In New Jersey folklore, the Jersey Devil is a legendary creature said to inhabit the Pine Barrens of Southern New Jersey, United States. The creature is often described as a flying biped with hooves, but there are many variations. The common description is that of a kangaroo-like creature with the head of a goat, leathery bat-like wings, horns, small arms with clawed hands, cloven hooves and a forked tail. It has been reported to move quickly and often is described as emitting a “blood-curdling scream”. According to popular folklore, the Jersey Devil originated with a Pine Barrens resident known as Mother Leeds aka Deborah Leeds. The legend states that Mother Leeds had 12 children and, after finding she was pregnant for the 13th time, cursed the child in frustration, crying that the child would be the Devil. During 1735, Mother Leeds was in labor on a stormy night while her friends gathered around her. Born as a normal child, the 13th child changed to a creature with hooves, a goat’s head, bat wings, and a forked tail. Growling and screaming, it killed the midwife before flying up the chimney and heading into the pines. Some versions of the legend also state that there was subsequently an attempt by local clergymen to exorcise the creature from the Pine Barrens, or that the creature proceeded to kill local children.  X

The Loch Ness Monster, or Nessie, is an aquatic being which reputedly inhabits Loch Ness in the Scottish Highlands. It is similar to other supposed lake monsters in Scotland and elsewhere, and is often described as being large in size, with a long neck and one or more humps protruding from the water. Popular interest and belief in the creature has varied since it was brought to worldwide attention in 1933. Evidence of its existence is anecdotal, with a few disputed photographs and sonar readings.

Ivan T. Sanderson (January 30, 1911 - February 19, 1973) was the person that coined the term “Cryptozoology” in the 1940s. His interest was held by paranormal phenomenon and he considered himself a cryptozoologist and a UFO researcher. He was most interested in Bigfoot-like creatures, giant penguins and living dinosaurs. He has written many books on the subjects that he loved including Invisible Residents: The Reality of Underwater UFOs, Things and More Things: Myths, Mysteries and Marvels!, and Investigating the Unexplained: Compendium of Mysteries of the Natural World.
