      When will you cover the most fearsome creatures of the Western Interior Seaway? It's widely regarded by historians as the ancient body of water with the most monsters, ever. These monsters weren't myth, but actual fearsome leviathans.

    The Snipe Hunt story spoke to me cuz my grandpa and uncle took me and my sisters on a snipe hunt while camping and they just took us into a field and gave us a bag and a flashlight and said. “You gotta shine the light through the bag and shake it around and the snipe will run into it. Make sure you close the bag as soon as it runs in or it’ll get out.” And we sat in that field for like 10 minutes until we heard this rustling and running through the woods coming towards us and we all freaked out. It turned out to just be my grandpa running through the woods on all fours. Definitely a core memory for me haha. Can’t wait to take my own kids/ nieces and nephews on a snipe hunt

    The fearsome critter (me) in the darkness of night (3am) hunts its prey in ravenous hunger (cheese from the fridge). Those who’re reported to have seen the beast (my mom) say that its eyes are always drawn down due to a crook in its neck (watching wendigoon videos on my phone), leading it to be unaware of its immediate surroundings and commonly collide with the terrain (bumping into the kitchen countertop)

    In my country there's a story that is told, not by lumberjacks, but by construction worker: The Eat-Rock (translation) is some kind of huge worm with concrete-like skin, and it lives 28 meters under the level of the ground. He eats the soil or rock at this level, and will eat anything you put there. That's why you can never build anything or dig deeper than this.

    As a desert resident, I am 90% sure the Cactus Cat is based on the peccary, which are essentially bores of the desert. Their fur is very rough and unpleasant to touch, mostly so they can run through a dry, prickly environment with minimal effort (less soft stuff to get caught on) much like the Cactus Cat's thorny fur. Cacti being "bled" is a very common sight, with a big bite taken out of them and seemingly left at that. Peccaries eat primarily cactus, and this is their very signature. They don't get drunk from the actual catcus, but should they stumble upon cactus FRUIT that is ripe enough they will likely have a doozy of a time. And no, they are not safe to be near. Like any wild pig, you gamble your bones the moment you approach or startle them.

      The cactus cat grinding its arm-blades together might also be based on peccaries grinding and clacking their teeth as a defense display. I've been out in the Chihuahuan desert wilderness at night and there's been times where I could just hear them clacking their teeth in the dark whenever I unknowingly got too close.

    The snipe is the only one of these I grew up with, and it's so interesting to hear how different this version is while having the same basic idea.
    To me, Snipes are small birds that take on the appearance of pinecones when they're looked at, sort of like Weeping Angels I guess. We would go snipe hunting every year, and the comment about "seasoned hunters" going along just to watch was my Uncle's exact reasoning they'd tell us. We'd take bags and the older cousins would point out every noise. I found out later that one of them would be hidden in the trees ahead of us and throw a rock, and the person leading would dive to the ground and 'struggle' against it. One was so good she somehow would always manage to make it look like she was being dragged.

    I need an American cryptid hunting show with Isaiah, Hunter, and Caleb. "Three guys who needed to touch grass find themselves lost in the woods". Hunter is mostly wondering how he got into this mess and getting spooked by everything. Isaiah rethinks ever having kids after just keeping the boys together and alive, and Caleb somehow keeps pulling more and more guns from *somewhere*.
    Every episode or two would be them out hunting for a different creature, and the four-episode finale would be their showdown with Bigfoot. After an epic battle when all the boys are on the ground out of energy and weapons and Sasquatch stands victorious, Caleb pulls a tiny pistol from his pants and takes him down with a shot to the back of the head. Isaiah field dresses the Bigfoot for transport, feeling nostalgic as he labels organs in sterile lab bags and collects vials of blood before draining the rest. Hunter reviews the footage and asks Caleb where he'd gotten that last gun, Caleb exclaims "I forgot I hid it under my balls!!"
    The boys win a Nobel prize for proving the existence of cryptids, Hunter sells his to pay for the intensive therapy he needs and then writes a book and a movie about it. Isaiah opens cryptozoology research labs in 13 countries employing hundreds of people at high wages to research their local cryptids. Caleb buys land where they get cryptid reports and puts them to work making sourboys.

    My snipe hunt story was with a paper bag and a flashlight shining at the back of the bag, opened towards the woodline. My brother and i were told to be very quiet while my dad and uncle were going to go into the woods and chase them out by scaring them from the trees. they would fall out of the trees and would bolt out of the woods and toawrds our bags, attracted to the glow at the back of the bag, and when they ran into the bags, to slam it closed to keep them from getting back out. they both then walked around to the other side of the house where the driveway was and threw rocks into the woods for about 20-30 minutes. Its just about the only pleasant memory i have of my dad and brother, but cemented the snipe into my bones. i have taken my 11yo on 2 snipes hunts to date and they are among my most cherished moments that i will never forget

    I like how the Luferlang also acts as sort of symbol for hunting safety, with the mention of wearing orange and avoiding green colors while out in the woods. Just as you do with hunting to make sure that other hunters don't mistake you for what their hunting. As a matter of fact the deathly bite almost seems like a metaphor for getting shot by a fellow hunter.

My first year (before I knew snipes were fake, I was like 12 lol) we went to my friend’s great grandparents’ giant ranch property in the woods and went snipe hunting at night. We had to climb through this huge empty water tank with all the older girls banging on it with sticks pretending to be snipes trying to get to us. Then every year after that, I got to be a part of planning the snipe hunt antics for the unfortunate new younger girls 😈

    My father had a campfire story he always told us called the Headless Hunter.
    It started with a dead man being found in an apple orchard leaned against a tree during the winter. His rifle was still in his hands, but his head was gone. There was only one set of tracks that just appeared going up to the tree and then disappearing. His head was never found, nor his killer
    If you find a random set of boot prints in the snow around December you shouldnt follow them as it may lead you to the headless hunter. Hes looking to get revenge on his killer, but since he has no head, he cant tell who is who and will shoot anyone that approaches.

    THE SLIDE ROCK BOLTER!!!! I've been waiting for this for so long it's the coolest thing ever! I also love the idea some accounts at night you can see it's fiery eyes that look like fires spread out on the mountain to attract ill-informed to their death. It's a fantastic way for miners and frontiersmen who are often dying to rock slides to more easily help people come to terms with such drastic and sometimes seemingly directed actions especially when you set off an explosive and watch a mountain literally fall down chasing you.

    story me and my friends from Scouts would tell each other. I’ve moved up from Scouts since then it was called purple Aki. It was a way to keep the little Scouts quiet and it said if you be too loud at night purple Blackie will come into your tent steal you and take you up to the roaches which is some land or near the campsite and will do horrific things to you
