What’s the Creepy Cryptid From Your Area?

Posted on October 30, 2024 by Charles Yallowitz

So, I’ve shown a bunch of strange and obscure cryptids this month.  At least, they were obscure to me.  That got me thinking about how people might know about one cryptid and take it as common knowledge.  Yet, nobody knows … Continue reading →
