Skip to 1:00. If JonTron is scared of Mothman, he has to be real.
OT: Ones I do believe in are more supernatural then political, also cause I hate politics.
Aliens, BigFoot, and recently Mermaids.
I don't exactly remember but there was a recent program that got footage of people in a submarine trying to find Mermaids.
During they got its attention with strange whale like noises they recorded to see if they can attract one.
It got quiet, an *BOOM* creepy webbed hand appearing on the side window. Oh yeah, then the government came in and tried to disprove the evidence.
I'm sorry but that sounds too real.
Edit: Found the recent mermaid vid, turns out it was taken near Greenland.
Chills. Everywhere.
This is going to be pretty off-topic for the thread itself but oh well.
First off, let me just say the cryptids that interest me are the one's we can capture. I find aliens and ghosts boring now because we're not going to get close to an alien until they decide to land their saucers (unless that Roswell thing is true) and we're not going to catch a ghost because we keep forgetting our proton packs.
Anyway.
On the Mothman: Oh my goodness, I had Jontron's exact same sentiments when I was younger. I wanted to hunt down other cryptids, but Mothman, hoo boy. I spent many hot summer nights with my window closed because I was scared I would hear him speak to me or see him or something. I remember walking to the bus stop early in the morning, and I live in a pretty wooded area, being terrified thinking he was going to pick me up and fly away. Nothing ever happened, no sightings, no nothing. I was a really paranoid teenager, it was bad. Now I'm a paranoid adult walking home at night and scaring myself of the idea of a very real animal trying to kill me. Not to say he doesn't exist, but
Mothman and bigfoot
might exist.
Bobcats and bears
definitely do.
Now.
On the Mermaid: Ah! You can see it's face! That is creepy man. I see the comments section is basically a 50/50 between people calling absolute BS and people saying it's 100% real. Real or not, I don't know, but I'm with wwediva101love (who I'm going to assume is a girl) in the comments who phrases my thoughts quite well:
"I bet not even 50% of the ocean is discovered so this might be real"
That's basically how I approach most non-supernatural cryptids: it might just be an animal we haven't fully discovered yet. And with how unexplored the sea is, it's not hard to think that there's probably a lot of stuff down there that we don't know about.
Fact is often stranger than fiction, as it were.
P.S. I should not have watched that at midnight. Now I'm seeing all of these "ALIEN CAUGHT ON TAPE" thumbnails and I know I'm going on one of my late-night link escapades and creep myself out and not be able to sleep.
Look what you did, Xcell.
