The Goatman The goatman is an enormous humanoid cryptid, half-man half-goat measuring around 7 feet tall!! There have been reports of sightings in Alabama, Louisiana, Maryland, Texas and several other places. In Maryland legend goes that he was once a man who kept goats who was lonely and angry and went crazy when local teens killed his beloved goats. Some legends depict the Goatman as a mythical beast, or cryptid, and might be related to the Chupacabra. 9. Emela-Ntouka Hailing from West Central Africa, including the Congo’s Likouala swamp region and possibly parts of Cameroon, the Emela-Ntouka is a massive, ferocious cryptid that reportedly kills anything it crosses paths with. Known to locals as the “Elephant Killer,” the hairless, single-horned creature is roughly the same size as an African elephant -- around 13,230 pounds (6,000 kg) -- and resembles a rhinoceros in shape and appearance. 8. Mothman The Mothman of Point Pleasant, arguably one of America’s creepiest legendary cryptids, originated in Clendenin, West Virginia on November 12, 1966, when a cemetery worker spotted a massive creature passing overhead, swiftly passing from one tree to the next. 7. Jorōgumo The jorōgumo is a type of yōkai, or supernatural monster or spirit, in Japanese folklore. The name itself literally means “binding woman” which is fitting given that it is often depicted as a spider that takes on the appearance of a beautiful seductress. It uses its looks to entice and ultimately devour young men. According to legends, when a spider lives to be 400 years old, it gains magic powers that allow it to grow and shapeshift, helping it to hunt for humans. 6. Mapinguari In its original form, the Mapinguari was an Amazonian shaman who discovered the secret to immortality. Displeased with his discovery, the gods turned him into a hairy beast that reportedly wanders the border between Brazil and Bolivia to this day. 5. Jersey Devil Legend holds that the Jersey Devil was the unwanted 13th son of Mother Leeds, one of earliest settlers of southern New Jersey’s Pine Barrens. Unable to afford to raise the baby, Leeds and her husband offered the rejected child to the Devil before his birth in 1735. 4. Mongolian Death Worm With a name meaning “large intestine worm,” the olgoi-khorkhoi is a dark red, four-foot (1.2 meters) long cryptid resembling a giant earthworm and originating from Mongolia. Also known as the “Mongolian death worm,” it reportedly lives below ground in the southern Gobi Desert, only surfacing during summer and when the ground is wet. 3. Iliamna Lake Monster Commonly known as “Illie,” the Iliamna Lake Monster resides in a small fishing village next to Alaska’s largest lake and is a staple of local mythology. Measuring somewhere between 10 and 30 feet (3-9.1 meters) long, the aquatic cryptid resembles a long marine creature, unlike a whale or seal, with a long tail, distinct fins, and a square-shaped head, which it reportedly uses for inflicting blunt force into small boats and other structures. Native legends describe it as a large beast that roams the waters. 2. Monkey-Man Of Delhi In May 2001, claims circulated of a half-man, half-monkey creature appearing on the streets of New Delhi, India. Known as the Kala Bandar, which is Hindi for “black monkey,” the cryptid reportedly came out primarily at night and attacked dozens of people by clawing and biting at them. 1. Ogopogo Nicknamed “Oggy,” the Ogopogo, or Okanagan Lake Monster, is a lake monster of Canadian folklore, said to inhabit Okanagan Lake in British Columbia. Its legend dates as far back as the 1700s, with origins tied to First Nation tribes, who spoke of a “water beast”in the lake. The creature is often depicted as a multi-humped, serpentine sea dragon with green or black skin and the head of a horse, snake, or sheep, according to the BBC. #creepycryptids #cryptidsightings #halloween #originexplained
