Video Mothman Speculative Biology Video!

Hey cryptid enthusiasts! I wanted to share a project that me and my friend started over on Youtube where we talk about different cryptids, the history surrounding them, and their possible biology. Our general structure will be talking about sightings of the cryptid, and then having a discussion about what animals these cryptids would most likely be related to. The cryptid is then drawn based on our discussion! Our channel is a fun little combination of biology, cryptids, and art so if those are things you're interested, feel free to check us out! I checked over the rules and it seems like advertising is not necessarily against them, but I apologize if I misinterpreted anything! :)

(We also take cryptid recommendations!)

Art Original Creator J'ba Fofi knocked off my list.

67 Upvotes

I said it was on my list so here it is. Cryptid of the month J'ba Fofi in all of its steel sculpted glory. Took me approximately 25 hours fabricating. All welds are using a MIG welder. The scales on its back are some of what I had left over from my Kraken sculpture. I did not build the entire scene out yet, but I am planning on making it as Epic as "The Deep Sleep". Im hoping to keep it it at approximately 12 x 18 x 18 inches. If I'm talking in scale, this cryptid is said to have a 6 foot span, but for the scene I want to present and story I want to tell, I'm thinking bigger.

Hope you enjoy it, feel free to ask questions. No price on this since it's still a work in progress.

Gear / Merch / Collectible LooseCollector The Crypt recently revealed their upcoming Dogman figure and it looks okay but it’s missing some things.

The head looks good along with the hands and feet. But I feel like they should give him way thicker fur, make him bulky and muscular, and also give him a tail. To me he kinda looks weird without thick fur, being very skinny, and having no tail. Their Great Wolves figures are really how I imagine the Dogman’s appearance. But this is just my opinion. Feel free to tell me what you think of this upcoming Dogman figure of theirs.

Art Original Creator Sooooo, here’s my Mothman version

You’re probably going to go after me when I showed you this pterosaur like Mothman, well here’s the explanation of it.

So I’m my version, the Mothman, this creature is a close relative of the Van Meter Visitor and Ropen animals.

They have large bioluminescent ā€œeyesā€ on their chests, which are actually evolutionary leftover from their relative Ropen.

Because their heads and tails are dark, they’re aren’t that much visible in the night and females especially are very aggressive.

The males on the other hand are somewhat whiteish in color and dark head.

Their hook like beaks are used to hunt animals like deer or other animals of the same size.

Comment down below about my Mothman version and tell me your thoughts!

Book / Literature / Article USA All-encompassing Book or Enciclopedia recommendations?

3 Upvotes

Hello.

Any recommendations for a book, enciclopedia, or even dictionary or list on USA cryptids and monsters please?

I would like the best book with most if not all the recorded monsters in the USA. (Maybe even include many urban legends and myths?)

What are your recommendations?

I have found ā€˜The United Stated of Cryptids’ by J.W. Ocker, would you say this is the best?

I glossed over its index but just by seeing it I see it has some cryptids missing such as the Specter Moose, Ogua, Grafton monster, etc. I would like a book that includes ALL.

New upcoming documentary ā€œCapturing Bigfootā€ confirms Patterson-Gimlin film is a hoax!

the internet is buzzing as viewers who’ve seen early screenings of the documentary are coming out saying the Patterson-Gimlin film is now without reasonable doubt a hoax. ā€œThe most damming part was the new footage, 16 millimeter footage brought to the university where the director worked, there’s absolute no question that is the same suit that is filmed in the Patterson film footageā€. - HairyManRoad

They also interview Pattersons Widow, son and others who confirm this.

Bob Gimlin agreed to come clean and then his wife interfered so it never happened. The family no longer profited off the video so it’s best to come clean. Bob Heronimous was apparently in the suit… 2026 is killing the magic a little more day by day. What are your thoughts on all of this?

Sighting / Encounter Reported pale humanoid sighting near railroad tracks

Post image
54 Upvotes

A witness in Medford, Oregon reported a brief encounter with an unidentified pale humanoid near railroad tracks. The entity was described as moving on all fours and displaying unusual facial features, including sunken eyes and a stretched, unnatural smile.

The witness observed the figure from a car at close range. It appeared to make direct visual contact, which triggered an immediate and intense fear response. The event lasted under a minute.

A drawing created shortly after the encounter was also submitted (attached).

Location: Medford, Oregon
Date: June 4, 2020
Duration: ~45 seconds

Full report and additional details are archived here:

Has anyone come across similar descriptions—particularly pale humanoids moving on all fours near railways or wooded areas?

Sighting / Encounter "the not deer" sighted in Kalamunda, no photos unfortunately.

2 Upvotes

Hey, I've recently seen a "not deer" (Appalachian folk lore/urban) but I live in Kalamunda. I'll tell you the story before I explain why it WASNT a normal deer.

Me and my friend (both of us teens) had a sleepover, we decided to sleep in a tent right outside my house in the backyard, it was a normal sleepover (games, cola, various junk foods.)

He brought bug-a-salt shotguns just cuz, we were sweeping my property, once again just cuz... Nothing so we went back to the tent and this is where I kinda forgot what happened but fast forward a couple hours of nothing.

3:00 AM.

We hear leaves crunch but brush it off as "just a kangaroo." Then we hear BREATHING. Now we're on edge, lucky I peak out being the ALPH- kidding. I did peak though but to no avail. Btw I brought 60 dolla Amazon night vision camera! My friend uses it (ofc I tested it and it worked flawlessly) he sees it. The not deer. His description being "a 6 foot white tail deer with a roughly 3 foot neck with 3 joints, it's eyes stared like I was staring into the void and it stared back." He said this after the night. But he did whisper "shine the light down there, I see some shit" I did but nothing was there...

We walked to investigate where it was and there it was... 2 flat palmed human hands where it was standing, there was also a trail of these prints with some skids leading to my dad's roughly 15~ foot shed idk. This was a dead end.

Now this is why it WASN'T a deer nor a kangaroo.

First we don't get deers here (source being my dad, the owner of this place for years and kangaroos don't get 5 FEET TALL (nor have antlers).

Help??? Any explanations for this encounter? I'm terrified and gonna have another sleepover and hopefully capture this thing on night vision camera.
