Want to see more? Here is a documentary focusing on one of the strangest extraterrestrial encounters ever reported: kzbin.info/www/bejne/roCrh59vbNiCotE

[@karifirenze]

Yes!

[@watchmenoftruth5238]

Nice one sweet

[@eckoschreiber]

Gladly, thx! My fav. movie regarding US mythology is Interstate 60.^^

[@WBTVhd]

Tata duende

[@HansMcc1984]

What would kind of style are these paintings?

[@scarlletnull2811]

The Dover demon one absolutely terrifies me. I remember seeing an episode on it from monsters and mysteries as a kid years ago. The monster itself was already scary and the fact that it would go on trees was actually really scary.This was because my auntie's house had a bunch of trees in the backyard and every time I used the bathroom upstairs and it was night time I would always look at the window and think it was out there.

[@rockit3422]

I can understand. When I was about 5, my mom told me if I told a lie a dragonfly would sew my mouth shut. I was so terrified of dragonflies that I hid under a quilt out on our backyard lawn in 100 degree heat because there was one flying quite close to me. By the time they found me, I had severe heatstroke and had to go to the ER. To this day they still give me a slightly weird sensation when I see them.

[@InvaderGIR98]

Its always the semihuman, pale naked things that are the scariest

[@fireproofassassin]

Disturning tale but for me the tale of the Jersey Devil has me captivated. Then again, the Beast of Bray Road also does.

[@fireproofassassin]

The Wendigo does as well.

[@captainp.2721]

Ok and?

[@kbab5329]

Fun fact: The Loveland Frog picture at 16:58 is actually from a streamer I used to watch during an art stream, they found out about the Loveland Frog and thought it was really funny and decided to draw it, their sketch ended up looking like one of those eyewitness sketches so a viewer decided to take a screenshot and upload it on the Loveland Frog Wikipedia page. It was since removed but you can still find it from Google, I started laughing when I saw it on this video lmao

[@davisguite6379]

the one at 1658 is very similar to what I seen there were four of them and as I tried to get away they shocked the s*** out of me three different times. I kept telling myself that I was hallucinating and every time I try to get up to run they would shock the s*** out of me they were evil as f*** and not humanly evil like a dark evil that I've never experienced in this life like a satanic demonic evil and one of them smiled and I felt like my soul was molested. there was four of them total I was simply trying to take a shortcut through an alley during a thunderstorm

[@AyosheeshkoboYoesoes]

Eh

[@raceplayzichighidorahplayz702]

For me personally, I think the Wendigo is EASILY the scariest. I live in the Midwest and it shocks me that I live not to far from the state that they are said to live in the USA, that being, Minnesota. Idc if it’s more than likely fake, it’s flipping scary!

[@xursed7990]

I'm metis living in Manitoba. I listened to old stories from elders and a cassette tapes with indigenous children's stories that talked about the wendigo. In one of them there was a group of wendigo that buried their hearts in the ground so they could not be killed and started eating the children of the village.

[@raceplayzichighidorahplayz702]

@@xursed7990 THAT is scary.

[@michaelbruns449]

Huge rabid werewolves.

[@Dovey12]

Yeah, I live in Michigan and a lot of other kids like to bring them up at night and during the winter, it’s scary stuff, and it didn’t help that after I first learned about wendigo my sister got into the game Until Dawn and would make me watch her play lol

[@GotchYoAss]

i live in minnesota and there are a bunch of ‘bigfoot’ experiences/stories most all of them in the northern part of the state which is mostly uninhabited with many small lakes/ponds, river channels, and verry heavily wooded stretching over 100’s of miles. could very well be mistaken for wendigo, could be just sasquatch, could be both! there’s a lot of wildlife and heavy woods so if they are real it would make sense to be rarely sighted if they have indigenous animals to eat and not many people explore, and when they do they probably would avoid wanting to be seen

[@casseroledragon3277]

I appreciate that you featured the Wendigo! I grew up in New Mexico, and there was a night where me and my friends saw something that looked earily similar to the classic Wendigo description. Whenever we talked about it at school too, friends would say that it sounded like a Wendigo. Super scary incident and we were all just glad we weren't alone when we saw it!

[@IsaacStoneWolf]

I don't think it's a wendigo. I think it's a yee naaldlooshii. please do your own research about the topic, it is not right for me to speak about them.

[@Icy_Polish_Italian]

​@@IsaacStoneWolfwhy you can't speak about the topic?

[@IsaacStoneWolf]

@@Icy_Polish_Italian I am not from a tribe that believes in skinwalkers or wendigos. The people who are from these tribes prefer not to speak about it either as it's bad medicine.

[@Icy_Polish_Italian]

@@IsaacStoneWolf but if you aren't from those tribes why won't you speak about them? (sorry if it sound rude, i'm curious)

[@gothgirl4evr414]

From my understanding about wendigo is they are from very cold regions so southwest wouldn't be the area. However skinwalkers would seem more likely. I could be mistaken but everything I've heard about wendigo they are around the great lake and Canada regions

[@Headless_Bill]

On a random note, I love watching great blue herons in flight because due to their body structure, large wingspan, and the fact that they stick their long spindly legs straight behind them during flight (resembling a long thin tail), the look like pterodactyls!

[@jessicadorion8507]

Their feet even form that perfect triangle at the end lol I've seen it a few times like what the, oh ...

[@logimoe]

I think the same thing whenever I see herons or cranes flying

[@ScarTrek]

Ben Radford's book Tracking The Chupacabra really is gold. Not only blows the idea apart but demonstrates how false reports can happen and lead to widespread hysteria. It's utterly fascinating to see a cryptid invented in my lifetime and be able to pinpoint the how, why and when of it all.

[@KS-ep1vr]

At 34:04, I had to look up mountain gorillas when he said Sasquatch would be the only large primate that didn't live in tropical habitat. Lo and behold, even tho the mountains where they live is cooler (wiki says the lowest it gets is 10C or 50F) it's still "in a tropical region". Once again, an opportunity to learn on this KZbin channel while having fun!

[@idmonster4383]

Topics such as this have fascinated me since childhood. At the time, I felt certain that most if not all of these purported creatures were, in fact, real. While my view of the matter tends to be more critical these days, it has also become much more nuanced. After all, learning to take an even-handed approach from multiple perspectives can and does lead to some interesting conclusions. There are many instances that offer very interesting food for thought.

[@michaeltnewyorknights8413]

If only more people had the gift of grey as well as thee.

[@narrativesurgeon4514]

Used to be a huge cryptid skeptic, thought bigfoot looked like a guy in a suit and the Lockness Monster looked like a bit of driftwood. Then I SAW a Jersey Devil. I thought it was just some normal black wild goat out in a wetland just past a pine forest while I was driving through South Jersey. Then it raised it's head from where it was drinking and stretched its w i n g s . I gotta tell you. I almost crashed my car. I drove back by the place three times but didn't see anything again. I had only heard of something called the Jersey Devil once or twice but never heard or seen a description. Once I heard the full story from my dad and saw a drawing of the Devil, I almost threw up. Now I'm not advocating for the existence of all cryptids ever talked about, but I will say that the Lockness Monster has looked a lot less like driftwood since I saw that winged goat...

[@gypsy_gallus]

Loch Ness monster

[@jomansson5742]

The Loch Ness monster was apparently a toy. These creatures are hybrids. Maybe created by unethical geneticists? The story of genetic manipulation has been mentioned in ancient history, from Sumeria onwards.

[@sid6576]

Sorry it was my dog

[@bradbradthebrad]

bruh all of the cryptids were at a pool table and heard about you being a skeptic and jersey devil was like “bet” 💀

[@VanLyfe420]

Similar Story with Bigfoot for me. Dude I swear one finger was as wide as my first three fingers... roughly 2 inches wide

[@godetonter4764]

This is the best narrator I have encountered on KZbin. He's a bit cheerful for a narrative about monsters, but at least he sounds human , and I can actually decipher the sentences he articulates

[@Fireoflearning]

Thank you!

[@pgasnow]

An absolutely wonderful documentary. Both educational and entertaining, plus you managed to avoid the sensationalist "they want to keep the truth from you. cryptids are real!!!" approach and the "i apply the scientific method to debunk these claims" way of looking at things, both of which - on their own - seem short-sighted to me (the whole thing is also really cleanly and effectively edited - i'm just starting out with doing my own short video essays on youtube, so i guess i'm hypersensitive to that sort of thing at the moment, lol). I love cryptids and am absolutely fascinated by them, but the question "are they real or not?" has always been a lot less interesting to me than the exploration of all the different stories, depictions in art etc. etc. ... not sure if anybody feels the same way, but in any case thank you I thoroughly enjoyed watching this.

[@sageoffire3964]

Jersey Devil has always been a favorite of mine. I grew up in southern Jersey, and my grandmother told tales of this creepy creature. Also Jersey Devil is a fun PS1 game that I have alot of nostalgia for.

[@Bothrops_Asper_89]

I knew this guy who lived all his life in WV, and he was terrified of the woods. He always used to tell how one day, while he was on a hunting trip with his grandfather and uncles in 1987, they all saw this huge, white-furred thing chasing a deer up a hill. He knew it was no bear, since it charged like a chimp or a gorilla, and made this deep, booming trumpet-like sound instead of growling or huffing like a bear; and it was huge. Like the size of a moose. That's how a coworker supposedly saw the Grafton Monster, one of West Virginia's lesser-known monster.

[@spleens4200]

Idk why, but I always get excited when the dogman is mentioned. I used to have a hyperfixation on the cryptids of Michigan, which oddly started with the ghost of Reynold’s Cemetery

[@caverncreature]

I like wendigo yenadloshi dogmas and mothman

[@frankboff1260]

I still think that the skinwalker/Wendigo fits the description of a brain disease called Kuru which comes from having eaten human brain tissue. It’s an incurable, though obviously preventable prion disease.

[@schlorping5156]

Iirc it doesn’t have to be brain matter, but rather any part of the nervous system (it’s also not exclusive to human meat) which would be quite difficult to avoid were you to participate in cannibalism. You can also have it for years without any noticeable symptoms, and it is contagious through consumption (if you eat something/someone that has it, you contract it, and if someone/something eats you, they contract it, and so on and so forth). It’s why having a culture that participates in cannibalism is so dangerous.

[@purplegalaxies2149]

I don’t believe in cryptics, but the stories and designs are so fascinating, cool and intriguing.

[@MourningCoffeeMusic]

Human beings are so imaginative. Picture living 200+ years ago, when folklore and religion dominated human consciousness. Seeing dangerous or unknown animals in the dead of night would easily lead to any one of these stories, and the further back you go the more wildlife we encountered as a species. I can only imagine encountering the short-faced bear or a terror bird and the stories that would be passed down for generations.

[@qotdgame]

Well done. This is one of our favorite topics!

[@_Kyrie_Eleison_]

This video ends a perfect night for me, i love cuddling up in a warm blanket, eating snacks and watching this and other cryptid videos. Excellent job, i tip my hat to you and your team.

[@Fireoflearning]

Enjoy your night!

[@ironreed2654]

"That experts do not believe exist because they do not exist", love that line.

[@cuentaparamiscelaneos]

Hi! I'm from Puerto Rico. I was a teen when the Chupacabras ate it's first goat. It was a really big deal. As teens we used to go to El Yunque (in Canóvanas) at night to drink and have a good time. People around the area swore that they would see ovnis flying in and out of the mountan. It was always heavily guard by MPs. Real theory was that inside the mountain was a lab and that is were the Chupacabras escaped from. It was plausible because there had never (or has) been such a big use of government and military to search for a cryptid. It doesn't even make sense! Also, the P. R. Chupacabras wasn't described as any hairless dog by those who claimed to see it. That came a couple of years later when it was "seen" in the U.S. I think we are talking about 2 different species of animals.

[@deplorabledegenerate2630]

I would like a part 2 with Navajo skinwalkers, the blue hole cephalopod and the Kelly-Hopskinville encounter. Maybe even go into how the giant and colossal squids were also considered superstitious hogwash all the way up to being verified.

[@versebuchanan512]

My favorite thing about Hopkinsville is that gunfire isn't fatal to whatever they are, but you CAN send 'em fucking flying if you get a solid hit lol

[@wildfire5838]

Y’all remember cryptids island in Poptropica? That is my favorite island EVER! I loved the Chupacabra part where you were driving around, and the best part was when you see the Jersey Devil out the window. I miss that, it was soooo fucking cool when I saw it the first time.

[@Arthagnou]

after watching some of the Skinwalker Ranch stuff, specifically when they interviewed the Colonel (season 3 I think(, he mentioned seeing a giant 3 toed print on the ground of the Ranch. His thought was that these creatures appear temporarily when the barrior between worlds is thin. I tend to think all these cryptids suffer that, and thus are nearly impossible to find.

[@ivanstrydom8417]

The Mothman is to me the most intriguing creature in the video. This film was also quite good.

[@valval3919]

Still watching but have to say I like that you did the map with pins on it for reference Good job and very interesting video! Thanks!

[@ihaveagun3183]

I had a very brief encounter with the paranormal. So it was summer of 2017, I was at a program for my school called Rec. For context, Rec was a little Park/Playground that students of my school went to from grades kindergarten to 3rd, it had a shed where equipment was stored (trust me, that part is important, you'll see why soon). So I was there with my friend Dunken and someone else, we were in the shed and when we looked at some cardboard with a hockey stick on it, the cardboard moved. Now there was no wind that day so it couldn't have been the wind. Idk what that was but I did see a terrifying face with glowing purple eyes in the window of the shed the next time I looked in it...

[@BaxterAndLunala]

What's funny is, many of these cryptids were the topic of some episodes of Expedition X. Ones I've seen, anyway. Among them are Bigfoot, the Mothman, the Jersey Devil, the Ozark Howler, and the Beast of Bray Road. Also, a Jersey Devil mythical Pokemon in Black and White was a missed opportunity.

[@Engine33Truck]

Cryptids are really cool to read about. Mothman is my local cryptid, mom told me a story once about seeing what she thought was Mothman when she was a kid.

[@jamesellepullen7570]

I'm from NJ. It's called the pine barrens

[@usedtissuepaper42]

Just Some Bigfoot with Internet Access been real quiet since this dropped

[@braydenchastain2002]

I had a strange experience one night in Texas. A friend and I were driving home late at night when out of nowhere a small, black humanoid creature darted right out in front of our headlights. It was too fast to make out any details.

[@brotherimzee]

i like the addition of markers on the NA map. I appreciated this small detail very much!

[@claireivymullins854]

I grew up in northern Michigan, and every Halloween my dad would play the dogman song- it became a point of pride that we had our own cryptid

[@jodielynnwiley5060]

I find the sounds of the wolf's and owls comforting when I'm off in the middle of the woods

[@ezimm1829]

Right as I finished the video, late at night, I heard a squeaking noise from outside my window that I've never really heard before. I'm pretty confident it was a bat, but now I'm scared that I'm going to look out and see a pair of glowing, red eyes

[@iii978]

Your vids are perfect on 1,5speed. Ben watching all of your creature vids this morning

[@T_The_Asogian]

Brilliant video and very informative. Real or not, these cryptids are terrifying yet fascinating at the same time. The thought of walking through a secluded area and coming face to face with one of these entities is petrifying. T

[@noahadams7784]

I know quite a bit about Bigfoot and I have to say, your bit on Bigfoot was really awesome. I liked how you didn’t drag your opinion through the whole thing and ruin it, instead showing both sides and ending with it being more possible than most things but still unlikely and comparing it to things like the giant squid and platypus. But I wished that you had explained more about the regional Bigfoot as they vary greatly in both looks and experiences, one of which I’m most fascinated about, the Ohio Grassman. From what I know the Grassman is quite litterally Bigfoot’s bigger brother, sightings estimate it to be between 9 to even 11 feet tall and weight as much as a small car. Of course these proportions are both terrifying and also hard to believe, but not impossible as they aren’t really well known air studied. I’m not gonna get into that but I just can’t imagine being a countryman from southern onion hunting in the forest and all of a sudden your greeted by this 11 foot tall, colossal, hairy, bipedal, ape with giant teeth and massive arms snarling and growling like a lion. I’ve also heard that this Bigfoot in particular possesses unbelievable strength, as it is said to knock down trees to access fruit and known to throw rocks and other large objects at intruders.

[@Brianna-eo8nu]

15:10 “Why would an advanced bring capable of interstellar travel come to earth simply to run around naked in the woods of Massachusetts?” Unrestrained summer fun.

Great video! I'm creating a comic book series called KING CRYPTID and this was great to have on in the background while I worked.

[@YoloJakers]

you should definitely shine some light on the piasa bird! love to see a video of you talking about it🤞🏼

I literally was about to make a video on cryptids from North America, and KZbin recommends me this-_- Nice vid btw

[@globalc3849]

Love love love these mystery vids. Creatures. Aliens. Abductions. Anything in the unknown mystery genre.

[@jplatt812]

I live in Indiana & have many, MANY trail cam pics of CoyWolves, coyote/wolf hybrid w/1 personal encounter in early March, unarmed, while shed hunting. These K9s are much, MUCH bigger than a full grown German Shephard.

Dude, if they're ever looking for a modern Rod Serling stand-in you've got the gig man!

[@hoo7797]

19:17 the way you pronounced "Canóvanas" is hilarious

[@coleheilgeist]

I live right by Bray Road!! I’ve driven down it multiple times at night but haven’t seen anything. It’s mostly just cornfields there with little tiny patches of forests. Now I’m going to have to go hike around the area and into the forest areas to get a deeper look in the area

[@bigbrad6828]

As far as Sasquatch goes, the chances of there being a creature that large in the continental United States that a hunter or more likely a surveyor has found one or come across a body seems nearly impossible.

[@briangarcia9615]

I thought this was gonna be a guy on KZbin making up a bunch of stuff. But I actually been to some of these states and I heard people talk about these things. Especially the Jersey Devil and Moth man. So good job my man

[@Truecrimekid]

Love ure videos I love making videos on paranormal and cryptids 😊

[@madib6601]

side note: love the bob ross like painting in between the scarier tone paintings:))

[@15098D]

I think some people (myself included) enjoy believing because of the wonder it adds to the world. Life can be so boring when you think you understand everything. Cryptids are a spark of magic in a mostly solved world. Some times its more about wanting to believe than actually believing, hence the phrase "I want to believe"

[@3AM.Paranormal]

Great vid. A question in my mind keeps popping up. After seeing well over 30 cryptid based vids, stories in numerous books since childhood and even first hand accounts, the question still lingers on. "Why did/do most of these stories stop in 1950s-1970s?" What happened, did all of these 'cryptids' just disappear/die off, explain all away by science, or are they still around but we are too busy trying to survive the ebb and flow of life to really care? 🤔

[@TheyWillKnowAnother]

I got a theory for the Dover Demon one, what if it was an extra terrestrial but not a sophisticated one. What if it was a pet to actual sophisticated ones that was let loose on manager to escape from the ufo

[@joshball9530]

There's a few other notable North American cryptids that I noticed that were left out of this video, when the topic of dogmen was brought up the Thing from the LBL in KY was left out, the Snalleygaster was lef out, the Goatman of MD was left out; Sheepsquatch was left out; Champ of lake Champlain was left out, Ogopogo of Canada, the Hoadag of WI & the Thunderbird was left out as well

The New Jersey Devils NHL franchise now makes sense to me. Thanks

[@eddiepaisa6775]

This comment was 2 weeks ago but feels like right now. Cuz now it all makes sense

[@aphtinnmiller3028]

Could you do the night walkers? It’s a Native American legend that is pretty popular in minnesota and Wisconsin and as someone who lives in that area it would be cool to see more about them

[@kennedycollins231]

Mans really hit me with the “On a dark and stormy night”😂 shiver me timbers

Kind of scary and instructive video about something that either does or does not exist

[@wadejohnston4305]

New Jersey native here. We all love swapping stories about the jersey devil although where I live now in northeast jersey it isn't discussed as much though we do get a lot of wendigo sightings! Nj has SO much weird lore. Check out Weird NJ guys!

[@TommyCease-zd3qt]

People who have lived in a rural area know that you can’t always identify sounds or shapes in the darkness but there is also a reasonable expectation but some people are simple

[@jimbo_jones5097]

I love the paintings you have in your videos where do you get them?

I was ready to hate hearing what you would say about wihtikoh(Cree way to say it) but yours is the most accurate description I’ve heard from a non Indigenous person. Good job!

[@derrickhaggard]

One of my favorite mythical creatures of North America is the Ghost Cat. The Ghost Cat is a creature of Cherokee myth/legend it is said to be a phantom feline that looks like a ghostly cougar that serves a spirit of justice and vengeance.

[@michelledevereux1905]

Fascinating!🌱

[@paulforder591]

In addition to keeping an open mind about cryptids, it's a good idea to do some "in the field" research, to find out if these unknown animals really do exist, or are misidentifications by witnesses. 🐉🤓

My uncle used to be a truck driver, and used to go all over America. On one of his trips he was driving through New Jersey late at night, and he saw a strange creature going across the road. He believes that it was The Jersey Devil. I believe he was telling the truth when he told the story, but I'm not sure if it was actually The Jersey Devil though. But it is an interesting story.

One of the things on my bucket list is to visit every Location of every sighting of cryptids/mythical creatures in North America. So far I’ve only visited 3.

honestly the only thing that’s ever scared me to huddle up is while I was watching my younger brothers and I saw the image (give or take a few features) of the white rendition of the Wendigo. I got my knife and got my dog and hoped it would leave my yard. Not so fun times living in Western PA

[@00MSG]

What a perfect conclusion.

[@harold3141]

[@ANGELDEV1L]

I love the way you talk so much

[@sumo_1star]

Need a part two! I feel like there are more western cryptids that are out there

I live in Michigan and I used to be TERRIFIED of the Michigan Dogman. I remember reading about it in a book when I was pretty young and for months I wouldn’t even look out the window at night, even if it was just a glance. It didn’t help that I lived in a pretty rural area surrounded by forests where coyotes would scream at random times of night. I know there was a song made about it and I refuse to listen to it even to this day.

Most explanations for cryptids are so funny to me. I just imagine these people freaking out over having seen something they can't explain and someone just goes "have you considered the existence of birds?" like bruh it's not an unspeakable horror, that's just a common owl haha

[@kennethlang5480]

Great video and Amazing legends.

[@mylesdonovan9068]

I think the most interesting thought of Bigfoot is the idea that it is entirely possible that they could be burying/hiding their dead and that’s scary just based on the implications

[@neonicon8500]

You know this dude has a suit on acting out in front of the camera like he's a host on one of those Fact or Fiction shows lol

[@generalerica4123]

The Mothman may look scary, but I think it’s easily my favorite cryptid, as the harbinger of impending doom I always understood it to be a very gentle being, appearing as a silent agent of warning, rather than posing any danger itself. Kind of like cryptid Batman without the fighting. I think that’s cool.

The main issue for Sasquatch wouldn't even be their energy needs. It would be reproduction. So they have vast territories spanning hundreds of square miles of untapped wilderness and are so rare that the only footage we have of it is from the 60s, but they're supposed to find one another in order to have a baby? Sheer statistics alone would have rendered Sasquatch extinct in just a handful of generations.

Carlos Alberto Machado is a Brazilian researcher who studied the chupacabras phenomenon in Brazil in the nineties and his findings are astounding, if you can read portuguese, I highly recommend his book on the subject: "Olhos de Dragão"

[@whitesky18]

A well balanced video.

[@kellyburket6955]

I saw the Jersey Devil. I never saw a drawing of it but the drawing shown here is a crude but reasonably accurate depiction.

[@suzannecooke2055]

your graphics are beautiful.
