I'm doing some research on north american cryptids, and struggling to find much outside the usual lot (Dover Demon, Bigfoot, Jersey Devil, etc)Anyone got any interesting stuff local to their region/state that they can share stories about? Either personal encounters, or just general details of them that I can use for reference later.Sources like local news papers and such would be awesome.
>>42335844Ask GPT or another LLM and use that as your starting point, I am not kidding. You will get more nuanced answers here, but you will have to scrounge through the larps, and a lot of writings about North American cryptids have nearly become lost to time.>Sliderock Bolter in the South-West, giant mountain worm creature.>Hidebehind, Slenderman for 19th century lumberjacks.>Squonk, a small repulsive creature that constantly cries and turns into water if captured [spoiler]this one is believable desu[/spoiler]>Wampus Cat, six-legged "cat" reaching 14 feet in length. [spoiler]i don't think this is far fetched either[/spoiler]>Agropelter, Bigfoot with extremely long arms and a passion for throwing logs at people.>Ozark Howler, a real life Yao Guai in the Great Lakes region.These are the first six results that I got, and there's a lot more detailed writings on each of them if you google around for long enough.
I forgot that spoilers don't work in greentext format. Kill me.
