Mythical creatures are defined as a legendary or mythological creature, (also called fabulous creatures or fabulous beast), is a supernatural animal/ plant or paranormal entity, generally a hybrid, sometimes part human (such as sirens), whose existence has not or cannot be proven and that is described in folklore (myths).
There are many mythical creatures that are told about and almost every culture or country has at least one.
Japan has Hanako-San the toilet ghost
Latin America has one name La Llorona and they even made a movie about her.
Even my country has some which are Steel Donkey and Heartman
But...
Question : Where did these stories about them come from ?
Like let's take vampires for example,
There is a disease called Porphyria cutanea tarda (PCT) is a type of porphyria or blood disorder that affects the skin. PCT is one of the most common types of porphyria. It's sometimes referred to colloquially as vampire disease. That's because people with this condition often experience symptoms following exposure to sunlight.
Is it possible that someone saw someone with that illnesss and thats how the whope vampire thing started ?
I can't really say anything about Mermaids or Sirens,
But werewolves on the other hand I can
There is another disease called Hypertrichosis, also known as werewolf syndrome, is a condition characterized by excessive hair growth anywhere on a person's body. It can affect both women and men, but it's extremely rare. The abnormal hair growth may cover the face and body or occur in small patches
Now someone in the middle ages could have seen someone with this and that's how the story began
But hey even tho we might not know where they really originated from but they do make good entertainment in Movies
