I saw something weird that I can't quite understand
Hello I wanna start by saying that English is not my native language and I'm writing this quite tired, so forgive me if there might be grammatical errors.
Ok so I am writing here to figure out if what I saw was a cryptid or something like that I've searched for days for something about it but found close to nothingness, it happened last week or so I was staying at a relative's house in the country side (I wanna specify I live in Italy) I was up late at night after video chatting with a friend of mine and lost track of time it was between 3 or 4 am and while getting ready to go to sleep I saw something moving fast outside the window, the only way I can describe it is some sort of cone with the pointy part cut off and a dome like thing on top of it with what I think it was a little light inside but it could also have been a reflection and 6 thin insect or spider like legs, it also had some sort of bumps or studs on its body, something like the ones the daleks from doctor who have but smaller or I think that's what they were. This thing was probably tall around 1 meter or 3 feet tall, it looked metallic but I could be wrong it wasn't very lit as there was just one street lamp and the thing wasn't very close to it and it also makes me doubt many of the details of it, this thing moved in an erratic way it wasn't going just forward it was going in all directions at different times like a insect panicking about a light being turned on or something like that and it was pretty fast too I'd say like a dog or a small animal, it zoomed around and then went out of my windows sight, I still have no idea of what it was or what it could have been. If anyone can help me out it would be helpful.

SHUNKA WARAKIN
The Ioway, and several other Native American indigenous tribes in the region of Montana, called the creature Shunka Warak’in, which translated means: 'carrying off dogs'. It was told that the beast would creep into camps at night and steal dogs.
Also known as 'Ringdocus' - The name given to an unidentified canine shot by Israel Hutchins, a Mormon settler in Montana in 1886. He had it stuffed by a local Joseph Sherwood, who put it on display at his general store near Henry's Lake, Idaho until the 1980s when it mysteriously disappeared. Though later re-discovered, the creature was displayed in the Madison Valley History Museum when it reopened in May 2007.
DNA testing has never been conducted on the animal.
Beasts that fit the description of the Shunka Warak'in / Ringdocus are still sighted to this day...
This image is also featured on the cover of David Weatherly's book: Monsters of Big Sky Country: Cryptids & Legends of Montana with a foreword by John LeMay.
The book is part of the 'Monsters of America' series... and are all available on Amazon!

The USS Stein Incident of 1978
The kraken is a beast foreign in concept to just about nobody, as all have heard tales of the wooden boats of old being snapped by such powerful creatures. But in the 1970s, a steel destroyer forged by the most powerful navy to sail the world's waters would be under attack not by the soviets, the Chinese, or not by any human force for that matter.

In China and Chile there are scarily similar reports of a cryptid that preys on people. They are massive creatures that ambush people and drink their their blood. There have been sightings of them for centuries, but is there any truth to these reports?

THE LIZARDMAN OF SCAPE ORE SWAMP.
As featured on the cover of DAVID WEATHERLY’s book -
‘PALMETTO STATE MONSTERS - CRYPTIDS & LEGENDS OF NORTH CAROLINA. With a foreword by Micah Hanks.
In the folklore of Lee County, South Carolina, the Lizard Man of Scape Ore Swamp (also known as the Lizard Man of Lee County) is an entity said to inhabit the swampland of the region. First mentioned in the late 1980s, the purported sightings and damage attributed to the creature yielded a significant amount of newspaper, radio and television publicity.
Was it a deformed or 'burn-victim-bigfoot' wearing an alligator pelt...? Or a real 'Lizard-Man'...? or was it something else entirely...?

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....?
Be sure to check out the other 'Cryptozoology' prints in this store!

Cryptids in Sevierville, TN
Hi, I am wondering if anyone can tell me what cryptids I should be aware of in Sevierville, TN close to the Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg area. We are renting a cabin in Sevierville because we are going to visit Dollywood, the Titanic museum, Wonder Works, and The Lost Sea Cave this summer.
I am from Northeast Ohio and I have visited Dollywood before back in 1995 when I was a teen, but we stayed in Pigeon Forge in a hotel. Of course, back then I only knew of the Loch Ness monster, Bigfoot, the Mothman, Chupacapbra, and the Jersey Devil. Now, there's many more thanks to YouTube.
Appreciate all the info, thank you.

SNARLY YOW T-Shirt I designed-ruindance
I run an online clothing brand called Raindance(Ignore the typo in the title), and one of the things I like to do is design shirts that represent and appreciate the weird, so cryptids are one of my favorite design subjects. The latest one I designed was this one featuring the Snarly Yow! It is one of the lesser known cryptids, but I still find it interesting, and I had fun drawing it. If you want a shirt featuring the mysterious Smoky-Black dog for yourself(or if you have any questions or whatever), check it out here https://raindanceclothing.com/store-1/snarly-yow-tee

Cryptids are narcissistic
Man…I just left 2 places in the Appalachian mountains I stayed in blue ridge GA first then headed to Franklin NC (2nd pic) and I just wanna say how unfair it is that cryptids get to live here rent free everyday while I have to work a 9-5 to get the money to stay there. And then they have the audacity to try and harass me there in the woods at night that’s some entitled ass behavior if you ask me. Everybody says “oh the being is just protecting its boundaries” man fuck your boundaries you have boundaries for miles why you mad at me for wanting to visit such a beautiful place? Cryptids are so narcissistic.

Appalachian Crawler
So last night I was camping in Big Meadows in SNP, went to take a shower and left the dogs in the car and heard barking when I got out. I saw a white large humanoid creature running by the field near the ampatheater and the dogs were going crazy, it was running on all 4s and then when it noticed me it stood upright and then disappeared into a shadow a few seconds later I see a set of what I thought were double headlamps walking about 10is feet above the ground in pitch black but they weren’t casting light, just glowing. As soon as I was able to get reception and search the things I saw it said Appalachian crawler matched it, anyone else have any encounters in the Big Meadow portion of Shenandoah National Park? Was creeped out and still am even though I came back home today.

Detective Bigfoot Halloween Special 2 (Part 2)
You might be asking why I'm posting a Halloween Special in the middle of May. Well, for those of you who haven't been paying attention, I've been reposting chapters of my old webcomic, Detective Bigfoot, here on Reddit. Thus far, I've been posting the chapters in release order, but the next chapter is what one might consider a sort of season finale. So, to put that off a little bit longer you get the Halloween Chapter I posted afterwards. So I hope you enjoy the late or early, depending on how you view it, Halloween cheer.
Also, since Reddit only allows me to post a limited number of images, I had to split this into three smaller parts. This will also be the case for the upcoming season finale.
Here is the link to all parts:
https://www.reddit.com/r/cryptids/comments/1tfqupe/detective_bigfoot_halloween_special_2_part_1/
https://www.reddit.com/r/cryptids/comments/1tfqurh/detective_bigfoot_halloween_special_2_part_2/
https://www.reddit.com/r/cryptids/comments/1tfqut0/detective_bigfoot_halloween_special_2_part_3/
Until then, as always, if you want to check out all the available chapters, check it out on Webtoon, Tapas, or on my website 1ofthemcomics.net
Be warned, strong language, imagery, and mature themes are present because I'm edgy like that.
