- Our culture and mythology is littered with unknown creatures and monsters, known as cryptids. While most are misidentified animals or tall tales, there are some that could actually exist. Here are 5 of them.

The Orang Pendek is a human-like primate thought to exist in Indonesia with a strangely human face - thought to possibly be a new species of orangutan.
The Nunda is a large cat species thought to live in Tanzania. It was blamed for a series of deaths in the 1920s.
The Dobhar-chú is a predatory otter-like sea creature from Ireland primarily around Sraheens Lough in County Mayo.
The Chupacabra is famous at this point for raiding livestock in the Southwest US and Mexico. Chupacabra means "Goat Sucker" in Spanish.
The Acurinis are thought to be an uncontacted tribe in the Amazon. What makes them different is they apparently have a very out of place European look to them. Their possible existence spawned many legends of a lost tribe.

I once saw a BMW driver using turn signals... Nobody believes me to this day
Look, I believe in bigfoot, aliens, leprechauns, fairies, witches, the moth man, the loch ness monster, the chupacabra, vampires, demons, angels, spirits, speaking trees and midgets.
Get the hell out of here with your BMW signaling before a turn... I can call bullshit from afar!!!
Too real, even in Europe. :-)
EDIT: Or should I say too unreal. You get the point. :-)
You lie!
It was probably my mom, 20 some odd years ago.
@@rinpaisys you posted something about your mother in the YT comment section.
I cannot work out if you are really brave or really stupid.
Saw this on Reddit: "If electric eels went extinct 1000 years ago we'd probably think they were just folk lore."
Except we'd find remains of them.
@@fomalhaut_the_great Don't ruin the dream.
I think like that about a octopus they look like aliens😂
@@fomalhaut_the_great but what are the chances we'd know they shocked people with electricity? Maybe the dinosaurs were all huge walking tazers and the biggest ones had the best buzz and that's why they grew so big? EH?
Shocking stuff
My favorite thing about the Orang Pendek
is that according to legend it abducts children and tries to get the children to teach them to cook
I wanna walk like you talk like you oooooo shobeedoobop
Short people amirite
Totally thought you were talking about the ourang medan lol
Sounds like a pokemon
"You hooman. I see hooman cook. Teach me cook"
When I was a kid, there were these two bald eagles that would build a nest every year near the river by my grandparents house.
Grandpa called the wildlife people (I don't know who exactly),they said he must be mistaken as they were extinct where we live. He sent them photos and they still said it couldn't be.
Over the years many people, including a forest ranger and a newspaper reporter called in their sightings and sent in pictures. Finally, after about 15 years some scientist guy was down there studying the fish in the river and "discovered" the family of eagles. Now, it's official,what was already common knowledge. There are bald eagles near many of the lakes and rivers in my county.
I'm basically trying to say that just because the "right" people haven't seen something doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
Very true, and awesome story by the way.
It’s very annoying when the words of those “unqualified” are ignored because of that misplaced trust. If only things were more face value
@@jacobstanglin3085 yeah I dont think the world is currently at a lack of people believing unqualified people right now
I don't know about where you live, but I'm generally under the impression that the scientific community is more interested in the findings of 'citizen science' than they have been in recent decades.
Very well said!
When you mentioned how many in a species are needed to make it viable, you reminded me of the Northern Elephant Seals. They were down to less that 100 left and are now over 160,000 strong.
Way to go!!
I makes me wonder how long-term our current breeds of dogs are viable. We're already seeing genetic diseases because of inbreeding in the most popular breeds, especially in show dogs.
@@lyreparadox I agree.
guess zeus switched to animals, eh?
@@Ratisha_Official I didn't know that. Cool fact. Thanks for sharing 👍
to be fair I've lived in the woods all my life and never found any type of bear remains
did you find staircases tho? saw a video on spooky stairs leading nowhere found it the woods
Other people have seen dead bears. But a dead bear isn't going viral. If anyone had seen a dead yeti you'd see the video within hours.
I've seen 2 live mountain lions, one dead one in a water tank and zero bear remains. Seen lots of live bears. No bigfoots. No tracks. But still would not be surprised if real evidence of their existance turned up. The wilderness is vast especially when you hit Canada. And have to admit that the patty film is still very compelling.
Nekogami-Crystal yeah it’s said you should never go up them
Nekogami-Crystal wait I read a story talking about those in nosleep on Reddit (fiction stories told like reality). I didn’t know the staircase thing is a real thing 😮 now I know what I’m gonna search for after done watching this
Interesting fact about large cats... If they have the voice box to roar, they can't purr... And vice versa.
So that little bit about that cryptid feline seems to pan out.
nice to know...sad thing i would love to hear a lion purr :/
@@danielchoritz1903 Me too
Useful information! Thank you!
I’ve had contact with several tame puma. They scream rather than roar and have a loud, gravelly purr. That startles a lot of people when they first visit one.
Cheetahs are a good example. They're massive but sound exactly like housecats
I'm way behind to do this but I do know of a really interesting explanation for several crypids: Old old folklore. As in Ice Age old. It sounds a little crazy but we actually have instances of stories making it from that far back: the aboriginal people of Australia actually have stories documenting a rise in sea levels about 20,000 years ago. There's also a story that I believe is Inuit about the king bear/ weasel bear: A massive polar bear that destroyed a village. We thought it was just a myth for a long time, and then remains of an animal fitting its description were found confirming the story.
For an example from the list the Orang Pendek sounds a lot like Homo Florensis, a short hominid native to Indonesia that overlaps with modern humans!
It obviously doesn't catch everything but I think that it's an interesting idea to consider! Ice age creatures get STRANGE.
I think you'd like this video then! It's about the Ice Age Hellhound, the (possibly?) oldest myth. It's been on my to-watch list so I don't know anything more than that rn lol

This reminds me of a theory I have heard about the human fear of dragons and scorpions. The first humans were around during the time of the last dinosaur-like creatures. So early humans had to be careful not to be eaten by "dragons." There was a prehistoric animal called the sea scorpion. Its ecological niche was sort of like the alligator. Early humans would go down to the edge of the water and be grabbed and pulled in by the sea scorpions! So through genetic instincts and through folklore passed down for a million years, modern people are still scared when they see the shape of a dragon or scorpion.
@@davidbrasher3595 Bullshit!
Sea scorpions lived way before the first mammals existed (and were gone the time they finally did turn up), that is even before the arrival of dinosaurs!
In fact, sea scorpions could have been amongst the first creatures to go on dry land!
So far before pthipthalik - the fish/ampibium like creature that ventured on to the new environment and ultimately become ancestor of us all!
The movie you described will get 12% on rotten tomatoes
If you add hot woman with skimpy clothes ratings would go to 20%
I still enjoy those 12% movies. This would be a better Amazon series than a movie
Which means it would actually be a good movie. I hardly ever agree woth rotten tomatoes reviews.
Add an ancient warlock casting a spell on the boys ancestor, making it a family-curse. Raising it to 22%
%12 from critics and %98 from the audience
There is no such thing as a platypus. Those are duck puppies.
*duck puppies with beaver tails
*and sweat milk
*and lay eggs

Hahaha!!!!
the Palatpus is a Magical Creature, that likes Shiny Objects and likes to steal them.
*and calls those shiny things, "Precious"
*and responds to the name, "Golem"
That, is wonderfully warped.
I think one of the reasons we’re so interested in Cryptides is because we actually know so much now. That nothing really surprises us anymore, and we’re secretly hoping/wanting to be amazed by something if not by anything at all.
i think a very large part of why cryptids are so pervasive is a lot simpler: scammers. There is easy money in it so people perpetuate the myths to sell things. Then human psychology takes over and folks make it part of their personality to be more tribal/part of a group.
At least in my experience here in the PNW, the folks that "believe" in bigfoot make it a large part of their outfacing personality. They have stickers on their cars, they post about it on social media, they watch the history channel all day and repeat what they hear. They're now part of a community of "enlightened" believers. When in reality they're just being scammed into buying merchandise or "research".
Your film idea is basically Harry and the Hendersons meets Teen Wolf.
Exactly my thought xD
Harry and the Handersons was great though
Or Son of Bigfoot.
So what you're telling me is when my dad left for milk he was really just turning into a bigfoot?
Um
Yeah, sure. He turned into a Bigfoot….
He had to go to a very special store in the pacific northwest. The only one that sells a very specific type of milk and cigarettes.
I bleached your father
@@RM-jb1wo ain’t no way someone named Ross gonna do that
Maybe
The most elusive cryptid is my girlfriend. Some even say she doesn’t exist.
illusive
Troll King ...let’s pretend we didn’t see anything...
Dillon Qaphsiel she’s been sighted at another school
Dillon Qaphsiel: and we don't know her because she lives in Canada. :)
Mine is like the square root of -100. A solid 10, but also imaginary.
I once read a story about a hairless red fox that had terrible mange being sighted in an area and called a chupacabra by locals. Someone caught it and it was identified as a fox and treated for the terrible skin condition. So the chupacabra thing being a canid with mange is definitely plausible.
There was a legend in eastern England about a giant black dog that attacked a church. I think it was called a Black Schuck. Apparently they recently found a dog skeleton about the size of a horse by the church.
Do you have a link for that, dmaster?
DUDE for real? Know what search words I gotta use to google that shit? That’s nuts
@@HavianEla Black Shuck remains - the entire East of England has various legends, it may even originate from Viking settlers in the region
"Oh they're stockbrokers."
You win, eat my like.
Where are all the Bigfoot bones? I heard a retired forest ranger from British Columbia say that he had never found bear bones. The fact is bones don't last very long, usually because they get eaten by mice and other little creatures. Not saying Bigfoot exists, just that not finding bones doesn't man anything.
yep best thing to do if you kill someone is ditch their body in a gully , fair distance from and natural path people could travel be all gone in a few weeks, not gonna say how i know that lol
@@glenc661 I'd still be worried the body would float or wash up somewhere populated. I'd take the time to bury them. And I mean deep, not just where a coyote could dig it up and a hunter discover a skull (apparently coyotes tend to bite at the neck and pop heads of dead migrants off and run away with them for a quick meal.) If you get tired digging the hole, think about how long you'll be sitting in prison regretting your laziness. As long as the recently disturbed ground remains unnoticed in whatever remote area you choose. I wonder how many missing people were just buried remotely; in true crime shows murder victims are discovered a shallow or nonexistent grave. My friend used to deal weed and once we found multiple partial sets of human teeth stuffed inside the bricks of pot. I wonder if they were the only remains left if you disposed of a body on a pig farm or dissolved it in acid Breaking Bad style. Maybe some cartel member got creative?
@@glenc661 Eating the body is the only way to be sure and saves on grocery bills, hic
A scientist set up an experiment of how long a dead deer would last, it was days. I live in the rural Northwest, spent my whole life in the woods and I have never scene remains of a cougar, bobcat, lynx, wolf, or bear.
If bones are not eaten by animals or bugs they will be buried by natural erosion and leaves etc in a few years .Throw some fake plastic halloween skeleton bones out in the woods somewhere and come back after 5 years they will be buried .
Lol, I love cryptozoology, when I was a kid all I wanted was to make a living looking for cryptids, and giant squids didn't really help that obsession.
I must use “squatchy” in all my future conversations
I don'T know dude, sounds kind of squatchy
5:34 On the island of Flores in Indonesia, remains were found of a 3'7" humanoid. Named "Homo floresiensis." So it's certainly plausible that these small humanoids lived in the past and even survive today (as some sightings continue).
That would b awesome
That’s pretty gay my dude
Ahh yes my ancestors
It's interesting that the Indonesian word for people is "orang" and the word for forest is "hutan", thus we have the word orangutan, or orang hutan, "people of the forest"
Pak De Homo Flores was pretty arboreal it’s assumed. If not arboreal they must have lived underground or in caves.
"...let nobody believe you in the comments!"
Damnit, I love this show.
You: 4 words into a bigfoot movie pitch
Me: stop digging you already struck oil!
I was driving home one winter night in southern Ontario, Canada. Yes it was snowing and visibility was compromised, but it wasn't a raging snowstorm, just lots of pretty white flakes straight down. I saw an animal coming out of the field on my right and it was tan colored, so I thought "deer" and slowed my car in case it crossed the road. When it hit the road maybe 6 meters in front of my car it was about the size of a golden retriever and moved just like a cat with a long solid tail. It disappeared into a stand of trees on the opposite side of the road and never looked my way. I sat there for a minute thinking that wasn't a deer or a dog. I think it was a cougar, but they are no longer supposed to reside in southern Canada. I guess this one never got the memo.
They recently found snow leopards travel long distances between mountain chains. Perhaps cougars sometimes travel too.
Hey! I'm from Paraguay! Funny thing about the Ache is that early anthropologists thought they were descendants of the Vikings. That theory was supported by some rare engravings found in the Jasuka Venda archeology site. The engravings were found to be something totally different and the Ache origins still remains a mystery (they are from the Guarani family but their language has some words that aren't Guarani in origin and that proved very hard to trace). A sad fact about the Ache is that they were legally hunted in here, sanctioned by the state in the early days of the expansion not many years ago.
Hey in America they found Irish ogum engravings bt the weird thing is that there's an Irish myth that tells of a monk who set of for a new land with 11 other monks when he returned he described floating pillars of crystal and an island of blacksmiths throwing molten rocks at them now the crystal pillars are icebergs and the island of blacksniths was Iceland and then in the 00s a man sailed from America to Ireland using the route in a traditional Irish dugout
There may be another group of whites who made it to the Americas: part of the Olmecs. They left imagery of blonde-bearded whites along with round-headed West African blacks. I'd love to type about it, but I'm going to be in pain if I don't stop typing so maybe see my other comment for some more details & hooks.
The latest thinking about the Loch Ness monster is that it's a giant eel. There are eels in the lake and eels can continue to grow indefinitely.
indefinitely you say? - looks with new found suspicion at Leviathan and
Jörmungandr
That makes sense.
Largest recorded European eel ? ... not even close
What about a plesiosaur
The myth of the Loch Ness monster is continued to increase tourism, no eels ever grow to that size, about 12lbs max in European freshwater and 300lbs in the sea.
Werefoot is a pretty dope band tbh, I checked them out after you mentioned them because that's a damn good band name and I'm impressed so far. Sort of a mix of southern metal and stoner rock, they're a really talented bunch. Doesn't seem like they ever really got off the ground since they only have two demos on their Soundclound and everything on CZcams is low quality live recordings, but they ain't bad.
Coming from a country whose flag has a literal Dragon on it (Cymru am byth!) I love the idea that some cryptids are maybe, perhaps, kinda real… as others have said here, there are many creatures alive today who would have blown our minds hundreds of years ago. And so much of our planet is yet unexplored that I have a hard time believing there aren’t any mysteries left…
Also, love your Werefoot movie idea 😂
GIRAFFE : a leopard camel with long neck and horns *exist*
UNICORN : just a horse with a horn *doesn't exist*
Unicorns are pointy horses. They don't have one corn though, for some reason, they have one horn. They are magical creatures. The only one we've come across was a refugee from the Land of the Faeries, the Queen's pet. It stank atrociously, and was maddened on reaching the "real" dimension of the Disc to find that time - to which it was not ordinarily subject - was passing and that the sky was only blue...and the Queen's unthinking cruelty was no longer in sole command of its head. In short, it was insane - as evidenced by its charging Granny Weatherwax - a thing no mortal creature would ever do. Animals are extremely good at knowing what would be more-than-suicidal. The unicorn was taken by Granny Weatherwax to Jason Ogg's Smithy, where she had him shoe it with silver horseshoes
Unicorns are just malnourished rhinos.
You just destroyed every little girl's dreams ever! 😂 LOL
That was # 1 in your checklist...
# 2 take over the world
Both equally evil and hilarious
What about the many bones of a horse like animal with dog feet ?
Marco Polo saw rhinos and thought they were unicorns
Not tryna be mean but it sounds like a good 80’s movie
It's basically Teen Wolf
Felix Blacksher there was a movie called son of Bigfoot with a similar plot...
There are a couple of Dresden Files stories that have the main character helping out the son of a sasquatch.
@@lyreparadox Great books. Just received the last book
*good 80's trash movie^^
I just found this channel and I love it. This is right up my alley and on a couple of videos I knew most of the information but there was a couple added tidbits I was unaware of. I love learning new things about subjects I'm super interested in but think I've already over explored.
The chupacabras is waaaay older. My grandfather always talks about this one time he saw one when he was a teenager here in Chile. This was in the 60´s.
Is it possible to transform into someone with social skills,? Who's gotta bite me damnit.
Usually a naked woman
Why on Earth would you want social skills? You'd be better off as a hermit.
I'm still waiting for Artemis to curse me. She turned one dude into a girl for a while. She also turned another guy into a deer, and then his dogs promptly set upon him like a pack of politicians upon illegal campaign donations. Picked... Him... Clean... (I'd rather have the first curse, as it leads to the funny hyjinks, not the sad and morose kind.)
@@jackielinde7568 then keep on blaspheming her the greek gods are the most unhinged of any pantheon so if she exists something will happen
@@lexzetusko Actually, in both cases, it wasn't blasphemy. (We're not talking Athena and Arachne.) With Artemis, she was taking a dip in a pond, and just some random dude shows up and sees her being naked. Three times this happened with three different guys. Two get turned into wildlife, one gets turned into a girl for a few years. (That has an inherent danger called Zeus and Poseidon.) You would have thought that Artemis would have learned by now.
"Anyway this video is about cryptids"
Best intro yet Joe
I remember when I was a youngin’ back in the mid 90’s, Unsolved Mysteries had an episode about the chupacabra. Scared the crap out of me. I thought it would come into my bedroom at night and drain me dry. Fun times.
This Werefoot idea you have was spectacular! I'd read that book.
It was also very funny and wonderfully abrupt when you lead from that into the rest of the video, cold open. I loved it. Great.
Just before starting this video, I had subscribed. And that definitely cemented for me that this was definitely my kind of channel! I love it
Irish here. It's pronounced DUBBER-KOO and MAY-OH (I'm from there!) Great to see it included in the list! Oddly I have a screenplay pitch based on its myth...
depending on the part of ireland and the dialect, it can sometimes be more like DOE-ER-KOO
Hi Peter over in Ireland. Isy here in Scotland, and our Nessie lives in a loch not a lake. Funny how protective we are of our wee own Cryptids!
Came to the comments entirely to find someone correcting him. I'd say "doe-er khoo", don't forget the séimhiú on the "cú"! It was a painful few minutes in the vid.
However it's pronounced, it's a big baby otter
"Dobharchú", literally "water hound" is an old Irish word for "otter". It's pronounced dower-choo, ch not as hard as a k, but it's a sound English speakers don't use, so I guess koo is close, just say it from the back of your throat. I don't know of any dialect that would pronounce it dubber, but I'm not very familiar with dialects north of Mayo. Dobhar is a very old word for water, still used in Welsh. "Lough" is pronounced lock, although it's got another soft sound at the end not used in English. Lock is the closest you will manage if you're only ever spoken English.
Never heard of the Irish one before and I live literally a few miles from said lough and driven past it 100 times.
Maybe you have only driven by but never stopped there and talked to the people about it.
Start Hanging out in pubs populated only by lonely, old sea men.
He made it up I’m telling you
3:22 Harry and the Hendersons made this 1000x better
Your screenplay is basically the premise of the Goosebumps story "The girl who cried monster" lol
I already don't like the CGI in that movie.
It's not Big foot it's just your Hairy Uncle.
it's Sam in the woods in Nova Scotia near a trailer park ...
There is a resemblance.
Sam who? 😁
You mean "your uncle Harry" ?
@@leon_De_Grelle god i hope its not a samsquanch i hate those things
the acurinis would be pretty easy to explain; a dutch ship crashed into the coast by the rainforest and their descendants still live there.
For what it's worth, "Werefoot" is a fun enough title that a lowly development intern like me would happily read it for coverage.
I've been out to some of the deepest wilds of the Pacific North West, and yes, there is PLENTY of space for Sasquatch.
Easily
@Boxing 101 I didn't know it was illegal to shoot a bigfoot - that's pretty interesting.
Also, Bigfoot are sighted in many other states with vast woodlands. They can probably meet up to mate rather easily since walking cross country to them wouldn't be too difficult.
All y'all would like Bob Gymlan's channel here on CZcams :)
@Boxing 101 "literally the last land on earth never(I'm assuming you meant never) touched by humanity" ..... Is Canada a joke to you?
Your movie idea sounds like a great movie man! Although, I thought it was gonna go a different direction.
I was imagining the hunter guy was gonna show up for the hunt, the kid was gonna transform, and the hunter dude was gonna end up killing the kid while he was in Bigfoot form, and the mount the Bigfoot head. Then the Bigfoot head turns back into the kid's head after its mounted (don't ask me why it took so long to revert... Hollywood...) and now the dude wakes up one morning to find a kid's head stuffed and mounted on his living room wall. He screams, the wife wakes up and sees it, they pukes and she cries and calls 911, and he realizes he can't _possibly_ convince the cops of what actually happened, so he goes on the lam and now the movie is a procedural crime drama about catching a psychopath who was actually just a decent guy who made an honest mistake.
I guess you could say I had some assumptions, but honestly I think it'd be a pretty good movie either way, right? Lol.
i'd watch this, please make it a thing.
But where's the love interest?
@@haroldwilkes6608 lolll
Don't encourage him, it's cruel.
@@ricknoyb1613 Actually I've known some kids who should have their heads mounted on the walls. Some adults too.
Yes. Otters are cute.And I've never heard anyone talk about that until today
Did I just watch a 3 minute viral marketing campaign for your buddy's garage band?
Your idea could just as easily become a comedy. The kid turns into a literal big foot and kicks ass.
Yeah, just one giant Monty Python foot, and it can't move, it just sits there, and the hunter guy is unimpressed, but shoots it anyway, and then the dad foot vows to avenge his son's death and eventually tracks the hunter guy to a place and time just right so that he can jump out of a window and transform into giant dad foot while falling, crushing the hunter guy and killing them both in a what you thought was a comedy but turns out to be a nihilistic Greek tragedy.
If you want to see aversion of his description...watch animated movie The son of bigfoot :)
Isn't that basically Shazam?
Dad?
Or it could become a horror if he decides to kill all of the people while he's in his big foot form, then lie about it since he's the only survivor, and nobody outside of the family would ever know ;P
That’s a long rambling intro. I would watch it.
And it's GLORIOUS!
What a roller coaster of emotion in one short comment.
Yeah. I was so into it i totally forgot what the video was I was watching :-D lol
I've been a fan for a while. It's cool you hang your hat in East Texas! I was born and raised here. I thought you kinda looked familiar. I might run into you again one day.
I've seen many odd things while hiking, surprisingly ive only seen Sasquatch 5 times.
Irish person here... You were right Mayo is pronounced like shortened mayonnaise. ✅
But lough is pronounced lock ❌
Simon Mclovin
Slàinte
How could anyone, born anywhere, not know that? I've watched a lot if these videos, and that is the first time he's made that kind of blunder that I've heard, so I'll get over it without much ado. But, seriously, HOW? Ask the whole world, if they haven't been living in a box they have heard of the "Lock" Ness monster.
@Paul I rendered it in English phonetic lettering, thus the quotation marks. Even if I hadn't seen it spelled countless times before, as I assume most people have, the proper spelling is used in the comment thread. And since my own comment was questioning how anyone could make such a mistake given the amount of coverage the topic enjoys, perhaps you coild have realized that without my needing to explain it to you. A little thought can be a wonderful thing. And, if you would notice, 'loch' is the Anglicized spelling of 'lough', so you were actually more guilty of misspelling than I in correcting my "mistake".
@Paul LOL! You are far too sharp for one such as I, I humbly bow to you superior intellect.
New title: Harry and the Hendersons: First Blood
I would watch that
@@christopherstory514 Still waiting on financing to get it made. 😁
when i was a kid i was racing to the school bus when a huge moth passed me and landed/collapsed onto a bush. i lived in NW California and the moth was as big as a Softball or larger. Truly magnificent size, probably a mountain moth of some sort but for many many years i doubted my own eyes. Recently i have seen enough large moths in the USA to convince myself it was a real thing. It was bigger than a bird. brown colours, like maybe a pepper moth
Regarding the loch ness monster, that loch is actually a rift lake, so it's ridiculously deep. In fact, it's deeper than the Loch Linnhe or Moray Firth which are bays of the Atlantic Ocean and North Sea that lie along the same fault. Anyway, it's possible that the legends may be based on a rare sleeper shark species in the lake. That would explain how long-lived the legend is in spite of our inability to find whatever animal it's based on.
There's litterally a movie called "The Son of Bigfoot" so idk, I like the idea tho :)
And the son of blob!
I literally came to the comments for this lmaooo
I came here to tell him that's a movie already
Bigfoot hunter comes to the PNW to look for bigfoot, comes across something that looks like Sasquatch coming out of a sauna, pulls out his shotgun, the apparent Sasquatches pull out their guns, kinkovs, mini-tavors, etc. Hail of gunfire. Sasquatch hunter did not find real sasquatch, he found the Ukrainian Mafia. :D
Is that the Cartoon?
The scariest cryptid would have to be a Kardashian, but I doubt there's a breeding population of 50. I least I hope not.
Well, perhaps they have ample numbers if you include the Jenners, but I hear one just lost the ability to breed.
We are trying to deplete their gene pool by introducing wild Kanyes. It hasn't worked as well as we hoped thus far.
@@Firegen1 "wild Kanyes"
But you repeat yourself.
I’ll help them breed...
@@brainmind4070 Sorry you've lost me.
This movie idea is so 1980s. It's got an innocence to it that movies these days don't have anymore.
Well, except for Pixar.
This is the first video I have ever seen of this channel, and I already loved it enough to subscribe. I hope you do more cryptid stuff, and I'm looking forward to your other videos!
A cat the size of a donkey? You mean a Lion?
Orion Rodriguez Lion-leopard hybrid ?
Lion-Donkey hybrid?
Yes, but actually no, the detail that it purs but doesn't roar means it isn't from the family panthera, and instead is closer related to cougars and smaller cats
I was thinking the same exact thing.😄
Dude, I saw a cat the size of a donkey!

No Dude, this thing purred, and it had really big claws.
-Yeah, that's a lion.
No Dude, it had like a bridle coat and ate people. It was totally like...
-a lion. A big, purring, man-eating, dirty lion. Let it go bro; you were high AF and you saw a lion. 😂😂😂
@@jeffmathers355 Lions don't purr. None of the big cats do with the exception of the North American cougar or Mountain lion, and it's a different genus from the other big cats.
maybe he can play basketball for his local high school while surfing his best friends van, styles.
What a hard hitting cast you’ve lined up for this movie 😂😂😂
This vid made me sub, I like your perspectives :D
"oh, they're stock brokers..." literally laughed out loud. Good stuff
You cure my ADD. ADD can't compete with the level I focus on Joe's vids.
When I was 17 I saw an all black unicorn standing just outside the fenced off area of a horse ranch. its horn was about a foot long and was muddy tan. We were about 50 yards from it on the passing road and stopped to look but had to keep moving because traffic had started to build up behind us. could have been a fancy costume or something but i will never forget it. 🦄
Grew up in the countryside, can confirm. Woods at night are VERY dark, and full of eerie sounds and things half-glimpsed.
Just remember, every mythology contains a grain of truth.
Jup. and all of a sudden, we had the Okapi, and then we realized, there are 2 species of african elephants, and Architheuthis is really a thing.
Myths must be altered or fantasized Truth. Like Planets being the gods, seems true to me.
That's true for most things but how do you explain dragons? They've come up many times in varying cultures yet the biggest reptile in the world (the komodo dragon I believe) only exists in one place in the world. Unless in each civilization someone got high and imagined a scaly bird
@@Linnnaeus Missinterpreting dinosaur remains as dragon remains. They did get the giant lizard part right, flame breathing is probably to livid of a fantasy.
But how many grains? A billion?
Can you do a TMI and just pitch us all your film ideas and past screenplays?
Because if Werefoot is any indication of...
Yeah.
Yeah it was fun to listen to
Joe Scott HD
OMG yep.
3 years later and I would definitely watch that in a tv format with episodes and whatnot
Fun fact, though purring is still a mystery to scientists, all felines have vocal folds to produce one or the other. No cat can roar AND purr. Only one of the two.
Would enjoy watching a movie with a script you wrote, would probably be a quality picture
The emphasis should be on the emotional conflict and what it means to behuman (and ultimately bigfoot being more human than the hunter), less on flashy action. It should be a drama. Directed by Denis Villneuve..
I appreciate that. I'd love to do more of that in the future. The way things are going on the channel, who knows...
You know there is an actual movie thats very similar to to your script its called The Son of Bigfoot.
@@jeffrey949 oh jesus
@@joescott I see it for rent on Amazon. If there a place where I can purchase a DVD? I'm going to rent it... just because. However, I'd like to buy a copy just to support you.
I love the thought that the platypus is a monster. I see them regularly while fishing. They're tiny, well small. The word monster just doesn't fit in any way, shape, or form.
Do you see any teal ones That wear a fedora?
@@pizzamaster355 shhhh, don‘t disturb his peace, he got things to do and missions to fulfill.
Favourite Cryptid has to be the Mongolian Death Worm.
The Werefoot idea seems like something from a channel with 134 subs. But here we are at 1.34 million. I like it
i live in Ecuador and here the chupacabra story is really old like my grandmother use to tell me that story
did he tell it to you in 1995?
How did she describe it as?
I'm legit interested in how she told it because down her in SoCal I've heard it from lots of folks in many different descriptions. I distinctly recall a grandmother talking about it as a reptile in like 1993 way before Species was released.
@@theexpatriate around that time yeah she heard that story form her mom a long time ago my friend
@@yahikokurotama4351 she described it like a reptile with wings and fangs like a vampire, clases that shreded the livestock it was gruesome
Another thing a lot of people are finding out about Yeti is that it's way overpriced! 😎
But it has rubber seal!
Chads and brads don’t care it’s their dads credit card anyways
I think every episode of yours should start with a movie idea! 😂
The Nessie species spends most of its life as a juvenile form, which is known as a haggis. There are hundreds of haggi roaming the Scottish Highlands. They are very small and well camouflaged, and they only briefly take the adult form to breed in local lochs. So, it is understandable that sightings are very rare.
no cryptids but when i was a kid and before i had heard of the phenomena, seeing several "bolts?" of ball lighting kinda boiled my noodles
its actually exist, forgot what it's called but you're not hallucinating
"boiled my noodles" is a fantastic figure of speech, I gotta remember that one
Emerald also try “tickles my tater tots”
I witnessed ball lightning when I was 11. There was a storm. I was upstairs sitting on my bed next to a window. The window had a lamp with no shade on it. The ball lightning came through a window on the other side passed in front of my face and out the window next to me blowing the light bulb in the lamp on its way out.
It's a natural phenomenon, I forget what it's caused by but it can be very dangerous
You called LOCH Ness a lake, twice. It's a Loch, it's in the name. *shakes angry fist at the screen*
Loch is how the word lake is pronounced in Scottish. Loch = lake, kirk = church, etc...
@@jannahkillinger Hi, Im Scottish, I live in Scotland, Loch is a Gaelic word for an inland body of water, where as a lake is a body of water surrounded by land, theres alot of crossover there but you cant have a sea lake & there are plenty of sea lochs. Kirk is the Scots (language) word for a meeting place which became synonymous with a church. Neither word is just how we pronounce things theyre not words from the English language.
4:49 classic Joe! Gave me a good chuckle
Future reference. An Irish ☘️ lake (Louch) is pronounced “Lock”.
Just an FYI
"It's no a lake. It's a loch!" Don't forget the phlegm. 😄
I swear my bank account had another zero at the end...
Nobody believes me though.
$0.0? Lol
Bibitybopitybacon lol!
I believe
It's not that they don't believe you. You just need to reconsider your choice of words. The statement "I've lost zero from my bank account" rarely generates much attention.
Is no one gonna talk about how this dude practically replicated the plot to 'son of bigfoot'
damn this intro alone is better quality than entire way more popular videos.
My favorite cryptid is the late 30's married person with more than four friends. Rocking a solid single friend. I feel my roster is full.
That's a 'squatchy' area.
I liked that. I'm gonna use this in conversation at some point.
"Hey, I'm squatchin in here!"
if you make this movie id love to do the photography/ advertisement! this idea had me laughing, all the way to, concerned for the characters.... story has a familiar feel but some real room for originality. could be darkly hilarious. GREAT IDEA!
The cat one sounds like a challenge for me to add another cat to my collection 😂
My favourite cryptid: Jeffrey Epstein, some say he's still alive...
Nope, unfortunately the creature known as Jeffrey Epstein is now extinct. The only living specimen was ruthlessly "hunted" to extinction by "specimen collectors" under the employment of the Clint--- Oops! Better not say that, lest the "specimen collectors" come after me next! :)
Working at Trumps detention centers where they keep the caged kids. Look at the rape reports. It's like half of the number of the total kids.
@@TH3F4LC0Nx Yeah. Because the Clintons would have Bill Barr make sure the cover-up went well.
He didn’t kill himself
No, but he definitely didn't kill himself.
Fun, nerdy, science-y. You jib is cut much like mine. Love the video, as always. Thanks, Joe!
I love his movie idea at the beginning, I'd watch it
Bro, you said Chupacabra and I immediately thought of the Mysteries at the Museum episode about it. I specifically remember laying on the couch at night and being absolutely terrified lol
My family found a cocoon on a bush in our yard when I was a kid. We put it in a jar, thinking a butterfly or moth would emerge. Instead we got something that looked like a pale brown, sorta upright sitting lobster with wings it kept folded on its back (only saw a little bit of wing underside a few times and remember it being quite colorful-yellow and purple). It also kept "laying" what looked like little green seeds. They were hard and had bright green juice in them. I have a distinct memory of my mom smashing them open with a rock, very perplexed because they looked like something you'd see growing from a trees in the area. It didn't seem to be poop or eggs, so what he hell was it?
We kept the "bug" in a cleaned out 4-pound Skippy Peanut Butter jar with air holes drilled in the lid. And it pretty much filled up the whole thing. The guy was larger than any bug I'd ever seen. The protrusions (antennae?) on its face were very lobster-like. Hug dark brown eyes. Bumps on its face. Quite an amazingly strange creature.
We let it go after a couple of days, placing it in a tree so it didn't starve, having not eaten the leaves or grass we placed in the jar. There's no insects like that in Nebraska that I know of, and we've never another one since. Mutation or cryptid, I'll never know unless someone can identify this bug of all bugs. I wish now I had counted its legs! It might have helped in determining taxonomy.
I've seen a couple of strange creatures in the same area, but nothing like this. One was a giant fly that was a little bigger than a Matchbox car. There was a green, furless caterpillar that ended up in a bush out front once. It was bulky, three to four inches in length, and had sinister black eyes. It made strange "grumpy" sounds when my dad threatened it with a stick (which it bit). That one probably is a known animal and likely came from the cornfield just across the road, though I've never seen one since. We also once caught a giant toad that was so huge it knocked over the 5-galleon bucket we trapped it in. Nope, it wasn't a frog, just a huge toad. But none of these animals have come close to baffling me like the cryptid in the cocoon.
try googling dobson fly.
So, was it a dobson fly?!
You didn't take any image or a video?
Do you live by a river or body of water? Try looking up the life cycles insects in the area
12:20 I don't personally believe in Bigfoot, but the answer to your question about there being enough uninhabited forest is a DEFINITE yes. Not sure if you've been to the PNW, but outside of the scattered cities/towns it's mostly forest from Northern California all the way up to BC/Alaska.
I run into that all the time on this topic. People have literally NO idea how much actual open, uninhabited space there is in North America.
Right? I lived in Idaho for several years & was super surprised to learn that like MOST of the population lived in the Treasure Valley & pretty much the rest of the state was just open forest & desert with a few scattered towns here & there.
@@hazonku Oregon is basically the same with the Willamette Valley.
“Oh they’re stockbrokers” lmfaooo
very interesting, great stuff!
