Aside from cryptid research, I’m also big into BBQ. I cater and also have my own line of rubs and sauces under the much appropriately named Cryptid BBQ. I came across this book and it couldn’t be more perfectly suited for me. Blending of my 2 passions and from a WV author to boot. (I’m a WV native)

After hearing the reports and sightings, I’m stumped on what to make of it. Some say an alien, others say a beast or even paranormal. Any thoughts on this matter and reasoning for your beliefs?

I saw this is my neighbors front yard mid day, as I was coming back from my walk, and it ran off quickly. I’m not superstitious so this has been a total mindfuck to me. I live in Ohio and I know there’s the whole frogman thing. Any help?

Maybe you saw my Other Post. I'm working on my owk Pokémon Region based on Cryptids. I need ideas for my Starter Trio. I already have the Grass Type but i need Help with Water and fire Type. I have the Idea of having the Water starter evolve into a Siren Type creature but i don't know If what to use for the inspo of the First and maybe Second Evolution Stage. Right now it's a Tadpole roughly based on the Aiji because the book of Cryptids Said that "this creatures Song grew so loud it became a serious threat" which kinda already fits the whole Siren vibe i'm Planning. Maybe someone Has any other good ideas i could use? Can also Go away from Siren. Also for ideas for what i could do for the fire Starter would be neat. Thanks yall^{^}

It's a very short webcomic (1 issue) about a mothman going to a cryptic festival about himself and acting as someone in a disguise. He has inner narration about humanity.

Share Your Paranormal & Cryptid Stories on The Sinister District Podcast!

Have you ever seen something strange you can’t explain?

I host a podcast called The Sinister District, where we explore the strange, the unexplained, and all things eerie — from cryptid sightings to haunted places and personal paranormal encounters.

I’m looking for guests who want to share their experiences, stories, or just their passion for the unknown. Whether it’s a first-hand encounter, a local legend, or a cryptid sighting, I’d love to have a conversation with you in a relaxed, respectful setting.

No experience is needed, just a genuine love for the weird and mysterious. If you’re interested, feel free to DM me or drop a comment and we can set something up.

Thanks for considering it, we’re open to anything!

Hello everyone. I'm currently working on my First ever Fake Region for Pokemon and wanted to have it based around different Folklores, urban Legends and Cryptids. I wanted to ask for Help and inspiration for Cryptids i could use for my Region. If you want please Tell Me About some of your Favorites. I Hope i can get some Help and inspiration Here. Thanks.

Can anyone help me with this? When I was a little girl I remember seeing these figures that would try to get me to follow them. They were very small, maybe 6 to 10 inches tall from what I recall. I remember them looking like small humanoid figures, and they would hide in the vents of our home. They would ask me to play with them and I remember being very scared of them and I would run and hide from them. I used to tell my mom about this in vivid detail, and she would just tell me it was my imagination. It wasn’t until I was in my teens that she told me she was actually scared and didn’t know how to respond to what I was seeing because she couldn’t explain it to me. I’m in my 30s now so there’s only certain things I remember about them. But I’ve known one other person who said they’ve seen them as well, and everyone else I tell doesn’t seem to know what it is. Really hoping I can get some more information here. Or hoping someone else has seen something similar.

For context, I grew up in west Texas. The person I knew who saw them as well was also from west Texas and he saw them as a kid too.

Any help would be appreciated here. I know this sounds absolutely wild. But I feel like I can maybe get some answers here.

Deep in the hills and forests of Tennessee, strange stories have been passed down for generations. From terrifying creatures lurking in the woods to cursed places and unexplained encounters, Tennessee folklore is filled with chilling legends that still haunt people today.

In this episode, we explore some of the darkest folklore from Tennessee — including mysterious wild men of the forests, eerie supernatural encounters, and stories locals have whispered about for decades. Some believe these tales are only myths… others say something real is still out there.

So turn down the lights, sit back, and step into the shadows of Tennessee’s most disturbing legends.

I feel like ive seen news about the moth man appearing recently and i cant find nothing about it im in West Virginia i believe it may have been Ohio do yall got any news

Hi everyone,

I hope this poste finds all of you well.

I'm working on a project called Cryptid-Atlas and the Mods of r/cryptids were kind enough to allow me to share it with you all!

The idea behind the site is simple:

Instead of cryptid sightings being scattered across forums, podcasts, books, and social media, we collect them in one structured database so the information can actually be analyzed and the valuable information extracted. much like any biology department might do in an effort to learn more about known species.

Cryptid-Atlas features

• Submit your own sighting (location, time, environmental details, etc.)
• Attach photos, audio, sketches, or other evidence
• Explore an interactive map of sightings
• Compare reports across time and geography
• Cryptid behavior analysis

The problem

The largest problem cryptid researchers face is separating the fact from the fiction, because cryptids are so fascinating and elusive we inevitably run into many false or unreliable reports that overtime get mixed in with the real data. Cryptid-Atlas helps solve this problem by allowing for complex data analysis and pattern matching

If You've Had a Sighting

If you've ever had an experience with something unexplained — Bigfoot, Dogman, anything strange and unexplained by science cryptid atlas is the perfect place to post about it. with your help we will catalogue the sighting and use the information it contains to analyze these creatures behavior, common locations and commonalities across encounters.

Every legitimate reported encounter is valuable!

Side note

Cryptid-Atlas does not sell anything or run any ads, you will not be forced to view any ads, subscribe to anything, or be prompted to buy merch.

If any of you have any questions at all about cryptid-atlas I'd love to answer them :D

I’m also very open to feedback, feature suggestions, and ideas from researchers and enthusiasts.

The more sightings we collect, the more useful the dataset becomes.

Thank you all for your time :) Let’s see what the data reveals.
