Example - My great-grandmother swore 'til the day she died that this story was true. Back when she was a young adult in Ireland, she was driving a horse & cart that suddenly stopped in the middle of the road for no apparent reason. She got out and looked under the cart to see what was the matter, and saw a leprechaun underneathe it. When he noticed she'd discovered him, he disappeared. My great-grandmother was not crazy, she was a no-nonsense type of woman, and a saint (not literally an actual saint by the Catholic Church, but you know what I mean).
So what are your stories, and/or your opinions on these creatures? Do not criticize or berate another person for their answer.

Well, I've seen a fairy. I was sitting in the grass in a big circle of Pagans right before the opening ritual for the weekend. Incidentally, I turned my head from left to right and there was a face in the grass as I turned my head. Now, I DID question myself on this, and knowing a faery's nature I understood that if I looked back it wouldn't be there. So, I figured that if I looked back and I couldn't see anything in the grass that looked like the face I had seen, it was a faery. And lo and behold, it was. That point was proven the other day when I was staring at the carpet and I noticed a face. Even today, more than a week later, I can still find that face. The face in the grass was GONE.
Also, I'm currently being stalked by an incubus, so I kind of believe in demonic presences.
I bet ghosts are real, too.

Mythological creatures? Really Existing? NAHHH!!!
mythological creatures are creations of people in the old to explain anything they saw and could not understand. Most mythological creatures haven’t even got a practical anatomy to survive and we all know how nature likes to be practical and omit any unnecessary anatomical features. It’s all about economy and practicality. I mean why the hell would there be such a thing as a Chimera with three different heads and what would the explanation be behind mermaids in their evolution. If there were such creatures such as the Loch Ness monster, wouldn’t a 10 minute scan from a satellite have found it by now?
I think your great-grandmother ran over a midget with her cart…

I feel dragons were probably real. Especially since there are ancient stories of them from all around the world when other countries had yet to discover those across the oceans. Yahoo! once reported that there was dig where an ancient "reptile" was found to have wings sort of like a bat's. If you think about it, dragons could have just been dinosaurs that survived and just morphed over the years. Like alligators and sharks, who have metamorphed from prehistoric ancestors.
Cool story about the leprechaun, by the way.

Well if it exists it's obviously not a myth anymore.
But just last night I had a dream where I think there was a creature which was a cross between a buffalo and a lion.... and well I was wondering if the lion would go after such a creature.... I guess it's just like that one video they have out now with the different types of "deer-men" ~ where the one guy goes after the other.... that's sad...sad old widler.... hope for vegan awareness

I have seen many things. I beleive in Loch Ness as the lake is so deep anything could be there. The leprechaun I think could be real. But then science also tells us that molecule manipulation is possible. It is possible the leprechuan used a chameleon coat or something..... however I like your question.
It prompted some interesting answers

I think that it's possible all mythological creatures may exist. After all, no one can prove to me that they don't.
Anyways, I mostly believe in faeries, merpeople, dragons (at one time), bigfoot, lochness monster, aliens, werecreatures, and vampires. I actually know a werewolf and a few vampires, but I don't really think of them as mythological creatures but as people that I know and love. I think that faeries are nearby sometimes, because I believe I can feel their presence when they're there.
I believe that there are many things in this world and universe that we don't know about because we're too ignorant to see and believe. The proof is all around us if we really pay attention.

I think that the Loch Ness monster is probably real. There have been other sightings of lake monsters in other lakes around the world, as well. I just wish that they could some up with some incontrovertible proof so that people will quit thinking that I an nuts for believing in them.
I also think that Bigfoot is probably real.

I firmly believe in Leprechauns. It is said that if anyone of Irish background does not believe in Leprechauns, the entire race of Leprechauns will die. I absolutely refuse to take that responsibiity, so yes, I do believe in Leprechauns

I would have to say the Snowman/Bigfoot, I mean how many Deers to you see running around, without being a hunter or them crossing the road? And lots of crazy water beings too.
