    I'd love for you to come to Vancouver Island and do a Sasquatch search. I've lived here for over 20 years, am an avid outdoorsman and spend months every summer and fall off-the-grid, deep in the rain forest.
    It isn't even that I believe in bigfoot, but I do find it remotely plausible. Based entirely upon the fact that we have a large, healthy cougar population, and in all my years here, have only ever seen one once. One other time, I jumped off a fallen tree into some grasses, heading out fishing, and a cougar was within 10 feet. I never saw it, but it made a yowling noise I'll never forget, and then I just heard the grasses whooshing as it took off. I've never found skeletons, and only rarely find tracks or droppings.
    If a wild animal with just slightly more intelligence than a cougar lives here...well...it would just never be found, and only very rarely sighted. Like the Sasquatch seems to be.

    • @SurfingTheSoundwaves

      I didn't say a hunting cougar. I said a cougar. Period. Nice little deception there. I really am from a place with a large population, and obviously I know it is pointless even worrying about a cougar when I'm out in the bush or fishing the rivers. If it wants to get me, I will never see it coming.
      The one I saw was just calmly crossing the road 35 or 40 meters ahead of my car, early in the morning.

      And a couple of these cryptids have actually been found. One example is the mountain man of the highlands in Africa that was actually found and is the animal we now know as the gorilla. Another example is the cryptid that was described as a forest giraffe with a short neck. That cryptid was discovered and is now known as the okapi. Both of these were briefly mentioned by Forrest in this video, but both were originally cryptids.

The frilled shark is another. Komodo Dragon is another. Another example is the Bondegezou, which was said to be an ancestral spirit of the Moni people in Western Papua. Turns out a scientist discovered it and it's a species of tree kangaroo. So, there have been many cryptids that have been formally recognised by science.

      ​@@promontorium, That's not quite true. An underwater cave system that connects the two was found. Discovered by sonar tracking "something big" that just suddenly disappeared. Upon dive team investigation the caves opening was found. Further searches found huge underground, air filled chambers that had underwater entrances leading both in & out of these chambers w huge, fresh " dinosaur" tracks leading into & out of the various openings. Once discovered the search teams were banned & the local govt hushed everything up. There are also reports of gigantic tunnel systems that form a grid work under the crust of the entire planet connecting every continent with walls harder than diamonds obviously made by some NON human entities w a tech so advanced we can't even come close to replicating it. Our military has secret underground city's installed in these caves, theoretically working with non human entities for their tech. Antarctica is just one of these bases. They're global. Even the Bible tells of non human entities interacting w humanity. The nephelium & giants came from these cross breeds. Bible just called them " Angels & demons." Fallen angels who rebelled against God & are now trapped & imprisoned on earth. Entities who can shapeshift into any form they want to hide among us in plane sight. Washington D.C. is full of these evil entities. God hating pig demons wearing human suits.

When we asked why, she said she heard something howl in the woods behind the house one night and it scared her. She said she had never heard anything like that before.

    An interesting theory about the Loch Ness monster being Whales or Greenland Sharks but Loch Ness is a freshwater loch and has a couple of wiers (low-head dams) downstream making it impossible for a Shark or Whale to make it as far as the loch. I think Seals or debris is the most likely answer. Great video as always Forrest, looking forward to the next one!!

    About Chupacabra:
    a) Madeleine Tolentino was not one of the first witness, she actualy was one of the last when the Chupacabra attacked in Puerto Rico, the reports came from at least one year before she even was known and her testimony has always been tainted due to that species movie. Well, she is an "early" witness if, and only if you count the reports outside Puerto Rico, but that was more likely mass histeria.
    b) About necropsies. Is not clear: They where done by both, public and private entities wich obviously contradicted each other, however they did found no blood sucking was performed. Still, something killed those animals, public entitie blamed dogs but no evidence of canine attacks where found.
    c) About the Chupacabra going international: NO. The chupacabra was just a Puerto Rico thing wich lasted for about 1 or 2 years. The world has claimed they´ve seen it in the U.S and every country in the americas, even as far as Russia, but the reports of clearly manged dogs, coyote or foxes do not match. however, is the international chupacabra what keeps the fire going despise the original cryptid disappering almost 3o years ago.
    d) In Puerto rico: It was not the first time, they had the vampire of mocca in the 70´s and it was doing the exact same thing as whatever the chupacabras was, just the media did not covered it.
    Now. I´m not claiming the Chupacabras is real, as a matter of fact, out of the many modern cryptids a kangaroo like reptile is in the more unlikely spectre. But the reasons people debunk this cryptid are also wrong. Truth is, something in puerto rico killed hundreds of animals in the 70´s and did it again in the 90´s, no blood sucking done though, no noise or struggle either, so Dogs are ruled out. So what killed them? Well, very likely to be humans themselves.

    In terms of Loch ness monster type animals i have seen similar in Canada. I spend a lot of time on the water fishing and over more than forty years i have seen five sightings. Two were atypical water disturbances, three were actual sightings . Six if i count a very large sonar contact. The best sighting i had was a long neck bent in a swan configuration. Animal was black, eyes were shiny like a walleyes, teeth appeared conical like a dolphin. Inside of the mouth was red. Looked like it was trying to eat a bird out of a tree next to the lake. Neck was long , more than six feet. You can doubt until you actually see something and i am very familiar with most fish so it wasn't that.

    I personally think it is a giant eel. The environmental DNA from the lochness suggests eels. Plus even now we don't even really know all of eels reproduction cycle, but if I recall correctly they way eels grow is kinda like Axolttles if a certain environmental trigger doesn't get met it can cause them to grow an adapt differently.
    If the eels can't get out of lochness to head to the sargaso sea then this trigger what ever part of their growth cycle to make them keep growing. Thus giant eels.

    Most long, narrow, deep landlocked lakes have similar legends. One of the most likely theories - vegetation sinks to the bottom, which is an anaerobic environment, where methane forms. When it bubbles up it sometimes pushes such things as tree trunks to the surface at speed. You see a tree trun with a branch speeding along just under the water’s surface you ARE going to think ‘sea monster’ !

      I'd say Bigfoot is an Ape in the middle of becoming Human. That or it was on the way but stopped in the middle and thats why there only legends of it. Not saying there are a ton out there, or that we were once Big Foots. But in the grand scheme of long-term evolution I wouldn't be surprised if there is an Ape species out there thats half as intelligent as humans but still as animalistically attuned to nature as most animals are. I don't see why it isn't possible and theres also a story from Military operations in the Middle East where a platoon fought a giant Ape man. That story helps me think maybe there were more Big Foot like creatures and as time has gone on they've died out, been killed in a more distant past and/or have learned to steer clear of their "civilized" Human cousins

    To my understanding, Mokele-mbembe is not usually described as having a horn. The body shape and the behaviors such as being aggressive, mostly aquatic and prone to digging into muddy banks are commonly described. It is also said to sometimes have a frill on its neck, appear reptilian and have large, clawed feet. While it has been reported to have the shape of a sauropod, the shape of any sighting is always up for a bit of interpretation. A drawing of a Brontosaurus is not all that different in shape from a drawing of a turtle. All of this sounds like a giant soft-shell turtle, such as Rafetus swinhoei. Perhaps there is a similar, but undiscovered, species living in Congo.

    I think Nessie WAS real, but to say she's still alive hundreds of years after the original sighting is insane. Nobody wants to think about the fact that Nessie still being alive implies two things:
    1. There's a breeding population of massive dinosaurs living in a relatively small area that absolutely Nobody has ever seen a single fragment of past a wave/head.
    2. Dinosaurs are in fact immortal and can live for thousands of years.

      There is so much wrong with your second point. If an organism lives for thousands of years, it isn't immortal, it is still mortal, just long living. Immortal means it cannot die. The Immortal Jellyfish is in fact immortal. Also, Loch Ness has been thoroughly explored over decades, every millimetre of the Loch and below the surface has been explored. So no, there is no cryptid called Loch Ness monster. It is not a plesiosaur. There may be other explanations or it may be all one big hoax.

    About 1900 an elephant hunter john Alfred Jordan shot a creature in the Maggori River, East side of Lake Victoria. It wasn't recovered but he gave a good description. Crocodile like big & long with similar feet, pretty scales like an Arab Cuirass & leopard, rounded head & large fangs, broad like a hippo. The Kavirondo had a legend of the "Dingoek", & his Lumbwa boys were as unfamiliar with it as himself. So whether it was a hoax or something unknown is debatable. This hunter was among the first whites into many places, and his descriptions were good. He hunted Bongo & Okapi when they were rumours, and described herds of 1000 elephants, so had first-hand experience of the mysteries of Africa.
    It was a notably different description to the Congo cryptid, & he frequented that area also without mentioning the latter.

    I believe in the mythical creature and this is why. One night my sister and I went for night walk outside our apartment. Coming around the building towards the parking lot we saw something odd. A pack of 5 dogs eating something of parking lot. When we got closer we noticed that those were not dogs. They had a odd shape to them. The fur was short and bright blood red with black tiger strips starting behind their shoulders down their back to their tail. Their body was slender with very long leg, a skiny tail, and fox like ears, and coyote head. Then the 5 raised their heads and all looked at us. That is when we noticed what they were hellhounds, their glowing red eyes. We looked at each other and ran to the light near by. Standing by the light pose. The hellhounds cry when the light hit them. Then the light begin to flicker, and the hellhounds circle aroung us. When the light died we ran to the building and back to our apartment. In the morning the police were here begging up the torn clothes on the parking lot and the clothes in 1 of the apartment that was found open and picture of the odd claw mark on the door and other sign inside the apartment. All we heard was a men and woman came up missing with wild animals could be the cause.
