Welcome to my blog!

Hi, my name is Simon Cary Enoch, welcome to my blog. Here I will post about mythology, myths, folklore, legends, cryptozoology, film, and much more! I am a published author of several books including Legends & Lore of Sea Monsters, Legends & Lore of Werewolves, and Legends & Lore of Lilith, with much more on the way!



Explore the legends and lore of sea monsters. Learn about the giant squid the kraken. His bitter enemy the sperm whale. This history of sea serpents and real live witness accounts from fishermen who actually saw the creatures. We will delve into the theory that sea serpents were dinosaurs still living in the human age. The ancient plesiosaurus. We'll also examine the curious case of the coelacanth fish.

Have you ever watched An American Werewolf in London or The Howling and wondered about where the idea of werewolves came from? Legends & Lore of Werewolves explores the origins and history behind the idea of lycanthropy, or werewolves. Learn how they got their name, how one became a werewolf (hint: not by being bitten like in The Wolf Man), true accounts of werewolf encounters, the French werewolf trials, other shape-shifters (were-tigers and were-foxes), and more!

You're familiar with the story of the creation of Adam and Eve in the Bible, but did you know that according to ancient Jewish legends and lore that Adam had a first wife named Lilith? This book explores the mythology of Lilith, including her divorce from Adam and marriage to Samael, the Prince of Darkness.

Godzilla: Singular Point Anime Review

Godzilla: Singular Point Anime Review by Simon Cary Enoch Hanna-Barbera (1978 - 1980) By http://animesgoldsilver2.blogspot.com/2013/07/desenhos-animados-desenhos-animados.html, Fair use, https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?curid=4186579 Godzilla is no stranger to animation. The big G was first animated in the late seventies by Hanna-Barbera in association with Henry G. Saperstein. It's considered corny now, mainly because of Godzooki and Godzilla's Scooby-Doo monster-style roars, but this is an important part of Godzilla history that I have a lot of nostalgia for. The first Godzilla tapes I had were Godzilla vs. Megalon  and the first episode of this series. I didn't care as much for Megalon back then so this   was  Godzilla for me as a child. Furthermore, it was rare that they showed Godzilla movies on television and when they did it was usually on TNT which showed the same five over and over again and only once in a great while such as a New Year's Day marathon. The ...

Scientific Evidence Makes Existence of Loch Ness Monster More Unlikely

In the sixth chapter of my book  Legends & Lore of Sea Monsters I wrote of the similarity of sea serpents and prehistoric marine animals such as the plesiosaurus, "that curious compound reptile, which has been compared with "a snake threaded through the body of a turtle," is described by Dean Buckland, in his Bridgewater Treatise, as having "the head of a lizard, the teeth of a crocodile, a neck of enormous length resembling the body of a serpent, the ribs of a chameleon, and the paddles of a whale." In the number of its cervical vertebrae (about thirty-three) it surpasses that of the longest-necked bird, the swan."[1] I even talked about the theory that perhaps sea serpents were living-fossils such as plesiosaurs, "sea-serpents certainly do bare a strong likeness to the plesiosaur, as many others have noticed, including Frederic A. Lucas, "the sea-serpent flourishes perennially in the newspapers and, despite the fact that he is now mainly r...
