Chase Maus Fear Liath Moor

https://cryptidz.fandom.com/wiki/Fear_Liath_Moor

Obviously there is an appeal to ignorance in this article. There are multiple times when people would feel a chill or negative energy and would assume it's a fear liath moor.

There is also wishful thinking in this as well. People are always looking for a new story or something else to scare others, and this is a perfect example of this situation.

Unrepresentative sample- They took a couple eye witness stories, from a small area and used that to conclude that this creature is real.

Hasty generalization is also in this and can be tied to unrepresentative sample.
