This week is about Indiana’s cryptid. Indiana has fascinating cryptids, which include a demon snake. This demon snake haunts a graveyard in Evansville, Indiana. Witnesses say the demon snake has red glowing eyes and has horns on its head.  I wanted to write about the demon snake, which is an exciting story I will write ...

Hawaii is on my bucket list of places to visit: lush tropical forests; mild breezes from the ocean; an active volcano and lots of history and lore. Hawaii is overflowing with fascinating cryptids. There is Mo’o, a guardian dragon entwined with Hawaii’s culture. It is a fantastic legend, and I will write about it later. ...

Meet the Altamaha-ha, and yes, that is a mouthful. We have run the gamut in cryptids with this weekly series. There have been mothmen, devil dogs, creepy children with melon heads. We even had land whales swallowing tourists whole as it slid down the mountainside. When I research these crazy cryptids, I try and choose ...

I did it again! I had every intention to write about Florida’s cryptid this week. I had to choose between the Skunk Ape or the Wampus Cat. There are so many states that have a Big Foot type of creature. So, I went with the Florida Wampus cat. Except, it isn’t strictly a Florida cryptid. ...

I have been trying to do a cryptid for each state. Then I come across a great story, and I get sidetracked. If you are into cryptids, then you have heard of the Mothman.

Halloween is sneaking upon us, and there is nothing better than a spooky tale. This week is Delaware’s Fence Rail Dog, a legend about a black dog. Except, this tale isn’t about an average black dog. It haunts a stretch of road along Delaware’s highway 12. Known as Midstate road, it runs through Frederica and ...

There is a wide variety of cryptids existing in the United States.  Mermaids, BigFoot, Melon Heads, and even cat-like creatures. I came across the legend of Delaware’s Pukwudgie, except it isn’t just in Delaware. This myth is all across the Eastern United States and Canada. It is also too good of a story to pass ...

I love horror movies. Not the gore and slasher type movies that seem to be popular today. Genuine scary movies like the original Halloween and the remake Halloween.  The horror movie The Hills Have Eyes reminds me of this week’s cryptid article. The movie’s plot is mutant creatures created from nuclear testing. My essay is about Connecticut’s Melon Heads. The ...

Colorado is a beautiful state known for its winter activities, snow-covered trails, and pine-scented evergreen trees. The state is known for the majestic Rocky Mountains, and when you think of potential cryptid monsters? The forest is dark and scary because the sun’s light can’t penetrate the thick canopy of tall pines. Strange and fearful creatures ...

One of the best things I love about writing this Cryptid series is learning something new every time. I love the unknown, reading stories and articles about the phantoms that haunt our land.  This week in California, I expected to discover another Bigfoot-like creature. Instead, I uncover strange and mysterious figures called ‘Dark Watcher’s.’ Mysterious ...
