A MYSTERY BEAST SPOTTED

There have been a large creature killing off livestock here in Pinebox. Ezekiel and I were searching for the source of large creature tracks seen leading to an area fenced off from the public. Always a good sign around here.

To our suprise we met a fellow hunter named Markus. His spouse didn't introduce themself but quickly demanded we help them through the fence. We opened up a hole in the fence and continued on. They bolted through the hole and kept off into the woods. We chased after them our pace quickening when we heard a deep growl.

The scene we came upon was horrific. A beast encased in shadow 9 feet tall and with the capability to be bipedal. Its skin stretched and leathery. Markus' spouse limp in it's arms. Ezekiel fired off a blast and the beast reared back dropping the body. Markus rushed forward to his spouse but the beast took deadly charge. I grabbed Markus by the back of his jacket ripping him back to me while Ezekiel sent off another blast. The beast grabbed the body and ran to the depths of the forest.

Ezekiel and I had to drag Markus back out of the forest. He screamed the entire way thrashing out of our hold multiple times. Once we past back through the fence he stopped. Body going limp he just sat in the dirt starring unblinking down at his hands. I tried to console the man, but what do you even say here. "I'm sorry your spouse was eaten by a giant unknow creature still roaming the forest. That must suck."

People I've loved have gotten hurt out there sure. Bitten, beaten, bruised beyond recognition. It's awful to sit in those waiting rooms not knowing. But I've never left the thicket knowing down to my bones that I'd never see someone again. It's a chilling feeling, the loss of hope. I'm going home and calling Vlad tonight.

I of course have my theories on what happened, and on what the thing was. How a creature could be so large hiding out in the thicket? As usual I can't state my theories here. Some people may be upset with my accusations. So for now all i can say is watch out for the things that lurk, beyone the thicket.

Place your hand above the water and wait. She’s coming to see you, just have patience. You’ll see her, rising up from the bottom, and then she’ll take your hand and pull you back down with her to her home, where you can stay and be happy. She’ll listen to you and while she may not speak, she’ll show her love for you any way she can. She is your guardian and she desires your happiness above all else. You are safe with her.

I hate the fact that the sentence “mummies are rare because we ate them” is factual.

[somewhatsociable]

I’m sorry, what?

[obscuritiesoffbeat]

I am so happy to be the one to introduce you to the horrible few hundred years where Europeans regularly consumed ground Egyptian mummies.

Autumn (1972) dir. by Marcel Hanoun

[beyondthethicket]

Last week I had a run in with a flatwoods monster. At least that's what I wished it was. A few classmates, now turned friends, followed a strange sight into one of their dorm rooms. The creature appaered to be a flatwoods moster but had a mechanical whirring sound. Like legends say the creature emitted a yellow mustard gas like smoke. It burned our eyes, skin, and lungs. One of my friends fell unconscious from the gas. My friends were slowly getting battered and pumbled and in a fit of desperation I tried to strike at it. The creature tore at me leaving no visable damage but I was later admitted into the hospital with sevear internal bleeding. I am unable to speak more on the matter at the moment, but I fear bad things are to come.

I Refuse To Die By Any Means Other Than A Cryptid

[beyondthethicket]

Today was my the freshman spirit rally for the university I'm going to. During this "spirit" rally the upperclass student pulled a bit of a prank on us by flickering the lights and playing ghoastly wails playing from the auditorium speakers. It pissed me off a bit. I was kinda hoping for something cool and haunting. Well, as luck would have it as the lights flickered one last time a mysterious apparition of a young women who appeared to be in flames. The women stayed for a few moment just enough for me the capture this image. We kept eye contact the entire time and i could tell this was not a projection or huax. This was not the end to the strange and spooky situation we were put in. Another student and I heard the crackle of fire coming from a room down the hall. Of course we follwed the sound into a utility room, in which we found the sprinkler system was broken. The student was strong enough to fix the sprinkler system. I noticed footprints leading outside, thinking we could find who did this, we followed. The exit door, however was chained shut from the outside. We decided to try another exit only to find every door leading outside was chained just the same. Not only are us and the other 500 freshmen student now locked in the auditorium but it's getting progressively hotter inside. After talking to another student, a breif acquaintance of mine, he told me about strange markings on the walls, upon inspection the markings seemed to be some form of fire or heat curse the area around them burning. Now that we knew what was causing the heat we needed to find a way to stop it or get out. The later is what ended up happening my boyfriend Vladamir was able to get out and cut the chains on a few of the doors realeasing most all of the students. Most everyone was out by the time the auditorium caught fire and no one was hurt more than minor smoke inhalation. I still wish I knew what those markings/ curses were. And who tried to burn down the auditorium? And why?

Today while visiting one of the local crossroads in town I came across a ward drawn into the dirt alongside the latin word pavus. I later found out that the ward was one to protect against evil and negative energy, and pavus meaning fear or evil, but at the time of discovery their meanings were a mystery. As well as seeing the ward I aslo caught sight of a mystery figure sneaking into the forested area lining the dirt roads. My curious nature got the best of me and I simply had to follow the figure into the woods. My good friend Vladamir stayed behind to take care of some buisness we had. (nothing serious or demon related no worries) I lost track of the figure as I entered the forest but after a few moments I was able to get back of their trail and track them until they were in my sights again. Once I found them however, I could hear faint chanting, in what I presumed was latin. Suddenly a flash of light appeared before them and when it faded the figure was gone. Unfortunately the video file that I captured was curupted when I went back to view it but I was able to save a few images here is the best one. Make of my encounter what you will. If anyone has more information that could help we understand the figures disappearance or the strange symbol please contact me.
