I sometimes get asked if Scandinavian countries have cryptids like Big Foot and Mothman, and not just old folklore creatures like elves and trolls, and though I’m sure there are some they must to be very local because I haven’t heard about any.
I think Americans have to understand that your Frogmen, Nightcrawlers and Jersey Devils are your folklore creatures. You’re in the process of making your own folklore and I think that’s beautiful. Now you just have to get creative with it and imagine what type of culture those creatures have, the same way Scandinavians imagined trolls and gnomes to be enemies because gnomes protects houses and churches, or how the long-breasted troll/elf women Slattenpatte were hunted by the dark hunting party of the night, and of course the elf king sometimes had parties where he invited all the other creatures.
You need to imagine Big Foot and Mothman having tea parties where the nightcrawlers aren’t invited because they only drink soda or something.

I think one of my favorite cryptids ever are the fresno nightcrawlers
Like look at these things
These are haunted pants and they're just having a scuttle. There are some people who are legit scared of them. Why are they labeled as horrors.

Would you still love me, if I was a worm?
If I crawled in the dirt, small and slimy?
Would you still love my pink flesh?
Or would you love me if I was flat and wet,
Living in an ocean far away from you?
Would you pull my thrashing body out of the mud,
Long and dark as the night I crawled out of?
Would you pull me out of a tree, covered in silk,
And still find your love there?
Would you love me? Would you spear me on a hook?
And can you tell me the difference between the two?

[photo taken at Huntington, West Virginia] - [5:43 AM]
"Whenever it goes, tragedy follows. His red eyes lurk in shadows, ready to mark the next anchor of disaster"
[At 6AM, on the city of Huntington, a buildin' caught fire, raggedly killin' every resident inside. Possessions where recovered by familiars where they found a film camera w/ a video before the events]

I found a treasure at a used book sale the other day!
Nightcrawlers is an Addams Family book by Charles Addams, who wrote and illustrated and created the beloved family. He signed his works “Chas Addams” and I was delighted to find this little reprint for a dollar.
