He covers tv shows but he shines when it comes to History Channel's and Animal Planets non-traditional coverage.

I love this space (r/cryptids) and wanted to see how like-minded we all are.

you might have seen Billiam do some Cryptid coverage in these vids on the WonderTubes:

• Lost Tapes/Mermaids: Body Found/Cannibal in the Jungle
• MORE Lost Tapes
• Megalodon/Sharks/MORE Megalodon
• Mountain Monsters (Appalachian Bigfoot Hunters)
• MORE Mountain Monsters (The Lore that ties in Even MORE Homegrown Cryptids)

Mine is the Black Carpet

I’m currently going through a cryptid phase that began with me buying a few cryptid-related books (notably The United States of Cryptids by J.W. Ocker) and binging Wendigoon’s cryptid iceberg on YouTube, now I plan on even buying more cryptid books/novels (big fan of Devolution by Max Brooks) and binging Lost Tapes on YouTube.

Speaking of Lost Tapes, I’m very sure this awesome show and Finding Bigfoot was my earliest exposure to cryptids during my childhood. I used to watch Animal Planet frequently and I clearly remember one day watching a random episode of Lost Tapes with my dad and getting the shit scared out of me by the Owlman episode.

This media exposure to cryptids would eventually lead me to this mini-series on Nat Geo called Beast Hunter (which is how I found out about the Mapinguari and the animatronic/statue portrayal the show used also gave me nightmare fuel as a kid) and randomly watching content creators like Wendigoon who make videos about cryptids or similar creatures.

Cryptids are just such a fascinating concept to think about even if more than a few are obvious hoaxes/fakes/folklore stories.

My personal favorites are the supposedly living dinosaurs such as Mokele-mbembe (which I also first found out about in Beast Hunter and makes a surprise appearance in the Japanese Goblin Slayer anime/manga/light novel series) and Burrunjor.

Though, the extant Megalania if it does count as a cryptid is my number one. Mostly because Lost Tapes gave it a really badass nickname which didn’t exist before the show aired (Devil Dragon) and the Megalania episode of the Monsters Resurrected documentary series makes reference of its status as a cryptid.

Hey everyone! I'm doing some research on the Coos County Wood Devil for an upcoming podcast episode (feel free to find out more about that in my profile) but i was curious on what this subreddit knows about it's lore/history!

Does anyone here know any stories, or have you had any personal experiences with this 'bigfoot-like' creature? Or if you don't have first or second-hand experience, did you know any of the lore/stories behind it?

I'd love to hear anything you could add! Also, if you have a personal experience and are willing to share ( I promise i will not use any content without prior consent).

Here is more of the original footage of what we believe to be sasquatch surrounding my colleague, there is captured eyeshine, blinking, vocalizations and the infamous rock throw. He was up north in Michigan unloading his gear at night. He was staying up at his family Cabin for Bow Hunting. This was all recorded on the same night on a New iphone. https://youtu.be/gCT9SLQEkg4

Had a dream about 8 months ago or something but only recalled it after reading through this subreddit, and curious if relates to some kind of cryptid like a wendigo or something: Don’t remember the first section of the dream what I was doing, but there was a sense of urgency that lead me to go out into my shed in the middle of the night during a nasty storm (it was storming that night so I assume that’s where that comes from). I was trying to make or fix something in there when suddenly the wind blew the doors open and there was a deer standing parallel to me and the shed door. It was small like baby deer but had antlers and looked corpse like slightly with dead glowing eyes. It was looking at me and then stood up on its hind legs and let out this monstrous guttural screaming roar, that shook me to the bone and scared me so much I quickly woke up in sweats with an adrenaline rush. Never had another dream like that again yet, curious if this relates to some type of cryptid or if it was just some weird nightmare.

I live in Turkey. I have a summer house in a resort town. This house is in a somewhat isolated place. Last summer, I came to the summer house with my girlfriend. First we went swimming, then we watched a movie, then it started to get dark. My girlfriend was going home, the nearest bus stop was a 20-25 minute walk away.

We walked together to the bus stop. It was getting dark. We waited at the bus stop until the bus arrived. When my girlfriend got on the bus, I started walking home.

I was a little thirsty, so I got water from the gas station near the stop. Then I started walking. It was a deserted road. There were small grasses and a few trees around.

There were a lot of dogs around here. So I was looking around. Then, about 15-20 meters away from me, I saw something moving. At first I thought it was a dog. But it wasn't a dog.

İt was too tall for a dog. And he looked more like a sheep than a dog. İt also stood on two legs. İt was a little hunched over. It was really creepy. I didn't bring my phone with me because I was just going to drop my girlfriend off at the bus stop and come back. So unfortunately I couldn't take a photo.

The being I saw was slowly walking towards the small wooded area behind. I was really scared. I wanted to get out of here as soon as possible. I couldn't take my eyes off it.

I couldn't take my eyes off this human-sheep hybrid. I stared at it until it went into the woods behind. It was truly creepy.

I have no idea what this is. I was really scared. Do you have any idea what this is?

https://streamyard.com/cmpr2769k7 im live right now addressing any critics I will explain and show you whats going on.

I've started making weekly animated videos feature a cryptid of the week. Have a look and enjoy!
