[@ChocoboProduction]

@Sam McConnich That is also true. We are talking about ancient greek myths, where Athena bursts forth from Zeus' forehead as an adult and in full armor. Just because Pegasus came from Medusa's neck does not mean he cannot be Poseidon's child. :D Also, ancient Greece had no real "canon" about what was the agreed upon version of any given myth. Therefore you end up with A LOT of different, conflicting and contradictory versions.^^

Thank you for covering one of my favourite, and most-feared legends..! In becoming older and more experienced (more than me as a child anyway), few things really unsettle me anymore. This is one of them. It’s aura of pestilence and the harsh aspects of winter, like hunger and mildew are already thoroughly unpleasant, but what really makes my skin crawl is it’s appearance..! It is twisted beyond belief, unpleasant, almost sickly. And I imagine its movements as fidgety and mangled (I mean, just look at its head rolling around..!). Oh, and didn’t you say it screeches..? Delightful… (I was tempted to as if this was RWBY, but I thought let’s keep this interesting)

[@discordfan6532]

I remembered this monster from RWBY. Its scream and movements were terrifying. 😄 Cool to see where they got the inspiration from.

Then, you have a pocketknife for other critters (possibly with a little silver inlaid somewhere, for when you run into lycanthropes?), and maybe an iron nail in case of Fae. The bottle of water kept separate for drinking would also serve as a Nuckelavee deterrent. Yes, I have put way too much thought into the logic of this.

How have I never seen this channel before???? I love cryptozoology! I even have my own unexplainable encounter, it happened in Arizona. I've tried researching Arizona cryptids but I haven't found much. My story: So basically I was on a road trip to the Grand Canyon with my parents. I've always wanted to go to Roswell to UFO hunt. We stopped there for like two days and on the second we drove out of town into the middle of nowhere and pulled off into an unlit parking lot in front of a farming store. My mom said it was cold and stayed in the vehicle but my dad and I laid down and stared up at the sky. We didn't see much other than shooting stars but it's what didn't happen to be in the sky that night that shocked us. The first strange thing that happened was that we suddenly got hit with the smell of popcorn, my dad and I laughed it off as being weird. Keep in mind that we were in a pitch black parking lot in the middle of nowhere. So we laughed it off but then we heard something strange, you know that sound that glass makes when you wipe it with a wet rag? Yeah we heard that. When we first heard it I thought my mom was in the vehicle wiping the windshield for some reason. Then when we heard it the second time I sat up like "what is she doing in there??" That's when the sound suddenly went from being near the vehicle, which was a decent distance from us, to RIGHT BEHIND US. IT WAS GETTING CLOSE AND FAST. I have never ran that fast in my life and I practically ripped the door of the vehicle screaming "HURRY GET IN!" after we got back in the vehicle my mom was like "WHAT!? WHAT'S HAPPENING!?" We told her and she said that she heard it too from inside the vehicle but she though it was us messing around. We ended up looping around the parking lot and the back of the building with the headlights on but we didn't see anything. TO THIS DAY I wish that I had recorded it. So yeah, we were looking for UFO'S but found something else instead. I kinda wish that I had seen what was making those noises but at the same time I'm kinda glad I didn't. Also it was during the dry season so all the surrounding grass was dry and crunchy and when the noise went from the vehicle to being behind us, we didn't hear anything in between, no foot steps no nothing. Almost as if the noise just teleported.

@Storied Hello lassie hows yer good sel? a hope a find ye well wumin. I really love your channel and your content it's very well done, great stuff. water has been used for hundreds of years if not thousand's in many cultures, religious faiths and practices by priest's in cleansing rituals etc. water is still used today to cleanse the body (washing & bathing) as well as anything else you may want to clean. water truly dose have a somewhat magical cleansing property although explainable by science. it can also change form from a liquid to a solid (Ice) to a gas there's nothing else like quite water. As we sometimes say in Scotland... "Lang may your lum reek & a wee moose never leave yer cupboard wae a tear in it's eye" many blessing tae ye good lass, take gid care ae yer self n be safe oot there Bye fur noo :)

I'm screeming internally. I never heard of this one and i'm so excited. I really need to lool into scottish folklore *-*

[@Hwi-joon]

I wish you would do about Pocong and Puntianak/Kuntilanak for your next Monstrum stories. These monsters are from Malaysia and Indonesia. Oh and don't forget the Gendurowo as well, I would love to know their stories and histories.

[@williammcnear3462]

Ah, this, THIS, is why I watch Monstrum. Absurd monsters that I can freak people out with and use for writing material.

[@youellswinney1964]

I still want to see this one show up in a Hellboy comic.

[@Boredandscrolling]

This is incredibly interesting. I only live an hour from John O' Groats and worked with many people from Orkney, and have neighbours from there, but had never heard of this!

[@spambotful]

Nobody Scottish seems to, did they just make it up!?

[@Boredandscrolling]

@@spambotful honestly would not even be entirely surprised at this point. I cannot believe I'd never heard of it until now!

[@anonb4632]

@@Boredandscrolling Old Orkney folklore. It's pretty shocking how little Scots know about their own country. You can thank the education system and BBC for that. Also in areas where Gaelic dies out, or Norn (in Orkney and Shetland), the folklore evaporates quickly. A lot of these areas are now full of English who also don't have a clue about this stuff or get it horribly wrong when they try to research it.

[@Boredandscrolling]

@@anonb4632 Yeahhhh I'm definitely willing to blame the education system over English people migrating North though, as a victim of the SNPs education system myself it never ceases to amazing me how people who call themselves ScotNats will go to amazing lengths to destroy our education system. I suppose thats probably why the islands want independence from Scotland- they're sick of the Holyrood government. Honestly can't blame them and think the Highlands in general should go the same way. Holyrood absolutely neglects us in the exact same way they claim they must exist because Westminster neglects Scotland.

[@anonb4632]

@@Boredandscrolling Nah, nothing to do with the SNP. Thirty years ago more schools in Edinburgh taught ancient Greek than Gaelic. The only problem with that is that it was way before the SNP had a sniff at power and those schools tended to be private. Large chunks of rural Scotland are now mostly English and has been for years. That's down to regional differences in house prices. For what it's worth most of the Scots who move to Dubai or Cyprus or wherever make little effort to learn about local traditions. Some of them don't even learn the language either.
