>>42473541TLC used to have Alien Invasion week and I temper watching a doc about the Chupacabra and other encounters with aliens and creatures in Latin America. It spooped the fug outta me. There was also an Art Bell interview with a guy claiming to know a guy who shot a chupacabra and it was pretty interesting.

>>42473541Chupacabra isn’t real it was dumb turd worlders mistaking normal predation as something supernatural. >>42474243
>>42473541>“ A deputy Sheriff responded to a call from a teen girl in a house in a rural area of the County he was working in. Her parents were in town, it was night, and she was having a sleep over. There were several teen girls alone in the two story house. Girl told 911 operator someone was upstairs tearing up the house. Responding officer went up to investigate. Saw a big hairy biped trashing a room. It dashed to an adjoining room and fled through a window. He said it looked mean and had red eyes. He took the girls out to his patrol vehicle, and went in foot pursuit of the animal. He could hear it running, and growling through the woods. He soon realized it had led him into an open area he was not comfortable with, and he had told no one of his location. He went back to his vehicle. The parents arrived while he was interviewing the girls. He returned the following day with another deputy. Upon inspection of the side of the house he noted huge gouges taken out of the siding where the animal had climbed up to the second floor to gain entry through a window. He walked toward the woods and could feel it watching him. It also became vocal, as if it were trying to lure him into the woods. He left and never heard any more reports from that family.”I like how some Bigfoot encounters they seem benevolent, but there’s others where it’s very aggressive. I also like the ape canyon incident.
>>42474629There was some story of a Bigfoot raping someone to death. I can’t remember the source but they found a woman split in half and a guy twisted like a pretzel. The eerie part was the guy had his ass torn open.
>>42474636I have a couple of books like Unexplained by Jerome Clark and Unexplained Mysteries of the Twentieth Century. There was a story in one of them where a Russian guy could see a “hairy biped” with red glowing eyes looking at him from the edge of the woods. It really creeped me out.
>>42473541the Jersey Devil was kinda cool
>>42473541
>>42473541When I was a kid, I was obsessed with Springheel Jack. It's especially interesting as a cryptid because there are a lot of similar beings (person-ish, glowing eyes, spits blue flames, has light on chest, jumps or flies around) and there are sightings from as recently as the 90s.
>>42473541So this is kinda weird. I live in PA near pittsburgh. Before we even started dating, my now-wife told me about a "fuzzy alligator" that her and her uncle saw slip into the storm drain at the bottom of our street. Now I believe a lot of things but I was sure she was just trying to fuck with me.After we started dating and I moved in with her, I come home from a grocery run. Get out of car, pick up the grocery bags, turn to my left to walk to the house. And there at the bottom of the street was a God damn alligator. It was covered in what looked like creamy white/beige fur. Walked with splayed legs across the street and went down the storm drain. Happened too fast for me to set the groceries down and grab my phone.Sometime later they resurfaced the road and when they did that they sealed off the storm drain the thing went down. There is a pretty decent sized creek that runs through the town, and a sizable bit of forest behind our street. Apparently when my wife was younger there was a guy at the bottom of this street who had pet gator or crocodile that he kept in an outdoor pen, it did escape at one point but the cops confiscated it. Maybe it had babies and they are in the sewer? That sounds retarded. But why is it furry? Anyway I know this sounds like I'm bullshitting but I definitely saw Something that looked like a alligator.A few miles down the road, a bunch of kids saw a green reptilian creature. One kid grappled with it but it escaped down a storm drain as well. I think this was back in the mid 80s. Attaching a pic of a newspaper article.
>>42475218Also, allegedly a young girl was killed by the "bogeyman" down the road from me.
>>42475100Springheeled jack was interesting. Another entity that was attacking people was the “Mad Gasser of Mattoon”. It was waived off as hysteria, but there were at least 12 people attacked by a man releasing mysterious gas that would paralyze and cause vomiting temporary.
I like the Lizard Man. Most of the sightings are actually a bigfoot/boggy creek creature, but a few are actually of a lizard man. So it's like a double cryptid.
>>42473541i was in the usaf and stationed at fairchild afb as an mp. some of our security posts were remote and 12 hour shifts. there was a kid names jones who was the most 10-8 troop on the planet. had won commendations while on deployment, was recognized by the commander as the next best thing. jones was the man.which made it weird when i went to check on him during the shift and he wasn't in his post and it was snowing. wth? i look for him - the kid is in a tree. i tell him to come down and starts yelling at me to get back in the truck where its safe. whatever. get down here kid. it took me half an hour but i got him out of the tree and into the guard shack with the heater and some coffee. i sat with him for an hour before he haltingly told me what happened.jones was sitting in his shack, which has windows on every wall to observe the surrounding forest and road. he said he was sitting reading when he heard a noise from behind him. he turned and standing next to the window was a goat man. he was dumbstruck as it screeched at him and started rocking the shack back and forth, which made him run away and up a tree to escape. i told jones not to tell anyone that story because people would say he was crazy. three days later, jones got a separation from the air force and vanished. we went to his off base apartment and he'd moved out. years later we found out he'd moved to arizona where there were no forests.something scared the crap out of that kid or the solitude on post made him crazy.
>>42478095There’s actually a lot of Forrest in AZ.-t. Arizona native
>>42475031I have never seen that pic before
>>42474629it was just the father of the house trying to get some teenage puss.

As I've travelled around South America (Southern Cone and the Andean region), I like the cryptids (or mere legends) that the locals told me about. Some of them were just trying to impress a tourist, but the older folks really looked like they believed in them, even speaking with fear. A few of them were just copies of old legends from Spain (where I'm from), but they had pretty unique ones. Werejaguar skinwalkers, bigoot-adjacent bearmen, carnivorous arboreal hobbits, a whole society of proto-Epsteinian wizards that converted children into monsters through torture, an anthropophage mule with the face of a woman etc. What really stuck with me were the amount of customs and details all them had. Made them felt more real. I can go on with the details if anyone is interested
>>42473541IMB4 cool story broI was in an attack and I thing that shit follows me.I used to live in a small country in southern Chile in 2003. I was working in a local news, but just driving and taking the journalist into places. I remember that was the first half of that year when we were sended to one farm where the chupacabras attacked. Because bad logistic we arrived too late in the afternon, so we take some bad photos of the place. (I don't believe in that shit in that moment, maybe was a wild dog or feral cat or something like that). The place was a nightmare with the chickens mauled and splattered all over the place, and not a single blood. We even take one of the corpses and open it. Nothing.The few hours with daylight we walk all over the place searching for footprints, blood or something that can be useful, but nothing. I find some of the corpses have a circular hole in the neck but nothing more.We packaged the car and try to leave, but in the night this region it's particullary dangerous because angry natives, so we decided to ask the farmers if we can stay in the car by night inside his property.Maybe 2 or 3 AM I leave the car to pee and I heard some noises coming from dry bushes. I take my old indestructible phone and put the flashlight and I swear to God I see something like the skin of a lizard, but in this country there's no lizards this big. It was nearly 1 meter of tall (3 and something more Ft.) and have bright dark skin like a lizard. I can't see anything like arms or tails or a head because the creature move too fast. I take a rock and lauch it to whrever the hell was that thing and run back to the car.At daylight we drive like hell back to the city just to found that the people of the farm again called the news because some more chickens were mauled that night
>>42474629There’s a lot of stories of violent Bigfoot like creatures. The Bigfoot of the Pacific Northwest seems to less aggressive compared to the ones in Texas or the Midwest. In Arizona our “Bigfoot” is the Mogollon Monster, which is said to be very aggressive, decapitates wildlife and will raid campsites. I wonder what causes this?
>>42475284More like mad brapper of Brampton amirite?
>>42475218>>42475234Where's the second halves of the articles dammit? Also, sounds like either a prank of it rolled in something that stuck to it.>>42479635a whole society of proto-Epsteinian wizards that converted children into monsters through torture,Brujas and invuche
>>42480639Fucked up the quote.
>>42479635there was a Brazilanon a while back talking about the chupa-chupa, and it sounded interesting. It was somehow related to UFOs and some military operations they had going on in the 80s>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opera%C3%A7%C3%A3o_Prato
>>42480639>Where's the second halves of the articles dammit?Shit take it easy. Wasn't expecting anyone to give a shit.
>>42480623>>42482845All I have are screenshots from old newspapers. Not sure where I found them.
>>42482856
>>42482864This is the last one I have
>>42474636>the eerie part for Anon isn't the rest of the story, but the guy having his anus thoroughly probed by BBC (Big Bigfoot Cock)Having your priorities in good order, matey.
>>42475031A render of a fallout deathclaw lmao
>>42475234Remember that press back then, very unlike the tabloids of today, printed obviously outrageous articles like this which were meant as a joke, as it was expected from the reader to understand the joke article. If this really happened at all, this would have far more information included, not to mention it would be a big thing that newspapers would kill each other over having exclusivity. Seriously? An old "witch-like" figure making a prophecy about a fucking literal "boogieman" that will get you if you enter a dark room, no matter which one it might be? Every kid has heard a story involving some kind of a "boogieman". That after all those years there are people taking those old, joke article snippets as something real is proof to me how the average IQ has fallen. Can't make a joke anymore or some schizo will believe there's Freddy Krueger manifesting right when you least expect it. Let me guess, "Candyman" was a movie based on facts too, right? Or that story about a 11 yo nelson holding an alien creature of some sort. Not to mention hairy alligators living in the sewers. These are good creepypasta material, but that's all. At least don't pretend "it's 100% true I swear on me mom" if you have no proof of any kind at all. Just admit it's a nice, little idea you've been working on and are looking for feedback.
>Wendigo>ama
>>42483728>Not to mention hairy alligators living in the sewers. These are good creepypasta material, but that's all.Look bud. I wish I had my phone in my hand set to record for the 3 to 5 seconds i saw this thing. It looked like an alligator. Had the legs splayed out walking all gay like they do. And it looked, again, from a distance, I was maybe 15 to 20 car lengths away from it, like it was covered in cream colored fur. I have no idea if it was a alligator, or some kid playing a prank. Or the fucking ghost of the alligator that the guy at the bottom of the hill owned. This is pittsburgh. It's too cold for an alligator to survive here long outside. Someone I told this story too said maybe it was something like a mink or a stoat? It could have been a weird fucked up dog. I don't know. I saw it. My wife and her uncle saw it years before I did. I'm not making it up. I'd like to think if I was "making a creepypasta" I could come up with something better than a fuzzy alligator. I know the bar is low. I've read "Jeff the Killer." I once wrote a story about a sentient slime mold living in the basement that used a doll as a lure to bring people to it to eat. Definitely better than a fucking fur bearing gator. And on another note. There HAVE BEEN alligators loose in the rivers here:https://pittsburgh.citycast.fm/urban-almanac/pittsburgh-weird-history-alligators-on-the-loose
