This creepy, human-like creature is just like what you would normally see in horror films. The sight of such a creature would leave people terrified, to say the least. The sightings of the Thetis Lake Monster in 1972 left the witnesses absolutely petrified. I think this reaction can be explained by the cognitivism concept in the Grand Theories in Psychology. To loosely define cognition, it is the act of knowing and being aware. This fits because, on sight, the four males just knew this monster was dangerous. The older two men didn’t really make a move, but they didn’t really have to. The exact opposite can be said about the two teenage boys. Just seeing the creature scared them and they ran away from it immediately. They weren’t compelled to stay by curiosity. They instinctively knew to get away and fled without a second thought. Not many have seen the creature, so its elusiveness led us to only wonder about this mysterious creature. In reality, no one knew whether to actually consider it passive or dangerous. These boys didn’t really know but they must of thought it would be dangerous if they actually bolted from the area. The way they might have seen the world is that creepy, intimidatingly unknown creatures are dangerous and shouldn’t be crossed.
