From Quiz American Things that go Bump in the Night

Answer: Skunk Ape

The skunk ape is said to be an upright primate that emits a horrible, skunk-like stench. They have been reported since the early 1900s and described as 6-10 feet tall, aggressive, meat-eating, furry humanoids. This legendary creature is to the Florida swamps what Big Foot is to the Pacific Northwest. The likelihood of jaknginger ever seeing a skunk ape is slim as she will never enter the Florida swamps.

From Quiz The Nain Rouge - Harbinger of Doom

Answer: Detroit

The legend says the Nain Rouge was a protector of the lands that Fort Pontchartrain du Détroit was eventually founded on in 1701. The founders, including Antoine de La Mothe Cadillac and 51 others, allegedly were rude to the creature and forcibly removed it from the confines of the fort.

From Quiz You Can't Kill That Zombie

Answer: Gun

According to my meager knowledge on this problem, I would have to shoot them in the head. I hope I have enough bullets, there are quite a few of them, and I see more coming!

From Quiz With Sharp Pointy Teeth

Answer: Bodmin

The Beast of Bodmin is a large black cat like creature which is supposed to be living wild on Bodmin Moor in Cornwall. There have been regular sightings of it over many years, with most reports saying it resembles a panther.

From Quiz I'm Really Sick of Vampires

Answer: The Vampyre

Polidori's idea to create this precursor to the vampire genre emerged from a quite famous gathering at Villa Diodati. While the stories, which emerged from said gathering, included Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein", "The Vampyre" was also quite monumental in its own right. Based on a character known as Aubrey, the tale follows a young man who takes himself along in the company of the gentlemanly, aristocratic Lord Ruthven. Eventually, he comes to discover that there is something not right about the man who has a tendency to allure women around him before they mysteriously disappear. Overall this story, a roman a clef, was a thinly-veiled satire. In real life, Polidori related Lord Ruthven to the famous Lord Byron and Aubrey to himself. In a sense, it was a matter of making fun of his former boss. Make sure you watch who you're spending your time with!

From Quiz All About Hairy

Answer: Washington

The miners reported that a large group of bigfoot creatures tried breaking into their cabin during the night, apparently to get to the miners. In 1950 a man named Jim Carter was skiing with a group in the area, but left the group on his own to film a documentary. Later, when he didn't return, the rest of the group went looking for him. Following the trail his skis had made, the group couldn't believe the risks that he had taken, making daring jumps that no experienced skiier would have ever attempted. They surmised the only possible explaination is that Mr. Carter was running from something in an attempt to save his own life. One of the group members stated that he felt as though he had been watched by someone or something since he came into the area. Mr. Carter was never seen again. In 1980 Ape Canyon was reportedly destroyed by the eruption of Mount St. Helens.

Other legends say that a phoenix could live up to 97,200 years. At the end of its life, as death approached, it built itself a pyre of wild cinnamon and then perished in the flames. However fine its ashes, a new phoenix always arose. The new phoenix encased its parent's ashes in an egg of myrrh and then flew the egg to the Egyptian city of Heliopolis and placed the egg on the Altar of the Sun.

From Quiz American Things that go Bump in the Night

Answer: Altamaha-Ha

The Altamaha-Ha is a legendary creature believed to live in the waters of the Altamaha river. It is described variously as sturgeon-like with bony ridges and/or with an alligator- like snout. When rotting remains were found on Wolf Island, excitement grew, but they proved to be a hoax, possibly by a performance artist known as Zardulu, whose own existence has also been called into question.

From Quiz Help! The MOTHMAN's Out There...

Answer: a group of gravediggers

On November 12, five men digging a grave saw a figure fly over them. A few days, later, Roger and Linda Scarberry and Steve and Mary Mallette sighted the Mothman between the hours of 11:30 and midnight. They said it definitely wasn't a "flying saucer". They saw it three times, since each time they drove away, they would get to the center of town and then turn around and go back and look for the creature. It seemed that the Mothman followed them, gliding, every time they left, but would leave them when they reached the lights of the town, so they felt he was averse to light. Incidentally, they also said they hadn't been drinking.

Answer: an Indian burial mound

Mark's granddaughter now works with me, and she reports that he only talked about the incident to her father, Joe Schackelman.
