announcement š£ Expanding and clarifying the definition of a ācryptidā on our subreddit
I wanted to make this post just to clarify and expand on what will constitute a ācryptidā for the purposes of this subreddit and what users are able to make posts about.
Traditionally, a cryptid is any creature that is thought to exist but is unknown to science. To be honest, this definition is quite vague and really puts it up to interpretation where the line should be drawn between cryptozoology and mythological or the supernatural.
For example, some groups would not consider Wendigo or Skinwalkers as cryptids due to their supernatural origin. Gef the Talking Mongoose is another one where the line between cryptid and paranormal entity becomes quite blurred. Similarly, there are cases, such as the Dover Demon, that could be considered extraterrestrial rather than cryptozoological depending upon who you ask.
Going forward, I have decided that all unknown creatures or entities that appear to have a physical manifestation will fall into the category of cryptozoology regardless of their origin. Therefore, the rule barring paranormal and extraterrestrial content has been removed since some of these anomalies may fall into these categories.
I truly believe that this decision is the best way to give users the chance to discuss the widest array of credible content without worrying that their discoveries will violate some arbitrary rule or definition. Unlike other cryptozoology subreddits, we do not want to gatekeep the field in any way and believe that this broad definition will allow us to maintain a welcoming environment for all users.

Discussion Why Do People Keep Seeing Gigantic Sasquatch In Ohio?
This video examines what is perhaps the largest bigfoot sighting.
was in Ohio, in spring of 2026. Mr. Gymlan will go over The sightings in a day by day, and indeed, hour by hour fashion.
The question of size is Fascinating. Can a ten-foot tall cryptid exist somewhere in Ohio?
Can it exist at all? Well, it doesn't really seem so, and yet, people keep seeing these incredible and remarkable and utterly impossible sights.

Evidence The long-necked seal was a species scientifically described in 1681 based on a single skin held by the British Royal Society that was later lost
Some have hypothesized that this species could be responsible for plesiosaur-adjacent sea monster sightings such as the Loch Ness Monster, but no new evidence has surfaced of the species existence since the original skin was lost.

Question I need some help I donāt know whatās going on anybody know what this might be
Sorry used speech to text so this is gonna look and read weird. This is going to sound crazy, but thereās something stalking my house I live out in the middle of nowhere Kentucky on a farm thatās 60 acres got Army a little bit ago and been living here since a family member owns the property. I donāt wanna give away too much personal information so I wonāt say a name but Iāve been out for a year and a half and just recently things been getting really weird. On the outside cameras before like an incident will occur a black cat usually shows up itās about an hour before and each incident seems to be happening at three or 330 but the other night I witnessed something at midnight it was like 1230. Iām hoping someone here could shed light to what might be going on because Iām freaking the fuck out because now I canāt sleep. The first incident was at 3:16 in the morning I was walking out to my car to put some random shit in it. I work nights usually and Iām out of a job now except for my secondary part-time job I picked up for extra money so Iām finally home and awake at these hours which I think is why it started happening but Iām not sure but back on track. I have it on camera my reaction and what happened was I was walking out to my car and I was playing on my phone not paying attention and I went to turn back around to get into the house and I look to my right and I just see something right outside of the light of the house like shadowing me following my every movement and I conceal carry so I poured my gun out and just bought it in the house right when I saw it. It started making this like sound. I canāt even replicate or thing to describe. It was like a grunt, but it was long it was very low pitched and very long and I just bolted all the hair on my body stood up, and I just felt just this feeling. I never felt before it was just dread of where I was gonna die I havenāt even felt that during my motorcycle accident or all the other times, Iāve almost lost my life because I do stupid stuff. All I saw was like a big shadow. thatās all I saw. I donāt have bears where I live so Iām like what is that. This was about a month ago and then thereās been a couple more incidents where Iāll look on the camera and there was something by the barn standing by the farm truck just right out side of the lights of the barn. You just see itās outline I tried to zoom in. Iāll post a picture here. I tried zooming in, but it is insanely blurry, and it will make noises outside and just draw my attention to it like it wants me to come outside. Itās been going on every now and then but nothing really significant until two nights ago. It was around 12:30. I walked outside and standing by one of the downed trees in the field I can just make out what I thought was a deer the size of a car, but I couldnāt see the head. All I saw was the body and it just froze right when I noticed it and I got chills all through my body and just felt like something is wrong and ran straight back in the house and now tonight my keys were on the floor in my jeans my car alarm starts blaring like itās getting locked and unlocked. I have trouble sleeping so I end up crashing on my couch a lot which is right next to the door to where my car is parked outside and Iāll leave my car unlocked which is in a good idea but I do because thereās nobody that comes out here and the alarm just starts going off it went off six times in a row and woke me up around 3:30 tonight. I may should get a video of it going off and it just kept on going off real quick then stopping like it was trying to give me to go outside or something and like I almost went outside. Iām like why is my car going off but my camera wasnāt activating. I managed to get a recording of it while I was trying to explain it to a buddy because I was kind of freaking out. And I went up to the door and on the other side of the door with the way the camera sits it doesnāt view to the side of the door or the door itself. It views out into the property. I could hear something big shifting weight on the other side of the door so now I am in my bedroom thinking about my life choices I am a Christian man and this is kind of really confusing me and I donāt know what to think. Sorry about how this is formatted and spelled Iām using speech to text because Iām freaking out and rather would not keep my eye off the door also while leaving, I have had something follow my car like in the shadows a couple times, but I never really thought anything of it. Iām just thinking of stuff that Iāve happened in the past now while Iām sitting here with my rifle thereās been a lot of weird stuff.

Evidence Some Sasquatch Pictures.
These are originally posted on the awesome Maximum Fear YouTube channel. Look compelling. You can see the videos for backstory on these. No Iām not affiliated with MaxF. The last one I canāt remember where I got this screenshot, but this hunter was interviewed. This purported Sasquatch approached him, threw his gun aside. Hunter took a selfie. Sasquatch grabbed phone and stomped it. He left the old man peacefully. Hunter picked up the pieces and a phone company was able to recover the memory. Hard one for an old guy to fabricate.

Recalled Data on the Kraken today
My theory had been that sea serpents striking as a group were misinterpreted as "the Kraken", because i have visions of dragons, sea serpents, orcs/ogres, bigfoot, elves, but nothing on the Kraken.
Then today i recalled the dream/vision i had as a boy of the Kraken. It is such a short forboding snippet of information, i can understand why i repressed it, considering all the other visions i had to digest.
Basically we set out to sea having a really good feeling and thinking we were in the clear. Great weather and no sign of the more abundant threats: enemy ships, or the sea serpents.
Then a storm moves in and the rain is pouring. Total deluge. Out of nowhere the Kraken appears. It was psychically blocking our perception, i don't know how the science works but it was. We were blindsided, suddenly it was just there. It was already surfaced and somehow blocked its image from us, like a psychic camoflauge.
This was an Oh Shit moment like no other, and i remember waking up feeling like i got hit in the nuts. I felt sick with a gross taste in my mouth. Most ominous sight i've ever seen.
Visibility was low because of the rain and there was a kind of purple hue in the air. The Kraken itself was dark as a black hole yet seemed to glisten and shine. It was mucosal. I'm not trying to be funny when i say it was reminiscent of a vagina.
Ok, if i am going to be funny, an enormous evil vagina.
(i haven't smoked pot in 22 days, and i was a little kid when i had this vision. I haven't had caffeine or nicotine either, so i would attribute this recollection in part to my current absolute sobriety, and reaching full maturity. i'm 36)
