8. I would love to believe in the existence of cryptids like Bigfoot.

And the Loch Ness Monster.

But the only evidence for the existence of either is either dubious in origin, at best, or outright hoaxes.

I still feel a sense of child-like wonder at the thought that there is a plesiosaur-like creature living in the peaty depths of the loch. But the scientist in me shrugs sadly at the lack of any credible evidence. I know that animals like the okapi and the gorilla were discovered long after some zoologist declared that every large animal that could be discovered, had been discovered. But that was over a century ago. Our powers of investigation and discovery have increased by a huge margin since.
