DRAGONS WORLD WIDE

It has been said that there is probably no more fascinating creature in the minds of Men than the dragon. Men have been describing it since the beginning of civilization. The dragons, a creature resembling to a reptile with wings and a long neck, was often depicted in stories and picture in Medieval times and much earlier. Throughout the second world war, there was a little mention of sea-serpents - it seem everyone was to busy fighting to notice them. We have to wait the late 90' to see sighting, we must admit that the great development in science and technology discourage many to move forward to tell their story. Dragons have been spotted in the Rocky Mountains of Alberta and British Columbia, even if the witness was uncertain about the true size of the creature, she report to have seen a giant creature about fifteen feet tall at the shoulder. After telling to one of her best friend, she merely consider this as a joke.

The creature was in a beautiful shade of dark green and could easily blended with trees as he been standing by them but the witness report that he was perched on a rocky outcropping on the side of the mountain. ...He was fanning his wings slightly, looking quite calmly into the valley below. I had been hiking up this mountain, when the movement of his head caught my eye. I had been this way before, and there was a group of trees on the cliff where there had been none before. I did not believe what I had seen at first, but the shape was too obvious, and he was parallel to me, about seven bus lengths away. I was climbing up one rock outface, he was on another.

He was the most beautiful creature I had ever seen. His head was long, with a large eye ridge and two smaller bumps with a triceratops-like horn on his nose. At the back of his head were two large horns, jutting out backwards, and two smaller horns below them. They were a greyish-white and caught the light like dull silver. His forelegs were slightly smaller than his hind legs and were gripping the edge of the cliff. He looked as though he were a quadruped. He had slightly darker dorsal ridges running from between the longest horns to about halfway down his tail.

As I stood there, gaping like a fish out of water, the dragon turned and looked at me. He cocked his head to the side, almost like a bird, then spread his enormous wings and vaulted off the cliff. He was absolutely elegant in the air, flapping his wings several times before banking into a glide and disappearing around the side of the mountain. My legs felt so weak that I had to sit down. I have been camping in those mountains for over ten years, and I have never seen anything to suggest that dragons might actually exist there. But after that encounter I began to think about it. What better place for a dragon to live than in the mountains? There are places in Banff and Jasper that nobody has ever been to, and there are many elk and deer and possibly even bears for it to feed on. Plenty of lakes, and the mountains themselves have many hidden caves and the like.

A dragon perching at the very top of the mountain, especially if they camouflage, could never be seen. I can't imagine my luck at actually seeing one so close up and so low down in the alpine country. The place where I saw him lies somewhere in the back country of Banff, beyond The Point, a fairly well-known hike-in campground.

Another sight was reported to be seen the February 17, 1998 at Niagara falls Canada. She was visiting Niagara Falls to try and relax after a trying week at graduate school. ...It was about 8:00 PM and I was with my Fiancee who is the only other person who saw it. I have no tangible proof- only and overwhelming feeling of being protected. The next week school went much better and my attitude was much better. The mist rising from the Horseshoe falls was in the shape of a dragon. It was a rather large, winged blue-grey dragon formed by the mist of the falls. A truly rare and beautiful sight. It seems without doubt that the vast space free from civilization is prefer to dragons since most recent sighting have been reported these kind of condition like in Canada.
