The Crazy Creatures of North America - Exploring North American Folklore

Always, always.

Learning about different folklores taught me how to appreciate different cultures.

[@Wholenewszn]

This is a fact, I'm with you on this one

[@Fetltox95]

And how some cultures have similar creatures but with different names... for example here in Mexico it’s very común to hear about “la llorona” and than you have the banshee I think from Ireland ... they have a lot of similar trades but with a hundred of miles distance and different times.. so it’s really interesting

[@tfordham13]

​@Erick Ortega there not really similar banish kill you with thier screams plus death is common

[@twoczents]

Sir, we are in West Virginia.

[@ethansaffier8037]

what about food? do you eat soylent green?

[@neodonovandragoncareyblade257]

There's also some crazy cryptids from North America you haven't identified such as The Snallygastor,Dover Demon,Batsquatch,Piasa Bird,Fresno Nightcrawlers,and The Bishopville Lizardman

There is something fascinating to me about cryptids. They make me kind of shudder but I just can´t help but want to find out more. I have fallen down a couple of internet holes concerning cryptids on some dark nights. Maybe it is my sese of curiosity mixed with the hope of there being more to this world than meets the eye. I would be super on board with more videos like this.

[@DECA808]

ah yes the possibility of something more in this world that meets the eye....i feel the same

[@teyanuputorti7927]

I totally agree with you on this

[@christianadams9114]

Many of these entities are emerging from within Inner earth. No the earth isn’t flat, but it isn’t solid either. It’s like Swiss cheese with vast cave systems where dwell many beings such as the Draco reptilians, Mantids, Fenris Wolf(Dogman), Crawlers(the Rake), Anunnaki giants, Nephilim giants, Derro and many many other pre-flood ancient beings. Some feed off of human energy. This is where we get the legends of hell or Tartarus from, The Underworld. And this is why caves are the places of dread for much of humanity.

[@christianadams9114]

@@Spenced86 The link is what I experienced whilst camping in national park in Australia in 1997, but my experience with this craft was much much closer with it directly overhead. So when I see comments decrying it and confidently dismissing it as CGI....I inwardly have the last laugh "knowing" these things are real. The TR3B is part of the Secret Space Program. Technology "they" acquired from The Greys in exchange for them to abduct humans. The TR3B is piloted by military personnel. Many think our "visitors" are extraterrestrial, which many are in origin, as we are too. But in fact the majority are subterrestrial.

[@ianswinford5570]

I can’t wait to see what other monsters you talk about. I would recommend the werehyena of Africa, or maybe the bunyip of Australia.

[@HypnoManSweger]

Hes already done werehyena, you should look through his library it's not very big lol

[@saturnianrings3920]

Or the Tokoleshe.

[@Tamo8]

5:34 Is Point Pleasant some kind of cryptid hotspot? Isn't this the place around where Mothman first appeared?

[@johnoneil9188]

West Virginia overall is ripe with them. The Flatwoods Monster, Mothman, devil dogs, the Grafton Monster, snallyghasters, werewolves you name it.

[@krspaceT1]

Either because of mining overuse or the moonshine

Stories of Bigfoot date back generations before that logging company. The indigenous tribes of North America all had their own names for them in their respective languages. In Washington they were called "O'Mah" or "Boss of the Mountain". The Ojibwa called them "Sabe". The Tlingit people called them "Kushtaka", and so on.

[@medi0cregameplay193]

The Tlingit people must've had a pretty big problem with bigfoot taking their kush if they named him "Kusktaka" lol

Next vid on American mythology, the thunderbird. Its the American equivalent to the worldly renowned phoenix. Lightning is a sub-element to fire, both r birds, and while the phoenix gives life to itself, the thunderbird gives life to others by summoning storms and rain to feed and nourish the land.

[@eg_manifest510]

I like how you talk about them both in the context of them being both real and fictional, because it doesn't make you look like a conspiracy nut and also keeps the story interesting. I also like how telling it this way can create interesting ways to talk about the evolution of the stories over time, and how they'd changed as more people started to hear about them

[@lucario7003]

I would so be the crazy, old neighbor lady who walks with kids to go look at something scary af and believes their every word! 🤣 Where I grew up, we had a dude called Catman who jumped on the roofs of high schooler's cars as they drive on lonely farm and woodland roads. Everybody knew someone who knew someone who was attacked by Catman and pulled from his car. I used to love to drive a carload of friends through Catman's haunts, stop the car, and turn off the lights. 😈🎃🤣

[@tiredman99]

Yeah in my hometown we called them methheads

[@user-ns4zm8qe9p]

Oh I’ve heard of the Catman

[@glennmorganfan9411]

I saw a Bigfoot when I was a kid on a family trip in Northern California. Sheepsquatch is a COMPLETELY different thing than any sort of dog. They can most closely be compared to Sasquatch. (Hence the name) They just have a more "wooly" type of hair and often are described as having horns. I have never heard them described like dogs. A giant Snapping Turtle would be a thing to see......and I can believe this one. They keep growing for as long as they live and have good conditions. Sadly partially draining the lake may have done the turtle in. The Loveland FrogMan is one of the strangest cryptids I've heard about. I'm not sure what to make of it. The Flatwoods Monster is the least likely cryptid on this whole list. ......AND YES, PLEASE DO MORE CRYPTID VIDEOS!!!!

[@MrAlmse]

I would love to see you do a small inclusion of the Squonk, a creature said to live in northern Pennsylvania. It's main attributes are its ugly appearance, being described as a large, walking b*llsack with eyes, and its constant weeping, due to itself being so disgusted by its own appearance. When cornered or feeling threatened, the Squonk can dissolve itself in its own tears to get away. Truly my spirit animal.

[@dafttool]

The last one fits an alien encounter description more than a cryptid. 🤔

[@jfitzmaurice7778]

Aliens tend to count as cryptids nowadays

[@dafttool]

@@jfitzmaurice7778 I’m thinking the classifications have always been fairly loose & overlapping. (Still love this stuff though. Don’t think my bitching & complaining means anything)

[@malikhannah4544]

[@OnlyJustCrazy]

WV resident here. The Flatwoods monster and moth man are our two most popular monsters, and locally, yes, the Braxton County monster is believed to have been an alien. In fact, it’s odd the spade headed creature was shown as organic in this video, as most depictions of it in Flatwoods itself represents it as more of an alien craft/vehicle that the actual alien commandeered. That being said, most locals know it’s nothing more than an urban legend that’s just for fun. It’s about commercialization. You would have never have heard of Flatwoods, WV or Point Pleasant, WV if it wasn’t for these legends. It puts them on the map so the cities capitalize on that even though many of the supposed sightings have been debunked.

[@mattstyles2498]

I wouldn't consider most cryptids as folklore. Most are based on real relatively recent eye witness encounters. Folklore I would say more like WENDIGO and skin walkers. Bigfoot is both in native American folklore and recent eye witness encounters. But that's just how I define them.

[@The.Nasty.]

I think the “folklore” part just relates to how old it is, or the origin… not the current view of the monster/story in our time. I guess you could say new folklore is called “urban legends”? I dunno.

I saw one of the "devil dogs" in the west Texas panhandle. It was very large and fast. All four of us saw it. It was in the field keeping pace with us as we ran down the road afraid. I don't know what would have happened if the dirt road didn't have the 2 or 3 light poles it did. The light they gave off wasn't adequate. Just enough to keep total darkness at bay. The thing made no growls or noises, only the sound of its running, and heavy breathing we could hear 30 ft. away. No foul odors either, just bright red glowing eyes that were slanted and evil-looking.

I find it interesting you brought up Demon dogs. I’ve never heard of that here in the U.S. in the country I’m from El Salvador we have our own version named “El Cadejo” these spirit dogs can be either black or white. Stories began after Spanish colonialism, but supposedly the native people of El Salvador. My ancestors told legends of shapeshifting men who sometimes turned into dogs. Nahuals. In Mexico and other countries too we have the legends of demon dogs.

[@Necrowolf81]

Every country seems to have legends of demon dogs. England, for example, has the black dogs although they are not always evil. One story I read was about a woman who was walking along by herself one night when a large black dog suddenly appeared beside her right as she saw a group of rough looking men coming her way in the distance. As the men passed her they basically told her that if not for the dog they would have.... you know..... After the men were gone the dog vanished.

You can blame my uncle for the frogmen. He lives in Loveland Ohio not far from the castle. He exposed them to some kind of green substance he brought home from an abandoned building in New York City. He says that’s what caused their growth into what they are, and yes they were normal frogs before. He can’t explain it to this day.
