The threat is purely metaphysical. I'm afraid of them (and love them) because they're uncanny.
I was saddened by the confession of the man who apparently faked the famous Loch Ness photograph, and I was saddened to find out that the famous film of the Ape Man Walking was also a fake.
But stuff keeps showing up. In The Snow Leopard, Peter Matthiessen's moving account of his journey to Nepal's Crystal Mountain (with George Schaller, who was funded by the National Geographic Society), Matthiessen speaks at length about the Yeti, which is apparently seen high in the snowy mountains by the Buddhist monks who dwell there.
Almost every community can come up with a story about a local monster. Back in the late 1800s, near Bull Run creek, a creature was seen (and smelled) on several occasions. It was very tall, shaggy, and stank.
I've often wondered if there are areas of fluidity that allow connection between other, maybe parallel worlds.
There's a famous story about a farmer who disappeared in a field in front of his family, and they kept hearing his weak cries for help near the place where he'd disappeared.
Tantalizing, all of this. And so little real information.
