 Legitimacy of Sam McConnish 
It should be noted that a person seeing more than one cryptid during their lifetime is an extreme rarity, and seeing two at once can therefore easily be regarded with suspicion. This leaves the likelihood of this specimen being real as being very low, or at least that the original claim of the creature being a hoax was significantly high.
