Thanks for this goes to Darkmatters and Darkk, because Darkk mentioned something about creatures being mentioned in the Bible, making me mention Nessie, and Darkmatters commented on that too, and so it goes

So, here's what I think. Our world is a big place. It was just on the news not to long ago that we discovered a new ANIMAL that resembles a raccoon or something. Before that, there was the arctic crab that had fur! We are constantly discovering new types of sea creatures, insects, and occasionally animals. With that being said, why do so many find the idea of a creature like Bigfoot or the Loch Ness Monster to be so far out there? Remember, there was a time when the giant squid was considered legend, but now we've proven they exist.

I'm not saying there are monsters out there; we just label things like Nessie and Bigfoot as monsters, when in reality, if they do exist they are some sort of animal. Nessie could be a prehistoric sea creature we thought extinct. It wasn't so long ago that scientists discovered a fish that we thought to be extinct, still alive and swimming around. So it's possible. Bigfoot could be a species of ape or monkey that we have yet to discover.

Darmatters pointed out that the "original" Bigfoot video everyone likes to point to as evidence that the creature exists was hoaxed--the people who supposedly made it came forward and told how they did it (this was in a different thread about religion). I would like to point out that there's been sightings of Bigfoot for hundreds of years or more, so just because the first video was proven to be a hoax doesn't mean that the creature itself is. The same can be said of UFO's--even a couple of our founding fathers had claimed to see flying objects in the sky (and this was before there were planes floating around out there, before the Air Force and experimental aircraft). And there've been reports of UFO's long before them too; so proving the first or earliest video evidence false doesn't prove the idea false.

What do you think? Could these creatures possibly exist, or do you think they're all hoaxes--or maybe you have an alternate explanation that hasn't yet come up?
