MONSTER IN CINCINNATI

Here's an old incident, which supposedly took place in 1891.  Two  ladies in a buggy observed a strange creature.  It boasted wings, a head with a beak and clawed feet.  W.R. Benedict, writing in the Fortean Times, suggested it was a griffin.


Griffin

Some of you may have heard of a beast called the Hippogriff.  This is not a genuine mythical animal.  It was made up by the Italian poet Ludovico Ariosto in his chivalric epic, Orlando Furioso.
