List of cryptids

List of cryptids
The following is a list of cryptids, animals and plants studied under the field of cryptozoology. Their presumptive existence has often been derived from anecdotal or other evidence considered insufficient by mainstream science. The status of cryptids on this list falls into six categories: Unconfirmed – cryptids whose existence is alleged but not demonstrated.Disputed – cryptids that have a body of evidence against their existence.Proposed [animal name] – cryptids with an alternative explanation accepted by the general scientific community.Extinct – animals that are generally believed to be extinct, but which cryptozoologists believe may have an extant relict population.Confirmed [animal name or cause] – animals once classified as cryptids but whose existence has now been confirmed.Hoax – cryptids once thought to be real but later conclusively proven to be hoaxes.

Lojong Lojong (Tib. བློ་སྦྱོང་,Wylie: blo sbyong) is a mind training practice in the Tibetan Buddhist tradition based on a set of aphorisms formulated in Tibet in the 12th century by Geshe Chekhawa. The practice involves refining and purifying one's motivations and attitudes. The fifty-nine or so slogans that form the root text of the mind training practice are designed as a set of antidotes to undesired mental habits that cause suffering. Prominent teachers who have popularized this practice in the West include Pema Chodron,[1] Ken McLeod, Alan Wallace, Chogyam Trungpa, Sogyal Rinpoche, Geshe Kelsang Gyatso, and the 14th Dalai Lama.[2] History of the practice[edit] Atiśa journeyed to Sumatra and studied with Dharmarakṣita for twelve years. A story is told that Atiśa heard that the inhabitants of Tibet were very pleasant and easy to get along with. The aphorisms on mind training in their present form were composed by Chekawa Yeshe Dorje (1101–1175 CE). The Root Text[edit] Slogan 1. 1. 2. 3. 4.

Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization Cryptozoology Online: Centre for Fortean Zoology (CFZ) - the world's best cryptozoology organisation - main page Pennsylvania Bigfoot Society, NESRA - North East Sasquatch Researchers Association NESRA is an association of independent Bigfoot researchers and affiliated organizations who share strategies, theories, experiences and resources in a network, in hopes of discovering solid, scientific proof for the existence of the creatures known as Bigfoot or Sasquatch. While we encourage independent thought among our members, we want to stress that as a group, we do not subscribe to the idea that Bigfoot is anything other than a "flesh-and-blood", corporeal animal. Bigfoot or Sasquatch-type creatures may be rare, elusive and unusual, but they are in no way supernatural. At NESRA, we strive to provide a definitive source of information on all things Bigfoot. Here at TeamNESRA.net, you can submit your Bigfoot / Sasquatch sighting or encounter report to NESRA-IDb - our searchable investigation and encounter database. The NESRA team is a group of everyday people from all walks of life who share a common interest in Bigfoot and specialize in field research.

Bigfoot Information Project Texas Bigfoot Research Conservancy Ontario Sasquatch The British Columbia Scientific Cryptozoology Club British Columbia has been a fertile location for sightings of a bipedal hirsute hominid known colloquially as sasquatch. The name "sasquatch" was coined by J.W. Burns,an American schoolteacher living in BC, and is derived from a Chehalis word meaning wild man. Burns showed a tremendous interest in sasquatch starting from the 1920's, but he was not alone in his pursuit of date and information regarding this animal. Journalist Bruce McKelvie, whose personal papers on the subject reside in the BC Archives, was keenly interested in the subject as was the late former Mayor of North Vancouver, Charles Cates. Green and Dahinden - until his death in 2001 - have spent 40 years in active investigation and research into the sasquatch phenomenon. The sasquatch is depicted in both male and female forms on a variety of totem poles of a host of First Nations bands. It is in BC that we find reports of the shootings of several sasquatches despitethe fact that it is illegal to do so.
