The Kraken
When you're out at sea these days, the worst you're afraid of is the boat sinking titanic-style. But for the pirates of the past, it was the Kraken. The myths talk about a giant squid-like monster who wrapped its tentacles around a ship, breaking it to bits and then taking it to the bottom of the sea with them, and while there isn't any proof of a ship-destroying monster anywhere in history, we have some idea about what the sailors must have seen to inspire such stories. Giant squids have been spotted recently in the ocean- the first sighting of them being as late as 2005 by a group of Japanese scientists.
We really don't know much else about them, except that they're there, and that the biggest ones we've seen so far measure 45 feet long. Who knows how big they can actually get, down in the depths of the ocean?
Hobbits
Now, we know that magical elves and fairies might not be entirely realistic. But what about little humans with funny ears? Evidence suggests that a different subspecies of human beings known as homo floresiensis existed with our very own homo sapiens over 18,000 years ago. And that's not all! They used to live on a remote Island in Indonesia along with pygmy elephants and Komodo dragons. A fully grown adult Homo floresiensis would be no taller than three meters, and the body of a female Homo floresiensis was found in a cave that led to this discovery.
She weighed no more than 55 pounds and was just 3.3 feet tall at the time of her death at 30 years old. They're the most remarkable discovery historians have made in a long time, and while they might not have had any pointy ears, who's to say
