The Bear Lake Monster

There’s an extreme number of books and films released every year. From this considerable list of entertainment there will most likely be mythical monsters. The Odyssey is a story that has many mystical monsters you would even have thought could be imagined. Out of all the movies and books ever made, there are many monsters that have been created. I discovered my monster by watching a horror film. “Tasty, tasty, beautiful fear”, this is a quote from a monster in a recent movie.

In the short story, Johnny Bear by John Steinbeck, the town of Loma appears to be secretive and strange. The character Johnny bear is considering a shadow that represents a personality that we have neglected within ourselves. The people in Loma would have their secret reveal by Johnny Bear, who would imitate anything he heard through windows and repeats what he hears when someone buys him whiskey. When no one offers him whiskey, he crouched and begins to listen through windows were he hear a conversation that was private. He hears the private conversation between the Hawkins sisters, one of the sisters Amy who said, “I can’t quite understand it. Are you some kind of monster?”(Steinbeck 153). When Johnny exposed the sister’s conversation it

Stephen King’s short story “The Boogeyman” is a thrilling adventure that incorporates an urban legend that has many names throughout the world, and therefore makes any reader able to identify with this story. It pulls you in, making you question whether the stories your parents, cousins, or siblings you had finally deemed as unrealistic and fake were fictional at all. Why is King’s story so eerie? Is it the realism in the story, or the fact that the creature being described may have always been a small weakness for you? The scientific article “The Bogeyman” in which we are explained the origin and purpose for the monster may have the answers to these questions. After all, how probable is it that an unidentified creature will happen to appear in sight tonight?

By listing the what myth monsters came from South America, Greek, Native American, and so on, Trout succeeds in giving the reader an idea of what the monsters were and where they came from. According to Trout, “everyday over the course of several million years, our ancestors saw and heard living creatures being torn apart and

I mustn't remember the terrible horrors I have gone through to turn up here. It is very hard to even think about it. As I was making my way down here, I was attacked by a black bear, apparently a native of this area. It grabbed my leg with its large jaw. It was

Bill Ellis’s, “Death by Folklore: Ostension, Contemporary Legend, and Murder,” speaks to how cultural and societal fear can not only form and inform legend, but can inspire real world, physical consequences. These consequences are material acts known as Ostension. Ostension is the liminal ground where the narrative of legend meets personal experience. Ostension, and particularly legend-tripping, is, by necessity, grown out of the cultural source hypothesis, as both require knowledge of a legend before the experience can occur. The first stage of the legend-trip, according to Michael Kinsella in the chapter,“The Performance of Legend-Tripping,” is the telling or retelling of the narrative(s) of the site or ritual participants are about to embark

I have never really visited Bear Lake a whole lot, but when I did go there it was to visit friends and fish I think. From what I know, I believe that the stories about the monster in the lake came around in the 1800’s when the pioneers were over there trying to get things built. The settlers who were there during that time, claimed that the lake monster was capable of eating cattle, and had reported that a few of their cattle had been eaten by the monster when the cattle were being sent down to the lake to get water. However, I don’t think that there were any reports of people being eaten by it, so it must have only preferred the cows that came down to water, and figured that they were easy to

The Legends of the Seminoles, as told by Betty Mae Jumper, each explore the universal concepts of cause and effect, and the importance of relationships. Each legend has a completely different way of exploring the same universal concepts. For example, the legend may be about two humans as in the legend titled “Two Hunters” or it may use two animals as in the other two legends “Alligator” and “The Little Turtle and the Wolf”. Each of these legends teaches the reader something different about these three universal concepts.

The scientific information provided by these photos have various claims that for this monster to go for this long through its survival there has to be a certain form of mating which therefore does not in any way disprove the Loch News creatures and their existence. With no doubt therefore, the findings critically give strong support that there has been an animal like the Loch News creature living in that lake. Other people still think that the Loch news monster is a popular myth and a false occurrence. “And those who oppose the legitimacy tries to disprove it by claiming that the photos which were took of the monster were doctored and are of completely other objects” (Cray

The next sight of a black and white bear was only 200 miles northwest of Orr on a island . Although spirit bear Named Halo he had caused such a media stir although that the Minnesota legislature

The Lock Ness Monster is a complete mystery for everyone, no one knows if he/she is real, there has been lots of sightings, photos and videos, but none are known to be genuine. Lots of people think that this creature is real, and lots of other people think that this Loch Ness monster is definitely just a fake. But, let’s see what kind of information we can get.

What did the early American pioneers see when traveling the uninhabited wilderness of the early 1800’s? Could they have be seeing a black bear standing momentarily on its hind legs or was it actually what we now call Bigfoot today (“The Canadian Encyclopedia”). The origin of Bigfoot dates even further back to Native American myths portraying a large aggressive ape like animal walking on its hind legs eating children and animals (“New World Encyclopedia”). Since then there have been thousands of reports of supposed Bigfoot sightings including footprints, photos, videos and the actual carcass of a deceased Bigfoot. For over 80 years scientist have been discrediting the thought of the existence of Bigfoot, but throughout time scientist have

The Loch ness monster myth has been around for a very long time. Deep down in the depths of Loch Ness Lake, this monster has been averting capture and clear documentation from humans for over 80 years. Sounds ridiculous doesn’t it? This myth is a lot like the legend of Bigfoot. Although some may believe in the existence of Bigfoot, Bigfoot is not real because there is a lack of evidence, other theories, and it overall just isn’t logical. Therefore, Bigfoot is fake.

During 1893, in Rhineland, Wisconsin a mythical beast had emerged from the wilderness. Eugene Shepard, who was a local resident and elder in Rhineland, was out on his weekly hike when he stumbled across an odd creature. This creature was green, about a foot tall, seven feet long, and weighed about 200 hundred pounds. It had razor sharp teeth like a saber tooth tiger, white long claws, spikes of all sizes running all down its spine, and red glowing eyes that one could not help but stare into. Not sure what to do, Shepard hurried back to town to tell everyone his discovery. Town folk and lumberjacks gathered weapons, guns, and dogs to search for this newly discovered Hodag. He led his group to his normal hiking trail, but instead of finding the

Montana’s Flathead Lake Monster is said to be roaming around the cold lake and swims at the highest point of the lake creating giant wave leaving the other part of the river calm.
