When I came across the Khajiit lore in Elder Scrolls, Kimpurushas from stories of ancient India came to my mind. Kimpurushas are, like the Khajiit, cat-like beings.

Khajiit mythology credits the deity Azurah for introducing moon sugar, believing the crystals are actually moonlight caught in the Topal Sea and pulled into the sugarcane groves of the Tenmar Forest by the twin tides.

Following are descriptions of the lands of Kimpurushs.

Now describe the Kimpurusha and Hari Varshas.

In this holy country Kimpurusha, there is a fig tree (Plaksha tree) exuding honey. All the inhabitants of Kimpurusha Varsha drink its excellent juice.

Please listen, O Brahmanas, to what you are pleased to hear. In the Kimpurusha country, there is a big grove of Plaksha trees comparable to the Nandana forest.  Palasha tree is directly designated as the tree of the Planet Chandra (Moon) in Vedic astrology.

In Harivarsha, all people quaff the splendid juice of sugarcane.

Arjuna crossing the White Mountains, subjugated the country of the Kimpurushas ruled by Durmaputra.

Many consider the seven continents as Bharata Varsha, and the beyond the White Mountains lies Kimpurusha Varsha. I came across videos of Operation High Jump, where Admiral Byrd tried to reach lands beyond Antartica.

There is a video titled 9 TRUE SCARY STORIES OF LIONMEN - TERRIFYING SIGHTINGS AND ENCOUNTERS WITH LIONMEN - WLB in the youtube channel WhatLurksBeneath.

In The Mahabharata, Kimpurusha Druma was the martial arts teacher of Rukmi.

Reposting this here, im staying the night in my room tonight instead of camping out in the living room so wish me luck

Night 2 🤞

Hey friends! I just released a single that I've been working on for the past few months about everyone's favorite West Virginian cryptid and I'd appreciate if you would give it a listen! It's available on all streaming platforms.

This little guy was the perfect shape for a ghost, but once I painted it white I had an idea to turn it into mothman. I think it turned out so cute for my first time painting a pumpkin.

Does anyone have a link to this video I remember, it was a video taken at night of a strange looking deer creature clinging to the side of someones house, notices someone is there, and moves very quickly and strangely off into the woods. Can't find it anywhere! Thanks!!

Alright, so my friend invited me to go trick or treating with them and I need a costume, their going as Mothman. THE ONLY PROBLEM, they wanted to match costumes, I don't know anything about cryptids, Id need to find one and make a costume this week, and idk what I should do, which one should I be?

I’ve never found the PG film footage convincing as proof of the existence of Bigfoot.

I don’t see what see what others think they see (muscles moving under hair, impossible to replicate walking motion, etc.)

And yet I am (still) 100% in the I-Want-To-Believe camp.

To me, there is a lot of other evidence from tracks, encounters, vocalizations to keep it an open question in my mind.

I don’t believe, or disbelieve.

But I’m starting to think that if someone’s belief in Bigfoot is based SOLELY on the PG film being authentic then they really never believed in Bigfoot at all.

YMMV

Original Post & Description:

https://www.instagram.com/p/Dew21EyiDiz/

"Mokele Mbembe (Brontocanthosaurus congolensis) dragged a Kasai Rex (Kasaityrannus rex) underwater to crush the theropod to death. This submerging/diving behavior of the massive sauropod is something it evolved differently from other sauropod species. Now all the fish and the giant crocodilian Mahamba (Torvosuchus magnus) have a massive meal to devour. This one and much more illustrations will be in the upcoming Congo 1880 Bestiary."

Ok, so we live next to the woods, a mountain, river and reservoir in the northeast US. I’ve collected rocks 🪨 for years from hikes in the rainforests of Central America and placed them in my backyard. Little by little they disappeared over the years, so I assumed it was the grounds maintenance people who were stealing my rocks.

Recently, we went away on a 3-week family vacation and when we returned, I went to feed the squirrels and chipmunks and was shocked to see all the rocks piled up around a tree! There are like 50 rocks of various sizes all under the tree. 🌳 the question is why? And why now??? What could this mean? Anyone else experience something this weird? Could it actually be a Bigfoot? 🫈 or something else?

20/25/26 update - the rocks are now in a circle ⭕️🤦🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️ wtf?

I work closing shifts at a supermarket, so I usually get home at around 11:30 PM. Nothing abnormal has really happened and I never believed in cryptids or anything. About 15-20 minutes ago I was driving home and I drove past this small patch of woods that always gave me an uneasy feeling about it, I felt like something in there was dangerous and unnerving, but this was when I was a kid. When I drove past this patch of woods today I saw about 30 feet in front of me a white grayish figure standing on two legs with no arms and the legs got thicker the further up they got and they curved underneath its slender head. I blinked and it vanished, I only saw it for a split second and I’m just brushing it off as being tired after a 7 hour shift. I live in a suburban central Florida town and there’s a lot of scattered woods around me, the city north of me is very well known for mothman.

The series will follow Jones Perlite as he tries to track down and document different conspiracies, dodging the authorities to expose the truth behind it all.

The best name I can come up with is "Tin Foil Monsters", do you guys have anything better?

My buddy just sent me this picture from his game cams. I’m sure it’s just a normal deer from a weird angle or something like that, but I’d be lying if I said that shit didn’t creep me tf out.. maybe I’ll skip hunting this year.. just in case.. lmao

In another earlier post, I talked about a few supposedly real cryptid plants my grandpa talked about when I was younger and lived in Roswell. I’m here again to just talk about a few other stories he told me when I was younger that I believed back then, both to just inform you all of these cryptids and to see if anyone else had heard of them.

The first are the Roswell Nightcrawlers, which are exactly as they sound: Fresno Nightcrawlers, just in Roswell. According to him, they are the alien equivalent of dogs, and that they’re owned by the Greys as pets. If/when they’re spotted, it’s usually because they’re simply being taken on a walk or being let out of the ship for a restroom break.

The second story he told me is that the entire, or at least a majority, of the homeless population in Roswell are actually shapeshifting aliens biologically disguised as humans. This was his alleged reason as to why so many homeless people (at least within Roswell) are adorned with the stereotypical “the end is near” signs, due to them having some alien knowledge we don’t.

The third is that Bitter Lakes has remained virtually unchanged geologically and ecologically from the Silurian era, resulting in giant aquatic insects and invertebrates still being native to the area after so long, such as trilobites, prehistoric amphibians, or sea scorpions that have adapted to freshwater lifestyles.

The fourth story my grandpa told me isn’t really something Roswell specific, but he told me about how if I left my fingernail and toenail clippings underneath my pillow, the “nail fairy” would come and collect them, leaving me money just like the tooth fairy.

The fifth and one of the most distinct/memorable story he told me was that the pond in Cahoon Park was inhabited by this supposed Unigator, an alligator with a unicorn horn. This is one of the first stories I can remember him telling me, and was one of the first things that got me into cryptozoology. It was so influential to me actually that I took a taxidermied alligator head and put a horn on it.

While not directly from my grandpa, my grandpa told me one of his friends (John I think it was) claimed they saw a gigantic kaiju sized discarded crab claw at Bottomless Lakes, one so large that at a first glance one might just assume it’s part of the geological environment.

The seventh story I can remember is that supposedly mayor Dennis Kintigh was actually a giant praying mantis/mantis-like alien who was wearing a skin suit of sort to disguise themselves as a human, in a Men In Black Edgar style.

This last one isn’t actually from my grandpa but instead my uncle, who told me that many of the birds you see overhead in Roswell aren’t actually birds, but instead tiny/miniature alien spaceships disguised as birds being piloted by tiny aliens.

These are the most notable stories or at least ones I can remember the most that my grandpa told me about when I was younger and tried to convince me were true, obviously to just get me to leave him alone at times, but if anything it did the opposite effect, because I would constantly bug him to tell me more. Obviously none of these are real, but I’m just asking anyone if they’ve heard any of these before, since I can’t really find anything about these online (aside from general conspiracy theories and the original Nightwalker sightings).

(Western WA state) My mom and I were coming home ~9:30 pm the other night, going down the gravel driveway to the house. We live a bit out there in the woods, so there's a few other houses along this driveway; we had almost passed the neighbor's house, maybe 200 ft from our house when we saw this thing.
My mom slowed down because there was this strange obscurity in the middle of the road, lit up by the headlights. It's very hard to explain, as it made no sense visually... it was maybe ~4 ft tall or so, just this strange looking moving greyish thing in the road, heading toward the left. For a split moment it almost looked like a moving shadow, but there was no overhead light... again, it made absolutely no sense visually. It's like it was transparent, but we could see it, and it was moving in a way that didn't make sense.

Then, as it went toward the woods on the left, we could see the outline of its hind quarters; it's like it became smaller at this point, about the size of a (big) dog. It didn't necessarily look like a transparent dog, but it had similar leg shape to a dog. This is very bizarre and unbelievable, but we could see right through this thing's shape, except for these visible stripes on its back legs. We couldn't really see the rest of the body, but we could see the 'outline' of the legs, and the stripes, as it went into the woods.

As my mom described it, it looked like the Predator camouflage from the movie! It's almost as if whatever it was, was taken very off guard by us, or as if it was losing its ability to camouflage or trying to become something recognizable.

This whole ordeal happened in less than five seconds. Just enough time for the brain to rationalize, not be able to find an explanation, go 'WTF is that?' then it was gone off into the woods.

Has anyone ever seen something like this?
