My favorite thing about the Loch Ness Monster is that in 2005, a group of MIT researchers decided to try to map the lake and hunt Nessie, but they instead found a random common toad just hanging around at 325 feet down in the water. They have no clue how he got down there, why he would have swam so far down, and it left them baffled that he could even survive such water pressure. He swam off and was never seen again.

The Kraken is something that seems so plausible to me. Squids aren't solitary, they hunt in packs of up to 20. Imagine 20 ten foot long squids writhing around your ship, their beaks tearing at its hull while hundreds of tentacles lash all around you. Easy to see how that story becomes a myth about massive tentacled monsters pulling down ships

[@MM-jc7uv]

The Kraken legend was probably just a big giant squid that sailors were unaware of at the time. It’s also common to over exaggerate/feed into the hype when retelling an encounter with something “mystical.” It’s definitely the most plausible one for sure

[@Double_Jae]

Definitely, legends of “a hundred tentacles” could easily be 15 big squiddos

[@coolmanplayz438]

The Kraken is one that's been proven to exist in that there really is a huge squid that lives in our deep oceans. Roughly 40 ft long at full grown size. They actually are solitary to my knowledge, and when they start to get old, they begin to move closer to the surface, and they can actually be found at the surface of the water just before dying. Whats even worse about them is that they have teeth in their suckers and have a beak that essentially has a tongue with teeth in it. Also, they're cannibals when times are desperate enough. The more you know.

my uncle is convinced he’s seen the dogman. he’s a very stoic and level-headed guy; he served in the us navy for many years and worked as a prison guard until his retirement so there isn’t much that phases him, but he gets genuinely afraid and hates talking about his experience with seeing it. the man, his friend, whom he was with at the time of the sighting refuses to acknowledge it. interesting stuff.

hey wendigoon, as someone who's lived in northern michigan my entire life, (and also grew up terrified of the dog man) i wanted to shed some light on why he's so popular. it isn't just that it's a spooky design. first, the dog man is only active every 7th year of a decade. second, he never, ever directly kills someone. all the references in the song of people/animals dying because it literally scares them to death. the appearance of the dog man is so blood curdlingly unnatural that it can literally make your heart stop. it's the idea that despite michigan's beautiful landscape, you can never really let your guard down or forget the unforgiving nature of... well, nature.

[@meganbrown1961]

Hi, Aussie here. I think the reason why the thylacine is on the iceberg is because although they're formally considered extinct, some people believe that they didn't completely die off and that there are still thylacines alive somewhere in the Tasmanian wilderness. Which makes them similar to more mythic cryptids like bigfoot or nessie.

[@RelativelyBest]

Funny thing about the dogman: In medieval times, people genuinely believed that people with dog heads were a thing. They were called cynocephali and showed up in a lot of bestiaries and old artwork. They weren't monsters, either: They were literally just humans, wearing clothes and having jobs and stuff, except they had canine heads. Also I think one of them was a Catholic saint, or something like that. Wild stuff.

[@lilcotorro]

Yes! Though the myth of the dogmen actually go even farther back than the middle ages. The saint you mentioned is St Christopher. Another saint named St Augustine of Hippo also briefly talked about dogmen in one of his books "City of God". A short summary of it was: "Idk if they're real or not. If they are real, we need to observe whether they qualify more as a human or animal. If they show human rationality, they should be treat as human and allowed to be baptised."

[@NickyT310]

So some byzantines mistranslated St Christopher being a Canaanite to Canine in the 300s

[@renakunisaki]

I always assumed it came from ancient Egypt and was either a misinterpreted depiction of someone wearing a wolf pelt, or a metaphor for how dogs are part of human society.

Fun fact about the Jackalope! Among cottontail rabbits, there’s something known as Shope papilloma virus, which can cause horn like growths on their heads.

I grew up in Wyoming (specifically Douglas, the hometown of the Jackalope) and the jackalope means so much to me personally. The original jackalope mount was put on display in the LaBonte hotel but it was stolen years and years ago, they never caught the guy. Other fun 'facts' include: - the current hunting season for them is only June 31st between midnight and 2am - their milk is a powerful, sought-after aphrodisiac - it's illegal to bait them with whiskey (a favorite of theirs) - they can mimic human voices, mostly as self defense you can still get hunting licenses for them at the Douglas visitor's center. there are also multiple 10+ foot tall statues of jackalopes around town

A) I just discovered this channel through the Disturbing Movie and Video game iceberg videos, and now, hearing you have a podcast with Cr1tikal, I'm most definitely checking that out. 2) Mothman was the cryptid that got me into cryptids. The other famous ones (Bigfoot, Nessie, Chupacabra, etc.) were cool, but Mothman was the one that made me go "That's fucking awesome". It's what really sold the appeal of cryptids to me. I wanna go to West Virginia just to visit Point Pleasant, and, as a Fallout fan, having him added into 76 was such a cool experience.

For the thylacine entry, it's related to cryptid topics because decades after they were thought to be extinct, people would report sightings of them fairly frequently.

[@waterandbridgesmusic]

Sightings continue in Tasmania, and Victoria / South Australia on the mainland, to this day. There's roughly 700 bodies held in collections and museums - I saw one of them today in Sydney's Australian Museum. They were fierce-looking predators. Worth noting that the most recent research has conceded that they are likely not extinct, or at least were still around in small numbers as recently as the early 2000s. Until we have clear trailcam footage or a more recent body / live specimen it will all be data and theorising, but it seems very likely that these guys are still hanging on somewhere deep in the Tasmanian wilderness.

Also, one of the Titans was a sea serpent called Tiamat (she finally makes an appearance in the comic Godzilla: Dominion).

[@nicholaslienandjaja1815]

Now I would like to see the Jersey Devil as a kaiju in the MonsterVerse (my guess is that it will have raptor-like claws, a venomous bite, and the ability to spit venom).

[@abyssofstuff8730]

as someone who grew up in Tasmania, I heard a lot of stories from my dad and his mates about post extinction sightings of the thylacine that read like any other cryptid stories. driving down highway late at night and seeing a blurry shape that the swear was one of them sort of thing. It’s sort of became a local cryptid after it officially went extinct

[@HeyJenkies]

Yes! Josh Gates (who is briefly mentioned) did an episode on his show Expedition Unknown searching for the Thylacine and there was a farmer who swore there was a whole family of them living on his property, with fairly compelling footage and everything. The “is It actually extinct?” Factor is what makes it a criptid imo

[@svenpapparoni9985]

As a current Tasmanian, I can confirm that this continues to this day. Many people suppose that there could be some left in the south west as most of this area is completely wild, with basically no human interaction

[@thirdtooth4069]

[@p-__]

I think the reason the thylacine is on the list as a cryptid is because there are those who are saying there are still sightings of them present, in the same sense that people report dinosaur cryptids. Looking forward to the series!

Also it’s pronounced thyla-seen. Lovingly: a triggered Tasmanian 😅

The thylacine is still alive in papu new guine

I came here to say this. Although there is no solid proof that they're still around, their habitat has many places to hide and there have been enough sightings for it to be possible that a small population still remains.

[@lovecraftianwalrus4490]

Excellent video, but, as an Australian I feel the need to make a few corrections about the Thylacine. Firstly, it’s pronounced “Thylaseen” secondly, the Thylacine is likely on the list, not because it’s a weird extinct animal, but because after it’s extinction there were many sightings of the creature, and even today many people still believe that there are some out there still. But aside from that, great video!

The Jersey Devil scared me so bad as a kid, mainly because there was this island level from Poptropica, an online adventure game (for those who are unfamiliar). There was an island (each island had a different story/theme) that was all about Cryptids. It had the basics like Bigfoot, Nessie, and the Chupacabra. Then, it had you go to New Jersey to find proof of the Jersey Devil. It had you wander through the woods at night until you found an old abandoned house. You walked through the house, found nothing, but as you were leaving, a figure of the Jersey Devil staring at you through the window before you followed it outside and it flew off. All this to say that this cartoony picture of the Jersey Devil scared the shit out of child me, as well as many others my age 😂. It was my first introduction into cryptozoology and the Jersey Devil, and now, like 10+ years later, I still remember it fondly
