What is your opinion on cryptids?

You forgot the Lake Champlain Monster. The have been numerous sightings since Samuel De Champlain in 1609. The was a remarkable photo taken on the east shore of Lake Champlain in 1977 if I remember correctly(Mansi photo). It has gone through all types of ysis available. It so far, has not failed as to the authenticity of the photo and the fact that it was of a living creature. I personally have not seen it (or them) but there are enough eyewitnesses and photos to indicate it is indeed there.
