Thegreatsilence Posted April 22, 2013 #51 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Atmospheric monsters are a category of cryptids I really like just because they're so cool and interesting. For those who don't know, they're creatures that reportedly live high up in the air, just floating/flying. I wish there was more on them. http://mysteriousuni...onsters-attack/ http://en.wikipedia....mospheric_beast http://www.newanimal.org/a-beasts.htm Another personal favorite is globsters. (Trunko, already posted above, is a good example) They're corpses of animals that wash up. Though they're usually known animals, they're still kind of cool. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Globster http://www.strangema...erpgallery.html A bit of a tie-in to atmospheric beasts. UFH - Unidentified flying humanoids. Very interesting and creepy. http://rense.com/general66/humsan.htm http://www.cropcircl...ingHumanoid.htm I hope you enjoy these! Here's a few less well-known crypitds for you: Kungstorn, King Eagle, was a giant bird that would grab children and eat them throughout Europe back around 1830s to 1950s Monkey Man of India, also called Hanuman, terrorized alot of villages in 2001 Nepalese Dragon is a 40 to 50 foot giant snake that would suck its prey into its mouth through a powerful inhalation, only sighting of this creature was in 1980 Ropen, a pterosaur in New Guinea, that would attack natives Doubt any of them are real, but the monkey man is a interesting read. Also I know someone already said it but the loveland frog is a pretty good read too, as a few of the reports came from officers. Also if you don't mind spending some money, the book called Encyclopedia of Cryptozoology has alot of interesting cryptids, even if you don't believe in cryptids, it's a good read Thanks never heard of them, except monkey-man and ropen. The European medieval bestiary also refers to 3 beasts that seemed to be real imo : the giant deer Hippocerf, the pig-like Catoblepas and the strange canid-like Leucrocotta, which may have been the inspiration for the god Set.

Midyin Posted April 22, 2013 #54 Share Posted April 22, 2013 I think The Rake is pretty cool, but having found out the Slender Man and few other Creepy Pastas have been proven to be BS I'm not sure how real The Rake actually is.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
