This is the infancy of the science of cryptozoology, which is the search for creatures undocumented by hard evidence: bestiaries, tall tales and travelers' accounts, mythology and folklore. People relate tales of weird animals seen in the next country, the next borough, the next town: the modern equivalents are stories of Bigfoot, UFOs and marine monsters, the Goatsucker and its ilk.
