“In 1981, an arcade in the Portland, Oregon area was the scene of countless gamers coming down with migraines, heart attacks, addiction, seizures, strokes, and even amnesia, all due to one game cabinet: Polybius. The game itself was said to have been created by an unknown government agency to test mind control technology on unsuspecting civilians. It worked — almost too well. Or so the legend goes….

Severed hands on a post in the countryside… It’s better to keep going.
Drawing over photos to make the creepy is one of my favorite things to do

Okay, I have this vague memory from a long time ago of an episode of some Urban Legends or Beyond Belief show where there’s like this woman (I think with dark hair, maybe in a red dress) and she gets into this car that’s haunted or possessed by a ghost that’s jealous? and as she’s putting on lipstick, the car starts playing music on its own, and the car kills her somehow. I have no idea if this episode exists, or what show it’s from, probably ca. 2005, give or take
If anyone knows what show this is, and what episode, let me know I’m not imagining this whole thing
Hey my fellow cryptid fans
Stop calling indigenous religious figures/mythology or racist depictions of native/indeginous peoples cryptids. They are not cryptids and they aren’t ours to search for or depict in our media.
The Maricoxi isn’t just a sasquatch. It’s how a colonizer depicted natives of the amazon jungle; as monstrous monkey men. Since then the term “Maricoxi” has been used by other racist folks to refer to tribal peoples as “savages”, I don’t think we can use it anymore as a variety of hominid/sasquatch.
Spirit animals, the skinwalkers, thunderbirds, bashees, and windigos are all appropriations of figures of indigenous folklore, story telling, or religion. If you aren’t from a native people who used these figures in your culture; stop depicting them as monstrous cryptids with no nuance and recognition of the stories and cultures they come from.
Those are only a few I know about. DO YOUR RESEARCH CRYPTID LOVERS! It’s far harder to be racist as a white American when depicting American cryptids than ones of other cultures because bigfoot doesn’t have a cultural background or religious meaning to butcher.
