In 1962 there was a sighting from East Hartland (a town near Granby) of a beast which was rather non-helpfully described as "some kind of animal other than a dog." But interestingly, in regards to the East Granby creature, it was said to have "a trotting stride, but a different kind of trot than a dog."Andrew D.

The first report is a likely bear and the second is a likely mountain lion. Neither of those two animals are anything peculiar by nature, bioth generally get disproportionate build-ups by media coverage. There is essentialy not a lot to go on in either case. <br /><br />The third report speaks of the peculiar mindset of Americans which have a common belief that it is somehow "Right" to ride a horse and "Wrong" to ride on a cow. Some people have led sheltered lives: in some parts of the world, horses are not the best transportation and riding on bovids is considered preferable. This is true particularly in parts of the Orient. So I would consider the entire of the third news item to be worthless. Besides, ghosts are not generally counted as Cryptids, by definition and the general consensus of opinion.<br /><br />Best Wishes, Dale D.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
