The origin of the word bunyip has been traced to the Wemba-Wemba or Wergaia language of Aboriginal people of South-Eastern Australia.[2][3] However, the bunyip appears to have formed part of traditional Aboriginal beliefs and stories throughout Australia, although its name varied according to tribal nomenclature.[5] In his 2001 book, writer Robert Holden identified at least nine regional variations for the creature known as the bunyip across Aboriginal Australia.
Chimaera. Chimaeras [ 1 ] are cartilaginous fish in the order Chimaeriformes , known informally as ghost sharks , ratfish (not to be confused with the rattails ), spookfish (not to be confused with the true spookfish of the family Opisthoproctidae ), or rabbitfishes (not to be confused with the true rabbitfishes of the family Siganidae ).
They may be the "oldest and most enigmatic groups of fishes alive today". [ 2 ] At one time a "diverse and abundant" group (based on the fossil record ), their closest living relatives are sharks , though in evolutionary terms they branched off from sharks nearly 400 million years ago and have remained isolated ever since. [ 2 ] Today they are largely confined to deep water. [ 2 ] Description and habits [ edit ] Chimaera egg Chimaeras live in temperate ocean floors down to 2,600 metres (8,500 ft) depth, with few occurring at depths shallower than 200 metres (660 ft).

Many theories have been put forward to explain the incident, and some aspects of its veracity have also been called into question. Loch Ness Monster. The Loch Ness Monster is a cryptid , reputedly a large unknown animal that is said to inhabit Loch Ness in the Scottish Highlands .
It is similar to other supposed lake monsters in Scotland and elsewhere, though its description varies from one account to the next.

Bloody Mary (folklore) Divination rituals such as the one depicted on this early 20th century Halloweengreeting card, where a woman stares into a mirror in a darkened room to catch a glimpse of the face of her future husband, while a witch lurks in the shadows, may be one origin of the Bloody Mary legend.
Bloody Mary is a folklore legend consisting of a ghost or spirit conjured to reveal the future. She is said to appear in a mirror when her name is called multiple times.
