Type: Cryptid / Hominid

Region: North America

Description: Bigfoot, also known as Sasquatch, is a large, ape-like creature said to inhabit remote forests across North America. Descriptions typically include a height of 7–10 feet, a muscular build, and thick, dark reddish-brown hair covering the body. It walks upright and is known for leaving oversized footprints—some over 15 inches long.

Behavior: Shy and elusive, Bigfoot is often associated with wood knocking, strange vocalizations, and foul odors. Despite numerous sightings, no definitive scientific evidence has confirmed its existence.

Cultural Significance: Rooted in Indigenous folklore and amplified by modern sightings, Bigfoot has become an enduring symbol of wilderness mystery and a staple of cryptozoological lore.

Type: Cryptid / Winged Humanoid

Region: Point Pleasant, West Virginia, USA

Description: The Mothman is a mysterious winged creature said to haunt the skies around Point Pleasant, West Virginia. Witnesses describe it as a tall, dark, man-like figure with massive wings and glowing red eyes that pierce the night. Though it rarely speaks (or screeches), its presence is often accompanied by a deep sense of dread and strange electromagnetic disturbances.

Behavior: Reportedly silent in flight, the Mothman can hover without flapping its wings and is known to chase vehicles, perch on buildings, and vanish without a trace. Some believe it to be a harbinger of disaster, as sightings peaked shortly before the tragic 1967 Silver Bridge collapse.

Cultural Significance: Mothman has become a central figure in American cryptid lore, spawning books, documentaries, and even a 2002 Hollywood film. Point Pleasant now celebrates the creature annually with a Mothman Festival and features a dedicated museum and a towering metal statue in its honor.
