Mermaid Ever since the first people ventured out into the oceans on boats, legends of mermaids have been told… either as benevolent beings who rescued lost sailors during terrible storms, or as the evil harbingers of doom themselves! With so much of the world's oceans still unexplored, it's impossible to say that they don't actually exist, and supposed sightings of them are still quite common. 10. Yeti The Yeti is said to be an ape-like creature that roams the peaks of the Himalayan mountains and has been a part of local folklore for hundreds of years. In 1951, British explorer Eric Shipton was looking for a new route up Mount Everest when he came upon a footprint in the snow. It looked sort of like a human foot, but much bigger. 9. Kraken For hundreds of years sailors around the world have spoken of gigantic beasts of the deep that were responsible for countless shipwrecks and lost souls. Even today there are many mysterious creatures still being discovered, so imagine a long time ago!! These tales were taken so seriously that most land-lubbers accepted them as fact. 8. Unicorn Unicorns are legendary creatures that are mentioned in a variety of cultures around the world, but recent discoveries suggest that they may, in fact, have once actually existed. Although their image has been transformed over millennia. The Siberian Unicorn or, Elasmotherium sibiricum, was a large rhinoceros, the size of a mammoth that went extinct around 29 thousand years ago. 7. U-28 Creature World War 1 was the first war that saw the widespread use of modern weaponry including submarine warfare. The German Empire concentrated its efforts to disrupt Allied shipping by using submarines. One of them, the German SM U-28 attacked the SS Iberian, a British Merchant steamer in 1915. It was headed from Manchester, England to Boston, Massachusetts when it was hit by a torpedo off the coast of Ireland. 6. Vampire Remains Vampires have been mentioned in European folklore for many centuries, and are described as mysterious creatures of the night that suck the life force from humans… and while it’s easy to dismiss them as fictitious entities, people believed that they were real. If they do exist, they’re likely to be far more human than the stories would suggest, and could even be walking among us today. 5. Bigfoot Bigfoot is the most sought after and investigated legendary creature in the world. With so many tv shows, research grants, and camping trips dedicated to finding the mysterious being, you’d have thought that we’d have seen proof of it by now, but it has managed to remain elusive. 4. Werewolf There’s something about a full moon that brings out the strange in everyone and everything. People start acting weird, and animals, confused by the bright light in the night sky, may even start behaving like they would during the day… but could it also be true that once a month there are people that turn into wolves? 3. Chupacabra The Chupacabra, whose name translates to mean 'the goat sucker', is a legendary creature from South America that's said to prowl at night in search of animals that it can drain the blood from. It's long been blamed for the death of livestock and attacking people too, but it’s also a surprisingly recently told myth, with its origins seeming to stem from several incidents that happened in the 1990s. 2. Jersey Devil If you visit New Jersey I don't think the first thing on your mind would be strange and unusual creatures, but for more than 2 centuries it’s been home to a legend of an actual monster… a winged creature known as the Jersey Devil. 1. Loch Ness Monster The Loch Ness monster is undoubtedly the most famous mythical creature in the world, and its possible existence has inspired countless monster hunters to try and get a glimpse of it for themselves. While many write the stories off as an ingenious marketing ploy to attract tourists to the lake, there are still many who are convinced that the beast is real. #legendary #creatures #originsexplained
