The Chronicles of Enigma series
In Chronicles of Enigma – Vol. 1 – Strange Creatures and Timeless Legends, author Brian Haddock presents an intriguing exploration of famous cryptids, monsters, and “timeless legends.” The book is the first volume in a forthcoming seven-volume series that delves into paranormal and esoteric subjects, including cryptids, crimes, conspiracies, eerie locations, unusual individuals, ghosts, UFOs/UAPs, and much more. This series promises to be an exhilarating journey through the supernatural, with Chronicles of Enigma – Vol. 1 – Strange Creatures and Timeless Legends kicking off the series in an impressive manner.
Why cryptids and strange beasts?
It is estimated that there are up to 100 million species on Earth, yet only around 2 million have been formally discovered and documented in scientific records. This represents just a fraction of all species that have existed, leaving more than 700 million species unaccounted for. Could some of these species still be around today? What types of species remain to be found? Or have they already been discovered but dismissed as myths or labeled as “cryptids,” with their existence supported only by folklore or anecdotal evidence?
In Chronicles of Enigma – Vol. 1 – Strange Creatures and Timeless Legends, Haddock explores nearly two dozen cryptids, including Bigfoot, the Minerva Monster, Colorado Bigfoot, Yeti, the Almas Wild Men of Mongolia, Werewolves, Chupacabra, the Dover Demon, the Mongolian Death Worm, Arkansas Gowrow, the Devil’s Footprints, Gef the Talking Mongoose, vampires, the Jersey Devil, Snallygaster, Mothman, the Dafara Creature, Beluga the Talking Whale, the Canvey Island Monster, the Loch Ness Monster, the Loveland Frog, Cadborosaurus, and other fascinating creatures.
Regardless of your belief (or non-belief), remember that during the 1800’s, there were tales of giant dragons on a small island in Indonesia. Westerners couldn’t quit talking about them. Scientists scoffed. Merian C. Cooper wrote a classic book based on them (King Kong). Then, in 1910, a scientist captured one and returned it to New York City. The Komodo dragon was beyond what anyone could have imagined.
Similar instances abound. Witnesses arrived in England with reports of weird beavers with duck bills (platypus). Expeditions returned to France with tales of a giant human-like creature covered in hair (gorilla). Visitors to remote Oceania returned home giddy-eyed with stories of a giant rat-like creature with the arms of a man and the tail of a monkey (kangaroo). All were believed by scientists to be non-existent until they were proven to exist.
