Cryptid of the Day: Ellengassen
Description: A Swiss rancher living in Patagonia told of a cave inhabited by a creature described as half-man, half-armadillo. They are harmless, but they throw rocks at people if they get too close. Theories range from glyptodonts to ground sloths.
Cryptid of the Day: Pinchaque
Description: In his 1825 journal, Cpt Charles Cochrane collected sightings of carnivorous elephants in the Colombian Andes. Cochrane himself also claimed to have seen these beasts, which the locals called Pinchaque. Zoologist Francois Roulin believed it to be a misidentified tapir.
Cryptid of the Day: Giant Vampire Bat
Description: According to a Mexican newspaper published on January 6th, 1969, a farmer and mule were attacked by a large vampire bat in Argentina’s Jujuy Province. The article also relays a woman and a man who were killed by large bat in their sleep.
Cryptid of the Day: Man-Dragon
Description: In 1926, farmers around the Xiaon Te Dam in southeastern China reported seeing a winged figure flying through the skies, which they called “Man-Dragon”. Shortly after, the dam collapsed, killing 15000 people. Many think the Man-Dragon was a dark omen.
Cryptid of the Day: Ingøy Serpent
Description: In 1934, a schoolteacher recalled seeing a sea serpent off the coast of Injøy Island, Norway, in 1910. He described it as having a long neck, a small head, and rose 5-6ft out of the water. It gained more attention after the sightings of the Loch Ness Monster
Cryptid of the Day: Tahiti Rail
Description: On the French Polynesian island of Tahiti, there lived a bird called the Red-billed Rail. No specimen was captured, and we only know of its existence thanks to a painting made by explorer George Forster. Though declared extinct in 1775, locals claim that the bird is still alive, with sightings recorded in the 1930s.
Cryptid of the Day: Giant Dragonfish
Description: Marine biologist William Beebe ventured to the depths of the sea in 1938 in his bathysphere submersible to witness what lay beneath the waves. And sure enough, he found something. A massive dragonfish, which he described as 6ft long and bioluminescent. No one has seen such a fish since, with the largest known dragonfish being only 55 cm long.
Cryptid of the Day: Michigan Dogman
Description: In 1987, disc jockey Steve Cook wrote a song about a legendary Michigan cryptid called the Dogman, said to have been reported since 1887. After the song was broadcast, eyewitnesses claimed to have seen these beasts. As it turns out, Cook made up the legend for the song, though people still claim to see it.
Cryptid of the Day: Don Wood Monster
Description: One of the strangest alien encounters, pilot Don Wood Jr. claimed to have seen two disc-like flying creatures in 1925, though it wasn’t published till 1959. He saw the creature near Battle Mountain, Nevada, and described the small one as 8ft wide with a red belly.
Cryptid of the Day: Giant Water Hen
Description: The line between cryptid and animal can be blurry, such in the case of Mauritius’s 6-foot-tall water hen. The only account of this bird was in 1691 by Francois Legaut. While it was accepted as real back then, many have doubted the bird’s existence due to no natural evidence supporting the claim.
Cryptid of the Day: State Line Pond Monster
Description: In May of 2003, residents of Tolland County, Connecticut, claimed to have seen a 20-foot python inhabiting State Line Pond. The creature has been mostly seen by nocturnal fishermen, though wildlife experts believe that what they saw were misidentified black rat snakes.
Cryptid of the Day: Bermuda Triangle Jellyfish
Description: In his book, The Devil’s Triangle, Richard Winer described seeing a 50-foot jellyfish south of Bermuda. Winer had a camera, but when the jellyfish showed up, he had run out of film. It was later speculated that it was a giant squid or a giant octopus.
Cryptid of the Day: Kodiak Dinosaur
Description: In 1969, a shrimp boat equipped with sonar picked up a strange reading off the island of Kodiak, Alaska. They detected something 330ft below, 200ft long, with two pairs of flippers, a long neck, and a square head. It was called the Kodiak Dinosaur, even though plesiosaurs were technically not dinosaurs.
Cryptid of the Day: Nottingham Lion
Description: Nottingham, England, is known for its lions, whether it be their Hockey Team or the two stone statues in Old Market Square. But back in July of 1976, a real lioness was seen there. The ABC was seen by 65 people, yet police could never capture the beast. Instead, they insisted that what people were seeing was a very big dog.
Cryptid of the Day: Ngoima
Description: The Ngoima is a bird seen in the Congo jungle that resembles an eagle, but with a wingspan of 10-13 ft long. It was seen by Andre Mouelle, who reported the incident to Roy Mackal. Mackal theorized that Mouelle saw a Martial Eagle, although they are not found where Mouelle saw the bird.
Cryptid of the Day: Girvan Carcass
Description: In August of 1953, a fisherman off the coast of Girvan, Scotland, found a beached 30-foot carcass, sporting a camel-like head. Scientists who examined the body dismissed it as a large whale, while the press claimed it was somehow related to the Loch Ness Monster.
Cryptid of the Day: Beast of Truro
Description: In September of 1981, the town of Truro, Massachusetts, was terrorized by a mystery mauler, who killed pets and livestock.
