Day 14 - Cryptid In 1811, the explorer David Thompson was responsible for finding the footprints of the 'Sasquatch' with other vague discoveries and mysteries following with 1967 in Northern California with the infamous, albiet incredibly blurry photo of the legendary Bigfoot. SInce then, they've been on media of all kinds, with hunters searching the entire northwestern regions of America looking for a glimpse of the famous beast. Admittedly, I just think they aren't big on attention. (or it was a suit.)
Day 13 - Urban In 1935, it was claimed in East Harlem that an 8-foot Alligator inside of their sewer systems, which was publicized intensely and spawned the claim and urban legend that there's Alligators all across NYC's underbelly, along with spawning the same rumours in other cities aswell. According to old stories, they were flushed down to the sewers, and found each other, quickly bonding with one another soon after to thrive. Realistically, the sewers arent healthy enough to have any fully grown alligators roaming underneath, especially in Manhattan. But there's been reports of rescuing small babies, so perhaps this is one of the most believable?
Day 11 - UFO Easiest to guess prompt yet! Did you know, the first recorded sight of any UFO was actually back in 1665! A swarm of birds transformed into a spinning saucer above St. Nicholas church and commencing an air battle. However, as almost everyone knows now, the most famous alien/ufo sighting is the 1947 Roswell, New Mexico crash. Despite likely being a weather balloon, it spawned a craze of extraterrestial life shifting the sci-fi genre and cryptid believers forever with the promise of life out in the stars. They probably exist, but might not be visiting anytime soon.
Day 9 - Whiskers The chupcabra, claimed to have been found in Puerto Rico, Mexico and USA first seen in 1995. This monster is typically described to be very similar to canines however it's also known for vampire-like attacks on cattle, particularly goats and sheep in the farmlands. It's very likely the chupacabra, on multiple occaisons they were simply loose, malnourished coyotes which is the most popular theory. (On a personal note, this is the one that got me into researching these subjects to begin with!)
Day 8 - Fungus The Kayeri are a folklore found in Colombia and Venezuela, much taller, larger and faster than the average human they are capable of swiping the local cattle in their arms to feast on soon later as prey. Despite their fungi appearance, they are far more vicious in the stories than you'd realise with an alarming amount of misdeeds within their tales. In this sense, you can categorise them equivalent to Ogres with many comparisions to be made. Never judge a beast by its appearance, we've learned today.
Day 1 - Insect Mothman, first 'discovered' in West Virginia 1966 several times by young couples in Point Pleasant. Supposedly, Mothman was a bad omen, a sign of disasters yet to come as his appearances followed the collapse of the Point's Silver Bridge.
