Is a picture of what this woman had called a orangutan was kind of crazy because there's a video or a man is on a kayak in Florida and as he's going through the this swampy Creek bed around trees and such you can see this silhouette of what literally looks to be the identical to this picture you just can't see the face real good but you can see the rest of its body and the way it was built was literally identical

The scariest thing from all of these is the real possibility of a monkey staring through your window at night. If, in my peripheral vision, I saw a monkey staring through my window in the dead of night, I'd probably have a heart attack.

[@weedweeb9211]

This happened to me, thankfully it was during the day. I was sleeping and heard something shaking my curtains (I can't close my windows completely), groggily flipped the curtains just to see an equally surprised monkey before it ran to the verandah.

I love these non-game, semi-spooky segments! Even if photos turn out to be hoaxes, it's still entertaining to learn about their histories and get little bits of eerie vibes. I grew up reading books about this stuff.

[@EthVortexShield]

Same!

[@ShutterSnapped]

I'm similar. I'm in a position of "I want to believe." and when pressed, I mostly don't believe any of this stuff because there's never ever any sort of supporting evidence to back a lot of it up (at least with the standards of a lot of other discoveries or scientific findings). That being said, I love to read about them, I love ghost stories, and I love to hear about stories despite not necessarily being able to cross over into the believer territory. I do hold out on the possibility that one day there will be a major discovery that makes living a little bit more interesting though.

[@dysr]

It’s what makes the deep ocean so fascinating, because there actually is so much that we don’t know about it, in addition to an abundance of organisms that look fabricated.

[@KaiserMattTygore927]

I grew up watching dozens of shows about this goofy shit, so its a dose of nostalgia for me. Those fucking antenna sponges tho.

[@Jimera0]

Something that's important to note is that these photos don't have to be hoaxes to not be depicting the claimed cryptids. Photographs aren't perfect representations of reality and they only show one snapshot in time from one perspective, so it's easy to get a photo that looks like something paranormal despite it actually being something mundane. I feel like a lot of people looking at these sorts of pictures/videos get stuck thinking of them in binary terms, where it's either a genuine photo of the claimed thing, or a hoax, when in reality there tons of potential explanations for them that are neither of those things. It can get really frustrating when people fixate on stuff like "why would they lie?" as if that's the only other explanation for them other than the paranormal explanation when there are so many, many other potential explanations. They can be not lying, and it can also not be a bigfoot. Both of these things can be true.

2:15 I love how the stabilization makes it seem like Bigfoot is projecting some kind of distortion field around himself. He's about to enter warp About that Japanese wolf one. It reminded me of how it's believed that tasmanian tigers(declared extinct in 1936) may still be alive in the southern forests of Tasmania, which are very hard to access and unmonitored

[@gnbman]

Reminds me of a Mitch Hedberg bit: "I think Bigfoot _is_ blurry. It's not the photographer's fault. And that's even scarier to me, because there's a large out-of-focus monster roaming the countryside."

[@matthewfinger2381]

Thx for doing my segment. I know a lot of them were hoaxes but even those still had interesting stories behind them and they make the ones that are possibly real stand out more. I could have included more but they were either hoaxes that were too obvious (Hook island monster) or had actual dead bodies in them (tomato alien crash). There were also a ton of globster photos but I don't think Vinny and you guys would want to look at rotting chunks of meat. I might do another pack of weird things and historical occurrences along the lines of the lizard story and the meat shower.

[@dysr]

Thanks for putting this together! Curious about the tomato alien crash, as a quick google search didn't really turn up anything resembling that description.

[@matthewfinger2381]

[@milliondollarmistake]

If you're going to make another one I think the giant congo snake would be an interesting addition. Out of all the cryptids I've seen or heard about that one has always struck me as the most "realistic". There's also a great skeptic youtuber named John Michael Godier that goes over a lot of UFO/UAP stuff, old and new alike. He's concise and doesn't use and dramatization. His alien videos are basically "here's the facts, it's probably not real but it's still weird". If you need more alien stuff I'd strongly recommend checking him out.

[@enthiegavoir5955]

Fun fact about the maneless lions, one of the theories as to why they were so aggressive is that lions in the area learned to see humans as a food source because a slave trade ran through the area, and the lions ate dead slaves that were just left there.

[@TrueLadyEvilChan]

Crazy

[@poagy]

Oh.

[@brianmurphy250]

There is a theory that they had bad teeth and ate human because they were easier to chew/pierce than prey animals with tough hides. The lions on display now are much smaller now because they were originally skinned for rugs, then much later their remains were reconstructed over skeletons after being shrunk.

yooo fellow mystery hunters enjoyer 🤝 that pic also creeped me out as a kid, kinda weird how the note didnt mention that it's called the skunk ape because of how bad it smelled

[@overlookers]

The Skunk Ape photos are likely manipulated. I argue that yes- the first photo looks a lot like a black morph orangutan but it's probably a corruption of the photo. Apes don't have eyeshine and the second's underbite give the game away. These are zoomed in photos of a some New World monkey like a black lion tamarin or similar species. Taken at a zoo's nocturnal house.

Which is apparently a surviving Tasmanian tiger, escaped big cat, or a prehistoric marsupial lion, but it doesn't remotely look like any of them. Sceptics believe that it's just a model or cut-out. I agree with this reasoning, but we do get big feral cats that look like wildcats here in Australia. So much so that people routinely mistake them for escaped lynx, puma & panthers.

[@warsawpact1548]

Kosmos-955 was launched on the same day, September 20, 1977, but it was definitely not the cause of this phenomenon. First of all, Kosmos-955 was not a space station, it was a satellite. Second of all, it's existence and launch were not classified. It was reported immediately by TASS (telegraph agency of the Soviet Union) in major journalistic and scientific publications of the USSR. Third, the phenomenon was visible as much as two hours before the launch of Kosmos-955. Fourth, spacecraft are launched and travel in a northeastern direction, due to the direction of the rotation of the Earth. The phenomenon traveled in a southwestern direction. Fifth, the preliminary report for "Official Use Only" assembled by the Soviet civilian scientists of meteorology, astronomy, and physics wholeheartedly rejected the theory about Kosmos-955 being the cause. Stating reasons given above, and for the fact that the grand scope and character of the event was too great to have been caused by technical experiments involving satellites and their orbits.

[@grimmzaveri9847]

Well, didn't think I'd hear about Ol' Rip on Vinny's Cryptid stream... As wild as it sound reading it with no context, it's treated similarly to Santa in the town: The stories make no sense and are crazy, but it makes for a good mascot and as a good story to tell kids, so no one questions it... and if they do, they kinda get treated like an asshole. It's sorta like if you went to Loch Ness and started screaming about how it's all fake: You end up looking like the idiot in that situation. The whole thing can basically be summed up as "It's a small, rural town, and having a town mascot was a thing at the time." No idea why they put it in the cornerstone time capsule. Stories are sorta conflicted on it. I've heard that it just sorta climbed in before the cornerstone was put in and no one noticed... or that it was done intentionally because someone thought it'd be a "neat" thing to do. It's fairly widely reported that it did just hibernate for that long... but also it's pretty likely that someone just cracked the capsule open early and swapped it out because it'd make a good story. Most people are indifferent to it, but it's still at the court house. Or at least the custom made coffin they had made for him is. Every year, they do a whole festival around the thing, mostly as an excuse to have a town festival, do a parade, that sort of thing. For those who don't know about horned lizards, btw, they're actually pretty weird. Their blood has some toxins in it that serves as deterrent for predators... and they can shoot blood out of their eyes when threatened. So, while not a cryptid, pretty weird animal, all in all. They're considered a Threatened species, and it's pretty rare to come across one now.

Grew up with cryptics/alien pictures and videos as well; it's still one of the most entertaining things to learn about, hope he does a 2nd part of this or does famous ghost pictures next.

Fun trivia: Not only were there hyenas historically in North America, there were also lions! The American Lion, Panthera atrox, was significantly larger than their modern relatives and lived 340,000 to 12,800 years ago. Also, wooly mammoths still existed over a thousand years after the pyramids of Giza were built!

i mean we have mountain lions...

One of my biggest fears is something watching me from behind a corner. I just hate that so much. Just the idea that something THAT BIG or that imposing is intentionally hiding from you is a horrible implication.

[@giulianodenardi7654]

25:16 As a Brazilian, I have the impression that it must be slang from the Amazon region to give the nickname "holadeira" because I have no fucking idea how they got that name and it is associated with "saws". Jeremy Wade bought the idea anyway.

Ive been absolutely LOVING these segments

[@Vrikrar]

I was expecting weirder stuff then bigfoot and nessie, and it did just turn to aliens eventually, but it was still really good. I hope he does more of this because leaning back and watching really helped me unwind after a rough workday.

[@Zenikat]

I love these segments so much! this and the Strange Sounds/Anomalous signals stream were so interesting to me, i love that kind of stuff

Vinny should be a guest on creep cast he can go all out about aliens

[@pogocoop]

This was so interesting, would love another part or 3 of this.

[@Hacker_lyx]

When you're talking about the chimps staring through windows. It reminded me of this time as a kid. One night I was walking into my room, I flipped on the lights. And I saw a face looking at me through the blinds. I immediately slammed the door and ran down stairs to sleep. I didn't investigate what I saw until like a week later. It was absolutely terrifying, on top of that my room was on the second floor. It turned out, I'd stuck some sticker paper to the window. You know the kind that's left over from a sticker pack, will holes in it from the actual stickers? At some point my mom had tired to pull it off the window, but left bits of paper stuck to the window. Those bits of paper would catch light from the room and absolutely looked like a creepy little grey alien face. What makes it worse is either before or after this, I can't remember. Me and some siblings were playing Toy Story 2 on n64. Around 8pm right after sun down, so it's pretty dark out. In the same room on the second floor. We all look up at the window and see a face smiling at us. Of course we're all fairly young so we just scream at the top of our lungs and run out of the room. That one turned out to be a friend of my sister's. Who was trying to see if we were home. I guess they saw lights on, so they went into the backyard. My dad had an old ladder in the back. And they propped it up against the house, and climbed up to see if we were there. I was firmly afraid of having my blinds open in that room after those two events.

[@TheReemus22]

That's Sassy riding the Loch Ness monster

[@NotOnLand]

I used to be really into bigfoot, not a believer but interested like Vin with aliens. Then some people in my town opened a Bigfoot Museum, and I did art for them to sell. It went great for a while but their true colors started to show, and now the whole thing is ruined for me. It really sucks that something that used to bring me joy just makes me angry now.

[@kingofroses302]

These are some of my favorite Vinny videos actually.

[@andymoore8835]

This is the type of stream I’d love to see more often. I have a huge interest in cryptids and weird folktale stuff, and seeing Vinny talk about it all is super cool. He’s always loved this stuff if memory serves

[@thehunter8417]

These things are really fascinating and good art inspiration. I hope another segment like this happens so I can find out about more niche cryptids.

[@_Cetarial]

Finger? Waltuh.

[@b.j.cobbledick4914]

It feels very nostalgic to see some of these photos that i saw in books as a kid almost 30 years ago.

[@LeudieBlues]

Was hoping he would cover the Insulindian Phasmid, now I'm sad.

[@gon3302]

What in gods name are you talking about

[@jax3636]

@@gon3302 The Insulindian Phasmid went unnoticed by the first settlers and land surveyors of the Suzerain, by the soldiers of the Revolution, and the officials of the occupation. Even the Semenese islanders who came there first, but did not stay, did not see it. The phasmid stayed hidden through four forms of government and two scientific revolutions. Until it was accidentally discovered by a detective of the Citizens Militia in Revachol, district of Martinaise, March, '51.

[@selectionn]

I remember seeing one of those on the beach when I was a kid, scared the crap out of me. I think it didnt make it into this video/stream because the western government is trying to cover it up. Ive been trying to tell people about it for years now but no one listens to me

[@Ultimatebohab1990]

Hope Vinny does more of these types of streams.

[@mysticdigital5936]

This video was really fun. I like when Vinny does stuff like this or Commercial Chaos

[@shrimpus4737]

Really love these types of segments you've been doing recently, a lot of the stuff is unsettling despite the rational explanations.

[@tylervanpeursem7627]

I was watching an episode of mysteries at the museum before this and it also had the antenna like sponge lol

[@jorho]

46:38 I live near here and can confirm that little green men reside on the moorland. Tbh it just looks like a hiker bending over. Many people come to Ilkley to hike so it would make sense. The "alien's head" looks like it could actually be some kind of backpack.

[@FoxTashikata]

I just realized the weird music in the background is that cryptic shit from Portal right? It’s like an Easter egg or something if you listen to the walls. The crazy scientist. Does anyone know what I’m talking about? 😂

[@chocolate_maned_wolf]

yes, it is that music. its used in a lot of portal 2 custom maps and is by far the creepiest music i’ve heard in a game

[@viridiansignal]

It plays when you are in the room where you pick up the portal gun. The beatboxing or whatever comes in if you stay there for a long time since that is late in the sound track

[@RamblingGreek]

we need more videos like this

[@sanitytheorist8221]

I'd love to see this become a full series, these photos were interesting as hell

[@comfortzone2282]

really fun sunday stream, really hope we get this segment again soon

[@juneBug412]

what's funny about the suggestion that the black knight is just nasa space junk is that the photo people use was the one they took to visually confirm to ground control that the thermal blanket they dropped was indeed floating off into space as part of the report for having lost it. like the source of the photo is also the source for the proof that it's not alien at all, it's hilarious

[@griffyt209]

Please keep doing these! I would love to hear you read some weird cryptid wikipedias or something like that!

[@lucasm20]

Absolutely looking forward to more of these.

[@NikoAnesti]

This kind of stuff is fascinating to me, so I'd love to see more segments like this if possible, whether it's aliens/UFOs, cryptids, or just unexplained occurrences in general. There's so much weird, unsettling shit out there. Kudos to the pack maker

[@Darfk]

Love these segments Vin, great work!

[@GoatToHeal]

Really cool segment! I was hoping to see the Cooper family photo after the Jim Templeton space photo, but I imagine that would be too close to ghost territory. Was interesting to see all the sea stuff for the first time though.
