USA mythical creatures that might be real… part two. Number one is the Hawaii Menehune. The Menehune is a dwarf that is said to inhabit the deep forest and hidden valleys of the Hawaiian Island. They are described as amazing craftspeople, they build temples, fishponds, roads, canoes, and houses. Some of these buildings still exist. They are said to have lived in Hawaii for many centuries before settlers. Their favorite food is said to be the mai’a or the banana, they also like fish. They are said to only appear at night to build, if they do not finish the building they will leave it unoccupied. Only their kids and humans connected to them can see them. Number two is Idaho Sharlie. This is a sea serpent much like the loch ness monster. It is said to inhabit the deep waters of Payette lake which is near McCall, Idaho. The first tale of these serpents is from the Native Americans which stated that evil spirits inhabit the lake. The first sightings were documented in the 1920s and said that the creature was about thirty to thirty-five feet in length with a dinosaur-shaped head and a pronounced jaw, it also had humps like a camel and shell-like skin. Number three is Indiana Beast of Busco. The Beast of Busco is a giant snapping turtle, it is said to weigh around five hundred pounds. It lives in a lake that many farms had owned and reported to have seen it. Though many people reported they have seen it a search had taken place and turned up nothing, the creature was never found. Number four is the Illinois Enfield Monster. This is an unidentified creature that was sighted around Enfield, Illinois. It is said to possibly be an ape or an escaped kangaroo. It was reported to have three legs, with a short body, two small short arms, and two flashlights sized pink eyes. It stood about four and a half feet tall and had a greyish color. Number five is the Iowa Van Meter Monster. The Van Meter monster is an eight-foot winged creature that has a forehead horn that shoots out a beam of light. Number six is the Kansas Sink Hole Sam, Locals have speculated that the eel-like creature had been living in a prehistoric underground cavern that had filled with water from a sinkhole. This flooding allowed the creature to finally escape. Fishermen reported seeing something that was 15 feet in length and as round as an “automobile tire.” Number seven is Kentucky The Kelly Little Green Men/ Hopkinsville Goblins, Space goblins were the explanation for the little silvery-green-eyed men who tormented the inhabitants of the Sutton farmhouse at Kelly one UFO-filled August night in 1955. If these diminutive aliens don’t sound super-frightening, take care to note that bullets bounce off them like metal! The earliest reports on the incident did not refer to “Little green men.” That color was added later by the national media. Early sightings described them as silver with a greenish silver glow. Number eight is the Louisiana Rougarou/ Loup-Garou, the Rougarou is said to be a werewolf/ shapeshifter. They say it has the body of a human and the head of a wolf, but they have also been said to be a human-otter or a were-cow. It is said to have glowing red eyes and razor-sharp teeth. Number nine is the Maine Specter Moose, this creature is unlike any other in which it is nice just like most people of Maine. It is said to be an enormous ghostly white 10-15 feet tall with formidable antlers, it’s said to glow faintly and can appear and disappear at will. And finally, number ten is the Maryland Chessie. Chessie is Chesapeak Bay’s, Loch Ness monster, it is a camera-shy water monster. It could be an oarfish or an alien. She has been shy since there was video footage of her in the 1980s, perhaps it was because of overfishing. Witnesses have described her as a serpent-like creature with flippers, she is said to be 25-40 feet long. She swims through the water like a snake.
