Nope, don't believe in any of the stuff on the earth like the Lochness Monster, Yetti, etc.... now UFO's possibly but until I see something I won't believe in it.... so my answer Nope don't believe in those

I believe in Nessie, UFO's and Ghosts, possibly Aliens.

i dont know if i should believe in nessie,yeti and other things like that because a lot of people say they are hoaxes

nope i do not believe in them, they are not true

I am willing to concede the possibility that creatures like the Loch Ness Monster, Champ, Bigfoot (and the Yeti and Australian "Yowie") exist, as the premise for such creatures isn't based in utter fantasy (in order words, not like the chimaera of ancient Greece, or the Sphynx of ancient Egypt, or the Jersey Devil of the New Jersey Pinelands, etc.). They are each based upon legitimate foundations (either giant marine reptiles or hominids/apes...in other words, legitimate forms of life on this planet...not fantastical creatures of myth). It is at least CONCEIVABLE, even without irrefutable proof (or dismissal) from the scientific community, that some giant marine reptiles from the Jurassic or Cretaceous periods of pre-history could have produced descendants which survived the mass extinction event of 65 million years ago. After all, scientists are finding, and conclusively proving, the existence of other marine life (and sometimes even terrestrial life) which has existed, almost unchanged, since before that mass extinction. Look at the coelacanth as just one example. MSN also had an article recently about a form of crustacean which had been thought extinct for more than 100 million years! Yet they (marine biologists) found live samples of it recently. The ocean is a barrier to remarkable catastrophes in time.

Aliens? I DO believe in the distinct possibility of extraterrestrial life. It is inconceivable, with the tremendous size of our universe, and the forces at work in just our galaxy alone, that no other life exists anywhere else in the endless expanse...sentient or not.

Ghosts? Er...I'm kind of ambiguous on that. Meaning that I neither believe nor disbelieve. I haven't seen or heard anything that proves it either way for me. But, as a person of faith (Christian, though not evangelical or fundamentalist), I do believe in an afterlife.

I believe in all the stuff there. Nessies: They are probably a hidden species from prehistoric time.
Sasquwash : Another hidden species of an army experiment gone rong or some kind of mountain gorrilla that has more human genetics in it.

UFOs: definatly. No doubt in my mind. Know one knows whats on other planets. Or even universes. Any one hear of the Rosswell crash? Oh yeah! The army definatly tried to hide the truth behind that of saying its a wether balloon and crash dummies. HELLO? have you seen the pictures of the body?

Ghosts: Yes. 1: I have had personal expiriences i can not explain. and so has other family members. 2: Ghosts are probably the energy of people who died a tragic death,didn't get to say "good-bye", ones that are missed dearly, one that has never been accepted to go where they are suppost too, one that has done numerouse amounts of murders, one that doesn't know they are dead or cannot accept the fact, one who does't want to go where they need to be or perferrs "Earth" better. Or the reason that that person has to walk this earth in thier after life.

You guys are all over UFOs, Mothman, Nessie, and all those other famousees, but I bet none of you ever heard of the Draconians. They're my favorite paranormal creatures...They're somewhat like real dragons.

Dracos are repitilian humanoids that are said to live underground, and inhabited this Earth LOOOOONG before we did. Dracos have all shared a mutual hatred for humans alike, altough why, I haven't the fondest.

Unlike most mosters, Dracos have powers. Most are believed to be living among us right now, and they are most likely to be wearing hoods, keeping to the dark. No one will probably be able to find one, or get a clear identification, since Dracos posses the power to shape-shift. They have many different forms.

I'm trying to find the wikipedia link, but I lost it.

OOOO! Has anyone heard of the Jersey Devil? This is the legend: There was a momma that had twelve children and she was pregnant with a 13th! She was in so much stress that she ***** the child and said " I hope you're the devil!" because she didn't want it. When she was giving birth the child was ugly and horrable. After he was out he flew out the window and supposably killed the other children. He is still alive and lives in the Jersey pine barrans suposadly. * Im not swearing on the board but that is what happened. Im sorry if any mods find this inapropriot *

There are actually many different versions of that story...one of which you sort of nailed. There are other versions, including the "seventh son of the seventh son", or variations of both stories where the baby was locked in their attic for some time, until it broke free, killed the family, and flew off, terrorizing the countryside. The story has existed since colonial times, and persists as a local legend. Many books have been written about it. However, that movie which came out, a few years ago, doesn't even come close...the Jersey Devil is not some giant spider creature. The description most commonly-accepted is: a serpentine body with reptile arms and tail, a goat's legs, giant bat wings, a horse's head, a dog's face, and deer antlers...it has glowing eyes and can breathe fire, and has a blood-curdling scream. It is known for alighting on the roofs of houses, and also running on all fours up bald hills on moonlit nights, then standing up at the top, letting out a god-awful howl, and then either taking flight into the air, or running back down the hill and disappearing into the forest. It has supposedly been spotted in Delaware, Philadelphia and the eastern PA suburbs, and northern New Jersey throughout the last 200 or so years...and even farther away. The creature is not generally known as a killer of humans so much as a creator of frightful mischief...loving to frighten and terrorize people. Though it has been blamed for slaughtered livestock and pets.

The family mentioned in the stories is the poor Leeds (or "Shroud") family, who lived in the Pinelands. Supposedly, the remains of the Leeds house still stand out there, and is a popular spot for curiosity seekers enthralled by the legend. There have been many hoax "captures" of the Jersey Devil, of animals whose bodies have been toyed with and altered after being killed by the "brave devil hunters". All were proven fakes. The Jersey Devil has never been documented conclusively. One element of truth which feeds the legend is the presence of "whooping cranes" which live in the Pinelands. They have a strange, plaintive call which was known to frighten people in colonial times, and sometimes still does. And cranes are pretty big birds. Seen in a flash, spooked into flight in the dark, well, who knows?

I know this because I LIVE in southern New Jersey, at the border of the Pinelands (also known, locally, as the "Pine Barrens"...a 400-square mile track of scrub pine and hardwood forest, dotted with colonial-era ghost towns, meandering unpaved pathways and roads, rivers, lakes, marshes, cranberry bogs, and the occasional small town. Some areas of the great forest are subject to occasional fires, and you can see burnt sections of it traveling on some of the paved roads which cut through it. Those areas eventually grown back over, producing a very interesting "dwarf forest" effect of short, stubby pine trees and brush. Because of the nature of southern NJ - that of a coastal plain...basically a giant dried out sand bar - the soil is laid over by sand. In the Pinelands, that sand is said to give off a spooky shine in the moonlight. When one is walking down one of those meandering trails, it can give a very spooky effect! I have seen this on a full moonlit night, and it is real! And it can enhance one's fears about the "Jersey Devil". The area is even host to its own kind of "hillbilly" called a "Piney"...folks who live largely without electrical power and many other conveniences...and are known for their secretive and irascible nature. National Geographic did an article on the Pinelands back in '74...and measured the area, a lot of which is protected land. It's nearly as big around as the GRAND CANYON! And it's existence is one of the best-kept secrets of New Jersey...which most people outside of the state think consists of just refineries, cities, and two major highways - the NJ Turnpike and the Garden State Parkway - leading from Delaware to New York and Connecticut. They're missing the real beauty of NJ for sure! But, I digress...).

Why thank you I do alot of paranormal research. And yes I have heard of many versions of the story. Yes they are all simalar. And yes VERY CREEPY!!! I mean, Having a son that is like all mutated and nasty and down right disgusting. Gives me the creeps. Ya Ive also heard the jersey devil goes on the garden state,turnpike, and many of the bridges that are there. Can you believe some ppl think the jersey devil is trying to protect them? Maybe. Or maybe it just wants to live in peace. Alot of ppl have seen it tho. or supposadly.


Oh and here is a link to a website about the sersey devil. If ya want more info, go to goole and do a search: Jeasey Devil.

Well, heh heh, I didn't mean to say that the Jersey Devil goes on the NJ Turnpike or the Garden State Parkway! I meant that most people think that New Jersey only consists of those two toll highways (with a bunch of "exits"), smelly refineries, and cities. When, in fact, there's much, much more!

However, you're welcome!

Yeah, I think most especially the Pineys. They want nothing more than for people to leave them alone, and they're pretty good at running people off. In fact, some of them are pretty scary in of themselves. LOL! As I mentioned, they're very much like New Jersey's own version of hillbillies. ROFL.

I personally don't believe in the Jersey Devil. However, I like the legend and its stories, and there is a lot of local folklore and hype built around it. And plenty of good books as well. Some only recently-published. There is a New Jersey restaurant, too, which used to have a very frightening painting of the devil rising out of a secluded, foggy bog. I think the painting was since stolen from them. Though at least one of the books on the Jersey Devil has a picture of the painting in it. It's pretty cool looking, actually! Though, knowing the area like I do (having grown up here, and knowing the byways and out-of-the-way locales), I wouldn't want to stumble upon that frightful image coming down a secluded sandy pathway in the woods, far from any community or hard-surface road! *Shiver!*

Here's a great link, which not only starts off with the scary (but very cool) painting I mentioned (with text typed over it, dang it!), but also other images, and a state map showing the expanse of the Pinelands (which I am sure will come as a shock to those idiots who throw out questions like "You're from New Jersey? What exit? Yuk yuk!") - http://www.elktownship.com/myth.html

OOO i thought they were on the turn pike lol. well ill take it from an expert. Yes i think they do wanna be left alone. Yes they do run ALOT of ppl off. there was one guy who said he was related to the jersey devil! Or atleast he says so. lol . Nice research.
