This is kind of a iffy answer. I believe that people did think that there were creatures or "superhumans" out there. But I highly doubt there is. The closest thing I believe to these kind of creatures are Bigfoot, locnus monster, and aliens. I believe there is something out there. We can't be alone. But a movie that is close to this is war of the worlds. It shows that aliens come to earth and attack and try to kill out the human race. Of course there is many people that believe in these kinds of myths , or people would have made this. And it also could be the great inventor "the mind".

That's a very good response, but a little known fact War of Worlds was on the radio first and some people thought it was real and killed themselves to avoid it. People will believe anything now a days, basically if I don't see it then it is not real. To say we are the only ones here would be selfish, but that is one of the biggest questions that are still unanswered. People seek belief in myths much like Santa and the Eastern Bunny we all believe in something till we reach the point of faith or fact.

I will have to agree with Tyler. I kind of doubt the existence of creatures. But that doesn't mean that they don't or never did. It's all up to what people believe themselves.

I agree with Tyler hagan because all of these people saying they found big foot I can't believe it intill I see someone that killed him. That's what they need to do if they ever find him. Is that they need to make a trap and catch big foot then go to the trap and kill him

I believe they believed in "Super Humans" and "Creatures" because of the religious influence back then. I mean the pressure from the church and everything would make them believe in stuff like that. It talks about in the Bible Jesus performing miracles and that could be related to Beowulf doing super human things. Plus in the Bible it talks about how Lucifer rose from the waters with horns so that would kinda inspire them to write about saying that its in their time how those things work and are real. In today's society to relate to that would be the show Supernatural on the CW. That shows take modern legends and stories from the Bible and relativistic from the Bible and turns them into real life for our today's life. An example would be how people make deals with demons and die unexpectedly later in life. See in the show you have to make a deal with a demon at the cross roads and whatever your wish is they grant it then you seal the deal with a kiss and they come back later in life and take your soul. See there relating to today's time for wishes and such. While back then and in Biblical times people can make deals with demons.

Do I believe that there were superhumans or creatures along time ago? I don't think I have a written in stone answer on this one. Part of me believes in this kind of stuff and thinks that they existed. The other part of me doubts that creatures and superhumans exist or ever existed. You here every we're these days about big foot sightings, and people seeing UFO's or people getting abducted.

No I don't think that those types of creatures have ever existed. I think that people get bored and get to thinking and then come up with stories and creatures with their imagination. Yes, I think people today have superstitions. For example, if you go through three yellow lights in a day you get good luck? Or if you break a mirror you get bad luck.

I think that some things really do exist like ghosts and aliens. But I also believe that people like to make things up like Bigfoot, the abdominal snowman, Beowulf and Grendel, Slenderman, and the that pesky little monster that suddenly decides it wasn't to pop up out from under your bed, convienetly when you do something wrong in front of your parents. I think that people might come up with these things because maybe their imagination was just going crazy that day and they decided to make up a cool monster story. I think it's fun to use your mind and create something that no one has ever heard of, and soon after you tell the story to one person, if it's good enough, that person will tell it to their friends, and their friends will tell other people. And soon it might become a legend. Some people do believe in superstitions, too. Like if you break a mirror, you'll have 7 years of bad luck. Or like if you step on a crack, you break your moms back. I believe that maybe some of these monsters and superstitions are real, because life without imagination is just life, but life with imagination is magical. Everyone has to have a little magic. :)

I agree very much with you KD!! Life without imagination isn't very fun at all.

I believe in superstitions like the mirror and I believe that if you split a pole you will get bad luck too.

i believe that there were mythical creatures if theres not any now. i mean people may not find proof or if they do people wont believe them but i think its just people in denial of learning things about the unknown. for me im going to use the Beast of Gévaudan. this is a werewolf that has been killing people and has been said to been caught and put on display in france. it was said to have injured 210 people and killed 113...people still talk about it today, attacking people.

I do not think that creatures or superhumans have ever existed. I think that people created them with their imaginations. I do think that people have superstitions.

I agree with Caleb, too. Some people like to just think that the world is here because of science, and that everything has a scientifical explanation, while others like to believe that everything was because of a magical God. But what I'm wondering is, why can't people believe in both? Why couldn't the two just come together and work? For example, the earth. Some believe that some random things just got all mixed up and created Earth. Then other people believe that god made it. I personally think that God was the one who mixed those random things together and made Earth. Anyone that reads this probably won't understand my thinking process, but it makes sense in my head.

I think people exaggerated about people and creatures being superhuman back then. I think they thought that because the people back then were so strong and smart in battle. It's not that they were superhuman, it was just where they knew what to do and killed so many people. It is still interesting to read and hear about people being superhuman back then even if it's not true.

I don't think "superhumans" or "creatures" have ever existed. I just think that all of them were just make up things, to tell little kids to scare them and help them with what decisions they make. It was just practically a make believe, so children could have something to believe in. I won'e believe in it all, until they can prove that there is a bigfoot or a UFO.

I dont believe in 'supernateral' things. Although, I do find entertainment in them. I believe the reason people use to write story's and play's that were supernatural, were to entertain people. Seem's like lately, when you turn the T.V on all the T.V show's and Movies have to do with supernatural, superhuman, or creatures. And it's because it entertains people, and it's intresting. Myself, I like that kind of stuff, I dont believe in it, it is just entertainment for me. For example, The Twilight serios. I love all the books and movies. And yea, Of course some people do believe in this. I dont know why but they do. I dont know if anyone know;s, but the year Twilight came out, a couple Teenagers in Colorado were HUGE Twilight fan's, and took it to the next level, by acting like they were vampires and biting people on the neck. Sad, but true.

Superhumans and creatures such as Beowulf didn't actually exist, per se. Human beings have wild imaginations, which can, and often do, branch into fears. People are fearful of 'scary monsters' and such. So we create in our minds these beings that live extraordinary lives with super powers and super strength. We like to think that these superheroes will protect us from our biggest fears. That's most likely the reason they did this back when Beowulf was written. This is most likely the reason we have fictional characters such as Superman and Spiderman today.

I do really believe that (creatures) or (superhumans) every truly existed. I believe the reason why they created "creatures" is to scare people, like little kids. Adults using the "creatures" to teach thier kids a lessons, of why not to do something or the "creatures" would get them, and created the "superhumans" to allow the kids to be a ease at night. People do allow superstitious to find a way into todays mordern society. An example of it will be the Blair Witch. They have made "documentaries" saying that the Blair Witches are real, they be or they my just be a story to get publicity.

You made a really good point. I agree completely that some of these characters could have been based off of real people. Beowulf could have been someone that was honored and respected.

I agree with Kelsee. Super heroes can be anyone. Just because someone doesn't have super strength or can fly, doesn't mean they can't be a hero. Caring people help others all the time without wanting or looking for anything in return for their kindness. To me, they are like the heroes in stories and movies, because they help people out without anything in return. Sometimes, even if they are offered to take a reward, they do not accept it.

God is the only 100% immortal being to ever exist. There are people who are born with or can have super strength, enhanced senses, psychic powers, and martial arts powers. They made up stories because they needed something or someone to believe in. Superstition can include believing in gods, ghost,charms, witches, in magic and other weird things to something as simple as not crossing path with a black cat. We still believe in superstitions because if you drop and break that make-up mirror - I bet you will start yelling SEVEN YEARS BAD LUCK!!! OH NO!

No, creatures and superhuman men did not ever exist. If they did they would still be here today. But I think that people came up with these tale of terrifying creatures and superhuman heroes who defeat them to teach lessons. When you tell a story, and the story is good, then people will listen to it. And just by listening to a story, you will learn the lesson that is taught in that story. People won't pay attention to someone who tells a story and it isn't interesting, so they made it interesting by coming up with these things to make sure people listened. I believe that people today do use things like this to tell stories in the modern day. Which if you think Bout it, some people believe in these things. And beliefs influence our everyday lives. So tellings stories with these things in it will make people think differently about the world, like it does today. I personally don't believe in any of this stuff, but I do think that the stories send out a good message.

For example would be the bible because god would be the super human and the devil as the evil thingy. I think people can see and experience things and were as I said thats all they have and they and their children can so on can stretch that out to. Make it better, and bigger. And I think if you see something crazy and bad or good theses days then yes I think people would start to believe in such things and a movie would be the priest bacause the vampires would be the "Grendel" and the priest or fighters would be the super human. They fight and the superhuman wins.

Yes I agree with Yadira. I definitely think that superhumans or super heros existed because u never reaally know for sure. I believe that they still do exist but maybe it's not their time yet to actually come out. Also I bet the government would hide something like that.

I don't think creatures, or superhuman men ever existed nor will they ever. People with superhuman abilities haven't been seen yet. I mean yeah, some people have really amazing abilities, but I wouldn't call them superhuman. I think the reason people from early eras created such characters to make life more interesting. And I don't think there's anything wrong with that. It made things exciting & fun.

I think that creatures( Grendel) and superhuman men ( Beowulf) did not exist. I think that people back then created these characters to make themselves feel better and have people like Beowulf to save them if something bad happened.Yes, people of today do subscribe to superstitous beliefs. Like for example, the groom always has to carry the bride over the threshold and she must not trip or fall. This is used a lot in movies.(The Love Saga: Love Comes Softly).

I agree with Jamie Hall. We think that the superhumans will save us from our fears and that they lived great lives, so we would too. But these people were not real, because someone made them up, so we would feel better. Like Jamie said, people have wild imaginations.

In my opinion I dont think they have ever existed . People just said they did to carry on legends and wise tales. Yes people today still carry on superstitions. For example I think the ghost hunters show is all fake a it's just on tv to make the "haunted" places become a bigger attraction.

I believe people will believe in what they want to, and what feels right to them. They have the right to do so. And stories get spread out by whatthey believe in. I guess ou could say men with super strength or "powers" can be over rated and blown it of preportion. I think evil people and monsters are just describing somebody.

Do I believe that superhumans and creatures exist back then? While I think that there are people out there that have amazing abilities, I don't believe anyone is superhuman. Yes people can do things that seem impossible, but if one person can do it, I'm almost certain there's another person that can do it too. As far as the creatures go, I do believe there are other things out there that have not been discovered yet. Like there could be a certain type of animal that hasn't been scientifically discovered yet, but if people have seen it with their own eyes, how are we to say that they're wrong, we weren't there, we didn't see what they did. So I think they people could have seen glimpses of what they thought were creatures. Or like Hagan said, it could just be the great inventor, the mind.

I agree with joe Thomas. There could have been, and still be superhumans in this world. That show superhumans goes out and finds people that have amazing abilities. But I don't know if I'd call them superhumans. But he has a very good point.

I believe that some sort of superhumans existed. Maybe not dragons and demons like Grendel. I mean people who are abnormally gifted in their abilities. Although due to human nature a lot of what we think of as true superhumans is most likely a bit exaggerated.

I agree and disagree with Zach Grant. Like I said many of the stories of superhumans could have been true. I don't think many of them are tho because so many are exaggerated to the point of becoming a fairy tale. If there were superhumans then they were probably not exactly how they are described in the stories.

No. I think there is evil and bad people and there is also good, caring people. There are both types of these people in the world. The good people always want to stop the bad people. That is where people got the superheroes and villians. And today it continues, and has made its way into movies and stories. But I do not think either has "special" powers.

These creatures never truley existed. The reason why people made up these storys was for entertainment and excitement who doesn't love a scary ghost story every now and then? I think they used such scary creatures in the story's for the thrill, life would be boring without a scare every now and then! There are many ways people make up these creatures now days! In movies like princess i think that's what it's called? Um in it the modern day princess hides away in her castle all her life because all of the mythical creatures comes to her for help when they r sick or injured so she hides them in her castle so she can help them!

I agree with Caitlin! They do teach lessons in all sorts of ways! Like don't go for a walk in the woods at night or u will get lost or if u trust strangers they may kidnap you and kill u! And usually they r very interesting with good versus evil and how evil loses shows people hey if u just be good u will never lose! Or how every one looks up to superman how he's the perfect roll modle nice to others calm in scary situations and always helping in every way he can!

I do believe that "superhumans" or creatures existed. I think they still do today because you can never know for sure. Yes people are superstitious well some people and stories that people believed from a long time ago does make into modern movies and shows. Like the show being human they have vampires , werewolves , and ghosts in that and people have believed in them for years. Now as for vampires and werewolves yes I think they could exist because we don't know everything. I really believe in ghosts , and I think people can see them and communicate with them and that is kinda being a superhuman.

Do i believe creatures or superhumans exist? No i dont believe this cause i think people have extrodinary talents but i dont believe people are superhuman. I think that people made stuff up like that in early years just to get attention. Or maybe just to see if people actually believe them.

I agree with Scott Lamb cause i think he had a good argument. I also like his cause he goes into detail why he doesnt believe in superhumans. I also like how he stated that there is people out there that have abilities to do something impossible but if one person can do it then someone else can to.
