Read the Foxfire series of books for Southern Appalachian lore in general. I think it's vol 8 that has a section dedicated to supernatural stories in particular. The entire series is wonderful, and much of the information would be dead today were it not for the magazine/books effort to preserve it.

Argentina has a few: Haunted buildings seem to be the most common, specially around the cities, but there is also a few well known ghost stories like "El Futre" and weird creatures, like "Nahuelito" Bariloche's local version of Nessy.

Generations of Abbeville children have listened wide-eyed to their parents tell the story of Huggin' Molly. They have hurried home on nights lit only by the moon's glow, certain they saw something in the shadows, afraid she would be around the next corner. Legend says, if she happens upon you, she chases you down, gives you a huge hug and screams in your ear.

It's a ghost though, not a cryptid.

The creepiest thing in Appalachian Mountains is me :)

Re: Southern Creatures - there's these ones that come to mind for the Southern USA:
1) The Lake Worth Monster AKA Texas Goat Man.
2) The Ozark Howler.
3) The Pope Lick Monster (another Goat Man).
4) The Fouke Monster. Check out the Legend of Boggy Creek, it's a documentary type thing on it.

I saw a skin walker type thing in florida... want to hear??

Rawhead & Bloodybones. My grandfather used to tell me stories about him.

The Legend of Boggy Creek wasn't a serious movie. In fact it's kind of what inspired the Blair Witch Project which means that it is from the bowels of hell and Charles Pierce should be killed slowly for inspiring such useless shit. Or just mercilessly mocked if you wanna be a pussy about it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V8vLjlme390

GA here, we don't really talk about it much, when I lived with my grandpa back in the day, his Indian buddy Nashoba told us about lots of shit and taught us how to ward off and even fight the bad medicine that could hurt us or our farm. Not much use in just talking, it's hard enough keeping the shit under wraps from the damned people here, because all the bible thumper would scream demon or Satan and try to pray it away or lock you up for believing in fairy tales, despite your animals getting obliterated by a fucking duali

I'm from North Carolina and we have some weird stuff around here if you're interested.

Oh hell yeah, chief. Same here above you. Easy to get lost in swamp, things look so similar after a while, no to mention having to circumnavigate particularly treacherous areas throwing you off course.

We got the ghost light on the railroad tracks around my part.

OP, have you heard of Wampus Cats?

Well there's a headless man who rides throughout Texas with his detached head bouncing around in his lap. I guess it's just a ghost but I wanted to feel helpful.

If you want to count West Virginia as southern (I sure do) it's home to the Mothman.
