Miss Jackson if you’re nasty!) 2. The term cyrtid was coined by J.E. Wall in 1983. (Fun!) 3. Few cryptozoologists have a formal science education. (Education is super over-rated, guys! Just make stuff up!) 4. Come for Chupacabra and stay for the Lizard People. (Grab a nice frothy beverage and enjoy the Enfield Monster!) 5. No fossils. No remains. No footprints. No remnants. (Boring! Just bring your imagination and let’s go to the woods!) Sweet Dreams. XoxoZzzzzz. Genre Storytelling
