@Globsterologe @BestCryptids That report is from a letter by Patrick Bowen (the alleged witness) in the October 1925 issue (No. 330/Vol. 25, available online), titled "What Was It?". Interestingly, the artist's (not Bowen's) depiction seems to me to have been influenced by sphenacodontid reconstructions.

The Cape Hatteras Mermen were strange sea creatures allegedly caught near Cape Hatteras Light by the crew of the ship Abby H. Gheen and eaten by them according to a Pittsburg Dispatch article in June 1890. In a 1957 story, they were likened to merfolk. #outerbanks #cryptids

Pennsylvanians speak of a small, #bigfoot like creature called an Albatwitch. Their name is derived from "apple-snitch". Apples have been central to Pennsylvania’s agriculture since William Penn was credited with establishing PA's "orchard culture" in the 1680s.

In the 6th century BC, Hanno, an explorer from Carthage (Phoenician colony in Africa) possibly made the earliest known report about gorillas. His description served as the origin of the modern word “gorilla”, which was officially discovered in 1902 by explorer Robert von Beringe

An alleged photograph of the "Fiordland moose". Not native to New Zealand, moose were released there over a century ago for hunters. While reports of them gradually tapered off, occasional sightings have led people to believe that moose may have established a colony there

Entelodonts, nicknamed "hell pigs", had bulky bodies, short, strong legs, and disproportionately large heads. Despite their fearsome appearance and "killer teeth," they were likely omnivorous, using their powerful jaws to crush bones, roots and tough vegetation.
