Jackasslope - Cryptids & Co

We still have enough time in 2019 to bring back the thylacine

Finally after 40 years my hometown’s crypto comes back. Welcome home buddy

The Official Loch Ness Monster Sighting Register keeps a page on its website that highlights what does not make a Nessie sighting. The website uses actual accounts that have been reported to it to help decipher what shouldn’t be reported as a legitimate sighting. Some are the more common things that photographs or videos have been debunked as, such as boat wakes, seals, and floating logs. But some others include birds, divers, and even insects. The Register does explain itself on these. It says that the splashes from birds diving or taking off from the water can sometimes look like something suspicious. It explains a situation in 2015 where a woman reported a Nessie sighting but it was debunked as divers that were getting footage for Google Maps’ street view. As for the insects, the Register talks about how bugs too close to the camera lens can sometimes appear monster-ish.

The Irving family posed many questions to Gef the Talking Mongoose to try and get his answers. Once, among all their questions, the Irvings asked Gef if he knew what death was. To which, his voice replied simply, “Yes, a changeover.” 

Unicorns are the creatures of fairytales,  commonly horses with one horn atop their head. But a unicorn is technically any creature with just one horn growing out of their head. It is agreed that a two horned animal that has lost its horn is not a unicorn. 

The Rhinoceros, commonly referred to as a Rhino, is a real life unicorn. They are a creature with one horn growing out of their head in the midline of their body. Though some people wonder if the fabled unicorn of fiction actually exist outside of one’s imagination. 

There have been many sightings over the years, but nothing has come from them except the attention of scientists and cryptozologists. But many people say that such commotion and “hoopla” could not be for nothing and believe there may be some truth to those sightings.

The door of the Holy Trinity Church in Blythburgh, England, boasts the proposed claw marks of Black Shuck. On August 4th, 1577, the Hellhound burst through the door of the church during a thunderstorm, interrupting the congregation in their meeting. Records state that two people, a man and a boy, were killed by the beast and the steeple of the church collapsed.  The marks were made when Black Shuck left the church after the attack.
