A picture is going viral on Facebook that appears to show a “demon.” The photo was posted by Richard Christianson and has been shared more than 60,000 times. The image appears to show a large, dark figure with wings and spikes on its head. The “demon” stands taller than a nearby home. Christianson captioned the photo, “What the hell do you see in this picture for reals ??? Anybody”. Many people on Facebook are arguing that it’s either a demon or an angel. So, what do YOU see?

The White Thing

In June of 2007, a fifteen year old boy came to his father. The boy seemed to be hesitant to bring up something and finally the father asked his son if there was something bothering him. The son confessed that he had been in the back yard a few nights earlier when he had an odd encounter. According to the boy, he had been in the yard when a long, white, thin creature suddenly darted through the yard. What his son described was nothing like any of the known wild life, but it was definitely frightening. “…he [the son] saw what he described as a white, tall, thin figure with an odd gait and unusual bends in its limbs (but otherwise humanoid) run away at a rapid pace…” His son drew a sketch of the creature that the boy had seen.

There have also been sightings of these all over the country. Including states as Kentucky, Georgia, Illinois, and Pennsylvania.

Some of the tendencies include high pitched screaming like a woman or baby crying, hunched over crawling on all fours, sometimes no eyes, only holes for ears, and sometimes having what appears to be fur.

Locals that have seen it in Somerset City Cemetery in Kentucky have been calling them Nightstalkers.

The Lights of Santiago: On December 31st of 2015, the annual ufo sightings over Santiago, Chile were captured yet again on video. These orbs of light were as large as cars, and have appeared every year to circle key points in the city in formation. The mystery lights were first reported in the 1980s, but now have been the subject of mass sightings since 2000, and accompanying video footage since 2014. When the footage of the lights first appeared, the Chilean military said that they were a squad of silent airforce jets, but when the lights reappeared and splintered into the smaller, independently moving, orbs seen in this video, their explanation seemed less credible. #babettebombshell #hauntedhotel #strangehistory #ufo #ufosighting #unsolvedmysteries #undisclosedtechnology #futurescience #fortean #xfiles

News: v2.5

v2.5 with new Allies, new monsters, and new items is currently in the works. After feedback from the local playgroup, I am also testing new rules related to points:

-Items now cost points to play

-Points are obtained by rolling against monsters

-Each player now starts with 3 points

-These points no longer contribute to the values that determine victory

-Victory is determined by the number of stars on monsters in players’ stashes

Partridge Creek Ceratosaur

Probably just a legend more than anything, The Partridge Creek Ceratosaur is a large, possible living prehistoric survivor living in the Yukon Territory. It was sighted in the very, very early 1900′s by a man named Georges Dupuy. From my research from available sources, the tale was recorded in a french science magazine called Je Sais Tout [‘I Know All’].

The tale began when Georges Dupuy, James Lewis Buttler, and Tom Leemore were invited to hunt moose with a local tribe on an unknown day and month. On their canoe, they went to a few spots until they reached Yukon’s Clear Creek. As they tried to find a good spot to shoot at one of the three moose, they all of sudden noticed that the moose suddenly raised their heads in a random direction, and then, surprisingly, run off.

When they reached the spot where the moose had fled, they soon got a surprise, as they noticed a large, black shape, walking up a hill in the snow. Over 40 or 30 feet long, they watched as the shape walked up the hill with ease.

Obviously frightened, they headed towards the tribe’s village, which was located near Armstrong Creek. There, they met up with a couple of Indians, and a priest named Pierre Lavagneux. Though they were all highly skeptical, they reluctantly agreed to go with the men to see what they had seen.

Though the only evidence they had found, and unfortunately had not been casted were footprints, they still wanted to see what it was. They then set up camp for the day nearby a ravine. Early in the evening, they were eating dinner when all of a sudden, they allegedly hear an ear-splitting roar right near camp! Fearing for their lives, the men in the camp grabbed their rifles and crept out of their tents, only to find, on the cliff, a slumbering therapod! They claimed that the beast had thick bristle like that of a boar, a 50ft long stature, and a large nasal horn.

“ A ceratosaurus… It’s a ceratosaurus of the Arctic Circle! ” The priest claimed as he noticed that the dinosaur had a nasal horn. As the men watched the ceratosaur walk among the snow, it gave another roar, and then, in a bound, walk into the ravine.

[there goes the credibility]

After the encounter, they returned to Armstrong Creek’s outpost, and right away, Georges Dupuy headed towards Dawson City to try to get it’s governor to send mules and 50 armed men to hunt for the creature, and, obviously, the governor

Then. on Christmas Day, in 1907, Pierre Lavagneux had sent a letter to Geogres Dupuy, claiming that he had and some Indians had chased the “beast”, which was carrying an alleged caribou in its mouth for at least two miles, until the falling snow had obliterated him and the Indians. He also claimed that it moved frighteningly fast. This was the last time this “beast” was sighted, and it would leave an impression on cryptozoology for the years to come.

Well … This is the giveaway art to some on deviantart. Surprise! someone didn’t follow the rules.

Look on the bright side, More art is coming!

These are the ‘Jacobs Photos’. Taken in 2007 in Northwest Pennsylvania on a trail camera, the first photo shows identifiable bear cubs frolicking around in front of the motion sensor camera, the next two photos though shown something a bit less identifiable. Whatever this creature is, to me it doesn’t look like your run of the mill bear, deer or big cat. I’ve seen pictures of mangy bears, and as you can see in the Google search, others believe that what this is, is not so cryptic. To me it looks like a pretty good fit, but you also just cannot be sure. Whatever it is, it’s not something I want to run into on a dark night, down a dark ally way…in the middle of a forest.

Storsjöodjuret: The Great Lake Monster of Sweden

The Storsjöodjuret is a lake monster that resides in Storsjön, the fifth largest lake in Sweden. Initial accounts of the monster date back to 1635. It is believed to have the head of a dog, and a reptile-like body with fins along its back.

The original account, made by a folklorist by the name of Morgens Pedersen, is included below.

“A long, long time ago two trolls, Jata and Kata, stood on the shores of the Great-Lake brewing a concoction in their cauldrons. They brewed and mixed and added to the liquid for days and weeks and years. They knew not what would result from their brew but they wondered about it a great deal. One evening there was heard a strange sound from one of their cauldrons. There was a wailing, a groaning and a crying, then suddenly came a loud bang. A strange animal with a black serpentine body and a cat-like head jumped out of the cauldron and disappeared into the lake. The monster enjoyed living in the lake, grew unbelievably larger and awakened terror among the people whenever it appeared. Finally, it extended all the way round the island of Frösön, and could even bite its own tail. Ketil Runske bound the mighty monster with a strong spell which was carved on a stone and raised on the island of Frösön. The serpent was pictured on the stone. Thus was the spell to be tied till the day someone came who could read and understand the inscription on the stone.”

Notice the differing views on whether it has a cat-like or dog-like head.

We see a huge interest in the creature in 1894, during the reign of King Oscar II. He had a unique interest in the creature, creating an organization to catch it. At one point, they dangled a dead pig over the lake, trying to lure the beast to them so they could capture it.

In 1986, the Jämtland county administrative board passed a law, granting the creature protection due to it being declared an endangered species. Not only was the beast protected, but so was its nest and offspring. Sadly, this law was revoked in 2005.

In 1903, during several nights in October, many prominent and respectable men in the community of Van Meter, Iowa, put their reputations on the line by claiming to see a strange creature in the sky. This creature was reportedly half-human and half-animal with gigantic bat-like wings. It also had a horn atop its head, could shoot a beam of light from its head and had a terrible smell that followed it. One witness even said that when on the ground, the beast hopped like a kangaroo. This creature was later called the Van Meter Visitor. Legend has it that the monster emerged from an old coal mine that is located just outside the town.

The Father of Cryptozoology: On August 24th of 2001, Switzerland’s Museum of Zoology of Lausanne, informed the world that Dr. Bernard Heuvelmans had died. Heuvelmans was a scholar, adventurer and lettered zoologist. He coined the phrase “cryptozoology” (the study of hidden animals) and was the first to turn a serious academic eye on the topic… it’s a sad statement on the current lack of curiosity in modern zoology, that such a term even need exist. The ivory towers of academia consider themselves masters of the entire scope of nature in mainstream zoology… this is a biproduct of science’s continued battle with superstitious creationists.As a result of endless pointless debates with delusional belivers, they have become brittle and aloof. Other branches of the natural sciences don’t share this intellectual vanity. For example, you’ll never hear the phrases cryptobotany or cryptoentomology, because those fields of study don’t assume that there is nothing left to be discovered under the sun. #babettebombshell #hauntedhotel #strangehistory #cryptozoology #unsolvedmysteries #undiscoveredanimals #fortean #xfiles

spooky question #10

what is the most terrifying creature on this planet? (if you can’t think of one, may i suggest looking up deep sea creatures?)

bogleech

It would be harmless to a human (and the pale, slimy fish we see here, which seems to spend its whole life as its symbiote) but the sheer idea of Stygiomedusa gigantea is so powerfully haunting it gives me chills to think about; especially from the perspective of its prey.

What you see here is at least twenty feet in length, and they’re seen so rarely they could easily get bigger. Their red-black coloration makes them invisible in the abyss, and they don’t have any stinging tentacles - only the vast oral arms, which as in other jellies are an extension of the digestive lining.

Prey are simply folded up and smothered in the sheets of tissue, and already begin to digest without even being drawn into the bell.

They’re out there, right now, thousands of miles away in the freezing abyss, billowing like huge, empty cloaks, blind and thoughtless. They don’t need to chase their prey. Helpless little things just find themselves trapped in a sticky, living shadow, wrapping up tighter in the membranous jelly the more they struggle. They digest so slowly that exhaustion or suffocation probably kills them first.

Footage of supposed Florida sea monster

Now I know I’ve been posting a lot of aquatic cryptid stuff, and not everyone’s into that, but this is some footage taken by a man named Glen Sowerwine in Florida. Taken over an extended period of time the footage shows several different encounters Sowerwine had filming this creature. This footage in particular focuses on the creatures supposed trident shaped tail.

Now only Sowerwine could tell you definitively if this footage is real or a hoax but in MonsterQuest’s episode on Sea Monsters (S3E10) several marine biologists took a look at the footage and unfortunately there was no conclusive answer between them. One expert believed without a doubt the creature was a manatee, another believed it to be a seal, another disagreed but was stumped as to what it was. Either way this video had me inches away from my screen trying to figure out what I was even looking at. Enjoy!

You know what this looks like to me?

I know the Tully Monster doesn’t have that trident-shaped fluke, but if this thing is still around, who knows what it might’ve changed into? The long body and the “flukes” really make me think of this.

It is thought that the legend of a Fur-Bearing Trout existing began when a Scottish settler in Canada wrote back to his home. In his letter, he explained that there were many species of “furried animals and fish”. His family, puzzled at the though, requested more information about this furry fish. According to the legend, the settler sent a specimen back to his family. In the Royal Scottish Museum, there hangs a mounted Fur-Bearing Trout that is said to have been caught in Lake Superior.
