Yep, there's supposedly a big ass dog around here. As in, bears would piss themselves if they came across him. Some stupid Viking legend.

Just kidding, I live in Hungary. Non-stereotypical politicians colud count, though.

I've actually heard of a suprising amount of myths about my area, i've just never really paid attention to them. I live in Staffordshire in England, maybe someone here knows more than i do.

There's definitely a lot of areas that are incredibly eerie.

Oh actually there is one place not too far from me that's supposedly quite famous for having a crapton of sightings. It's a forest that looks absolutely immense, i saw an image once and it looked like some fantasy painting. There's a myth that it's some kind of portal to another world because of those 2 reasons.
I can't remember it's name though, it's worth finding just to see how awesome the forest looks.

Wow! He's really cool. You draw him?

On topic, I live in Nova Scotia. No one here has had free time since the industrial revolution. Hell, even the hunters just shoot what isn't wearing Walmart attire and immediately begin dicing. Time is money!

So no one has noticed anything supernatural here since the invention of the television. Even pirate ghosts are mostly ignored, or at best have candy thrown at them.

Oh! Someone saw some lights over the Atlantic in Shelbourne once.

Not that I know of.

We do have Fisher Cats though, they sound as scary as hell at night, sort of like someone screaming. And my aunt had a mountain lion in her backyard before. I don't think it was supposed to be there because she lives just outside of Boston.

Here. Some people say they're foxes, but a lot of people don't have fishers where they live, and they both sound similar. The screech is much much worse in person at 3 am.

Supposedly Sasquatch has been sited in my state, but I think the story goes that he's in Washington. I'm honestly not sure, but I have heard stories about people supposedly seeing him in the forest and such.

I think there's a nest of Cliff Ravers not too far from here.

"Champ is the name given to a reputed lake monster living in Lake Champlain, a natural freshwater lake in North America, partially situated across the U.S.-Canada border in the Canadian province of Quebec and partially situated across the Vermont-New York border.While there is no scientific evidence for the cryptid's existence, there have been over 300 reported sightings.The legend of the monster is considered a draw for tourism in the Burlington, Vermont area.

Like the Loch Ness Monster, while most regard Champ as legend, others have speculated it is possible such a creature does live deep in the lake, possibly a relative of the plesiosaur, an extinct group of aquatic reptiles."

The Rutland Panther. It's definately real, one of my friends spotted it in broad daylight in a field just behind her house a couple of years back. A fairly odd sight in the English countryside! (photo below from a different source)



Oh and it did this a few years back (not too bloody, but messy!)


The remains were gone the next day. One day he'll get spotted by a decent photographer with a few grands worth of gear in his hands (me hopefully!).

EDIT: The one thing that bothers me about the gory picture above is the way the deer seems to have been killed (or not). I always thought that, like jaguars, panthers were ambush predators that killed with a serious bite to the back of the neck and skull. This one appears to have been killed from the front.

Live in the everglades do you?

OP: There is a show on the history channel called monster quest that did an episode on big cats in the UK. You might want to look it up here

http://www.history.com/shows/monsterquest/interactives/monsterpedia-black-beast-of-exmoor#black-beast-of-exmoor

as for any urban legends in my area? I live in the Pacific Northwest which as I understand has a fair number of bigfoot sightings.

As far as I am aware the neck snap technique is how big cats kill and from the picture provided it does look like that deers neck is at a strange angle so the cat may have snapped its neck and then torn open the ribcage to get at the juicy organs inside.
