    The Cryptid/ Unexplained Event/ Paranormal Thread.

    Naw, I've seen that movie. The sensors will get lost during a river crossing or break down shortly after they get there. Based on movies about them, I'm pretty sure every Cryptid out there has a symbiotic relationship with Gremlins.

    The Cryptid/ Unexplained Event/ Paranormal Thread.

    Gonna note here, I lived in Appalachia for years. The underbrush is so dense moving around outside the beaten path requires a machete, and the plant life grows so quickly your lawn will be sprouting honest-to-god trees if you go two weeks without mowing. I used to chat with the wildsang...

    The Cryptid/ Unexplained Event/ Paranormal Thread.

    I had a weird encounter when I was quite young. Something "paranormal" anyway, I was climbing rocks at a lumber camp deep in the Sierra Nevadas far enough from civilization that we didn't have electricity or running water, when I heard a high-pitched mechanical noise a ridge over. I climbed up...
