the time I turned on the camera on my phone, it was slowly submerged under the water and then reappeared at a short distance,” she shared.
Scott and her friend compared the creature they saw to a large seal, but workers at the lake have denied this assumption. According to experts, seals rarely get that far into Loch Ness.
The tourist flow to these places in 2020 was much lower than in previous years due to the coronavirus pandemic, experts studying Nessie noted. Despite this circumstance, during this year, travelers recorded a large amount of evidence of the existence of the Loch Ness monster, scientists were surprised.
