Meaning in English: Cryptids are creatures found in stories, drawings and oral cultural history that some believe to exist. Circumstantial evidence of cryptids has been reported and in some cases preserved, but the creatures have yet to be definitively proven to exist by scientific standards. Examples of Appalachian Region cryptids include: Bigfoot (Sasquatch), Wampus Cat (Cherokee Death Cat), Moth Man, Flatwoods & Grafton Monsters, and Moon-eyed People (Cherokee Little People) among others.Snowbird Cryptid Research
