PS. Hello again, my fellow Antitheocrans (and others)!

I’d also like to thank you all for the trust and votes for this third term of mine. (I meant to address you earlier but was waiting to hear back from others.) The competition was luckily a little tighter than last term, and I certainly hope it continues to be so in the future. The more people we have interested in the politics and atmosphere of the site, the better. Regardless of that however, let’s have a wonderful, event-filled spring together! Truly, thank you people <3

Okay I am VERY passionate about cryptids, so I'm going to tell you about an obscure favorite of mine !!

So like in 1930s England, there was this family called the Irvings. They lived out on a family farm near the Isle of Man, and they were pretty normal (or at least, the lack of any kind of information about them before this point leads us to believe that they were pretty normal), and then one day they hear a bunch of scratching and speaking coming from inside their walls. They set a bunch of traps, tried scaring the thing by banging pots and pans, the works, but whatever was in their walls was determined to stay.

For like weeks and weeks they heard growling, banging, and also sounds like a baby crying coming from their walls, which eventually developed into baby babbling and then full speech. One of the kids actually started telling the thing to repeat nursery rhymes and stuff and it did! And then, weirdly enough, it came out of their walls and it was a fucking mongoose.

The mongoose introduced itself as Gef (pronounced like jeff) and... just kinda hung out? It told them it was from India, that it was like 60 years old, and that it was a fucking weirdo. He would say stuff like "I'm a ghost in the form of a mongoose" or "I am a freak" or "I could kill you all, but I won't" and for some reason when word spread to the town everyone just believed them? And also were really into this mongoose? 

A bunch of journalists and psychics and stuff came to the farm house to investigate and it absolutely BLEW UP in the tabloid press, like this was a genuine hit across England, but nobody got any pictures or anything. There were however footprints, hair samples, and some accounts from reporters who claimed to have seen him.

Anyways, he would basically just walk around the island collecting useless tidbits of gossip and singing raunchy versions of home on the range and then heading home to the farm. We really don't know how his story ends because he fell out of the tabloids and then there's really no record anymore :(

It's an absolutely wild case, but also very fun. Lemon Demon made a song called 8th Wonder about Gef, and there was a book published about him in like 2014 I think. Overall a very fun case that was probably fake but is buck wild and kind of amazing? Gef isn't super well known, so I'm so glad I got the chance to talk about him! He is so silly and I <3 him. Hopefully I made it interesting :33

I want to share a cryptid that i don't think anyone will be too familiar with beyond a coincidental name! Nessie--but not from Lochness. Nessie, the Yaquina Bay Sea Monster from the coast of Oregon (in the United States).

Statues of Nessie depict a Kronosaurus queenslandicus, a real but long extinct pliosaur, which had a 12 foot head stuffed with 9 inch teeth. Two creatures fitting this description were sighted in 1935, said to be feeding on local sea life just off the coast. This sighting led to the statues, but the story was later muddled when this guy John Tharp made up a new story about Nessie being caught in 1992. Now a lot of folks associate Nessie with Tharp's weird story rather than the true 1935 sighting.

I used to live on the Oregon coast and remember thinking it was weird to call the monster Nessie when that name is clearly taken lol, but I think it might be Tharp's fault that we call it Nessie as well! I wish Tharp had never come up with his own story because he robbed most people of the knowledge that there were TWO of the creatures sighted together!!! Two extinct creatures turned cryptid besties!!!!

This is the excuse I was looking for to share with everyone my favorite funky little guy; Bunny Many <3

He's based in north Virginia with the first sighting in 1903/1904 and depending on who tells the story he's either a humanoid bunny that escaped after being developed in a facility or a crazy man who escaped an asylum and dresses up as a bunny. Most sightings occur at the Colchester Overpass, nicknamed Bunny Man Bridge for obvious reasons. 

The cryptid does actually have a real, but kind of boring story behind the only verifiable encounter. To quote Brian Conley: “Someone appeared very quickly, yelled something having to do with trespassing, and threw a hatchet at the car. They did not get a very good look at the person. All they really got was ‘dressed in white or light-colored clothing, and may or may not have had something on his head.'”

All I want is justice for my scrunkly little lad, the Bunny Man ( ˘ ³˘)♥

omg yesss gef the talking mongoose!! <3

So the most obscure one I can think of is the "Melon Heads". They're basically feral children/mutants with bulbous heads, purportedly because of hydrocephalus (or because...~spooky~ reasons like experiments or cannibalism or the supernatural). Like the bunny man, they escaped/were released from an asylum (or prison or mansion...which of course ~has never existed in that place~) and live in the woods. Where they will attack you! Like the bunny man, again haha, they sort of toe the cryptid/urban legend line, and are associated with roadside attacks. You can find them in Ohio, Michigan, and oddly Connecticut

Please allow me to introduce you to my all time favourite cryptid: the squonk 
 
Originating in Northen Pennsylvania in the Hemlock forests with rumours of the creature and alleged sightings dating back to the late 19th century, during the Height of the Hunting and Timber industry in the area.The first recorded written account of a squonk wasn't until 1910. 


the Squonk is described as a hideous creature with saggy Ill-fitting skin covered in warts, the Squonk is apparently aware of it's own hideous appearance and as a result spends its time hiding from plain sight and crying. many people over the years have tried catching the Squonk but have found the creature has one very strange ability. it can sob so much it quite literally dissolves into a puddle of tears. there is one account where a man tried to bring a squonk he had managed to catch in a bag home when suddenly the weeping stopped and the bag felt light. upon opening the bag it was empty only damp with the remaining tears of the Squonk.

 to me at least the Squonk is a BIG mood

One kind of cryptid I find super interesting are Grunches (also known as the Grunch Road Monster). They’re similar to chupacabra but they originate from around New Orleans instead of Latin America. The name comes from a “lover’s lane” called Grunch Road (in between the Gulf and the Mississippi River).

WENDIGO/WINDIGO
A windigo (or wendigo) is a supernatural being belonging to the spiritual traditions of Algonquian-speaking First Nations in North America. They invoke feelings of hunger or greed and creates a desire to cannibalise. It looks emancipated with flesh stretched over protruding bones, they usually have deer skulls/antlers and smell like rotting flesh. They typically live in the forests of colder climate, and show up when one is close to death. The story served as a cautionary tale to keep children from straying into the forest. Humans who are overcome by greed can often turn into wendigos thus, the myth serves as a method of encouraging cooperation and moderation.

Looking for something a bit more Creature from the Black Lagoon? The Charles Mill Monster might be more your cryptid. Reports of a huge, armless, humanoid with glowing green eyes, known to leave tracks near the shore have been happening since 1959.

The Charles Mill Monster has been spotted throughout Mansfield's Charles Mill Lake.
