CRYPTIDS

Run.

One thing that I've always found so interesting about cryptids is the fact that, to me, they represent America in a non-traditional way. Not the burger car culture hell scape that we think of it, but the strange, unknown of the forests, of the perils that come with being a farmer, the idea of being a foreigner in a place that is decidedly not your land. Cryptids as a concept are so intrisically tied to the American identity that I really don't think any "cryptid" from outside of the United States should be classified as a cryptid at all.

Right now this page is very much a filler, but my favorite cryptids are the Flatwoods Monster, Mothman, and the Churubusco Turtle!! Expect some fuck ass creepy guys (gender-neutral. cryptids are non-binary and we all know it) whenever I get around to making an actual thing.
