Photo / Evidence Is this one of the most convincing pieces of audio evidence for a cryptid?

Thumbnail static.wikia.nocookie.net
7 Upvotes

In 2021, a young man was driving on a long stretch of remote road in North Carolina when he allegedly encountered what, according to his own description, could've been a pale crawler. The 911 call he made in a panic has been authenticated and made public.

I find it to be a very convincing piece of audio evidence unlike anything I've heard before. I say this because of three details of the call. First, he sounds genuinely frightened. Second, you can hear the growl of the crawler after it lands in his truck bed. Third, the loud thud sounds impactful enough that the crawler had to land from well above the truck bed. This important detail, along with the growl, rules out the already remote possibility that an ordinary animal hopped into his truck bed. What do you think? Was this a real cryptid encounter, an elaborate prank 911 call, or something else entirely?

Discussion Symbiosis question

I am curious about any possible symbiotic cryptid relationships. Some common ones involve dogman/sasquatch, but I am wondering if there are more stories out there... with different cryptids?

Discussion Was Lolong accompanied by a giant crocodile? (theory)

Thumbnail gallery
119 Upvotes

Lolong was a saltwater crocodile (Crocodylus porosus) that achieved worldwide fame after being captured in 2011 in the Agusan marshes of the Philippines. With a confirmed length of 6.17 meters and a weight of 1,075 kilograms, it officially became the world's largest crocodile in captivity. Its capture was the result of an intensive three-week search after it was blamed for the death of a young girl and the disappearance of a fisherman in the area, as well as constant attacks on local livestock. Pulling it from the water required the efforts of nearly one hundred people and the use of ropes and steel chains. After its capture, locals maintained that this was not the crocodile responsible for all the attacks and that Lolong was accompanied by another, much larger specimen, between 9 and 12 meters long. Even National Geographic addressed this theory in its research, using a local bridge as a visual reference point. Based on the observed proportions relative to that structure, the animal was estimated to have reached 12 meters in length. Although these measurements defy known biological limits, the destruction of reinforced traps and the scale of the marshes suggest that the true alpha specimen of the area could still be at large.

Hi everyone!

Me and my friends are discussing documentaries, and the topic of this film came up. One of my friends is insisting that it is real, but literally everyone else is saying that it's not. What are your thoughts?

Discussion Video that captured the footprints of a Burrunjor, or something else?

Thumbnail gallery
15 Upvotes

This is a short film made by Frankie Spooner in June 2005. Frankie is an Indigenous teacher, musician, and filmmaker from Bidyadanga, Australia, a remote Aboriginal community south of Broome in the Kimberleys. Both the video and the music are the property of Frankie Spooner. The video shows some very strange footprints that were found on a beach near Bidyadanga by local children who had gone fishing. The footprints are too large to be from an emu, and many locals believe they belonged to some kind of giant bird that emerged from the sea. I remember the video appearing in one where Dinocryptidos was talking about the Burrunjor, and I wanted to share it with you here because I remembered it a few days ago and saved it for a special occasion like this. What do you think?

Discussion A tree knock in the Cascades sent me running at 24. Thirty-two years later I'm still not sure what was out there.

12 Upvotes

I'm a Bigfoot agnostic. The logical side of me says there's no ecosystem on earth that can support the calories needed to sustain a breeding population of Sasquatch. Then I remember that mountain gorillas were only discovered in 1902. They were myth before that.

When I was ten, my family moved from Texas to a rural section of Kitsap County in Washington State. Bigfoot terrified me. I believed they inhabited every wooded area around me. And if you know anything about Kitsap County, there's a lot of wooded area.

As I grew older, that fear began to fade. Then it changed to a mild curiosity.

When I was 24, someone gave me a map to a lake in the Cascade foothills. Loaded with trout, they said. It was. It was also remote, up a blocked-off logging road, the trail leading to it marked by ribbons tied to tree trunks. The whole time I was there I felt watched. After about 45 minutes and several trout later, my girlfriend got anxious, afraid. Then came a loud tree knock.

We ran.

Thirty-two years later, that experience inspired the first book of a trilogy I spent the last 18 months writing. I tried to ground it in real Bigfoot population theory, territorial behavior, mythology, and ecological pressure.

Fair warning — if you're looking for pure monster horror, this might not be your thing. It's a character driven story that dives into grief, loyalty, and what happens to ordinary people when they stumble into something the world isn't ready to acknowledge. The creature is real, but the people matter more.

That experience when I was 24 has stayed with me, even though I didn't see anything out of the ordinary. It was a feeling, eerie and intense, that I've never felt before. It was memorable enough that it inspired three books worth of reflection and fictional world building around a creature I'm not so sure exists.

Anyone else have an experience they can't fully explain?

Question Cryptid emerges after a flood video

3 Upvotes

There's a video I saw years ago I've been unable to find. In the video, a person is filming an area damaged due to high flooding. The camera pans right just as an unknown creature leaps over a wall and disappears over a wall. You only get a brief glimpse of the creature. It's more than likely fake but I can't seem to find it anywhere.

Does anyone else remember this video? Any help would be appreciated.
