Grunge readers expressed skepticism about the existence of a number legendary cryptids. In second place, with 20.35% of the vote, readers said the Jersey Devil was the least-believable urban legend. Another 19.91% weren’t buying the existence of chupacabras (“goat suckers”). Bigfoot, who supposedly hangs out in parts of the US and Canada, and may or may not murder illegal pot farmers, earned 19.48% of the vote. And finally, with 17.01% of the vote, Grunge readers found the legend of the Loch Ness Monster the least of the unbelievable.

But of them all, a clear plurality of Grunge readers decided that the Kraken, the legendary sea monster of Norse mythology, is the least-believable urban legend cryptid — 23.26% of the vote.

Seamen have been dreading the mythic beast for centuries. In a 13th-Century Norwegian text, made available via Project Gutenberg, the narrator warns fellow sailors about the aquatic boogum. “There is a fish that is still unmentioned, which it is scarcely advisable to speak about on account of its size, because it will seem to most people incredible,” the ancient sailor wrote.

According to a 2014 BBC News report, the rare and elusive giant squid, which can grow to 40-50 feet in length, may have inspired the legends of the Kraken.
