The Wampus cat, Hidebehind,Hodag and the Dwayyo are so interesting

I grew up near the Appalachian Mountains, and one of my favorite things to do was listen to these stories from old people who had heard them from their parents. Even in this modern age, Oral Traditions can be found if you bother to look for them; especially among superstitious populations.

This is Mythology Unleashed!

Never heard of the Banshee of the Badlands or Dwayo. I love learning about these lesser known folklore creatures

As a passionate, native born American, I sense a strong vibe of patriotic power & pride after learning about these stellar creatures! Definitely gonna share this vid! Wonderful content, brilliant presentation, & superb narration as always! Love this!💕💎💜🌍

I was over the moon to see this video pop up in my feed. Just like part 1, this was an excellent introduction to more of America's legendary cryptoids. I'm a Colorado native and I never knew about the Hell Dogs of El Dorado Canyon! You've inspired me to learn more about these local legends. 😁

Perhaps the Dr Seuss stories of the grinch find their origins in the stories of the grunches, seeing the similarities in their skin color, behavior and the fact that they are both social outcasts.

I saw the board game "Horrified: American Monsters" at the mall today. I was wondering if the Banshee of the Badlands was from actual folklore.

I would love to see a part three. The last time I heard a story of the Hodag was in a Scooby-Doo episode. American myths are some of the oddest creatures like the Frog people of Loveland

So glad you are back from your break. I feel your intros to the myths are becoming much more solid. Nice work

Really awesome video! You’re my main channel for Diablo lore since the new game came out and I became interested. Usually I don’t give druids a second thought because I don’t vibe with other druid styles in different games. However, Diablo druids seem really cool and interesting! Thank you for your work

I am part Creek Indian thank you very much, Blessed Be.

Lmao the one drawing of the "beast of grunch road" looked like Shrek blended with Donkey

I'm from Connecticut and I never heard of this Meriden black dog ghost... very cool!!

Very interesting lore video of American mythical creatures. This is the very first time I've ever heard of the wampus cat. The picture reminds me of the displacer beast of Dungeons & Dragons rpg. Only difference is the displacer beast looks more like a panther and has 2 tentacles in addition to its six legs. To my knowledge, there were never a connection between the two creatures such as the creator of the displacer beast was inspired by the wampus cat. As such, I really appreciate your channel for this video!!

I would love to see a video on skinwalkers. They are one of the few mythological/cryptid creatures that actually scares me, and I can’t get enough of these kind of stories. ❤

It's amazing how little we Americans know about our own Mythos

Jackopes and Wolpertingers are my favorite weird rabbits.

I hope you do another video about the myths of a city, preferably Chicago.

I'm creating a homebrew DnD world, and these videos will definitely provide inspiration.

Welcome back! Great video! I had not heard of these creatures before, but now that you’ve mentioned them, I would like to apply these beings to my future stories.

This is a great video, very interesting! I'd heard of some of these critters, but not all. I was happy to see the jackalope included! My family and I used to go to a museum and nature park that had a mounted jackalope head

Going back to rewatch the first American Folklore video before watching this one. I love this channel!

I've an off topic question, what has happened to Mothman?

It's always fun to see how stories spread from culture to cultures, USA has a lot of these like anywhere else. But some of these are their own thing and i love that :D

Please keep up the good work I’m loving this

You should make a video on italian folklore! In the apulia region we have a mythical fairy spirit called "lauro", who appears during sleep paralysis sitting on people's chests and asks you if you wish to have gold or stones. Whichever one you say, he will give you the other. He can change size and crawl in walls or does other mischievous acts such as knotting hair to the point were it has to be completely cut off. It's quite similar to the Irish pooka, but is bound to a house or family

The Wampus Cat reminds me of the Hexapuma from David Weber's Honorverse.

Welcome back! I hope you guys enjoyed your time away.

You should do the spook light of Oklahoma. I have personally seen it, years ago a scientific TV show tried to study it to prove what it is saying lights off the highway and stuff like that except it was seen in that area before the highway was built.

love this channel, you got yourself a loyal sub

hidebehind reminds me of some decade go when i was at ward and there was this schizophrenic guy who also was slightly retarded. he had a set of certain self invented superheroes with weirdest superpowers and personalities, one of which was named simply "someguy". the only description of this someguy he had was, that "well he could be anybody"

I was in a marine bio lab in colage and some girl genuanly asked if jakalopes exist.🤣 I feel so bad for hear.

Hodag is new to me. Also Paul Bunyan featured them? Surprise surprise. Good stuff.

These are always great to listen to!

Bro that realistic description of the hide behind was a jumpscared for me

Can you make the next video about Jorogumo?

The version of the Wampus Cat I heard was even more disturbing; the brothers she spied on ritualistically sewed her into the puma skin and her face and breaststroke were still visible through gaps in the poor upholstery job. Really grim.

First time I’ve ever heard him stumble or mess up on his words a lil bit in the vid, love that it was left in there too💯

Glad you guys are back. Really interesting video ❤

I really enjoyed this I love learning about the lore of different countries and cultures keep up the good work 😁

That was great, now how about a video about South American Mythology & Folklore?

There is a Yugioh theme deck based on cryptids known as the danger deck

It's the origin of the word "cattywampus." In the Ozarks of Missouri, there's the Ozark Howler. Our folklore/mythology, is weird.

When I was going to school in Arkansas our school mascot was a Wampus Cat. I always wondered where it came from

I live in Louisiana and am glad to say that I am lucky enough to not have run into the Grunches and their pet, knock on wood.

Finally a part 2! Thank you

I'm from Conway, Ar...our school mascot is the Wampus Cat. We're the ones and ain't no other!!! That statue is at our high school. S/O to CHS.!!! Big titles across the board💪

-The Wampus Cat: The most common depiction I'VE seen was a feline hind quarters aand four legs, but where the shoulders met the head was a woman's torso, arms, and head. -Hell Dogs:....Hmm....Actually, never heard of this one. -The Grunches:.....Again, have not heard of this one. -The Hidebehind" This is classified as a "Fearsome Critter". It's something that nobody took seriously and understood that it was just a tall tale to scare newbie lumberjacks and other people new to the forests. -The Jackalope was created as a tourist attraction of sorts to get people to the area. All the reported "bodies" of the creatures are just what taxiderimsts do for fun and to create interest in their services. -The Hodag is a confirmed hoax that was peddled around the sideshow for awhile. It was just fure, horns, wood, and a healthy dose of smoke to conceal the fakeness of it all. -Sasquatch......OK, I actually saw one of these as a kid in Northern California. 30+ years laterI still have that image burned into my brain. -Dwayo......Yet another I've never heard of. -OK, Never heard of THIS Banshee.....I'm just familiar of the Celtic Banshee

My nerd kicked in and the Wampus cat instantly made me think of a displacer beast.

Awesome this was one of my recommendations 🎉

The jackalope is supposed to be a real rabbit that has a fungus that grows a type of of some form of dead skin on their head. That looks like curled horns that aren't really horns.

Bigfoot encounters in Alaska have told of a foul odor, not unlike the Skunk Ape. Perhaps sasquatches are as diverse as the regions they are found in.

Jackalopes! In a small Maryland town, there was a bar with every decorative Elvis bottle on display, and about a dozen jackalope heads. Dwayyo is new to me, but I've heard of the Snalegaster, all in the same general region. Oh, and The Blair Witch. 😁😄

Nice. More American folklore monsters.

I would love to see some folklore creatures broken up by state. I've always wondered which one has the most lol

Tuned in I love this story

Great stuff! Interesting, though...I grew up on the edge of the Badlands in South Dakota and in 45+ years I've never heard a word about a "banshee" there.

Awesome legends thank you for sharing

2:48 I've seen that statue in real life! It's at the front of Conway High School in Conway, AR and the Wampus Cat is Conway High's mascot

The American SkunkApe: the original Florida Man

🔆American Folklore🔆🇺🇸 thank you

I was born in Wisconsin, Rhineland, there is a big statue of the Hodag there

Great video.

The wampus cat looks like a displacer beast.

A big cat with six limbs doesnt sound so bad better for cuddles

It's like a WEREWOLF type of a CREATURE!! Called a DWAYYO. 👀😲🎥🐺

I like Jackalopes because they do exist, in a sense. Rabbits with horns are a thing, albiet due to a disease that is far from fun.

I would love to know were you get all these wicked cool and some times cute picks for your vids?

Yeah if Jackalopes are so fast, elusive, and hard to catch how come there are so many mounted specimens 🇺🇲 🤷🏼‍♂️🤓😎✌🏻🇺🇲

Hello and courtesy. It was great and beautiful. Good luck Excuse me, where do you get the photos and what software do you use for editing?

the banshee just wants to sing😅

Dnd monster bro without the tentacles or should I say or rhe other way around.

See it's weird the Jackalope mimics human sounds I never forgot going shooting as a kid with my Dad and wounding a Rabbit swear to God it screamed like a crying baby! It put me off hunting, not against it for control reasons just never had the confidence. If you can't take out something clean and quickly without not causing suffering to the animal don't bother huh!

What about the Rougarou. These are far more known in the Louisiana that the Grunches.

Hidebehind was sighted when I was a kid. Weird.

I have been followed by the Hide behind a lot of times. I'm sure it has followed you too.

i wonder if the wampus cat originated from somebody seeing a deformed puma with extra legs and thus the myth arised

catty wampus is a term some like to use to describe something off, crooked, tilted, askew, crosseyed, something not quite right, ridiculous ect.. soo technically speaking for me a cat with 6 legs is pretty wampus.

The Jackalope is actually a jackrabbit with growths bulging from its head.

If you’re familiar with Gravity Falls, you’ve probably heard of the Hidebehind.

What an wonderful birthday gift from you for me 😏

PART TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

What is that

Return of the kings ❤

So... When things go ALL CATTY WAMPUS, you can blame the WAMPUS KITTY CAT🐈 meow... ❤

LOL that wampus cat. I mean, a cougar/puma with its regular 4 legs will eat your livestock & fùck your shít up as well!

Some of these stories make me feel a little bit like Jack Sparrow off of Pirates of the Caribbean. " leaps no survivors, I wonder where the stories come from then?"🤔✌

The wambus cat could be real as it could be a rare birth defect that caused more legs

When my school first opened its mascot was the wompus cat but thia was before we consolidated with another school district backnin the 70's or something

As an american its kinda crazy how we lot alot of our folklore

you also have the luisiana loogaroo witch is a werewolf like creature

Aw yea💪

Debate this Grunch road monster vs chupacabra

The hodag kinda reminds me of the bandersnatch from Tim Burton's take on Alice in Wonderland.

Monsters of Iberian/Spanish culture next?

No mention of the Thunderbird. 😢

🎶All the cops in the coffee ☕ shop🎵say dwayo🎶DWAYO🎵dwayo dwaaayooooooooh🎶. Walk like a snalllygaster!🎵. 🇺🇲🤓😎✌🏻

Yo I had a dream about these cats! A few years bad an talk about DNA OF ABORIGINES
