Cryptozoologists refer to these entities as cryptids, a term coined by the subculture. Because it does not follow the scientific method, cryptozoology is considered a pseudoscience by the academic world: it is neither a branch of zoology nor folkloristics. It was originally founded in the 1950s by zoologists Bernard Heuvelmans and Ivan T. Sanderson.

Inexplicable by Stewart Stafford
I ran into Bigfoot,
Or John Paul Yeti,
Told me of aliens,
Found by SETI.
E.T.s kidnapped me,
And I lost two hours,
Hurts to sit down now,
They never sent flowers.
Nessie gives the hump,
Or is it a boat’s wake?
So proud to be Scottish,
Bagpipes in the loch/lake.
