The term Blobsquatch is used when an image is taken of a supposed Sasquatch but nothing can be deciphered out of the vaguely human-shaped “blob”. These blobs can commonly be debunked as dead trees, tree stumps, or shadows. The term was first used on Bigfoot Forums in the early 2000s by a man by the name of Vito Quaranta.
Bessie (Lake Erie Cow Monster or Lorain Ocean’s Lake Monster)
Described as looking like a cow and having multiple heads in some sightings (yes you read that correctly). Sightings around Lake Erie started in 1907 and have continued ever since with sometimes basic or stranger description of the creature. One of the weirder descriptions was made by two brothers in 1937 as a creature made up of a hundred cows combined into one with arms.
The story of the Wolf Woman of Mobile was first published in newspapers on April 8th, 1971. This Alabama monster was reported over 50 times in one week. Witnesses claim that the top half of the creature was that of a human woman, but the bottom half was that of a wolf. Many people described the creature as “pretty and hairy”. Some believe that this creature may have been a werewolf. However, after 10 days of sightings, calls stopped and the creature was never seen again.
Jackalopes are my favorite cryptid, so I decided to stitch one featuring the night sky!

In Washington State killing Bigfoot is a felony but in Texas Bigfoot is considered an invasive species and can be hunted at will.
This sounds like one of those cutesy funny cryptid posts but that is actually the legal status of Bigfoot in those two states, you can look it up.

These sketches were drawn by Owen Burnham of a globster known as Gambo. The 15 year old measured the strange creature on June 12, 1983, when he found it on a beach in Islamic Republic of The Gambia. It measured to be “15 - 16 feet long”. While some believed the creature to be a dolphin, it had two nostrils at the tip of its snout, which dolphins do not. The body was not DNA tested as Burnham claims he did not think to take samples until he realized he could not identify the creature in any books.
