The local government offered a one million dollar reward for anyone with tangible evidence of the mermaid's existence. In 2013 a video surfaced on the internet claiming to capture the elusive creature, but to date, the reward remains unclaimed. 4 - Real live Unicorns These mythical beasts usually depicted as white horses with a single horn, known for their beauty and grace have appeared in countless stories and legends throughout history. But could these strange creatures be real? In 2008, inside a nature preserve, in the Tuscan town of Prato, near Florence Italy, born in captivity, a Roe Deer was discovered with a single horn mounting the centre of his head. Single-horned deer are rare but not unheard of, spreading the idea that the unicorn myth evolved from these creatures. 3 - Djinns, Dark Genies Djinns are a rare race of supernatural cave-dwelling creatures with usually blu e, tattooed skin, best known as genies. However, unlike the wish-granting genies of traditional legends, this darker breed of magical monster creates powerful hallucinations, sending their victims into a fantasy universe, where they only believe that their wish has been fulfilled. Meanwhile, the djinn drinks their blood, usually slowly savoring the life force over several days. In 2014, inside the Arab city of Dubai, a man was granted a divorce after speaking to his wife's relatives who told him that his new bride was possessed by a djinn; who was controlling her into not wanting to have sex with him. In that same year, Al-Khatib, 33, of Manchester England, murdered his wife on the grounds that she was a Djinn in disguise. 2 - Werewolves These shape-shifting creatures of legend have captured our imaginations for hundreds of years, yet, could these mythical monsters be real? Today, it is widely recognised that there are several medical conditions which can mimic the appearance of a werewolf and may have inspired the folklore. Hypertrichosis is a genetic mutation, even sometimes called werewolf syndrome, that causes people to sprout thick hair on their faces and bodies. There is also the mental disorder known as clinical lycanthropy, where a person believes himself or herself to be an animal. In 1589, a German man named Peter Stubbe claimed to own a belt of wolfskin which allowed him to change into a wolf. Stubbe alleged to killing at least a dozen people over 25 years and was consequently decapitated on Halloween of that same year; his headless body was burned at the stake. 1 - Ghosts Spectres, phantoms, apparitions, spirits, call them what you will, but ghost stories have been terrifying the living for centuries. Restless souls from beyond the grave, ghosts are best known to be dead humans or animals with unfinished business who haunt particular locations, objects and sometimes people. Legends of the undead have fascinated humankind throughout the centuries and in modern times continue to inspire us with a multitude of television shows and movies dedicated to hunting the transparent creatures. Orbs of light can sometimes be seen hiding inside the layers of film in photographs and are thought to be floating souls of the dearly departed. Static on old fashioned tv screens, better known as white noise, is thought to be the dead attempting to communicate with us. The stories are countless; the legends range from across the globe, from every region and culture, the evidence is stacked with video footage, photographic prints, and eye witness accounts. Haunted houses, abandoned hospitals and sleep paralysis are just a few places where modern day ghouls can be found. In 2014, Fox 43's Nick Petrillo claimed he was scratched and burned by a ghost while filming a possessed Pennsylvania home. The couple Deanna and Tom Simpson have lived inside the haunted house for seven years despite the constant attacks they attest to ghosts. In physics, the law of the conservation of energy states that energy can neither be created or destroyed, but can only change form. What happens to our bodies after we die? What becomes of our immortal soul? Could ghosts explain this transference of energy after death? Or are we all simply seeing bumps in the dark of our overactive desensitized imaginations.
