I came across the "Yeti" topic for some reason today and noticed there were no types associated with it, nor any existing types that would be appropriate containers for the fun properties that make this kind of topic so interesting. So... I created a <a href="http://mystery.freebase.com/">Mystery base</a> as a "...a shared, online source of unknown facts and missing information..." :) <br>
<br>So far I've started describing <a href="http://mystery.freebase.com/view/base/mystery/views/cryptids">cryptids</a> (i.e., monster observations) and I'm thinking of keeping the base in the realm of real-world mysteries, but I could also see a lot of the "<a href="http://www.freebase.com/view/en/mystery_fiction">Mystery fiction</a>" topics finding their way into this base because there's a lot of overlap. Think of it as the Freebase version of "<a href="http://www.freebase.com/view/guid/9202a8c04000641f8000000000283cd1">In Search of...</a>". I'm open to suggestions and sharing administrative privileges with people having a strong interest in this base. I created it on a whim so I probably won't spend too much time on it, but who knows. I'm happy to help revise or add schema for sure. Searching for "cryptid" is a good way to start finding topics. It's amazing how many of these are already in Freebase waiting to be described. <br>
<br>Have fun,<br>-Ed <br>
