What awaits us in the Deepest Parts of the Unexplored Forests of the Pacific Northwest ?
- Could it be the Remote Back Roads of New England, New Jersey, or New York?
- What about the Lands around the Great Lakes, and the Upper Mid-West?
Come to think of it, there is one Type of Cryptid that seems to have found a Home in every one of the 50 States in the U.S., and All the Provinces and Territories of Canada.
CRYPTID- A LEGENDARY OR MYTHOLOGICAL CREATURE WHOSE EXISTENCE HAS NOT BEEN PROVEN, OR EVEN REASONABLY POSTULATED BY EVIDENCE AVAILABLE FOR TESTING OR ANALYSIS.
Cryptozoology, is the one area where Evidence does not Have to meet any Kind of Scientific, or Critical Thinking Criteria. So, that is where we find the continued insistence that such Improbable Creatures actually do exist.
The Number of Cryptids that are Promoted as Real by Cryptozoologists are Numerous, and are said to exist just about everywhere on Earth. However, to begin with, Lets look at the Most Famous Example found on the NORTH AMERICAN CONTINENT. I am Referring to the Backwoods Beast known as BIGFOOT.
When Starting a Discussion about any possible living thing, particularly one that is Unlikely to Exist, the MOST IMPORTANT THING TO DO IS TO ACTUALLY DEFINE WHAT WE ARE TALKING ABOUT, AND WHAT WOULD CONSTITUTE VALID QUALIFYING EVIDENCE PROVING ITS REALITY.
That is the First Problem, and it Points out something that will be a Detriment when Talking about any CRYPTID;
THAT WITH ONLY PURELY SUBJECTIVE TESTIMONY OFFERED AS THE "BEST EVIDENCE", A PROPER DEFINITION IS NOT REASONABLY POSSIBLE. IT CAN BE CHANGED EASILY, SINCE IT IS NOT BASED ON THE PRINCIPLES OF SCIENTIFIC THEORY.
That brings us to first IMPORTANT QUESTION- WHEN SOMEONE WRITES OR TALKS ABOUT BIGFOOT...
... WHAT ARE THEY REFERENCING?
