15 Completely Useless Cryptids

Not all mythological creatures are as impressive as dragons or sasquatch; some are downright weak, not worth the publicity, or way too easy to explain. Take the Flatwoods Monster:

Another of these possibly alien types, the Flatwoods Monster appears to be someone’s hellish vision of a nun, mixed with alien effects budget of the final season of the original Star Treck. Standing 10 feet high, with bulging eyes, a heart shaped red face, and in a pleated green skirt, the Flatwoods Monster terrorized a group of preteens, who couldn’t decide if it had short stubby claw arms or not, when later asked. It reportedly made a shrill hissing noise, and glided around. You know what else has a shrill hiss, heart shaped face, glides, and could easily be misconstrued by terrified 12 year olds? A barn owl.
