Creepy Mythical Creatures From All Over The World That Will Make Your Skin Crawl

Mythical creatures. We've all heard a story or two about that guy (whose name nobody can remember) that once went to a creepy place, alone, at night, and saw something that sounds horrifyingly made-up, but totally wasn't. 

Yet somehow these stories of crazy creatures go from being stupid stories to 100% believed truths. I'm not sure how but almost everyone around the world has heard of creatures like the Yeti, the Lockness Monster, and the Chupacabra and many, many more creatures that are scary enough to scare the pants off even the strictest non-believer. 

Check out the list below put together by CostumeCraze and learn more about some of the worlds creepiest mythical creatures. Who knows you might find one you've heard of before or one that, like many other people on the planet, makes you want to hunt it for proof!
