Creatures, Cryptids, and Legends of the States
Frozen Bigfoot A rare bigfoot discovery happened in Atlanta, Georgia, on 19 August 2008. This discovery was one that made many prick their ears up to. Matthew Whitton and Rick Dyer, self-proclaimed Bigfoot trackers, claimed they discovered the corpse of a real half-human half-ape creature. Many were ready to write it off as another phony sighting or a hoax until the two publicly said they had it stored in a freezer, released detailed and up-close pictures of it, and even agreed to let anyone perform a test on the corpse that wanted to. This made many believe in the possibility a real sasquatch was found.

Can the Paranormal Be Psychological?
The existence of ghosts is widely debated in our world. There are those on every level ranging from those that claim to see and speak to the dead, those that believe there is something paranormal in our world and have general experiences, and those that claim all stories are fake and are generally skeptical that there is a way for a spirit to live on after the body is long gone. Many documented events occur in haunted locations where individuals see, hear, and experience the same things which allow many to assume this landmark is haunted. However, could this be a case of worldwide conformity and psychological manipulation rather than lived incidents?
