I was just curious about which cryptid is the most believed in. Pick which one you most think is real and/or believe in. I think I listed most of the major cryptids, if not you'll just have to use the Other choice.

It's definitely between Bigfoot and Nessie.

I chose Bigfoot, on the count that there is much more evidence.

Exactly the same as JayMan for me.

there's a book called "a fish caught in time" about the coelocanth. within this book, where they are talking about bathyscapes, they mention going deep in the ocean. they saw a creature that was about 20 feet wide, and much longer.

that's the area we really haven't explored.

that's the area i'm sure our next true cryptid will come from.

by the way, the book is a pretty good one.

Gotta go with the hairy hominid.... Bigfoot


Lapi'che

I said sea monsters.
Question! What's a Bunyip and how do you pronounce it?

l agree with jayman,indeed,piney
l belive more in bigfoot.

You pronounce it as Bun-yip.

Thank ye very much

I believe more in "sea monsters". We're constantly learning what's under the surface, and also look at all the possible hiding spots. Trying to find one creature in the Pacific alone would be a futile effort.

Dragons, of course, more people believe in them alone, than every other cryptid put together, and not only now, but for 5,000 years of recorded history, and untold thousands of more years as effigies and petroglyphs prove. They are part of virtually every human faith as well so we are talking about billions of people, just today, and virtually everyone in the world believed in them prior to 300 years ago.

Thunderbirds, sea serpents, lake monsters, etc virtually always stem from original dragon legends as well.

A common link in virtually all of these stories it that this cryptid is as intelligent or more so than humans themselves, and possess inexplicable, supernatural abilitilies, which, (if there is any truth to 5000 years of recorded sightings), might explain why they can remain so elusive.

to add to Indeed said, Bunyips come in different forms...

i would have to say sea monsters...so much of our oceans are unexplored

Bigfoot was my choice. Then it would be sea monsters. Nessie, loch ness is to small, has been searched countless times and it doesn't have enough food supply. How can it exist.

It could exist if it were a dragon and leaves the loch when there are too many searchers bothering it. This would explain all of the sightings despite no sonor detections. Below the often-view head, obscured by the water, could be a pair of folded wings!

Just because it is a part of a culture does not mean the actual people believe that they are living beings. I never met anyone in my whole life that would consider the dragon a real creature.

How about most of the population of Asia, and most people who believe in the Bible, since dragons are mentioned there. Loads of "new age'/pagan types as well. I think 2 billion would be a very conservative estimate.

Primitive cultures will believe in anything. It would be fun to see how many people in the US and Europe believe in your dragon nonsense.

all cultures can be considered "primitive" even ours, besides there are people who still believe dragons are either real or were real. to say "primitive" cultures will believe anything, tell that to the aborigines or the american indians, what you said is the most victorian statement made to date. get real and wake up to reality, research before you speak like that first.

You are the one believing in fantastical creatures with no proof. Its a bird, its a plane, no its super dragon.

please don't be a smart-@$$, do you believe in bigfoot, if so you are believing in a creature that many say doesn't exist, so right back at ya.

Once again from the other post. No, I do not believe in bigfoot. No proof. Sorry Charlie. No dragons for you.

believe what you will, i will believe what i do.

Good for you. The force is strong in this one.

are we settled then?

I think he is just mad DW, that my resarch has revealed that the Biblical "Satan" is a Seraphim dragon, and not the stereotypical horned human "devil" with pitchfork that he portrays as his avatar. He's obviously suffering from a traumatic identity crisis.

lmao, maybe, but his "primitive" statement was so victorian in origin and thought, thanks DC, smart you are. I knew the dif between Satan and Lucifer when i was a mere kid, glad i am no christian

I chose bigfoot as they aremore prevalent that ony other cryptid, wih the possible exception of lake monsters.

It is quite possible hat they do exist and are in fact the altered descendants of neandethal man.

I really thought Nessie would win this one. Guess I was wrong, eh?

I picked Bigfoot, because I would imagine that by now we would of found a Lake Monster. The way I see it is that Bigfoot has a much larger hiding place then Nessie.
