What makes a mystery?

Mysteries are events or creatures people cannot explain. The same story may change as people tell it again, and that makes it harder to know the truth.

Why legends stay alive

Legends grow when people add new details. A creature becomes more famous if many people say they saw it. That is why Bigfoot, Mothman, Chupacabra, and Wendigo are still talked about today.
