The truth behind mythological creatures
Every society in the world has its fair share of local myths and legends, and these range from strange or dangerous beasts, to ghosts, even to giants. After all, we’re a naturally curious species seeking to find answers to the big questions and explanations for the unknown quantities. When, as is bound to happen at some point in any civilisation’s history, some sees something strange in the woods or witnesses an oddly serendipitous set of circumstances, someone will inevitably spin this experience into a remarkable tale that survives generations.
Some might say that it’s simply human nature to invent sightings and stories where there’s nothing much: But can a myth with so many corroborating reports really be entirely false? Are these merely examples of some sort of mass hysteria or ill-defined magical thinking, or could there be some truth behind the accounts of these mythical creatures?
