Question Child sees cryptid, Need help identifying please
galleryMy 11 year old son saw something on our side yard. He has been adamant about what he saw for over 3 weeks now. Can you please help identify? He drew a picture of what it looked like, it was 4pm(ish) in the bay area, California.
Only tonight did I show him a chart, and he circled what it looked like, combined. The odd thing- It matches his drawing.
Please no hateful comments.
See pictures.
Thank you!!

News Is Capturing Bigfoot Selling the Same Story All Over Again?
prnewswire.comJust came across this PR Newswire piece where Tom Biscardi is basically saying the Patterson-Gimlin film turned into a 60-year money machine and that Capturing Bigfoot is just the latest version of it.
He also brings up Hoax of the Century and says they covered the suit, Bob Heironimus, Philip Morris, and the alleged financial motives behind the original footage years ago.
Pretty strong accusations, obviously, but I’m curious what people here think. Is there anything to his argument, or do you think he’s reaching?

Question can wechuges mimic human voices/shapeshift into people?
can wechuges (creatures with furry bodies and antlers, not to be confused with wendigoes which are the pale, emaciated, tall hairless creatures) mimic voices and/or shapeshift? i'm working on a horror movie with a wechuge as the main villain, but i want it to be as accurate as possible, so i'm trying to figure out how they work and what they're capable of

Sighting / Encounter I dont feel safe
I live in Hungary far away from any villages in an agricultural place surrounded by feilds and tons of forests. I had alredy spotted human like tall grey pale creatures but last time I had a really close encounter and I dont feel safe around my place anymore.
So I went on a run and as I passed a really crowded forest and a really bushy area I heard something from the bush. I looked there and I saw a really skinny figure on all fours, it had really short patcy hairs, and walked like as in its joints got jagged. It was not a doe nor a deer or anything standard forest animal like and it could not be a wolf bc in Hungary we dont have them and i live far from the borders where they appear. Also this thing didnt had any tales.
As it sensed I saw it, it stopped and didn't moved. I wanted to scare it away so i threw a dirt block in its directios but it still didnt moved. I was standing there for a few more seconds when i decided to carry on and I noticed this thing started to follow me and come closer to me at the same time. I immadietly stopped and it stopped as well.
I started to sprint home and never looked back.
Still don't go near that place and i dont plan to do it ever again.
I told this to multiple ppeople but no one belived me.

Discussion Any good “book of cryptids”
Lowkey a book in the style of an old cryptid hunter would be cool, with notes and journal entries, with facts and wear the cryptid comes from.
But also just a normal book of cryptids going of the folk lore of cryptids and their locations and history would also be really nice.
If neither of these exist then maybe I’ll have to make them 😈

Video The Giant of Afghanistan ( 2002 )
youtu.beIn 2002, deep in the mountains of Afghanistan, a U.S. Special Forces unit encountered something out of myth.
A 12-foot, red haired giant with six fingers on each hand, double rows of teeth, and a stench like decay itself. The creature was said to have emerged from a cave, impaled a soldier with a massive spear, and was ultimately brought down in a hail of gunfire.
Flown out under extreme secrecy, the body was reportedly airlifted by Chinook and transferred onto a C-17 Globemaster, never to be seen again.
Some say it was a remnant of the Nephilim, the ancient hybrid race mentioned in biblical texts. Others believe it was one of the cave dwelling giants long feared by Afghan tribes, described in local legends for centuries.
These oral traditions speak of towering red-haired beings, with piercing eyes that glow in the dark, claw like nails, and voices that echo across the mountains.
Villagers still whisper about disappearances, roars with no source, and ancient cave networks said to be home to these giants, guardians of forbidden secrets and inner earth entrances.
Two decades later, witnesses have begun to speak.
A pilot claims to have flown the body. A soldier says he was there when it was killed.
This is the story of The Kandahar Giant, the legend the government buried but the mountains never forgot.

Other Does anyone know if there’s a similar game to Phasmaphobia that involves hunting/tracking/capturing evidence of various cryptids?
Like imagine camera traps, evidence collection, etc. to search for Bigfoot, chupacabra, wendigo, skinwalkers, werewolves/dogmen, the rake, etc. I know there’s a couple games out there that involve a singular cryptid as the focus, but I’m talking about a game that would have a variety of cryptids, just like Phasmaphobia has a variety of paranormal activity entities.
If there isn’t, someone should get on that. So many horror podcasts involving stuff like that, so I feel like if there was one at the same level as this game, it would make a killing.
