Cryptozoology and Monsters Trivia Questions

1. Similarly described as a Sasquatch or Big Foot, which legendary and odiferous creature is at home in the Florida swamps and forests?

From Quiz
American Things that go Bump in the Night

Answer: Skunk Ape

The skunk ape is said to be an upright primate that emits a horrible, skunk-like stench. They have been reported since the early 1900s and described as 6-10 feet tall, aggressive, meat-eating, furry humanoids. This legendary creature is to the Florida swamps what Big Foot is to the Pacific Northwest. The likelihood of jaknginger ever seeing a skunk ape is slim as she will never enter the Florida swamps.

2. What city does the Nain Rouge allegedly haunt?

From Quiz The Nain Rouge - Harbinger of Doom

Answer: Detroit

The legend says the Nain Rouge was a protector of the lands that Fort Pontchartrain du Détroit was eventually founded on in 1701. The founders, including Antoine de La Mothe Cadillac and 51 others, allegedly were rude to the creature and forcibly removed it from the confines of the fort. That slight caused the creature to curse them all, and their descendants. Later the fort became known as the City of Detroit.

3. Help! I was in a graveyard today, and a bunch of zombies followed me home. According to what I've read and seen, there's only one way to get rid of them. I have several things handy, now which one should I use?

From Quiz You Can't Kill That Zombie

Answer: Gun

According to my meager knowledge on this problem, I would have to shoot them in the head. I hope I have enough bullets, there are quite a few of them, and I see more coming! I hope there won't be too many. Supposedly zombies were dead, then brought back through Voodoo. This legend originated in Haiti and before that, perhaps, Africa.

4. In what state was the Mothman first sighted?

From Quiz Help! The MOTHMAN's Out There...

Answer: West Virginia

The Mothman was first sighted from November 15, 1966 to December 15, 1967, in the state of West Virginia, a mountainous state in the Appalachian region of the United States. There are two mountain ranges in West Virginia, the Allegheny and the Blue Ridge, both of which are a part of the Appalachian Mountain range.

5. From Cornwall come reports of sightings of a large black cat. This is referred to as "The Beast of. . ." where?

From Quiz With Sharp Pointy Teeth

Answer: Bodmin

The Beast of Bodmin is a large black cat like creature which is supposed to be living wild on Bodmin Moor in Cornwall. There have been regular sightings of it over many years, with most reports saying it resembles a panther. Local farmers blame it for various instances of sheep being found dead from an obvious animal attack. Over the years there have been photographs taken, but none of these have been sharp enough or close enough to give conclusive proof.

6. Plagued by vampires, are we? If there's one thing to be learned from John Polidori's story, it's that you shouldn't hang around them too much. What was the name of this prototypical vampire work?

From Quiz I'm Really Sick of Vampires

Answer: The Vampyre

Polidori's idea to create this precursor to the vampire genre emerged from a quite famous gathering at Villa Diodati. While the stories, which emerged from said gathering, included Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein", "The Vampyre" was also quite monumental in its own right. Based on a character known as Aubrey, the tale follows a young man who takes himself along in the company of the gentlemanly, aristocratic Lord Ruthven. Eventually, he comes to discover that there is something not right about the man who has a tendency to allure women around him before they mysteriously disappear. Overall this story, a roman a clef, was a thinly-veiled satire. In real life, Polidori related Lord Ruthven to the famous Lord Byron and Aubrey to himself. In a sense, it was a matter of making fun of his former boss. Make sure you watch who you're spending your time with!

7. Where was the Chupacabra first reported?

From Quiz Bigfoot and Others

Answer: Puerto Rico

The Chupacabra or the "goat-sucker" is rumored to stalk streets, kill livestock, and terrorize neighborhoods. It was given its name in Puerto Rico in 1990s.

8. In what county is Bray Road located?

From Quiz Beast of Bray Road

Answer: Walworth

Bray Road is located in Walworth county between the cities of Delavan and Elkhorn. It is a small country road that begins at the intersection of HWY 11 and Bowers Rd and ends at HWY NN, just east of the city of Elkhorn.

9. In 1924 a group of miners reported being attacked by a group of creatures, now known as bigfoot. The attack occurred in "Ape Canyon". What state was "Ape Canyon" located in?

From Quiz All About Hairy

Answer: Washington

The miners reported that a large group of bigfoot creatures tried breaking into their cabin during the night, apparently to get to the miners. In 1950 a man named Jim Carter was skiing with a group in the area, but left the group on his own to film a documentary. Later, when he didn't return, the rest of the group went looking for him. Following the trail his skis had made, the group couldn't believe the risks that he had taken, making daring jumps that no experienced skiier would have ever attempted. They surmised the only possible explaination is that Mr. Carter was running from something in an attempt to save his own life. One of the group members stated that he felt as though he had been watched by someone or something since he came into the area. Mr. Carter was never seen again. In 1980 Ape Canyon was reportedly destroyed by the eruption of Mount St. Helens.

10. How many nights a month would a werewolf transform into his wolf shape according to traditional western folklore?

From Quiz The Legend of the Werewolf

Answer: Three

In the moon cycle, the moon is only full for one night every month. But in traditional werewolf lore, it is three.

11. Monster, monster, in a fix. Monster numbered 666 Good or bad or worse and worse... Who's the monster in this verse?

From Quiz More Monsters

Answer: the beast

According to the Revelation of John the Divine, the "number of the beast" is 666. As far as I know none of the others has a specific number associated with it. The sphinx, the kraken and sirens are all monsters given to riddling, singing and crunching.

12. What living creatures do vampires most resemble? You can answer this, so please don't tremble.

From Quiz Three Major Monsters

Answer: mosquitoes, mites and fleas.

Mosquitoes, mites and fleas Is the answer, if you please! They live on blood all three Birds and bats might fly, perchance Your old master? Not a chance! By night the rats and foxes bite But dogs do not hunt much at night And as for Bunn and Yorga, Drac They're not alive, and that's their lack.

13. What does the name Chupacabras mean?

From Quiz The Chupacabras

Answer: Goat Sucker

The name Chupacabras is Spanish in origin. Although the creature feeds on other animals, it seems to have a fondness for goats.

14. A creature known as "Ogopogo" is said to reside within a lake that is found in what area?

From Quiz Monsters And Other Wild Creatures

Answer: Canada

The creature resides in Lake Okanagan in the British Columbia section of Canada. It is apparently a sea creature (along the lines of the Loch Ness Monster.)

15. What, according to legend, arises from the ashes of a phoenix's funeral pyre?

From Quiz Strange Creatures and Monsters

Answer: Another phoenix

As legend has it, no two phoenix birds could live at the same time. Hesiod, a Greek poet of the eighth century BC, said that a phoenix could live as long as nine life spans of a raven. Other legends say that a phoenix could live up to 97,200 years. At the end of its life, as death approached, it built itself a pyre of wild cinnamon and then perished in the flames. However fine its ashes, a new phoenix always arose. The new phoenix encased its parent's ashes in an egg of myrrh and then flew the egg to the Egyptian city of Heliopolis and placed the egg on the Altar of the Sun.

16. It might well be the most famous of monsters, this beast reputedly lurks in the depths of Scotland's Loch Ness. When and by who was the first sighting of Nessie?

From Quiz Cryptozoology

Answer: Saint Columba 565AD

17. Who was the vampire in the 1960s' soap opera 'Dark Shadows'?

From Quiz Famous Vampires

Answer: Barnabas Collins

Portrayed by Jonathan Frid.

18. In which year was the first sighting of Nessie, according to stories?

From Quiz "Nessie", the Loch Ness Monster

Answer: 565 AD

The earliest written record of a sighting of the Loch Ness monster is from 565 AD when St. Columba is said to have driven a beast back into the water. An account of the event is included in the "Life of St. Columba" by Adomnán, written in the 7th century AD.

19. In 2018, on Wolf Island off the coast of Georgia, decomposing remains were found, initially believed to be the remains of which creature of local folklore?

From Quiz American Things that go Bump in the Night

Answer: Altamaha-Ha

The Altamaha-Ha is a legendary creature believed to live in the waters of the Altamaha river. It is described variously as sturgeon-like with bony ridges and/or with an alligator- like snout. When rotting remains were found on Wolf Island, excitement grew, but they proved to be a hoax, possibly by a performance artist known as Zardulu, whose own existence has also been called into question. The other options are aquatic cryptids from the Congo, Italy and Patagonia. Red team's smpdit reflects that wild swimming could be somewhat hazardous considering how many unknown creatures are apparently out there!

20. The creature is said to have appeared prior to what battle, where 58 soldiers were slaughtered by Native Americans?

From Quiz The Nain Rouge - Harbinger of Doom

Answer: Battle of Bloody Run

Chief Pontiac's tribe killed 58 British soldiers and watched as the Detroit River ran red with blood. It was reported that the creature was seen dancing on the banks of the river prior to the battle.

21. A demonic creature in Japan is called the Namahage. One day every year, a Namahage goes door to door on the lookout for misbehaving children. On what day do the Namahage traditionally come out?

From Quiz Things We Tell Kids to Scare Them!

Answer: New Year's Day

Every New Year's Day, the Namahage go door to door asking the parents if there are any lazy or crybaby children in the household. If the parents say no, they move onto the next house.

22. Who supposedly first saw the Mothman in November 1966?

From Quiz Help! The MOTHMAN's Out There...

Answer: a group of gravediggers

On November 12, five men digging a grave saw a figure fly over them. A few days, later, Roger and Linda Scarberry and Steve and Mary Mallette sighted the Mothman between the hours of 11:30 and midnight. They said it definitely wasn't a "flying saucer". They saw it three times, since each time they drove away, they would get to the center of town and then turn around and go back and look for the creature. It seemed that the Mothman followed them, gliding, every time they left, but would leave them when they reached the lights of the town, so they felt he was averse to light. Incidentally, they also said they hadn't been drinking.

23. There is a large serpent cryptid that was given the name Bessie, a play on the ever-famous Nessie. Bessie is said to reside in one of the Great Lakes, but which one?

From Quiz A Shadow's Silhouette

Answer: Lake Erie

Lake Erie is said to be the home of Bessie, which is described as a very large snake-like creature at least an entire foot in diameter, and 30 to 60 feet in length. Many sightings have been reported, interestingly three of which all occurred in 1817, and several more in the 1890s. Like many other marine cryptids, descriptions of the beast do vary. Some claim they saw arms on it, some say the head was dog shaped, and still others claim there are fins. Others believe it to appear simply as a giant snake.

24. There have been reports of a large cat roaming the Cambridgeshire area from the 1950s through to the present time. What is it popularly known as?

From Quiz With Sharp Pointy Teeth

Answer: The Fen Tiger

There have been reports of sightings of a large fawn coloured striped cat, known as The Fen Tiger since the 1950s. It seems to move over quite large areas, with sightings being anything up to 30 miles apart. There were 34 reported sightings of a large cat in the Cambridgeshire area in 2004, and this is one rumour that the British Big Cat Society believes to be true.

25. The Mokele-mbembe is reported to be what prehistoric animal?

From Quiz Bigfoot and Others

Answer: dinosaur

The African natives have reported seeing a dinosaur like creature in their native swamps and have actually reported killing one of the creatures. Although it has been sighted by many of the locals, it has yet to be positively identified or photographed by anyone outside the area.

26. In 1936, Mark Schackelman reportedly encountered a talking wolfman just east of Jefferson, Wisconsin. Mark came upon the creature when it was digging in what?

From Quiz Beast of Bray Road

Answer: an Indian burial mound

Mark Schackelman, who is a relative of mine, encountered the beast digging in an Indian burial mound just outside of Jefferson on Hwy 18. Mark was a night watchman at St. Colletta, a school for the mentally handicapped, and came upon the beast as his shift was ending. Mark was a low-keyed man and didn't tell anyone for years about the sighting until the next report was written. Mark's granddaughter now works with me, and she reports that he only talked about the incident to her father, Joe Schackelman.

27. In 2002 the name of this man appeared in newspaper headlines across the country. Some touted that with his death, bigfoot had died too. Who was this man?

From Quiz All About Hairy

Answer: Ray Wallace

In 2002, the family of Ray Wallace, announced that he had in fact created the alleged bigfoot tracks, that appeared in a logging camp in 1958. It was due to the size of these tracks, that the term "Bigfoot" was coined. Stories of a large hairy creature whose description is that which we call bigfoot now, date back long before the white man ever set foot in the western part of North America.

28. A werewolf leaps with fangs that strike What's the thing to kill him right?

From Quiz Three Major Monsters

Answer: A silver bullet

A silver bullet in the head Kills your traddy werewolf, dead A glass of brandy might inflame His appetites. 'Twould be a shame! Another werewolf, what the heck? Fang to fang, reality check! A mirror troubles not a bit! He'd comb his brows in front of it!

29. What is peculiar about the victims of the Chupacabras?

From Quiz The Chupacabras

Answer: They are drained of blood

As well as being drained of blood, the animal's internal organs are sometimes removed.

30. A creature known as a "Chupacabra" has allegedly been preying on wild animals. What sort of creature is a Chupacabra?

From Quiz Monsters And Other Wild Creatures

Answer: Land creature

"Chupas" have apparently been seen in Puerto Rico, parts of the U.S. and in Latin America. They prey upon livestock and other animals. Tales of their attacks are relatively recent.
