Jackasslope - Cryptids & Co

Bessie (Lake Erie Cow Monster or Lorain Ocean’s Lake Monster)

Described as looking like a cow and having multiple heads in some sightings (yes you read that correctly). Sightings around Lake Erie started in 1907 and have continued ever since with sometimes basic or stranger description of the creature. One of the weirder descriptions was made by two brothers in 1937 as a creature made up of a hundred cows combined into one with arms.

Pterosaurs have been sighted in the U.S., many of which occured during the Civil War. Sightings have occurred as recently as 2008 (as shown in the supposed pictures from above).

Although, many people claim pterodactyl/pterosaur sightings to be nothing but misidentifications of known birds such as the frigate bird.

Jackalopes are my favorite cryptid, so I decided to stitch one featuring the night sky!

Gef the Talking Mongoose said a number of notable things in his time living at the home of the Irvings on the Isle of Man. He could speak a number of different languages according to those he spoke to, including but not limited to Welsh, Spanish, and Russian. However, even though he could speak more than English, he once claimed that the Irvings were the ones that had taught him to speak: “For years, I understood all that people said, but I could not speak until you taught me”.
