South of the Border

Walking the Shadowlands

Today we’re going to be looking at cryptozoological creatures and monsters, things that go bump in the night and haunt your dreams. These are creatures of our nightmares and sometimes our waking hours. But, are these creatures of the night that terrorize us as kids, and perhaps as adults, merely the results of nightmares and overactive imaginations? Or, the results of a parent’s using cautionary tales to keep their kids safe? Or is there a reality behind them?

Certainly, most cultures worldwide have their store of legends and myths that persist in many places in the world, up to this very day. Legends, or are they really cryptozoological beings like the Bigfoot, Yowie, or New Zealand’s own Moehau Man? Are these genuine beings or merely cultural legends passed down from generation to generation?

We are going explore this part of the shadowlands, but, south of the border, down Mexico way – as the lyrics of a very old song tell us.
