Do or have mythical creatures like the loch ness monster or the Yeti exist?

Question

I think there is compelling evidence for and against.

Answer 1

They have found fish that were thought to be extinct a million or more years ago.... so why not? Here's a question though, the fish that they found, is it a new species or is it that they had just moved to way deeper waters????? Hmmmm?

Answer 2

I believe that anyone who doesn't at least acknowledge the possibility of the existence of these creatures is very close-minded.

Answer 3

There's plenty of evidence against not much for though.I say that with some regret because I'd like very much to be wrong.With all the equipment available these days if they were there we'd know.The closest thing would be the recent photos of Giant Squid.They weren't mythical.We did know they existed, having found bodies.They weren't seen alive or photographed until the last few years.

Answer 4

this question belongs in zoology. Crypto-zoology to be specific. A mythical creature would be a Unicorn, or an Elf. you can place it in here of course, but theres nothing paranormal about Big Foot or Loch Ness.

Answer 5

I've never seen the Loch Ness Monster(s), or the Yeti; nor do I know any else who ever has. But my older brother was one of the biggest skeptics on the planet - until he actually saw a Sasquatch during a deer-hunting trip up in the mountains in northern CA with a friend of his (his former cop partner). They came through the trees into a clearing, and it was standing on the other side of the clearing, about 30 feet away from them, watching them watching it. After a few minutes, it turned and disappeared into the trees. They crossed the clearing to where it had been standing, and they could still smell it; my brother told me it reeked like nothing else he'd ever smelled. But to this day, he still doesn't like talking about it. (I was able to get the story out of him only once, years later.)

My brother is an ex-cop; he wasn't joking when he told me about it, and he'd have no reason to lie about something like that. (The experience shook him up so badly, he couldn't even tell his wife what had happened until a few months later.) And he wasn't "seeing things".

(My husband thinks my brother and his friend should have shot it dead and brought back a hand or something else from its body - some kind of "proof" - with them.)

Answer 6

Of course they both exist. Here's an interesting thought though: for Nessie to still be existing today there has to be more than one. An animal like that can't have singularly survived since the ice age. And for skeptics out there, what about the drawings? There are drawings of a big serpent on stone tablets around Loch Ness from Native Scots. They can't have created a hoax.

If you're interested in this kind of stuff then search for lake iliamni in alaska there are apparently sightings of huge (30 ft) fish in there.

Answer 7

whatever makes money exist!..,so i think that their mythological

existence can be proved,h**l yeah!!!

Answer 8

lock ness seems to be the joke of the century,a creature and only one at that,thats been seen in that lake for a hundred years,most of the photos are addmited fakes ,and they look like a drift log,also scientists claim theres not enough food for a dolphin ,yet  we are to believe a 45 foot monster swims and appears only to a sellect few,a least bigfoot has the brain of a subhuman to help it hide.....

Answer 9

I am English and on my first visit to Scotland this was the experience that made me absolutely certain IT or THEY do exist(s).

I had not heard until recently that Nessie is a plesiasaur, or a giant eel.

THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I SAW when I had this scary experience in a vastly smaller, nearby loch. Four of us went swimming and I got a little separated them. It was very dark, almost black water with very little vegetation around it and was very still and quiet when suddenly, quite close to me, the body of this enormous thing with a dark and smooth body like a really giant eel - I would say about seven feet in girth - very briefly arched right out of the water without making a sound and disappeared again. Only I saw it and I yelled a warning to the others and rapidly got out. They stayed in thinking I was fooling around ignoring my obvious state of shock.

It convinced me that there is a monster and probably others and very much larger than what I saw, lurking in Loch Ness and the many other lochs. But that's what happens - a sighting is made, no one else sees it and then there´s disbelief and skeptism. I know they have done dredging, etc. of Loch Ness but if searches were conducted of this tiny loch and others much smaller than Loch Ness there would doubtlessly  be more positive results as they would be less elusive. In a sense I do not want them found - I think it better they be left in pease. BUT EXIST THEY DO.

Answer 10

not in our time. These creatures are hoaxes in modern day.

however, Lochness was modeled after a real aquatic dinosaur which has been extinct for over 65 million years.  

Giant apes 10 feet roamed the world and have been extinct for something like 500,000 years.

Answer 11

I think some are real and some are not.  If it is real it would have be like something already found, like Bigfoot and great apes,  thunder birds and condors.  I just don't see Chupacabras, Mothman, Lizard Men or Nessy.

Answer 12

The YETI does exist! She works with me.

Answer 13

I am not a paleontologist, so I can't say definitively whether Yeti-like or Nessi-like creatures have ever existed.  However, I have seen no compelling evidence that they currently exist.

Nessie is in an enclosed space.  If the creature were as large as the photos indicate then it would have been found by now.  Yeti has more space to cover, but I think if this creature were real it would have been found by now as well.

Answer 14

It depends. If you accept the Loch Ness Monster (Nessie) as a dinosaur then they have existed in the past according to the evidence. Although I'm certain that at least one debunker on here would be willing to argue that the evidence is not conclusive and therefore there is no good evidence they ever existed.

If you think that Nessie might be a giant eel then they have existed and do exist today. People obviously see, record and observe something in the lake.

While skeptics rattle on about no evidence and such creatures not being possible there are at least a few people that still believe in science that are attempting to find out what it is that people are seeing.

Yeti: Yet another very difficult area to find anything much less survive. Sure this creature could exist just like the once mythical gorilla and panda bear. Again a few people have tried to find out ( Reinhold Messner, Tom Slick) while skeptics dismiss the possibility from their armchairs (and profess to support scientific inquiry) Yeti could be a type of bear that people misidentify or some type of hold over ape.

Reports may be skewed as that distance and size with nothing for reference like a tree is very difficult.

In summary if they exist or may have ever existed depends on what kind of animal you think might explain Nessie and Yeti.

One thing is for certain in my mind though and that is the effort to find answers to what people are seeing is worth looking and can only improve science whether the creatures turn out to be normal animals misidentified or new species.

Answer 15

b4 the gorilla was discoverd,people thought it was a myth! people thought the COELACANTH was extinct,until a living specimen was caught   i believe LOCH NESS is a PLESIOSAUR,a vegetarian creature....as for,YETI,SASQUATCH,SKUNK MAN,ABOMINABLE SNOWMAN,BIGFOOT,it is a species of anthropoid/humanoid known as GIGANTHOPITHECUS or something like that!
