Excerpts and a copy of a page from an old tome titled Host of Enigmas discovered in a little-used section of the New York Library:

Pg. 163, Trek into the Savage Congo:
...and then did I gaze upon a most peculiar creature; the beest's head swung clear ten feet from the surface of the water perched upon a massive neck while the enormous bulk of its body caused the surrounding river to leap about in a most terrifying manner...

Pg. 57, The Unusual Heavens:
...on high did the abomination hover o'er my colleagues and I as we gazed upon it in a mix of terror and gripped fascination; a headless form with huge wings and eyes as fiery as Hell itself...

Pg. 334, Cases on Safari:
...with a start, I flung open the tent flap just in time to view one of the porters being dragged off by some immense and shaggy beest; It looketh much like the common bear, but of a nature most feral and prehistoric, a creature not unlike that possibly gazed upon by the privative savages of old...

Pg. 12, The Common Europe:
...encounters continued to build o'er the months of a most unusual nature; a hellish beest being of one part feline and the other part serpent. for sure it is a beest born of the Devil's work...

Tales describe creatures which can not be explained; be they denizens of the sky, land, water, or even the mind, Mankind has brought these unknown terrors with it into the present day, terrors that show no signs of disappearing.

welcome my friend!

Awesome dude! Updates have been a little slow as of late..... Odd, considering the new season of Monster Quest starting recently........ But the thing that puzzles me is that they did an episode on ghost...... And most of thier new episodes are just giant animals. Because the next two (after tomorrow's) are giant rats, and after that its giant snakes. Only real cryptids so far are the Ohio Grassman (tomorrow) and the Vampire Beast.
