I also have concerns about linking cryptids to the “paranormal”. Obviously, we are assuming cryptids are simply unclassified, generally and scientifically unknown, flesh and blood animals.This is mundane and far from the notions of the “paranormal”, which are usually super-naturalistic and/or extra-sensory in content and belief.

On the other hand: (in)famous cryptids such as Bigfoot and Nessie share a common element with “paranormal” entities, such as ghosts, space aliens, fairies, etc. They are often “sighted” and/or “believed in”, but never verified. They become cultural entities without or before verification.

DWA ~ Infrasound? Instant fear generation? Night vision? IR vision? Disappearing trackways? Silent passage thru thickets?

What does it take to justify the “para-normal” appellation?

And of course there’s the old fingernails-on-chalkboard connection of an unlisted primate species to “the paranormal.”

[sigh] guess you take positives anywhere you can get them in this biz.
