1. Lochness Monster - Nessie

Known as the “Lochness monster”, Nessie - the mysterious beast was first discovered in 1933 in Scotland. Since then, many locals and tourists have claimed to have seen it at the bottom of the lake. According to some believers, Nessie is actually a Plesiosaur, a giant reptile that lived during the time of dinosaurs. Despite many efforts to search with modern tools, machines and equipment, no evidence of Nessie's existence has been found.

2. Chupacabra

Chupacabra - “goat sucker”, was first seen in Puerto Rico in the mid-1990s. There are many different descriptions of this animal, but the common point is that it is 1 to 1.5 meters tall, has a row of large spikes on its back and has alien-like eyes. It is similar to a vampire, sucking blood to live, but its prey is mainly goats, sheep and small animals. Some people think that it could be an extraterrestrial creature or the result of government genetic testing.

3. Jersey Devil

This monster was “born” in the early 1700s. According to folklore, around that time, a woman in New Jersey gave birth to a cursed monster with a horse’s head, bat wings, and cloven hooves. Over the centuries, the story has been embellished with myths and fabrications. However, according to the book “The New Jersey Monster” by author Loren Coleman, he asserts that there is no real evidence to prove its existence and that it is just a myth.

According to many descriptions, it is a humped creature, several dozen meters long with dark skin and a head shaped like a snake or dog. The famous photo of Champ was taken in 1981 but soon after, the photo was proven to be just a floating log. However, the mysterious stories still continue with many photos and videos, besides living witnesses who claim to have seen Champ with their own eyes.

6. Feejee "The Mermaid"

Usually when people think of mermaids, they think of a beautiful girl, not a monster. However, the "Feejee mermaid" is an exception, known to the public after its discovery in 1840. Not a beautiful mermaid as described in fairy tales, the "Feejee mermaid" has a hideous head, the body of a monkey and a fish tail. Later, experts closely observed the specimen and pointed out that this was a fake. It was made from two animals meticulously sewn together to make money from the public's curiosity.

7. The sea monsters

Sea monsters have appeared in stories for thousands of years. A 1752 book called “Natural History of Norway” described a monster called the Kraken that was the size of a small island, round, flat, and had many arms. It was ruled by the sea gods and was famously uttered by Zeus in the movie “Clash of the Titans.” Today, sea monster sightings are extremely rare. Scientists believe that the previous records were actually giant jellyfish, capable of growing up to 13m long.

8. Ogopogo

It seems that stories about monsters living in lakes appear in many countries. Ogopogo is another “Lochness monster” that has been mentioned in history. It “resides” in Okanagan Lake, British Columbia, Canada. Centuries ago, Native Americans believed that a water god lived in the lake and many lives were sacrificed to the monster in exchange for peace. In fact, there is no actual connection between the mysterious stories but these stories are often considered the origin of this strange creature. Ogopogo is actually the name of a popular dance. Because scientific evidence is not fully provided, until now, people still pass on strange things about Okanagan Lake.

9. Bigfoot

The first documented account of this mysterious beast dates back to the 1950s. According to the description, “Bigfoot” is a hairy, smelly, bipedal creature that resembles a human. It is believed that they once lived scattered throughout the wilds of North America. However, to date, no concrete evidence of their existence, such as teeth or bones, has been found. The only evidence that can be mentioned is a film shot by Patterson Gimlin in California in 1967, but the appearance of the beast in that film only resembles a human wearing a cheap fur coat.

10. Vampire

It would be fair to say that the vampire is the most famous monster on this list. The image of the vampire has been brought to the public through countless books, stories and movies. The concept of the blood-sucking beast has existed for thousands of years in the folklore of the ancient Hebrews, Greeks and Romans. But the name “vampire” only became popular after superstitious stories about this monster spread to Western Europe, causing the masses to become hysterical. The authorities exhumed graves and burned the bodies because of the fear that the corpses would rise from the grave and attack the living. Once the blood was sucked, the victim would also turn into a vampire. Until the 19th century, there were more and more stories about vampires, the most famous of which was Bram Stoker’s “Dracula”.
