Regarding dragons, I love seahorses. And to me it’s very easy to see why people could think dragons are real. Because seahorses look like little tiny baby dragons. In fact there is a seahorse called a leafy sea dragon. They are pretty cool looking.
My late husband thought it was kind of weird that I really truly loved seahorses because to me, they’re almost magical creatures. Because I would rather do almost anything then go to a beach. I am not an ocean person at all.
The last time we went to the Monterey Bay Aquarium, I spent at least a half an hour or more at the seahorse tanks just watching them. Now I need a Kleenex.

Seahorses are very cool little things! I just read an article about this guy in Southern CA who takes care of this little sea horse 'community' in the ocean near his house, they are very interesting creatures to say the least!
As far as real dragons, I do not believe they exist today...but I do believe they did at one time, here again, there are numerous historical descriptions of what can only be a 'dragon'. (some people will say they are talking about crocodiles, alligators or monitor lizards, but the descriptions do not match those animals, I had a thread on this a long time ago, it listed all the historical descriptions.

I suspect dinosaur bones might once have been proof of dragons.
As far as I know, a thread like this hasnt been done yet, I got this idea as I was listening to the new Paranormal Round Table podcast yesterday...
They were discussing some really crazy and bizarre things that people have claimed to see...like a Bigfoot with antlers, deer that apparently have sharp canine type teeth, Wendigos, Gugwees, Rakes, etc etc!!
They have been talking a lot about 'Rakes' on PRT, personally, I dont believe it, its one thing to believe in Sasquatch or a 'dogman', but when people start trying to say there are multiple creatures out there, all existing together, that just beyond the limit for me.
I don't believe in these creatures simply based on the fact that nobody has found a dead one, nobody has hit one with a car, and nobody has managed to get a clear photo with all of the technology available.

Gigantopithecus was first identified by its teeth being sold in Chinese apothecaries as "dragon teeth". Dinosaur bones are still sold in Chinese apothecaries as "dragon bones". It's been suggested that the myth of the cyclops in Greek mythology was inspired by the discovery of the skulls of extinct species of elephants (mammoths, dynotheria, etc) - the single opening for the trunk looks kind of like a huge eye socket.

I LOVE the look of sea dragons, more than seahorses! They both have an interesting appearance.

Well, 1000s of people, from all over the world (except HI), report seeing these things...while its possible SOME are bears or other large animals, being misidentified, but that certainly cannot account for ALL sightings and encounters and 'misidentification' has some problems anyway...(namely, that in order to 'misidentify' something as a cryptid....the person would first have to believe the cryptid exists).
Plus, numerous encounters are up close, 20ft and under in many cases, and the descriptions do not match any known animal...YES, its possible the person is lying or making the whole story up, but if thats whats going on, why not a single report in HI? I cannot explain the elusiveness of these animals, but I do believe they are out there.

1000s all over the world and with billions of cellphones capable of shooting great pictures, not one good picture. 1000s all over the world and no one has killed one by mistake in hunting season, even though some hunters have killed other hunters by accident. 1000s all over the world and not one has been hit and killed by a car, even though cars kill many pedestrians every year. 1000s all over the world and nobody has ever found a dead one!
At sometime you have to pull the plug and realize all the cards are against Big Foot being real!
I don't believe in some kind of underground "lizard-type aliens". And although this does not fall under "supernatural", etc., I also definitely do NOT believe in astrology.
I do, however, believe in ghosts or spirits, meaning that sometimes, some essence of someone who has died remains earthbound, I also believe in ESP, and I believe that "extraterrestrials" have visited Earth many, many times. (I just put that in to show that I am not entirely closed-minded.)
The notion that BF might be some type of supernatural being, moving around in different dimensions. To me, this is just a desperate way of still trying to justify that BF somehow exists without definitive proof like ever finding a body, dead or alive.

Once you add supernatural to the equation (if you believe in such a thing), then of course the possibilities are endless.
Exactly. I do not believe cryptids are inter dimensional. If you for sure saw what you think you saw; then it lives. It eats & sleeps.
Bf is alive. Here in Colorado they are "In" the Ute Fault Line (Karst). In the PNW, they are "in" the San Andreas (Karst). In Florida they are "in" the subterranean where the sinkholes keep giving way (again; Karst). Locations without Karst literally have zero sightings reports.
My bird was most definitely alive. Had I just seen it from farther away & not felt it & heard it I might question myself more but you cannot be 10 ft away from something that big & not know if it's alive.
