The best threads here are where we all get along, but we've been beating around the bush forever on this. I read the deleted post about how it's an unwritten rule, but I've been a Hunter since 2009 and I was reading Lowtracks' Hunter blog in high school before that. So I'm going to say it:

The wikipedia articles for list of cryptids and lists of missing treasure are better than the tvtropes equivalents. Yes they're a bit less "inclusive" or "fun", but the curation creates value by distilling and snapshotting current academic culture

Hey fellow hunters I fuond this rock out in the woods outside my Property pretty sure that a Bigfoot Stepped on it from the marks/imprants. Also my Wife heard a loud noise at the Time that sounded like a Bigfoot to her. We have heard Bigfoot many times around this Neck of the woods so we are both familar with what He sounds Like. My son thinks it was a Big Moose that Did it though. Not sure what to Think so I took a Picture with my phone. What do you guys think Moose or Bigfoot? I am Leaning toward Bigfoot but my son keeps saying Moose now I am not so Sure.

Smugworth is a pretty out-there artist but he's not a creep, dude. we loved those hilarious giant squid/woman swallowing videos he made for the Flash Porthole, and loving Lowtracks even put him up in his garden shed. I trust him if he trusts him

I have some new theories about how the park rangers are actually a secret organization meant to keep us from being massacred and wiped out by skin walkers.

Also check out my new tik tok (link below) where I analyze a video give expert sounding advice about skin walkers and other cryptids.

Also I have like 10 million tik tok followers, lmao.

Ugh you guys I just thought of something. What if.. what if sasquatches are dazzling us with magical forest gems, and that’s why we never see them? Maybe they aren’t even exclusive to the forest. Maybe there are squatch in the business world, in media, in politics, in urban sprawls and intellectual circles, supervising factories in China? Maybe we need to set up squatchin stations in the city, in the park, in concert halls and restaurants. Maybe squatchin ain’t just for the woods. Maybe they’ve been in our hearts all along and they will reveal themselves as the gentle lightbearers and guardians of the world. I thought up all this on my own right after the op said it. :hmmyes:

Guys, great news, I've been posting on the socials about getting into crypto (it sounds cooler if you shorten it down from cryptozoology) and some of my old highschool acquaintances have been really encouraging. Turns out they're into it as well! Although they all seem to be big elon musk fans for some reason

gotta walk fast
bigfoot mythos can be attributed to jungian archetypical genetic baggage from our shared coexistance with neanderthals

they were actually much more peaceful than us according to their use of tools

this helped us wipe them all out. it was also really easy to breed wolves that were "racist" against neanderthals and would kill them on site

some of them still exist and even worked their way into elite society eg. ron perlman and harry henderson

A baby Ningen. Little is known about them because they are a recent discovery, but this suggests they live among us until they grow too vast to fit in and descend into the water.
