The Cryptid Phenom

 

I have now been actively researching eye witness reports for over twenty five years.  I learned early how to read them.  Way more important, I stopped dismissing the data.  It turns out that we have what i have coined conforming data.  This by the by can even be detected mind to mind without ever seeing a damn thing.  No one usually reports that though.

what I do know is that large smart creatures can comm mind to mind and even make themselves invisible and also show a convenient image in our minds.  This obviously makes detection far more challenging.  Once you understand that this is happening, most reports become rather clearer. After all a giant sloth able to project and be invisible is a formidible ambush hunter and a true apex preditor.

I mention the giant Sloth because it was the first i identified although it had been identified back in the thirties by one witness.  Now we have a robust body of reports mapping its global distribution.  Also understand that the ability to not be seen may be unique to the Giant Sloth, though it appears possible with others as well.  We think Bigfoot in particular, but also smaller humanoids are likely simply because we rarely see them.  Yet we do have reports.

what has become clear is that a wide range of creatures exist out there, actively avoiding us and also mostly nocturnal as well.  We are the real oddballs as we operate in daylight along with bears.

We at least do interface with the forest.  Not so with swamps and seas except superficially.

The big one we need to come to grips with is the reptillian which appears to reside underground and will kill us easily but is under orders not to.  They appear to be in an organized society much like ours and outclass us.  The Giant Sloth also outclasses us but is a lone ambush hunter.  Do not forget ambush hunters avoid real conflict which can produce life threatening injuries.  That is good for us.

I have also learned to appreciate the defensive nature of our own lifeway and prefered biome.  Our protective barriers are real and inconvenient to these threats.
