"Thunderbirds" and giant flying things don't interest me as much, only because I am of the mind that if they can
fly, they
can't hide.
Giant
bats however sound pretty damn cool...

A local legend:
Champ, the Monster of Lake Champlain (Vermont)
This photograph was supposedly taken in 1977 by a woman who was picnicking with her family. Like most sitings, however, it really leaves me skeptical why there isn't more
hard evidence for it. The problem with this photograph is that there is nothing in the background to give us an idea of size, not to mention its blurriness leaves a lot to the imagination...
