    I'll always find it funny that parents would make up these monster stories to keep their kids from running into the woods at night as if what can actually happen to you if you get lost in the dark woods isn't scary enough😂

    • @dammitanothername

      Quite often I think that is what is going on. However, there are native stories of cryptids. Up north they have stories of "little people". A kid actually went missing. about preschool age. There was nothing for as far as the eye could see, and he straggled behind, parents went back to the dip where he should have been just moments ago and he was gone. You'd think maybe a sneaky wolf got him or something. Except he came back when he was about 18. No other tribes had him all that time (they looked, there wasn't any place to hide him), and there's no way a preschooler could have hid and survived 14ish years on their own. He said he lived with the little people. Long dead now. The elders that knew him are passing away. So this was quite a long time ago. Frankly, at that time the dominant society would pretty much like for every native kid to go missing and never come back. So no one outside of the native community cared. believe, don't believe, i don't care. Just use caution when you're in the wilderness. i don't receive messages or replies.

    My personal fave. of vampires would be European vampire, such as Dracula, and I also like the Jiang-Shi. I didn't know, for the mythology of the Jiang-Shi, that a person could become one by being struck by lightening, or an animal stepping/hopping over the corpse. Always learning something new with your videos! Well done, and thank you!

    As always you never fail to make episodes that I love. I guess the main allure for vampires is the idea of everlasting life. Me personally? I would rather die eventually and stay dead, thank you very much. Because, if we go back to the origins (Eastern Vampire aka reanimated corpse) I really don't want anything to do with it. 😂😅
    At this point I wish I could somehow know more about the people who work for this channel. Somehow I find that your videos echo thoughts and ideas that I've found in my own mind. the way you develop your storytelling just feels deeply familiar But, hey! I'm as obsessed with Mythology as you all seem to be. It's a true passion.

    Scooby-Doo and the Monster of Mexico is one of the worst movies for its cultural accuracy. The Chupacabra is depicted as an extraterrestrial creature that resembles a bug-eyed lizard or a dog with spikes on its back that was discovered in Puerto Rico in the mid-1990s. I have no idea why they depict it as a purple sasquatch that is not native to Mexico. The real monsters of Mexico are La Llorona, Ahuizotl, and El Charro Negro.

Currently working on a suspense/mystery tale inspired by the myth/legend. It's so much fun to work on it and I can’t wait to finish it someday.😆

    I appreciate your video, and the research you put into it. However, the oldest reference to a creature with vampiric qualities comes from Mesopotamia. They were referenced under the term UDUG. Many creatures fell into this classification. REMEMBER that the cross and 'HOLY" icons are NOT effective against non -Abrahamic types. This idea came from Eastern Europe and does not encompass the Babylonian, Japanese, African, etc. Some are pumpkins from E. Europe.
