Video of an alleged humanoid being in Managua, Nicaragua supposedly online since July 2015

The being appears in the last 8 seconds or so. Found this on X. I will post a link in the comments. Has anyone seen this before? I honestly don’t know if I had seen it prior to this twitter post so I’m wondering if anyone else can confirm it was around 10 years ago. Happy American Independence Day y’all!

Edit: the term “Chupacu de Goianinha” has been used for this creature and the video does indeed date back at least 10 years, at least based on comments posted here and some stuff online.

The Dover Demon.

On the 21st of April in 1977, William "Bill" Bartlett, who was 17 at the time, made the claim that while he was driving, he saw a large-eyed creature "with tendril-like fingers" and glowing eyes on top of a broken stone wall on Farm Street in Dover, Massachusetts.
John Baxter, who was 15 years old, also reported seeing a similar creature on Miller Hill Road that same evening. Abby Brabham, also 15 years old, claimed to have seen the creature on Springdale Avenue, the following night.
The teenagers all drew sketches of the alleged creature. Bartlett wrote on his sketch, "I, Bill Bartlett, swear on a stack of Bibles that I saw this creature." According to the Boston Globe Newspaper, "the locations of the sightings, plotted on a map, lay in a straight line over 2 miles".
It has been suggested that the creature could have been a moose calf or perhaps even a horse foal. Local police told the associated press that the creatures reported by the teenagers "were probably nothing more than a school vacation hoax."
Loren Coleman who interviewed all witnesses at the time, coined the name 'The Dover Demon' and to this day, quite rightly maintains that this 'creature' is still considered to be, an 'unknown'.

Giant sea serpent? caught on weather camera during storm at Lake Michigan.

A possible capture of a giant snake like creature caught washed ashore and trying to fight against the tide at Lake Michigan during a severe storm caught on a weather cam. A tornado hit the area back in 2020 causing severe weather warnings and danger to life, was this a giant sea creature caught up in the choppy waters? It moves like it’s alive and fighting against the waves.

The Texas Pterosaur

Here's my rendition of the Texas Pterosaur - (human-made artwork - NON-A.I.)

These flying reptiles, named 'Ropens' by some, are seen in several places around the globe to this day... Some are reported to be seen flying around in Cuba, some in Papa New Guinea... Many variations of these 'living pterosaurs' are reported from all over the United States.

This print depicts one of the many 'Texas Pterosaur' sightings as described by a variety of people... some as recently as 2017.

This is a particular favourite subject of mine... living dinosaurs and their cousins!

Have you seen one?
What do you suppose it could be if not a pterosaur....?

Is anything real to you?

I come to this subreddit because I'm fascinated by the possibility of strange, unknown species. There's a lot of fakes here, of course, but also a lot of interesting material. However, they all have one thing in common: idiotic comments.

Is anyone here actually interested in this topic? Does anyone believe that creatures unknown to official science exist? I have the impression that 90% of people here don't give a damn and just make a fool of themselves. I'd like to read some interesting comments and analyses, but the vast majority are just memes, jokes, and mockery. I'm so tired of it. And it's not just this subreddit. People are becoming more and more idiotic, and they're even happy about it.

Thoughts on Jba Fofi?

This to me is one of the most fascinating Cryptids. When interview interviewed, local tribes in the Congo, basically unanimously agree that this creature had existed. However, the most recent interviews seem to have a pattern that the species that they have encountered in the past are becoming less and less prevalent, and some say that their grandfather’s generation were the last to see them.

There have been few western sightings of this creature, and very shaky video evidence has been presented, but idk… something about the detail about the entire life cycle, hunting habits, and appearance of the creature by locals makes me want to believe this was a real thing. Scientists essentially say that it is physically impossible for a spider to grow that large due to their physiology.

Can anybody offer any insight or their thoughts on this extremely enigmatic Cryptid?

This hunter filmed something creepy hiding in the crops.

A hunter was drawn to some strange noises whilst out alone, he filmed a strange creature stalking him from a field of crops, he uploaded it to show what he caught and see if anyone could explain it, the creature looks like its camouflaging into its surroundings, it looks completely demonic and kind of looks like the head of what people describe the jersey devil to look like, there’s definitely more to nature than we understand.

So what do you think the Bodette film showed?

Prehistoric turtle as unlikely as it sounds? Long eel or a softshell turtle? Gar fish? I don't think this is a hoax. It's clearly something alive the fishermen saw. It's even been reviewed by FBI investigators and they say it's authentic.
