Burney, David A.; Ramilisonina (December 1998). "The Kilopilopitsofy, Kidoky, and Bokyboky: Accounts of Strange Animals from Belo-sur-mer, Madagascar, and the Megafaunal "Extinction Window" ". American Anthropologist. 100 (4): 957–966. doi: 10.1525/aa.1998.100.4.957. ISSN 0002-7294. Anthropologist Jeb J. Card summarizes cryptozoology in a survey of pseudoscience and pseudoarchaeology: Scholars have noted that the cryptozoology subculture rejected mainstream approaches from an early date, and that adherents often express hostility to mainstream science. Scholars have studied cryptozoologists and their influence (including the pseudoscience's association with Young Earth creationism), [1] [2] noted parallels in cryptozoology and other pseudosciences such as ghost hunting and ufology, and highlighted uncritical media propagation of cryptozoologist claims. A journalist coined the term "the Surrey Puma", public imagination was fired and scores of ABCs were reported across south-east England, answering to widely differing descriptions. To give an idea of the scale of this, the day-book of Godalming police station in Surrey listed 362 ABC reports between September 1964 and August 1966. Monogender Monsters: Stag Men are assumed to always be male, to the point where the narration speculates that they procreate through mating with female deer rather than their own kind.
Anachronism Stew: Keen-eared viewers may recognise that some of the information and dates given don't match up with reality. The most egrigous case is that the very word "cryptid" wasn't coined individually until 1983. The Olgoï-Khorkhoï is said to be active during the months of June and July, and reportedly, you don’t even need to touch it to be taken down by the Death worm—it can kill by spitting its toxic, corrosive venom at you, or by hitting you with a bolt of electricity.

ISBN 978-1-4129-4164-8 According to folklore, the spectre haunts the landscapes of East Anglia, primarily coastline, graveyards, sideroads, crossroads, bodies of water and dark forests. W. A. Dutt, in his 1901 Highways & Byways in East Anglia describes the creature thus:
The Altamaha-ha is a river monster, measuring 20 to 30 feet long, with large flippers and a seal-like snout that is said to inhabit the mouth of the Altamaha River near Darien, Georgia. Although numerous accounts of sightings of the Altamaha-ha have apparently been made over the years, the fact that Darien was founded as New Inverness by a band of Scottish Highlanders in 1736 seems to suggest that the legend is probably a descendant of Scots settlers’ tales of the Loch Ness Monster. 4.

In her Encyclopedia of American Folklore, academic Linda Watts says that "folklore concerning unreal animals or beings, sometimes called monsters, is a popular field of inquiry" and describes cryptozoology as an example of "American narrative traditions" that "feature many monsters".

The Loveland Frogman is exactly what it sounds like: a humanoid frog. The creature was first spotted swimming in Ohio’s Little Miami River in 1955. Then, in March 1972, it was seen by Loveland, Ohio, police officers on two separate occasions. The first officer described a 3- to 4-foot-tall creature that weighed 60 pounds with leathery skin and a face like a frog or lizard. The second officer even shot the creature. The Woodwose is a hairy Wild Man that is actually compared to bigfoot come the 70's (the then-present day). However, the series itself bears skepticism towards Bigfoot itself, calling it a film hoax and a man in an ape costume as opposed to a flesh and blood creature, as opposed to the Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane angle it takes to the rest of the series' subjects. Paleontologist Donald Prothero (2007) cites cryptozoology as an example of pseudoscience and categorizes it, along with Holocaust denial and UFO abductions claims, as aspects of American culture that are "clearly baloney".

ISBN 978-1538121214 For what it’s worth, Dr. Charles Goldman, an expert on inland aquatic systems, believes that sightings of lake monsters like Nessie, Tessie, and Ogopogo are actually mirages caused by temperature changes in the deep, cold lakes. Another possible explanation is the very big fish, like sturgeons, that live in those bodies of water. 13. Mokele-mbembe

Watching the skies a little closer to home is Kemper Norton, whose new record Estrenyon is “a concept album about the locations of historic Cornish UFO sightings”. A soothing collection of drones and lilting piano, it boldly includes a 14-minute ambient suite inspired by the flying red boat spotted over Morwenstow in 1888. It’s available from zonawatusa.bandcamp.com. And similarly immersed in rum south-westerly doings are Josh Day-Jones and Emlyn Bainbridge, recording as Orbury Common. Their LP The Traditional Dance of Orbury Common is a splendid mish-mish of hip-hop beats, occult rituals and what sometimes sounds like the local Morris dancers on a boozy all-dayer.

Across the Pacific is the Yeti, a creature native to Asia that first appeared in folk tales told by the Sherpa people. The yeti and the abominable snowman are actually one and the same: The name Abominable Snowman came from a translation error that appeared in a newspaper in 1921.
