Fortean Legends and Myths

The secrets of the greatest mysteries of the millennium revealed


The Yeti

The existence of the Yeti is extremely improbable. The barren snow environment of the Himilayas does not hold enough nutrition to support a large primate. However, there is a chance that an upright walking primate does exist in the forested mountain foothills of Asia.�

Bigfoot

This beast is my alleged American cousin. Bigfoot has been sighted in regions which contain enough nutrition from small and large mammals, berries, and plants. However, it is far more likely that these are sightings of light weights who have tried to drink more than 2 pints at a fancy dress party, and then lost the plot for several months.

The Loch Ness Monster

There have been frequent sightings of nessy over the years, and a number of thorough scientific investigations. It is unlikely that an entire family of giant aquatic monsters could evade sonar for so long. These sightings are more likely to be seals, or giant floaters produced by Scotsman who have eaten far too much Haggis or Oxtail Soup.

Roswell

This is clearly a very bad plastic model, perhaps even a prototype teletubby. Perhaps Mr Burns from the Simpsons was based on this puppet.

UFOs

Who am I to question the existence of UFOs and Aliens. The universe is of such immense size, that only a small minded bigot would state that they do not exist. However, this looks like a Frisbee with lights stuck on the bottom of it.
