A monster appears?

By HoundoCullan, in Arkham Horror Second Edition

I have a question about Mythos cards that read "two monsters appear in the streets", or some other variant of this. Do these monsters stay in play or not. I see in the rule book that if a monster appears due to a card and no one is there to encounter it, it is resolved and returns back to the cup. I cant help but feel I am missing something or misunderstanding this rule. Can any one clear this up for me? Thanks.

If a monster appears from an encounter card (without a gate) it does not remain on the board. If the monster appears from a mythos card, it remains on the board. Got it?
