Legendary Creature/Cryptid Similarities

Bumping for curiousness.

Nope

why don't you discuss your findings first

No fucking around, I saw a fleshgait once in Kittery point Maine near Fort Foster . It was Smaller then other accounts I have read. It was gollum size, but no mistake the copper smell before the encounter and heard my girlfriend that was with me cell phone ring from the direction that creature eventually appeared from. Like it mimicked it.(I had called it earlier when we were trying to find the phone in the car). I will never forget that image.... the white skin the black eyes the all bone taunt over flesh no muscle.... that fucking green flash that went through its eyes when our gazes met. No ears no genitals no tail. Me and that girlfriend still sometimes talk about it when we connect This was in 2007....

I think about it all the time. I will never quite understand what went on that night....She froze...me and it locked in the whats it gonna be ? Do we tear each other apart or do go back into the woods? It turned and slowly returned to the forest.

Because I'm at work. I'll post what I personally have in a bit.

I was hoping other people were similarly interested and had maybe had functioning theories, or at least thoughts I could read while passing the time at this stupid counter.

I thought leshy were more similar to nordic/finnic woodland/forest spirits/gods rather than something like wendigos or skinwalkers

Or you could just say skinwalker.

Mythology spreads and evolves over time, thus you can see similarities between mythological creatures throughout the world. Most cryptids are typically just inspired by mythological creatures too, so that shouldn't be surprising.

On top of that, there are certain characteristics that are simply just common in what people find scary, which is another reason why you see similarities in cultures that are otherwise completely different.

I used to browse /x/ religiously in my teens, but only really came back recently. All the sudden it's skinwalkers everywhere. How the fuck did this happen?

Oh, yeah. Of course.

The term skinwalker is applied to liberally to some other cryptids with similar modus operendi.

In reality, I'd venture to say 60% of all stories are fake. Within the remaining 40%, half of those are misidentified cryptids or non-paranormal situations labelled as "FLESHGAIT/SKINWALKER!!!!"

They are out there, though.
