The study of folkloric creatures is considered by academics as pseudoscience because of the odd research and sources used in the study of this field. But, should it? Presented by Michael Panicello from CT’s Mutual UFO Network (MUFON). Michael Panicello has been the State Director of Connecticut MUFON since 2013. During this lecture we will examine the evidence for possible existence of these creatures in nature either at the present time or in the past.
