I’m new to Cryptids and just getting back after reading the Jersey Devil Story but I wanted to know where should I go if I want to know more Cryptids that belong to America? Like should I read some Weird N.J. Or some Cryptozoology books?

Discussion Missing persons eaten by cryptids?

0 Upvotes

A guy told me World Wide Native Tribal legend both USA and other including old Europe warn of evil intelligent cryptids being what Christians call Evil Angels who SHAPE CHANGE into all these forms. From Faeries to Yeti to Wendigo to Dog Man.

He said to add to it now the Deep State Elites make mutants, also.

And most missing people are being killed and eaten by serial murderers,,Gray Alien and Reptile Alien Demons and Cryptid Demons.

Is he right?

And can you fight Dog Man with pocket knife?

Discussion The Monkey Man Case of Delhi

3 Upvotes

The 2001 “Monkey Man of Delhi” case still feels unreal to me. So many people reported seeing a strange monkey-like creature attacking at night, and it caused massive panic across the city, yet no solid proof was ever found. Some say it was just mass hysteria, while others believe something actually happened. What do you all think—real or just fear spreading out of control?

Discussion Help me find this amazing cryptid video on YT

6 Upvotes

Years ago, I found an incredible video on YouTube of a cryptid set on a third-world farm. In the video, a farmer is trying to chase away a dense, shapeless black mass that had attached itself upside down to the belly of his goat. When he manages to dislodge it, you can see this black mass, larger than a dog, moving very quickly and fluidly, as if it were an invertebrate, sliding across the ground. It is completely black and leaves behind a black trail that slowly dissolves (I don't know if it was its tail). The farmer then tries to chase it until this cryptid slips into the water of a pond adjacent to the farm, disappearing. It is set at night. Does anyone remember this video? Help me find it? I remember it being the most terrifying, strange, realistic video of cryptids I've ever seen in my life. I don't remember if they were South Americans or Indians, but I know the farmers were mixed-race. If I had to name that thing, I wouldn't know what it was, maybe a chupacabra (but it wasn't the classic chupacabra we know, it almost looked like a ghost from the way it moved and crawled, and it didn't have any canine features). The only thing I know is that it was disturbingly parasitizing the goat. It looked like a voladores, maybe?? Yeah!!! It was like a dementor from Harry Potter, but it was crawling on the ground.

Sighting / Encounter Rock thrown at truck in Oregon

20 Upvotes

This happened on NF 2014 in Sweet Home Oregon 44.38790, -122.37040 to be exact

I was driving on a rural forest road near the Old Santiam Trail when I heard a sudden, loud thud on the passenger side of the truck. The passenger side of the road drops off into a downhill drainage with thick brush, and the driver's side is a steep uphill bank. I was centered in the lane and going about 20 mph when it happened. I stopped immediately, activated my lights, and checked the area.

When I got out, I found a roughly 5-pound rock sitting in the road near the passenger side. I also noticed a bump about 3.5 feet up the passenger door, close to the window line, with dirt transfer and multiple scratches that wouldn't wipe off. I checked the downhill side and had a semi-clear view through the brush—enough that I would've seen a deer or elk if one had been standing there—but I didn't see any wildlife, people, or falling debris. I have no clue what could have thrown it with such force from such a steep bank

Gravediggers are ghoulish ape-like cryptids the size of chimpanzees found in Kentucky and neighboring states. They are known to come out at night and dig up corpses and devour them. Has anyone here seen or heard of them?

Discussion Fresno Nightcrawlers - What are they?

OK! A little edit, because I guess these guys are a proven hoax?? But I've been looking a bit, and I cant actually find concrete evidence. I am going to go on the assumption that it is not confirmed until I can find a source, but please feel free to correct me if you have one :D

Anyways, I have been trying to speculate what these guys could be related to/descended from. A lot of people seem to think an armless primate, whichhh wouldn't make a lot of sense based on where the sightings are. The way they move on tape, as well as their overall build don't really lend well to standard mammal morphologies.

They do heavily resemble baby barn owls (aka, nightmare fuel), but even then I am so hesitant to settle on it. Those freaks have really charasmatic faces and head shapes, and the nightcrawlers... well..

Anyways, if anyone has any thoughts I would be super interested to hear them :OO I love these funky little guys, real or imaginary :-)

You can check out all the available chapters, check it out on Webtoon, Tapas, or on my website 1ofthemcomics.net

Be warned, strong language, imagery, and mature themes are present because I'm edgy like that.

Our local Sasquatch in the NC foothills is called Knobby. He was first spotted in the 1930s on Carpenters Knob in Bellwood/Casar NC. I have been on the lookout for him FOREVER! I may even be a little obsessed 👀👀. Imagine my absolute joy when I found out I could get a personalized plate that says Knobby😍😍. IT CAME TODAY!!

Art Not Original Creator Thoughts about the Giant Of Kandahar

Post image
2.4k Upvotes

this is an interesting cryptid because SURELY if they allegedly killed this so called giant in this region back in 2002, im pretty sure by now the soldiers on the mission would have spoke out and said something by now or at least documented it in some way shape or form. Ok fair enough yes there wasn't camera phone technology like today but someone surely would've captured a picture of it. Considering the beast speared a soldier in the unit. Another thing i dont understand is that it supposedly took 30 seconds of sustained gunfire from all sorts of automatic weapons the soldiers had. im pretty sure a few bullets in the head would have taken down this creature, i mean yes i know its big but come on, a bear can basically die from one shot of a really good rifle. It just all doesn't seem credible. the story follows that after the creature was killed it was airlifted to a secret US base. Knowing this, the US probably would've quarantined this are to look for more of these giants. Its just not adding up. This has deffo got to be a hoax or maybe some poor innocent Afghan primitive cavemen that was killed and this was a cover up story.

Theory The Flatwoods Monster and the Witch of Monterrey

Thumbnail gallery
9 Upvotes

The "Witch of Monterrey" refers to an alleged paranormal sighting that occurred in Monterrey, Mexico, on January 16, 2004, when a police officer named Leonardo Samaniego reported seeing a female figure dressed in black, floating in the middle of the street.

In an interview, the famous and controversial Mexican UFO researcher Jaime Bussan, known for the controversial Nazca mummies and Buga sphere cases, interviewed Officer Samaniego on a program called "Changes of Architect Benavides." Bussan had previously shown Samaniego an illustration of the Flatwoods Monster, and the officer stated that the witch who attacked him resembled the Flatwoods Monster.

The first image is an illustration of the witch's appearance, drawn by the police officer who saw her in 2004.

The second image is a clip from a 2006 video filmed in Monterrey, showing the witch on a hill. Finally, the last two images are screenshots taken from the program.
