I've never seen any strange creatures, but my great-granddad useta tell us all a story of how one time he was driving his carriage (he wasn't Amish or anything. this was before cars) home from church one night and a strange creature vaguely similar to a horse came out of the woods and walked beside the carriage for a few miles, then it disappeared back into the woods. he said it was about the size of a yearling and had red eyes.

another animal seen around here (the Deep South) is something referred to as "the Ol White Thing". I've also heard of it being referred to as "the Wookalar" (not sure of the spelling on that one). it's supposedly similar to Bigfoot, only white and endowed with supernatural powers.

if it was possible to make a living as a cryptozoologist (aside from appearances on lame Travel Channel or Animal Planet shows), I would love to try it.
