My favorite cryptid is my drunk dad at 3AM eating a whole block of cheese
Lmao
I know how it is
That shit is Scary!
Is your dad George Castanza 🤔?
Is there any other way
"loveland frogman" sounds like an elaborate insult aimed at french people
Makes me feel sexy.
@@comments.are.turned.off... this one, this one right here officer
What do you mean, “insult?”
Sounds like something Longmont Potion Castle would say
Lol
The rarest of cryptids,
an ethical politician.
Impossible. Those words are mutually exclusive.
You have to have ethics surgical removed to be a politician
Hey!!! All of you Skeptics out there concerning Ethical Politicians...just SHUT UP! They actually DO EXIST. I had my first encounter with one back in 1977. And I'm fairly certain I caught a glimpse if one in October of '83...but I can't be sure. I've heard they've even found fossil remains of one in South Dakota.
@@jasonzorn5360 did those politician fossils have giant, man eating teeth, large trousers stuffed with monies of other people's hard work?
Of course it likely did- I am skeptical of this "Ethical" Politician.
Stop making shit up. Cryptids are not just whatever jank you can think of...
I’m convinced Appalachia is just a cryptid nature preserve
I think Appalachia is actually an urban legend, its just one massive cryptid lol
As someone from eastern KY, I can confirm this.
Some of that bad moonshine down there will make you see 4 headed dogs and all sorts of stuff...
I live in Appalachia, the great smoky mtns, and read this comment right at bedtime. Thanks a lot haha
Honestly, probably.
So a guy saw what he thought was a bear, in the middle of the night, in the dark, and decided to go within 8' of it. Because that's what you do when its the middle of the night and you think there's a bear outside.
I mean, he was armed.
@@LostShipMate yeah but that might not help you, depending on caliber. Anything less than .357 magnum isn't gonna do anything other than piss it off
@@superdarklink No Idea what your talking about, a 22 lr is plenty. Anything past 32 acp is overkill.
@@LostShipMate yeah ok Buddy 🤣
@@superdarklink My joke seems to have failed, oh well.
The Flatwoods monster is inexplicably popular in Japan
I've heard about that
That explains why it looks so much like the weird alien things from Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask, a game made by the japanaese lol
@@michaelwells529 so that’s why the monster looks familiar
The Flatwoods monster is in Fallout76.
And also in termina
Fun fact, the Flatwoods monster is what inspired the alien side quest in Majora's Mask
I saw it in the thumbnail and was like: No way, the ranch aliens from MM??
Indeed. I hear the Japanese really seem to like the Flatwoods monster, and as an avid fan of Zelda, I think it’s pretty cool that something from America inspired something in a Japanese series I like.
I swear all the creatures mentioned, ALL live next door to me! Expect even stranger cryptoids soon! When they start breeding! Will keep u updated!😀😀😀
i figured that after seeing the head shape😅
Braxy is very popular in japanese culture and has made a ton of appearances in video games.
“Bears, Farmer Elmore, or an undiscovered creature” has gotta be the funniest combination of words I’ve seen in a while
Neighbor saw bear wolf head on it
Garrison tx off fm 1087
Hey guys have a PSA everyone needs to hear. When you open your front door and see a bear or what you atleast think is one, dont go grab a flashlight and a gun and head outside after it, it's a bear, go back inside, close your door, make sure everything is locked up and enjoy your evening knowing that the next bowel movement that animal has, it wont be made out of you. Good day, good luck and God bless.
Why tell people this? Let natural selection do it's job lol
if you open your door and see a bear you should invite them in!
if i find a bear at my door, i am going to give a map, compass and money for a flight home
Unless he’s wearing leather and assless chaps. Then he may be just a lost furry gay man.
Wrong, if there's a bear outside your door then just speak some russian and invite them in, put on your finest tracksuit and get the expensive vodka out and give the bear some of the vodka
_"Dad, I swear it wasn't me who wrecked the car! It was a big Green monster with red eyes and scales and claws! When I got in the car to take off, he ran up to the window and said: _*_Hey buddy, you got about tree fiddy?_* 😂
It was the loch Ness monster
@@madisonw1191 dammit woman! Tell me you didn't give it a dollar to go away! Then he just gonna keep on coming back!
tree fiddy hahahahaha now thats fkn funny !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lol
It was about that time I realized it was the Loch Ness monster
As a resident of WV, I wouldn’t consider the flat woods monster to he “forgotten.” Maybe not held to the same proportions of cryptids like Bigfoot or the mothman, but certainly not forgotten.
WVa proud
Flatwoods is certainly a very famous mystery
Yea especially when it's added into a mainstream video game (Fallout 76)
I've heard of it. PA native here.
I'm building an apartment for a college professor in Huntington, WV. I know what you mean. I see a bunch of fat woods monsters loading up at Walmart, cruising the alleys in their pieced together vehicles and sometimes walking down the sidewalk hand in hand with another fat woods creature. I can't tell which one is which considering both male and female are unshaven. Scary place this West Virginia is.
Cool fact: I actually met one of the men who searched for the Enfield Horror, and he told me about how he almost hunted it down. Some additional facts for it are that the tracks also had 3 claws. 2 short claws in the front and 1 long claw in the back. Also McDaniel was a war veteran, and said that it was the most terrifying thing he had ever seen.
Interesting.
I want to like this comment, but I don't want to ruin the number

@@hidekiryuga9144 Exactly!

If humanity developed time travel, would be cool to time travel to events like these and figure out what really happened.
Then I guess we know what half of these cryptids really are then, future humans and our wild pets
It would probably be an owl, or a basking shark
@@YogoBites trey 'it's a basking owl' the explainer?
@@caramel9154 yep
Sounds like a good basis for a series akin to Supernatural
3:48 Lie detectors don't actually detect lies. They just detect anxiety. An innocent person who is anxious can fail a polygraph test while a guilty person who is calm enough can pass.
Love that Goatman has a Spider-Man villain backstory.
I thought the same thing,or Marvel comics in general
Keep talking like that and you're bound to attract a violent goose brigade...
Always with the glowing eyes.
Most of them do,that and their bad odor
How do you think animals see in the dark?
With batteries and a flashlight???? LOL
Lots of animals have a tapita lucidum that causes that, like cats and owls. The really ridiculous stories, though, have glowing eyes in broad daylight or with no bright light source.
Loving the cryptid videos, Justin.
Hey Z
oh hey z
Agreed!!
Hey z... Z

Ummmm you missed my mother in law again and I don't know how she eats souls and buckets of fried chicken in the same sitting
I know her, her name is Shannikua hasshamoan
❤❤❤😂😂😂
😂
My aunt is the same thing
Just called my brother in law to see if he was using an alias. Maybe the cryptid investigators have something to investigate. (he denied using an alias)
I finally found a good cryptid youtuber (even though that's not your main thing).
You do what I like, you approach it from an angle of "it could be real" and don't outright dismiss everything but you're also logical and don't blindly believe everything.
You ever watch Bob Gymlan? He's really good too
@@jackalope2302 Bob Gymlan is the man love his channel
You would also enjoy TREY the explainer
@@xpertrex5991 Naaah he’s more of a skeptic. And this brings in evidence that goes with his narrative and or opinion.
Dude you need to watch Bob Gymlan. Probably the best cryptozoology channel on YT.

Funny how in the 1950s when making movies about aliens and UFOs became popular everyone started seeing them everywhere.
Other way around. They were monitoring our advancement in weaponry.

The trashman is the most powerfull cryptid.
He IS the only cryptid, all the others are phoneys.
Trashman..........must be raccoon man
- You don't have a clue about cryptids and if you ever have an experience with one, it will probably break you. Make fun all you want but you wouldn't laugh if you experienced it.

Y'all forgot about the Goatman of Alton Bridge here in North Texas, just next door to the Lake Worth Monster
You mean the Goatman of Shane Madej’s bridge? Children go there and tell tales of math and logic 😂
There is also a goat man called the popelick monster
@@piercedprincessmeranda2373 I live within half an hour from Pope Lick road in Kentucky, and though I’m super into the supernatural and cryptids, I only learned out him about two or so years ago. And I’m 26. Lol no one around here seems to care about the Pope Lick Monster. :( assuming they’ve even heard of him.
The goat man of Alton Bridge is a demon.
Gotta love how rubbery that lizardman looked. Almost like some weirdo in a suit.
Teenager comes home in wee hours of the morning in his dad’s station wagon which is all dinged up: “Oh my God, Dad, I was just attacked by a lizard man! He was seven feet tall and had black claws!”
Very true
Another story of the Scape Ore Swamp. A parked car had gashes across it that was outside of a house. Which was reported to the police that they thought a person was vandalizing their car.
Imagine a teenager coming home and telling the truth...
@@mamapetillo8675 They do every now and then. They get back at 10:30 on Friday night with a long, sad face and say, "Honest dad, all I did was hang around Petey's with Chuck and Braden and then came home."

As someone who lives near enfield I can’t say I’ve ever seen an ape, kangaroo, or bear around here, but the enfield horror is so interesting and I’d love to learn more

It’s a dying breed, my friend
Ah fellow basement gremlin

Wait that’s literally me
If you do a third part to this American cryptid series I think it would be cool if you covered the Snallygaster of Frederick County, a cycloptic avian creature sighted by German immigrants in the 1730's, known for killing people and livestock alike, sometimes draining the blood of their victim, other times consuming their flesh. While the cryptid isn't exactly a modern thing, with its last supposed sightings being in the 1900s, it had a decently large impact on the peoples in the local area, barns with seven-pointed stars that supposedly mark you as someone who the beast should not harm are still commonly found to this day, and there is also a festival named after the monster, it even had a Fallout monster named after it (although I should stress that despite Fallout 76 often using actual cryptids for their monsters, like the Mothman for instance, that this 'Snallygaster' is not based on, or is even remotely related to the original creature).
I am 69th like
There is an evil alien cat by the name of mr. kat who is my sister's pet and is also an alien.
Snalleygaster- is that the one with the light on it's head? Seven point stars are in Enochian sigils and if drawn and used the same, they might help ID the Snalleygaster, or maybe help determine the method of their appearance...
Especially being German...
I made a a really cool snallygaster diorama night light. One of my fav cryptids.
I do wonder if the 7 point stars are just hex marks, which sound mysterious but are just German folk arts. I spent a summer researching them, found out too late that "hex" was a misunderstanding, still had to do a whole project on them for 4H lol...
It’s clearly a farmer who decided to start dressing as a lizard after he found out about the story.
I almost hurt myself laughing at this picture! He is walking like he won first prize in a fancy dress competition.

19:42 Some owl threat displays involve them raising their butt up in the air and making a circle with their wings around themselves, which looks a lot like the flatwoods monster head spade.

Me running late to the costume party
Lol
@@austintrousdale2397 Lol
I KNOW! I was late getting off work and by the time I got to the costume store they were already turning the "OPEN" sign in the window around to "CLOSED" and I slammed my hand against the steering wheel shouting "DAMN IT! If only Gregg hadn't been screwing around on the forklift I would've made in time!"
The flatwoods monster actually inspired "them" from Majora's Mask
I was wondering why I recognized them
From Walrus to Stag to Rhino and so on many creatures are particularly known for attacking cars, so for the cryptid to be triggered by a car would not be such a unusual thing
I think most humans are cryptids to a certain level. I can't be the only one whose be caught guzzling whole oreos in the dead of night...right?
I did that last night. The new chocolate hazelnut ones
Guys, I think I found the "Oreo Guzzler"!
I practically guzzle mine cause I dunk them in milk
In all realness, you’d have to be a pretty OP cryptid to claw your way to the top of a billion year corpse pile, alter your planets entire chemical atmospheric makeup, and then set up a system of instantaneous communication across the globe.
I have always lived just a few miles from the Enfield area, and honestly had never heard of the Enfield Monster until these stories started being shared on the internet.
In 1985, 3 friends and I were driving the backroads doing g what teenagers did back in the day. When something came out of the brush and crossed in front of the car. In the headlights we saw a hairy, 3-4 foot tall thing and waived a stick at us. 3 of the 4 of us saw the creature as the driver braked and we slid passed where it had crossed. I can say the 3 (including myself) screamed at the sight, while the 4th who didn't see told us we were nuts. It did happen and my 2 friends have not forgot the incident even after all these years.
It’s that little hairy guy from Addams family
The frog man.. I would like to have had that in this video since I've seen something similar to it in the Delta of Mississippi. I was driving an ambulance at the time and was taking a patient to Jackson (during the day). Well, as I was passing through a swamp, something caught my eye on the right of the vehicle at the top of a guard rail. It looked like the biggest bullfrog I had ever seen. I'm talking as big as a full size basketball. However, the closer I got the more strange it looked. Its eyes were large, black and set on the front of its head, just like a humans. The mouth was wide and the top of its head was rounded not flat like a frogs would be. As I approached, it turned to look at me, it had a look of intelligence in its eyes as we stared at each other. I had already slowed down at the moment we made visual contact with one another. It looked at me like it was studying me, taking in my details. This is when I knew damn well this wasn't a frog. If it had been a frog, it would needed to have been purched on the rail to have had its head above the guard like that but there weren't any legs.. We stared into each others eyes through the passenger window, I've seen a lot but this left me stunned and grasping at reason.. As I passed, it turned its head and looked at the side of my ambulance, it looked curious and was examining it. I watched in the side view mirror and thats when I noticed it had a neck and not only that but it had to have been fairly sizable to have had its head over the railing because the other side seemed to drop off. I'm not sure how deep but I'm 5ft 2in and I don't think I would have been able to stand behind it like that.. when my ambulance fully passed, I saw it turn and look at the other cars going by. It just seemed to be looking at us, like a curious child. It was a really weird experience for me. I will never forget the creature's face. This guard rail was literally on the edge of the road. So, when I passed we couldn't have been more than 10ft from each other. I know what I saw and I will never forget it.
Good don't ever forget that
Go back to the spot and leave snacks for like a year until he gets comfortable and approaches. Then make new friend.
he already did the frog man in his first us cryptids video
Frog man? He's a goofy guy w a evil son(/dad/creator?) that lives in Halloween Town.
sorry but I'm skeptical
I remember seeing the photo of the Flatwoods Monster in a book on cryptids as a kid and being scared shitless. Fast forward to me around 19-20 years old and a buddy and I were driving down a somewhat populated highway at around 10-11 pm, I was in the passenger seat. At the side of the highway, the headlights illuminated what looked to be a VERY tall owl, probably close to 5 feet in height. I know people have a tendency exaggerate seeing odd things in places they normally wouldn't be, but I'll never forget the size of that owl and how it seemed to be staring right into the car.
My kids and I once saw an owl almost three feet tall on the side of the road, in broad daylight.
9:15 Looks like the local high school sports mascot got lost in the woods.
I'm glad your channel auto played for me. :) Love your cryptid videos especially since there is always an emphasis on the skeptic's opinions. But your history stuff is great too.
"the monster has not been seen again since 1952" I saw it abduct someone from romani ranch, they wiped the poor girl's memories :(
Would you mind sharing some details of that?

The comments on these kinds of videos are gold
I just saw this recently about the Flatwoods Monster:
Apparently it was just a barn owl showing a self-defense stance some owls show when they feel threatened.
In the “stance”, they put their heads down near their feet and fluff their wings up *above* their head in a shape similar to what they described as “an ace of spades.” If you look at the picture shown when they described it, the owl itself looks exactly like the head of the Flatwoods Monster.
Also, they did say they only got a 1 or 2 second glimpse of it before getting scared and running away, imagine coming up on a supposed alien crash site and turning around and seeing an owl in the darkness.
TL;DR: The Flatwoods Monster was a Barn Owl that was as scared of the humans as they were scared of it.
Why do you call it fact? While you have no evidence to confirm that it was once an owl, Moreover, the owl theory of the flatwoods monster is just a fabrication of crazy sick skeptics like Joe Nickell, that's just the personal opinion of the skeptics, not actual fact.
@@user-kf7kp6ev4t so it’s a fact that it was an alien?
To say they saw an owl is an insult to the witnesses intelligence.
@@BottleBrihalf of the witness were children who just saw a bright light in the sky for the first time. I don’t think, that their minds would immediately go to owls if they saw something with red eyes looking at them after that.
Justins voice is so soothing.
I'm surprised you didn't mention the Kelly-Hopkinsville encounter, where a family and relatives reported trading gunfire between themselves and small, goblin-like beings, reportedly from outer-space, for nearly two whole hours. The encounter, and media reports surrounding, were where the phrase Little Green Men comes from, when referring to alien visitors in general.
That story is horrifying
That's not true about little green men. Ben Franklin and other founding fathers talked about little green men and Ben even claimed to meet one. This idea goes back a very long time.
@@LTPottengerwhere did you hear this?🤔🍻
I’m curious as to how Mr. Redford thinks something can’t be both scaly and covered in mud
Literally thought the exact same thing… like the 2 are far from mutually exclusive… lol
the photo at 9:15 is legitimately the scariest, realest thing I've ever seen. as soon as it came up, I froze, the hair on my arms stood up, the fear enveloped me, it took control, it wouldn't let go. I fear it will never let go.
Kek
Absolutely blood chilling. 😂😂
My favourite has got to be the Flatwoods monster. It’s look is so unique when compared to other cryptids.
But is it real?
Thank you for the campfire series! I watch them all the time.
Man, am I glad this channel got big! Thanks for the quality content since the beginning!
I'm a South Carolina native and I remember the hysteria surrounding the lizardman. T-shirts, bumper stickers, and nick-knacks plaster with lizardmen all over. One part of the overall tale you didn't mention though was the supposed link to oral history tales from the Native American tribes. As that part of the tale goes, the tribes were wary of a small population of reptilian humanoids in the swamps.
Your crypid videos are some of my favorites! I really hope you make more, there’s a criminal lack of crypid content on CZcams
I saw a goatman 8 years ago when I was 15. A friend and I both witnessed it walking across the end of a bridge. It had red hair and when we saw it we froze in fear and shock. I still can’t stop thinking about it to this day.
I never forgot about you, either.
U we're 23 when this was posted
Great Video maybe make something about the alleged surviving dinosaur encounters like with the Pterodactyl encounters in Texas and some raptor bipedal like in other states
I second that idea! 🙂
What I like about this, that it is very sober
and informative and clears a lot of B.S.
about so called cryptids which more
imagination than fact.

Cryptids are my most favorite topic! 😁
I'm in West Virginia,we have a number of famous cryptids here.
The Mothman
The Flatwoods Monster
The Grafton Horror
Among others..Sasquatch and Dogman sightings 😏 cryptid central here lol
We should have a global agreement to stop taking pictures and start taking videos and sacrificing ourselves for the sake of discovery by running full on into the monster
I love how each of these stories involve hunters showing up to kill the beast so they can display it. AMERICA!
Excellent! I know what I am listening to while I paint my Warhammer minis.
Was doing exactly the same
Same. Stories like this are top tier warhammer painting fuel.

I've had Cryptid encouters, but open your mouth and suddenly you can't even buy beer at the local gas station after work without gettin' laughed out the door and somebody shouting "Seems to ME you've already had ENOUGH beer for one day, Buddy!"
Some people are so closed minded it's ridiculous 🙄 like if they haven't seen it themselves..it can't be real.
Just because they don't believe in something like a Sasquatch,won't stop one from chasing them out of the forest..or invading their campsite 😏
There are others that WILL believe you and probably others that have had similar experiences as you. 👍
@@katmack4215 no, most people just dont open their mind so much their brain falls out, maybe you should look for your brain instead of unprovable creatures
I love when hardcore skeptics have an unexplainable incident 😂 and it happens all the time. Hoping that paradigm shift isn't too much for you,when it happens 😉
@@katmack4215 I hope scientists can study your brain one day, and hopefully people like you can be potentially cured, or at the very least helped.
@@katmack4215 Hahaha😄😄😜😀😆 I ABSOLUTELY love your comments.
They SAY "There is no one so blind as he who WILL NOT SEE." And I don't HAVE to visually SEE something in order to believe in it. Like, if you are fairly certain you have a mouse in the house, you naturally set a mouse trap. You don't have to SEE the mouse to believe it's around. You have tons of surmounting EVIDENCE to lead you to BELIEVE it's there. You set the trap, preferably NOT with the gourmet cheese in the fridge, but rather the 99 cent sandwich cheese that is basically oil and chemicals, and next morning...you got yourself a dead mouse.
With Cryptids...it's basically the same premise. You see tons of EVIDENCE...and you can tell others "HEY... I Uhhh...think I might have a Sasquatch or Dogman hanging around my property, cuz I got all these footprints and hair and poop and stuff all over the place, my dogs are stressed out, my windows have greasy handprints everywhere, and SOMEBODY has been sipping my hidden stash of Jack Daniels."
Need more of these cryptid vids.
Do one on time glitches
Excellent video. Interesting topic and your presentation, as always, is done quite well.
These cryptid videos are amazing
Have you heard of the "Goatman" of old Alton Bridge near Denton Texas?
Yes and even though I don’t live in Texas, I’m a firm believer as well as Kentucky goatman
@@devin.t.collins no one in Kentucky talks about the Pope Lick Monster. :( i live within half an hour from him and no one seems to care. Lol I DO know that people commonly used to do drugs and hang out around that area. (Though it’s a no trespassing zone now)
So I’m not saying it was drugged out people, or a story made up to keep people from going there. Buuuuut 🤷♀️
That is a demon.
The dislikes are from the cryptids lol
*cryptids
Wdym?
@@That_Thicc_Cat you spelled it wrong don't play dumb with me
@@anithoal1421 what do you mean don’t play dumb with you?
@@That_Thicc_Cat Don't turn this around on me you spelled cryptids wrong I corrected you and you're trying to act confused.
Dislikes are the men in black not enjoying there cases getting exposed 🤣🤣🤣
They need to be exposed to tell the truth
I have seen a sheepsquash in Australia. It was a Maurino sheep that had escaped and had never been shorn or had its tail removed, a normal process in Australia. It was on the edge of the farm and the farmer pointed it out to the class of agriculture students I was in. It was huge but it was all matted wool contaminated with mud, feces, brambles, etc. All attempts to catch it had failed.
That would surprise me. Sheep wearing that much wool arent moving all that well.
My favorite cryptid was the dude I saw riding a bike across the street with a queen sized mattress over one shoulder like it was nothing.
There is another creature I’ve heard of, not sure if it’s a cryptid, called Momo (short for Missouri monster). It’s most well known sighting was in 1972, when two younger brothers were in their backyard, and their older sister was in the kitchen. Then she had noticed that they were screaming at something, and looked through a window in the kitchen that overlooks the backyard, and saw what was described as 7 feet tall, having a pumpkin shaped head, glowing orange eyes, and holding what looked like a deceased dog.
Yeah it's way easier too blame wrecking your car on lizardman than the bottle of mad dog.
I really appreciate the miles to km convention!!! As a Canadian i almost never understand the speed of vehicles in stories like these. It was a nice lil added for us veiwers. Thank you.
Love this guy's narration voice.
The Illinois one is like that one cryptid from France that was probably an escaped hyena
A few years ago I was camping in an area close to Bigfoot territory in Ohio near Salt Fork State Park. It was late at night and I had a fire going and was sitting by it reading a book and drinking a beer. Around 11:00 p.m. I heard a strange rustling in the trees behind my tent. Then I heard low guttural growls. I stood up, turned around and as I did a huge hairy creature emerged from the woods not more that 25 feet from me. It stood 8 feet tall and had to weigh in excess of 450 pounds. I stood motionless not knowing what to do when the creature began dictating the narrative. It slowly lifted its right hand and pointed to the beer I was holding in my hand. I immediately realized the beast wanted a COLD beer. And why not? It was at least 85 degrees and so humid you could cut the air with a knife. I popped a brewsky and gave it to him and motioned for him to come sit by my fire.
He capitulated and as we sat by the fire I lit a cigarette. He instantaneously became agitated and started motioning to my mouth and then to his mouth. Damn, the Dude wanted a smoke. So I lit one for Bfoot and we continued socializing, drinking our beer and having a few smokes. Eventually Bfoot's eyelids began to droop. The beer was making him sleepy. He arose, waved goodbye and walked away, whistling as he disappeared into the woods.
I haven't encountered the creature again, but since then I never venture into the woods without my Bud Light and a carton of Marlboros. Hopefully I'll meet the Big Guy again with his wife and children. If so, I hope the kids are at least 21. No way I'm doing time for serving minors. I got a rep to protect.
Danm tho that's an intertaining story-
Have to say, love the neutral stance in the presentation.
If we're going to explain it away with an owl, which seems feasible, then the smell is probably the skunk it killed.
These are my favourite vids of yours.
More cryptids!!
Apparently the flatwood monster was seen in montetey mexico somewhere around the late 2000's. A cop was attacked by one and gave in detail how the the thing looked. He says it was a witch because it looked so much like one and some time down the line they showed him a sketch of the flatwood monster and said it looked exactly the same. In my opinion his testimony seems so real because of how scared he looked during the interview when it happened. They found no drugs in his system and he visibly looked frightened.
There tends to be a theme to these cryptids
They are mostly humanoids ,found in the woods and are encountered at night .
I guess this could be a psychological thing as night time makes people feel unsafe,large humans are intimidating and the woods terrifies many people
I worked for the USDA, Agricultural Research Center for 10 years. The area where this supposedly took place would be what we locals refer to as The Farm. Which it literally is vs laboratories and offices. The entire time I worked there I never heard a reference to the Goat man. It was while I was in high school 1971-1975 that I first heard of him. The Farm does house a silo, an airport, deep tunnels to allow government officials from DC to scamper to safety should there be a nuclear holocaust in DC or the MD, VA environs. There are sub-sub basements in the older research buildings where previous experiments carried out on research subjects (animals) are housed. I WOULDN'T go down there. Deep, dark, dank and not well maintained. Could be housing something odd, who knows.
Thank you for creating these videos, and don't listen to the (thankfully) few naysayers below. You just keep recording the way you are. I appreciate the in-depth look without stumbling over insignificant details. You give us enough to form a picture in the mind's eye without overloading us. Keep up the good work!
I love these cryptid videos. If you make another video, would you cover the black-eyed children?
the accounts of the Black Eyed Kids (BEK’s) are chilling to say the least...
Yes! I wanna see that too..🙂
After learning of these BEKs..I've always said I pray no lil kids,in need of real help ever knock on my door late at night! Those lil bastards better hope the neighbors are home..cuz I'm NOT answering 😂
We have a goat monster here near Huntsville Al. The sightings began shortly after a military aircraft crash landed up north from Huntsville near the Mississippi river. The military refuses to this day to release info on what cargo they were carrying and they send a team out to the sight every year to dig. They say they're looking for the engines of the aircraft or atleast what is left of them. I have a friend, hes 64 year old, that claims he saw whatever it is back in the 80s. Says it had the head of a goat, the body of a man, solid black, red eyes and 8-9 ft tall. Idk, old people tell stories so could be just a bunch of bologna. Hes been an honest man all my life never knew of him to lie but his story seems too hard to believe to me
I've lived in north Alabama my whole life and have never heard of this
My uncle talks about meeting a Goatman in Lehi Arizona. Supposedly it was very kind and asked my uncle how he was doing. Also supposedly lots of people in the town have met this so called goatman.
The goatman Sightings started in 1970s Maybe it was goatman who knows
amazing video! great job! keep bringing this kind of subjects for us...
Thank you so much for another cryptid video!
9:15 goddamn son hahahaha that’s a hella of a power ranger costume, Sarah was really fucking with them
Great mini documentary! You reported without prejudice and presented historical accounts of individual statements and experiences! Ok, it wuz also entertaining
I must be a cryptid nerd. All of these are quite famous cases if you're into cryptids.
Real obscure ones, like the pioneer woman who saw a creature that rolled by her like a wheel with legs all around it, are the most fascinating in my opinion. Great and in-depth video nonetheless. :)
Name of the creature plz
yes, would like more info on the wheel creature if you can suggest where to look..
I remember reading about the Flatwood Monster - perhaps actually that article of Fate Magazine, since my grandmother had a subscription. I was terrified for years until the fact that it was obviously an owl reached me.
Why do you call it fact? While you have no evidence to confirm that it was once an owl, Moreover, the owl theory of the flatwoods monster is just a fabrication of crazy sick skeptics like Joe Nickell, that's just the personal opinion of the skeptics, not actual fact.
I like the order you put. Another great video!
The number of different topics this channel makes videos about is crazy. All of it is equally as interesting.
Iv come across a lizard like man in the swamps of NC it was terrifying
Really..or ur messin with us? 🤔 people really still claim to see these things,for real 😬 I think of all the cryptids I believe are real..this one is the scariest
