Initially our hope for AMERICANMONSTERS.COM was to create an all encompassing reservoir of information regarding every “unknown animal” which we could research within the confines of the continental United States, but it soon became apparent that to do justice to any of these bizarre creatures, we would be forced to expand our scope to include a much broader range of global cryptids. This has proven to be both a fascinating and exhaustive task, and one which will be perpetually ongoing. We implore you to bear with us… if it’s out there, we will chronicle it!

Of course, not everyone will agree with our choices regarding the cataloguing of these creatures. In fact, we are the first to admit, that many of the animals chronicled could easily fit into more than one catagory, but for the sake of brevity, we used are own discretion and placed each monster where it seemed to fit best.

In order to ease site navigation – as well as to help enhance the public’s understanding of this theater-wide phenomenon – we have included an easy access cross referencing system, which will bring to the forefront many of the obvious (and assumed) correlations between the creatures that you will encounter herein. This interlocking web of information is designed to grant you, the browser, the ability to research any number of these amazing animals with an appreciation for the more expansive spectrum in which they apparently fit.

Our message board is designed to serve as an on-line gathering place for anyone interested in discussing these unusual life-forms. We hope that this forum will encourage both discourse and open debate, and serve as a sort of “watering hole” for independent researchers. In the not too distant future we are planning to host a series of open discussions with some of the more preeminent cryptozoologists of our time.

The AMERICAN MONSTERS crew will do its best to keep you updated, not only on site progress, but on upcoming DOCUMENTARIES, as well as other cryptozoological events. Thanks for your support!
