I’d disagree with Vermont being the Pigman. Vermont is Champ, same as New York.
Heck, the minor league baseball team in Burlington has him as their logo and mascot!
Geo says
I don’t know, deep in the Vermont woods one can often hear the anguished oink of Pigman!
thorn says
bigfoot is real! he is not a mythincal creature just watch the documentary on Netflix called “discovering bigfoot” the guy that filmed it is pretty convincing.
RJ says
It was more than one there’s many I’m talking about thousands across the United States.
Chapps says
Whoops! Mistake … California is the Dark Watchers (brrrrr!). You’ve put Tahoe Tessie there, although that’s technically Nevada. Of course, I guess that’s also California, since the lake is shared between the two states.
Confused says
What?! I’ve lived in Oklahoma my whole life and never heard of the Oklahoma Octopus!
Eleatta says
I’m trying to purchase a map like this one, for wall decor. Where might I find one?
Maggie says
Alabama is wrong wrong wrong!!! Everyone knows its most famous mythical creature is the Mobile leprechaun!!!
Gretta says
I have never heard of Momo and I don’t know if I want to find out.
Jan Badcleave says
In every southern state, you can replace all those creatures with the mythical Snipe.
Shawn HARRIS says
Well, I don’t know about all that with these mythical creatures as I have been reading and evidently there’s others looking for the same thing that I am! (“ANSWERS”) Right? I do believe or there wouldn’t be any replies to this site. I live in Mississippi and I don’t know but there’s something. When I say there is something here I mean something that when I was taking pictures around my home the other night when my dog just so happened to be very interested in what was going on up underneath my trailer and after 3 photos that I took the last one that I snapped was something that I thought that I seen and when I did I looked away and there was a huge flash of light like if I had stood in front of a mirror and took a picture and when I went through all the pictures that one only looked like a big flash of light like if something didn’t want me to see what I had really seen especially not in any form that I could go and talk about it to anyone without me looking like I am ready to be suited up in a straight jacket! All I know is that whatever it is, is very strong and my dog is so intrigued with it that when we go outside at night walking down the steps he does an about face and stares under the stairs and the porch like he is watching something! My hand to GOD! When we get out of the truck, he will go right over to the tree and look straight up like if there is something there! Now how many dogs do u know that just look up in the trees at night and are that alert? Especially when there isn’t anything their! And when your dog also walks to the gate on the porch and starts growing so viciously when all that is their is vinal siding and a roof and that is what he is staring at is the roof. My daughter told me that she spotted something under my home that looked like a dead monster looking thing that kinda resembled a frog in a way with white colored scaley skin she didn’t see any eyes, it had ears and terrible jagged teeth! Kinda scared me I tell u that because I experience all sorts of things like even my front door being pealed open like a can opener opened it from the inside bottom while my dog is inside and doesn’t have any blood on him anywhere and he is just so terrified! He doesn’t wanna let me out of his sight like something is going to hurt me. Well I can go on for days about this as u can see. I’m so sorry but I have been digging for some answers for about three years oh and my friend down the road said that a stick man was in his yard
Mackenzie Counts says
These… aren’t mythological creatures. These are cryptids. Mythological creatures and cryptids are similar, but still very different.
j says
Nebraska is also wrong. Our creature is the Thunderbird. There’s literal pictures of it. That was disappointing.
Quinn says
On behalf of the state of Wisconsin, I feel wronged. WHERE IS THE HODAG?

Hal Wing says
For Oregon, it’s Bigfoot. Period. All kinds of tourism centered around Bigfoot here; most Oregonians have never heard of “Colossal Claude”. You need to lay off of whatever you’re smoking.
Brilliant Maps says
Noted, and you can be assured we’ve never smoked anything that isn’t legal in the great state of Oregon.
