One of the more funny cryptozoology mysteries. Think Mandela Effect or something to that, well, effect. Somewhere, there is supposed to be an authentic photo of a "thunderbird" (a monstrous cryptid raptor) nailed to a barn, surrounded by cowboys. The photo may be taken in Tombstone, and many people have hazy memories that they´ve seen it in some old newspaper or magazine. However, cryptozoologists and other enthusiasts can´t seem to find it?!
Weirdly, I also have a rather strong memory of a thunderbird photo that fits the description. It´s not included in the collection below, but the way I remember it, it was the Argentavis silhouette surrounded by the usual cowboys. Which isn´t a mystery at all, since I read Fortean journals during my sadly misspent youth. At the moment, I can´t seem to find them, but my guess is that it would have been INFO Journal circa 1990. My point being that the picture was probably photo-shopped, not the elusive original.
Bing AI´s version of the Tombstone thunderbird can be seen above, LOL.
