Skin-walker

Have you heard of Skin-walker? Perhaps yes, because this monster is very common in many countries under different names!

What is the Skin-walker?

It is just a creature which can take several forms, it can take a human form and also possesses the person’s behaviors as well. The legend of this creature exists since many centuries, ancient civilizations fully believed in it like the Native Americans. The creature looked scary, hairy and could kill a person to steal his/her identity.

Cryptid?

When you think of Skin-walker, no doubt you may think of Werewolf, Jersey Devil, Moth-man, Thunderbird, and other mysterious creatures. In fact, Werewolves will correspond a bit more the Skin-walker than other cryptid. A legend revealed that the Skin-walker looked more like an animal, a hairy one, thus, there is a greater chance it looked like a wolf, bear or other hairy creatures.

Myth!

Native Americans used to believe in superstitions. Take example of Thunderbird, it was just a myth! It is highly possible there is no such creature like Skin-walker at all! Seeing is believing, it will be difficult to believe in such mythology because it is too fantasy! Superstitions are created from misunderstanding and paranoia. Then they are transmitted to each other. This is how the Skin-walker perhaps had been born.

Conclusion

To conclude on this matter, there is no such creature like the Skin-walker! No evidence exists!

Vampire

Do vampires exist? No doubt you have asked this question in your life at least once, particularly after watching a good movie or reading an amazing novel on it!

A cryptid or what?

How to classify a vampire, a cryptid or something else? Well, you remember werewolf? There is a post on it which you can read and werewolf has similar characteristics of a vampire, except the person transforms into a wolf and search for blood. A vampire is normally where a person kills to suck blood. Hence, a vampire must be considered as a cryptid.

Myth and disease

To be short, vampires are just a myth! They do not exist at all! However, there is a kind of “vampire” which exists and it is not considered as a cryptid! A very rare and dangerous disease called Porphyria, may be one of the origins of the vampires you see in movies. It is a disease which manifests after you have been exposed massively in the sun. As vampires in mythologies cannot resist the sun, so the same for people who have Porphyria, they should avoid sun rays at any cost else the consequences will be dramatic to their health!

Moreover, in ancient civilizations, this myth of vampire existed! This has been transmitted from generations to generations, had been modified many times and finally, we know what it is today! For example before, vampires could transform themselves to other creatures, then we knew vampires killed by biting the neck to drink the blood, today vampires have changed! For someone to drink human blood, no doubt he/she has mental illness. It is the same as a cannibal, who will kill without mercy to eat human organs. This kind of people exist but extremely few today!

Vampires are often associated in Satanic rituals or any black magic séance. It has been reported some persons who are involved in dark activities, often kill animals by biting them to have their blood!

Conclusion

As conclusion, if you dream to be a vampire, sorry, but this cryptid does not exist, in fact it is a myth! Normally, we do not know if a cryptid exists or not, while vampire, we know it does not exist except the one from Porphysia or someone who is a cannibal.

Werewolf

In many countries, we hear all sorts of monsters and dangerous creatures such as Chupacabra, Mothman, etc. These unknown creatures are called cryptid. In many solved and unsolved mysteries, we find different cryptid. Today, we will discuss the Werewolf.

Curse, transformation and blood

Perhaps you have read books or watch movies or have heard someone talked about it, but the Werewolf is a cryptid which exists in many countries under different names. Based on the legend, a Werewolf is normally a human being who was cursed and at full moon, the person transforms to a wolf, searching for blood. A Werewolf is described as a long creature, red eyes, thick skin and looks scary. It attacks for blood, then the other day, it becomes a normal human being. The origin of Werewolf is dated since long time ago. It has different attributes among countries.

Evidence?

There is absolutely no evidence to support the existence of a Werewolf. It is completely nonsense to believe a human being transforms to a wolf in full moon then kills people for blood. It is a pure invented legend like any monster in mythologies. Some believe a Werewolf is a genetic engineering product from alien beings, again, no evidence to support this.

Does this mean Werewolf does not exist? Well, the Werewolf where a human transforms to a killer wolf does not exist at all! We have no evidence for that. However, a giant wolf can exist, and it could be some people misinterpreted it to a monster, then the legend was born!

Conclusion

The conclusion is simple. Werewolf does not exist! Nevertheless, a big wolf can exist which is completely different from the former.

Yeti

If you are a lover of cryptid, Yeti will interest you. This cryptid is a bit well-known in the world of mysteries, and it does have its importance to form part.

Bigfoot’s cousin?

Have you heard about Bigfoot? If yes, then probably you must know Yeti a little because they both share mostly the same descriptions: a tall creature, just like a gorilla, a bit scary due to its size. However, Yeti is from Asia, particularly in the Himalayan regions, while Bigfoot is from North America.

The Yeti is also known as snowman and was considered as a “demi-God” by some Tibetans as well very long time ago. Based on the statements we have on it, many persons have seen foot prints, about 30 centimeters long and about 10-15 centimeters wide.

Most of the Yeti sightings came from the Mount of Everest. Hikers and mountain climbers were often the main witnesses. We do not have any record that Yeti has killed or injured any living being.

Yeti, debunked?

We do not have any concrete evidence Yeti existed or still exists. Most featherweight evidences are either foot prints or sightings. They are not credible at all. Some claim they encountered the creature, others say they analyzed a hair sample and found no DNA match, however, all these statements have been debunked later. The hair for instance came from a bear in that region. We have more supports this creature is a myth or simply misinterpreted. The sightings could be bear or any ape.

Conclusion

The Himalayan regions are immense, it will be difficult to install camera or trap. Just like other cryptid, the Yeti also goes the same, a mystery! No evidence has been found today to say the creature exists. In fact, all the so-called “evidences” have been debunked.

Jersey devil

Jersey Devil

Recently we discussed Chupacabra, a famous cryptid originated in the South American regions. The series of cryptid continues, today, we will debate the Jersey devil, and try to find out if it existed or not!

Not the hockey league, but a monster!

New Jersey, United States, recognized for its various sports teams like the National Hockey League and others. Some centuries ago, the New Jersey’s inhabitants faced a real disturbance with fear in their life. It had been reported, many persons saw a monster, scary in appearance with wings and horns, used to fly at night and killed farm animals. They named it, the Jersey Devil!

The origin of Jersey Devil varies, but folklorists think it is from a woman who was considered as a witch in the middle of 1700s. It is believed the woman had 12 children, and her 13th one would be a devil. After she gave birth of the 13th child, the legend said later the baby became a monster. Other schools of thought believe it was originated in the end of 1800s.

Any evidence?

Even hundreds of people claimed to encounter the Jersey devil, there is no concrete evidence it really existed! Subjective experiences are difficult to prove, even you were with many persons. Nobody had caught the creature. Folklorists think the legend is nothing but an invented one to spread fear in the area.

Conclusion

We cannot go further in this topic because we lack evidence and concrete facts. It is difficult to find a rational explanation in the existence of Jersey Devil. The topic is a bit different from Chupacabra, debated on this blog recently. A Chupacabra could be misinterpreted as other animals, but for the Jersey Devil, even vultures, eagles and other large flying creatures will not be appropriate to match. Can we say it existed? No! The only answer is it was a tale, because all facts of its origin are pointed that the legend was purely an invention from the local inhabitants.

Chupacabra

Just imagine you are a farmer who have a dozen of animals: cattle, hens, etc. One morning you wake up to see your animals, to your utter amazement, you find all dead. You start panicking, you think someone killed them, but your neighbor tells you, it is the Chupacabra which is responsible for everything!

What is Chupacabra?

The Chupacabra is considered as a cryptid, in proper terms, a creature which is still unknown to science. The first time we have heard about it was in the middle of 1990s, where some inhabitants in Puerto Rico, discovered that many of their pets and farm animals were dead in a mysterious way.

According to some witnesses, they saw the creature was quite big, with thorns on its back, red eyes, very ugly and scary, and could fly from branches to branches. The Chupacabra attacked only animals. It has been reported that all these animals were dead with severe mutilations. What is strange, it gave the impression their body was mutilated by someone who is a professional in surgical.

More of its sightings were recorded in other Central American and North  American countries.

Evidence, bring it!

The only evidence was from witnesses and they are not credible! A paranormal researcher even tried to capture the creature by placing some molds which he got several results. Nevertheless, it is said all his tests were debunked as fake. A farmer thought he shot a Chupacabra with his gun at night but the latter successfully escaped. On the next day, he saw some vultures in a crop, he stopped to see what was that and he saw it was the same creature he shot the other day. He brought it to the local university for further examinations, the result came out, it was just a dog.

There is no credible evidence how was the Chupacabra looked like. In fact, people did not know what really killed their animals, a word just appeared, and they called it Chupacabra without knowing what it was. Superstitions are common in these countries, hence, all sorts of thing were invented to get attention which have made many scared.

Experts argued the Chupacabra was nothing but a stray dog, coyote or other carnivore animal. Other schools of thought said, the animals died in natural conditions, and they even proved that these mutilations have been done by meat flies, maggots and worms. These little creatures can eat flesh rapidly and clean the blood as well.

Extraterrestrial beings, Satanic rituals and genetic engineering

We must not forget Puerto Rico has the Arecibo radar dish, to search for extraterrestrial life. It has been reported, some Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs) often passed before each attack of Chupacabra. The local inhabitants thought that the animals may have been killed by aliens for testings.

Satanic rituals were on the table among the possible causes of these barbaric attacks. Local citizens thought perhaps these animals were killed by Satan worshipers. Witchcraft is common in Central American countries.

Finally, some paranormal researchers thought perhaps the government was working on a secret project based on genetic engineering. The government modified the genes of some animals to create a monster.

Conclusion

Something or someone killed these animals, we all agree with this! However, which or who committed these atrocities? We do not know! We cannot rely on superstitions from the local inhabitants because they did not know what caused everything, they just thought it was a monster. Based on the scientific claims and theories, there is a greater chance these animals were killed by stray dogs or natural conditions. Even that, the mystery continues…

The Yeti Mystery

Do you know Yeti? It is among the most debated cryptids in the world! Originated in the Himalayan regions, Yeti is similar to Big Foot, a white ape-being!

If you do a deep research on internet, you will find little information on Yeti, very weird, as it is among the most popular cryptids we have in this world. It goes without saying that scientific evidences are non-existent for Yeti, in fact for science, it is just a legend invented by the local citizens of the respective Himalayan areas. Apart from that, historians believe the cryptid may be from some religions existed some decades ago as believers used to pray a God similar like it! Whether it exists or not, Yeti will remain a good mystery in this world.

Chupacabra Mystery

Chupacabra

Chupacabra is a cryptid originated in North and Latin American countries which an unknown creepy creature resembles like a lizard or dog and used to create havoc by killing animals such as chickens, goats and so on.

Chupacabra is said to have enormous pines on its back, big eyes, and really bizarre in its size. This legend started creating a disaster in 1995 in a Latin American country where several animals were killed. More cases followed after that accident, what is surprising, this so-called ‘cursed dog’ creature made its apparition in other American countries. Some farmers and hunters tried to capture it which sometimes uneasy, however, a hunter did successfully manage to catch one, where the body has been sent for investigation in a biological laboratory. After immense research on this creature, biologists found a conclusion that it was coyote which has been suffered with severe mange, a skin disease that makes animal lose their fur.

Even after finding a scientific conclusion what was really the creature, more reported cases have been increased in years. Chupacabra, a legend or reality, it remains a mystery!

Jersey Devil Mystery!

Many cryptids have been discussed so far on this blog, today, let’s discuss the Jersey Devil, another scary creature which had ruined many inhabitants’ life of New Jersey in the United States!

The Jersey Devil was described as a flying creature just like a dragon with hooves, with quite long legs and wings resembled like a bat. All happened in the 1730s where a prostitute was pregnant for the 13rd time, and cursed the baby in her womb to be a devil. There are hundreds of theories to determine the origin of the Jersey Devil have been recorded, hence, we are not sure if it began from that woman or not. Even after many years, several New Jersey citizens encountered the creature, in fact, a reward has been imposed to capture it but until today, no one has successfully accomplished the job.

When we talk on Jersey devil, we think also Bigfoot, Loch Ness monster and other legendary creatures. No doubt, the Jersey devil was the same, a pure hoax and superstition created many years ago. No such solid evidences were recorded of its existence.

BigFoot Mystery!

 

Bigfoot is one among the best popular cryptids which exists. Originated from North America, one of the countries in the world which has the famous cryptids known like Mothman, Chupacabra and others.

The creature Bigfoot is like a giant ape which has been seen many times in some densely American forests. It is very hairy, walk like a gorilla but based on some reports, it is not a monster which has killed or injured people. In fact, it has been reported that Bigfoot always neglects human beings…

The first sighting had been occurred around the beginning of 1900s, since that, more sightings have been reported. Bigfoot is not a creature which is known only in United States, in other countries similar creatures have been seen and they are usually known in different names like the Yeti.

The existence of such a creature is debatable. Scientists do not believe in Bigfoot, it is crystal clear that this monster has been misinterpreted. Perhaps it was a normal big gorilla which was seen and not a giant ape creature like the Bigfoot. Moreover, hoaxes are easily created. The more superstitions we share, the more this myth will turn to reality in the head of many persons. Actually, there is no proper evidence of its existence; even hundreds of photos are circulating on the web. We cannot approve the authenticity of these photos; they are absolutely fake or manipulated with advanced graphic software. There are also some organizations which place immense emphasis to search this creature again; many people have devoted their life to search the truth but in vain! The surprising fact, a man who was a security guard in many forests for more than 20 years admitted that he created several fake Bigfoot’s foot prints to make people believe in the existence of the creature.

Such a creature can exist, but it is mostly a big gorilla here! Have you encountered a Bigfoot? Share with us!
