*Welcome to the ATS Crypto forum!*

You'll find some very interesting discussions here covering many different cryptozoological beings and mythical beasts. Before starting a new thread, please review the existing topics to make sure there isn't already a thread on the subject and if there is please feel free to add to it. You can also use the ATS search future as well.

There are already multiple threads on the more popular crypto characters like Bigfoot, Lochness monster, chupa, etc. so I have provided this index as a reference to these threads that you'll find in this forum.

Great job ProudAmerican....inspirational, to say the least.


seekerof

great way to intorduce the newbs to a forum.

I especially like the listed threads......

Outstanding work, ProudAmerican - I'm a stranger to the cryptozoology board myself, but I think I'll be hanging around more often from now on...

And maybe checking my door is locked before I go off to bed tonight...

one of my favorite parts of ATS. Thanks for the organization.

Nice to see the moderators doing a good job, well done ProudA !

A good way to introduce members to the forum..

Funny how the threads for good work by the mods are short and the ones where people complain and whine about them are huge.

[edit on 13-6-2004 by The Real Deal]

I'll add my appraising comments for this organization. I wonder if it would be possible to have a table of contents for the threads within a subject. It seems that all this could be done with a computer program for people searching the archives of a subject.
Or they could do it by hand with the painstaking effort for quality only fit for a moderator of this caliber.

Wow, great stuff! Except that i dont think I'll be able to sleep again...ever.

Same as above ProudA,
Great site!

well,

this little creature, as yet unnamed....
but is said to look like a cross of a cat & a fox has been spotted
on Borneo....
the researchers caught itsa image on a night-camera trap

and they're supposed to show a photo of the 'New Carnivore' species
tomorrow, which is Tuesday the 6th of December.

here's a long url;

title of news release: 'Strange, New Carnivore Species Sighted on Borneo' Monday, 5 Dec, 2005 7:04PM ET

That was very helpful, cheers
its a good list of things to check out

Thats a fine list you've made

You gotta love all those Bigfoot threads

Much of the material being brought into the Cryptozoology and Mythical Beasts forum actually have nothing to do with the subject which this forum was created for.

Strange existing life-forms, like big snakes and weird worms are actually just normal, proven and knowable forms of nature and may therefore be re-directed to Fragile Earth or Environmental Issues in order to more easily find those subjects Proud American has outlined in the original post of this thread. Have a look at them to compare with the majority of posts being placed in this forum.

Here's the Wiki description of the term Cryptozoology...

en.wikipedia.org...

Cryptozoology is the study of animals that are rumored or suspected to exist, but for which conclusive proof is still missing; the term also includes the study of animals generally considered extinct, but which are still occasionally reported. Those who study or search for such animals are called cryptozoologists, while the hypothetical creatures involved are referred to by some as "cryptids", a term coined by John Wall in 1983.

And, about mythical beasts, here's a colourful website which shows a variety of them...

www.mythicalrealm.com...

By Heather,

Far away in the twilight time,
Of every people, in every clime,
Dragons and griffins and monsters dire,
Born of water and earth and air and fire.

So, you can see why a big snake eating the family pet really isn't part of this forum, while a huge sea monster attacking Tokyo certainly would be.

Nice! Very useful awesome work
