New Technology Exposes Cryptids

The capture of strange creatures

Technology is largely responsible for increased documentation on encounters with photography and video footage. Recent statistics claim at least 6 billion people worldwide have a mobile phone, and nearly half of those phones have a built-in camera, making it easier to photograph events as they happen.

In a few prominent examples, individuals holding positions of authority are even sworn not to disclose information to anyone. This non-disclosure cycle only helps to fuel conspiracy theories and gives witnesses further reason not to release testimony.

Legendary Cryptids examines several strange, unexplained phenomena, some which became popularized in the 20th and 21st centuries due to technological advancements, and some of the lesser known. These creatures are theorized to exist yet lack sufficient physical evidence for science to deem as fact. Compelling eyewitness accounts help drive beliefs and sincere first-hand encounters reinforce the notion that many unknown creatures still roam the planet.
