I can't think of any.

Any help?

Urban Cryptoids?

Could you be a little more clear about this...

D. knows his english well but...
...never heard about "Urban Cryptoids"!

Cryptoids that lurk in urban areas. Cities, towns, ect.

Yeah now I understand...
(didn't understand the cryptoids word)
("I'm Dutch isn't that weird!"- Goldmember)

You mean which creatures would lurk into urban areas...

Well Vamp and Werewolves...
...but if I'm serious...

I would say maybe half-demons could exist in the real world...

D. is just talking stupid crap...
...just ignore him if you don't like it!

Do you mean like Spring Heeled Jack? Or am I totally missing the point?

Half demons(alternately Nephillim, cacodemons, or other lesser known names) are the spawn of a human and a demon. The most famous historical example would of course be Merlin. Demonologists believe they may still exist in the world but but they wouldn't appear any different then normal humans(in Biblical passages they were giants but that no longer seems to be the case) the main difference is in there psychology. Being born of pure evil they are from birth evil and with out consceince.

Cool. To clarify, im talking about cryptoids that lurk in urban areas. Built up or man made areas. They don't need to have a dense population.

hmmm, good question, I think the only one I can think of has already been mentioned - Spring Heeled Jack. Maybe at a stretch you could also include the creature that left mysterious footprints one night (somewhere in the southwest UK I believe), that went on for miles, over rooftops and over some pretty awkward obstacles.

*puts thinking cap on*

I will have to look further into this one

My -ex still lurks around town.
He qualifies... right?

Theres been stories of the Moth man being in urban areas..same with Chupa

what a bout bubba the 23 pound lobster fron arizona. does he count?

Yeah, in fact the mothman is rarely seen to far away from urban places.

????????????????? um, what? im not sure what story you are referring to, but please to be elaborating, i would love to know where you got that idea.

( you do also realize that merlin wasn't/isn't real, and therfore does not qualify as a "historical example" )

I thought Merlin was a wizard in King Arthur's court...not a half demon...

Re-Edited and shifted down the block aways! Thank you for your patronage!

There are some "phantom" animals reported in cities. They're usually named "phantom" because they seem to disappear.
Google Time!

I'm suprised no one mentioned the Jersey Devil.
Especially you Walken, being an X-Files fan.

How about the crazy lady who talks to herself? sounds mysterious to me.

Here is a first-order urban cryptid. This is no April Fools (or Hallowe'en) joke. What it is - is one scary entity. This is the cryptid other cryptids kowtow to. It can rip the doors off anything or anyone! As humans we are WAY, WAY - out of our league! It's an extremely powerful psychic fiend that can appear in various different guises - usually as a face-less monk or possibly as a trenchcoat mafia hitman type - again no face! I call IT an intra-terrestrial. It knows your name and "speaks" to you loud and clear in very abrupt telepathic fashion. This in plain English.

I had the displeasure of making it's acquaintance. I have no idea how I managed to survive my encounter - very very biocidal vampiric creature. Check this story - mine is similar (except worse!) Woman Confronts Attackers Pure Evil. My friend also encountered it. It was not a pleasant experience.

Lots of people are reporting this marauding malevolence. Google for (sleep paralysis +hooded) It's no mass hallucination nor is it due to REM sleep disturbance - I honestly wish it were! This is an external manifestation! As mere mortals we are absolutely defenseless against this hyper-intelligent, monstrously evil entity!

Historically known as the Genii Cucullati (Hooded Wizard!) Characterized as "Ghost of Christmas Future" in Charles Dickens: A Christmas Carol. Very morose - strictly business-type character. Unbelievably evil and unbelievably powerful. It knows the "password" into the human psyche. You are paralysed in its presence and your respiration is suspended - not difficult but rather impossible to breathe. Your breathing is somehow switched off when in its presence. Strange sort of paralysis - you typically can move your head but nothing below the neck-line plus no yelling for help! Not a peep! In the later stage of your encounter it becomes impossible to move your head - only your eyes! Very near death situation - you are absolutely in a suspended state of affairs! This paralysis can occurr in ufo and other cryptid/ghostly encounters. It has to do with the human DNA hyper-dimension. You have absolutely no "say" in the matter. You can work out on steroids for the rest of your life - makes no difference - it's the boss and it will stand you on your head. Very strange "metrics" in these encounters. Some people don't make it - read about the Hmong tribe and SUNDS - also implicated (anecdotaly) in SIDS

HaHa !
We got one of them that hangs around the local shops...shes a complete nutter...
She stands around...outside Seriously chatting to herself, and every person that walks past she asks for a ciggerette (sp?) even if shes already smoking one....
She is a wierd one to say the least.

I walked past her once and she was talking to herself (facing the other way) talking about how her son is coming over in a few weeks...i was just thinking .Wtf.

I believe that was the Jersey Devil, Hoagy. Hoofprints everywhere, I've seen it before but can't find it...

No, the one Hoagy is referring to isn't the Jersey Devil. JD is in the States, he's referring to an historic Brit mystery that's never been solved. It's known as the mystery of the Devil in Devon. Here's a site that tells all about it:
Devil in Devon


As for Merlin, Geoffrey of Monmouth created Merlin by combining a sixth or seventh century Welsh bard named Myrddin with tales told about a boy named Ambrosius or Emrys.Merlin

Edit: Fixed links.

Where did you think the powers came from...

D. knows a lot...
...he's a genius!

Oh yeah! Who could forget the jersy devil?!

In my defence, he is a lesser known cryptid.

And I haven't watched series 1 in ages.

Phantom Kangaroos, I can see in the states and else where that would be odd, but hell at my parents property we have hundreds of the buggas, in broad daylight too!

My take on these guys, shine a light in their eyes, they glow red, (DEMON EYES)
corner a kangaroo and with one kick its claws can disembowl you, Kangaroos hiss by sucking air through the front incisors and make grunting, thumping and many other freaky noises you hear in the middle of the bush.

Take a few facts and that 6 foot, red eyed, hissing, jumping demon you saw, is an escaped roo from the local zoo.

And in full hop they travel at about 20 to 30 mp/h.

Are you seriouse? ...or are you makeing fun of me?

Uh the Jersey Devil isn't really urban. ITs almost exclusively seen in or around the area known as the Pine Barrens. This is a fairly desolate wooded area in South Jersey with a few small towns. Its not praticularly highy developled.

well where i live... there are a few.. well...like the scroggin monster... which could well be real.. i mean it supposibly lives in the like most pouted river in maine...so it could just be some mutated toxic fish monster majiggy...then i think in northern town ive heard a little of a maine bigfoot which lives near the little urban areas but i have only heard of them once or twice......and then do the like aligators in the sewers of like new york NY count.....i mean sure you could find lots.. not many that make lots of sence but there has to be some out there since there is so much urban area now...

If it was "Urban", wouldn't they be discovered?

spring heeled jack? whats that?

first of all, I live in New York and no, sewer crocs don't count!
( Im not really angry ive just always wanted to use that smily )
it is a well known fact, even in science that they exist.

I have heard of reports from an african city (I can't remember which one) of a green, scaly, repilian humanoid that comes out at night murdering random people and rap**** any women who might walk into a dark ally.

Don't blame me for the darkness of this story, I just herd it somewhere on the web.

Check these sites out, might be able to help you. I'm not exactly and cleary sure what your trying to discuss so I'm just providing random crypto. sites...

i think thats a big fat hoax! jeez reptilian humanoids. Oh im not making fun of you just the thought of the story

Thanks for your help evreyone!

Spring-heeled Jack would be a ghost, or an alien depending on who you talk to.
Or mass halucination if you ask me.

Of course the other "Jack" was much more deadly, and believable.

www.snopes.com has debunked sewer crocs.

Cool, gotta remember that for the next time I babysit. Tell them a scary story and they are good the rest of the night.

Babysitting whilst telling scary stories is great!

Though a majority of the people who witnessed spring heeled jack, they said it was a human, a human with awesome powers that could jump higher than any other human...

I'd have to say though its a total hoax - To show yourself in public and the fact that you can jump twenty feet high in the air - I don't know ...

Reptilian humanoids as fake as vampires.IT'S ALL A LOAD OF CRAP.

Technically speaking, and in the literal and origonal sense, vampires do exsist. That would mean reptillian humanoids also exsist.

Ever heard of snake boy?

Do you really believe in vampires?

I have seen people who try to imitate and make their bodies look like a snake (just like the man who tried ot make himself look like a lizard - tatoo his whole body with scales, cut his tongue into a lizard-like tongue, cut his teeth triangluar, piercings)

Some people are just...

No I don't believe in Vampires... although there is an FBI report worried about the exsitence of Vampires in America. There are sicko's that call them selves Vampires. I don't think also that Spring heel Jack is a Ghost as to my knowledge Ghosts don't leave foot prints??

I am pretty certain also that serwer crocs could not survive for any lentgh of time down there.

all i know is that none live near my place thank goodness.

Haa, I can totally agree




The FBI received a letter about the government warning them about the true existence of vampires and how their roaming on our city streets... It was proved to be fakely written and cleverly delivered. And Spring Heel Jack, that story just can't satisfy me at all. Sounds like a load of ....... Sewere Crocs usually in a case were freshly put down their to scare or just some strange random events. I'll get more information on the sewer crocs later.

Cryptoids would be in refrence to cryptozooaligy. You would be talking about stuff like gaint rats, Ghost wolfs, bigfoot, and the aligator people who live in developed areas. That dose not include feirys and the sort like the boggy man, sprites, pixes, nixes, and ect... the truth is that devolped places would be more intuned to ghosts or spirits. However things like ghost wolves witch are reported to only be seen during heavy fogs or the such and are saposed to be highly inteligent. There are reports of bears in the middle of citys that just suddenly disapear around corners but that is most likely shapechangers but im not going into that.

The only one around here in Baltimore I can think of is the goat man. Suppossed to be some kind of genetic experiment gone wrong or something like that depending on who you talk to.

Oh! and there was some sort of wierd dog that looked like a hybrid of wolf and hyena that was terrorizing people also. I have to borrow my friends Strange Maryland book or whatnot for more.
