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!!

It's amazing how little we Americans know about our own Mythos
@Mokiefraggle Жыл бұрын
I mean, I've often heard people who genuinely believe that America _has_ no mythology, or who draw a weird set of defining lines between "mythology" (often only relating to things tied to Native American folklore), urban legends, tall tales (Pecos Bill, Paul Bunyan, etc.), and cryptids. Which seems to only further that weird concept that America doesn't actually have a mythology outside of that which belonged to the Native Americans here before European settlers arrived. I personally see all of that as a mythology, and find it fascinating to look into primarily because so much of it is outgrowths of mythology from other countries that has evolved and changed with its interactions with America's multitude of cultures and beliefs, or things that have grown as society modernized and grew, such as the various urban legends.
@georgewilliamson5667 Жыл бұрын
@@MokiefraggleI personally have always felt that the weird disconnect we have with our own folklore and mythology here in the United States is largely a product of just how new of a country and culture we are. To me it has always felt that since we are a nation and culture made through the mashing together of many other cultures, mixed with how young of a culture we are, it is creating a situation where only in the last twenty or thirty years or so is our folklore only just now beginning to solidify. If American culture manages to survive for a thousand years there is no doubt in my mind that monsters like the sasquatch or wendigo will be considered quintessentially American, and stories about the Bell Witch and Skinwalker Ranch will the sorts of myths written in fairy tale books. But as it stands right now, we are only recently getting a grip on what our mythos even is, so people feel uncomfortable or uncertain even saying we have a mythos.

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

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
