Just what is a cryptid? A hidden animal whose existence has not been proven. Think Sasquatch; Lake Serpents/Monsters, and yes, even Merfolk. So then, cryptozoology is the study and search for these animals who are so hidden they are difficult to find and prove their existence. They are often the subject of stories that date back centuries.
The SIM Crew became involved in the search for Cyptids way back in 2011 while in International Falls, Minnesota for two paranormal investigations. During a visit with one of the townspeople, the subject of Bigfoot came up. The gentleman told us that he had seen what he believed was Bigfoot several times, usually in the location near or on his property, a remote area on the borderland. Our witness invited us to his "shack" back in the woods to search for Sasquatch at some point in the future.
Stephanie, a long time believer in the big guy, was intrigued, and though our team up to this time searched primarily for ghosts and spirits, she wouldn't let this go. Our Crypto Gal, she rallied the team together to go Squatchin'.
Our vision expanded to include all areas of the supernatural, and cryptozoology is something we are passionate about.
