Hidebehinds are large dog-like creatures found in the stories of lumberjacks. Hidebehinds are described as large dog-like creatures with black, shaggy fur, long, sharp claws, and a tail. The Hidebehind gets its name due to the fact that it hides behind people and when they turn around the Hidebehind hides behind an object or runs behind the person so it isn’t seen then once it gets close enough the Hidebehind kills its victim and then eats them. Experts believe that the Hidebehinds could be black bears.
The more modern interest in the legendary Loch Ness Monster was ignited after several sightings that took place in 1933. One of the sightings was recorded in the Inverness Courier in May. The witnesses of the May encounter reported “an enormous animal rolling and plunging” on the surface of the water. In June of the same year, George Spicer and his wife claimed to have seen an unknown creature cross the road on which they were traveling until it reached the waters of the loch and vanished. Spicer said that the creature was about 4 feet tall and 25 feet long with a strangely long neck that was a little thicker than an elephant’s trunk. The creature had no visible legs.
