As a Kanien’kehá:ka(Mohawk), this makes me very happy to see! Indigenous peoples don’t get much representation. Feels great to see some of turtle island’s stories!
Your people have such a rich culture and stories. I would love to hear more.
Love from Kenya, East Africa
I kinda like it that way oddly?
Walla Walla (Warm Springs)
Me too I love to see our people's stories get told (I'm Cherokee)
In like the 4th grade we learned about tribes that we could pick, I went first and picked the Mohawk, I really enjoyed reading and designing a house after traditional Mohawk houses or long house I think they’re called
@@HeadphonesOn1011 We call them longhouses or kanonhsésne! And we still have them today! But now we use them to practice major ceremonies and socialize! It’s a great place of gathering:)
Im 25% Cherokee on my father's side of the family, and im just glad that native American history is still being shown on UA-cam.
I'm so interested in native American culture
@@Wendussy_2023 I actually had an experience with the Cherokee devil when I was 10 years old. It was in the mountains on the outskirts of Shippensburg Pennsylvania.
@@bradhaley8432 tell me more what happened?
@Wendigo_2023 me and a friend were on a mountain trail that led to a clearing, and we were looking at what we thought originally was a black bear that was about 11 feet in front of us,then it stood up and I didn't know what I was looking at. It was only after I got back home that I looked up bipedal apes. I only knew at the time that what I saw wasn't a human,it was gray in color,it stood at 11 feet tall, and it had crimson red eyes. I decided to check into some Cherokee legends, and that was when I was 100% certain that I saw a Cherokee devil. To this day, I never said anything to anyone, and to this day, the red eyes are not only burned into my memory, but I still tremble when I think about that day. It takes a lot to get me scared, and that day, I was scared for my life. To this day, I still refuse to go back to that mountain.
@@bradhaley8432 that's scary bro
I'm apart of an Ojibwa tribe.. I've heard this story from my great uncle when i was a child and scared me since 😅
Honestly the one that terrifies me the most is the vengeful spirit… not only does one die with hatred in his heart towards someone… but it is inevitable that when you die… all the bad parts of your soul haunts your friends and loved ones
And the concept of the chindi closely resembles real life paranormal activity. Wherever there's been some messed up stuff that happened in the location's history and the perpetrator spent a large amount of their life there if not died there, their evil energy lingers as a dark entity that's hostile towards anyone that spends too much time there. Amazingly, the rituals the Navajo would have done to try to expel a potential chindi were probably not unlike smudging and other cleansing rituals still done today to get rid of dark spirits.
I thought the soul was only the "Good" parts of you.
I would like to see these three fight each other in a battle royal. One can't die, one destroyed a mythological God, and the other will recruit the loser and gain up on the winner.
My wife is Native American. So, I'm going to guess...her sister?
Lmao. Ouch.
This is so messy I love it 😹😹😹😹
Ouchie ouch
That was nasty.
What about your mother-in-law?
I gotta say John I REALLY admire the effort you put in to all of your videos to accurately portray and explain different cultures to people who most likely arnt from that culture. It's made me really fascinated with other parts of the world
There also the ghost-witch revenant the Skademagutc, and the Nelusa Falaya ("black long being") who serve the Nalusa Chito/Impa Shilup ("great long being"). Both can use soul-flight, but the ghost-witch's are similiar to the one of the Strigoi, sucking blood/vitality/nutrens from their victims.
Latin american folklore and african folklore when ?
Pukwudgies aren’t just in MA! A lot of sightings are, for sure, but we have sightings in CT also.
Wendigos scare the crap out of me.
Same
Having made appropriate sacrifices to the like button (already subbed), I then went on to share on tumblr & my family discord followed by commenting. Thus was sacrifice made to the algorithm gods.
pukwudgies aren't just in Massachusetts, They're seen throughout PA, Ohio and Indiana. The southern part of the state's national forest is home to some, as is Mounds State park in Indiana.. these wear blue cloaks and glowing eyes like wild cats/dogs but glow without the light reflecting. Though the best place to find em is in Mounds. (Around / outside of Anderson IN, and sadly due to people being stupid, Mounds is closed after dark.)
I LOVE learning about indigenous lore! 🤩
Indigenous folks always got the best stories, man.
As an indigenous person: why are we like this? Why are our myths and stories so brutal? 😭
Maybe because you all are tough as hell?
The stories have life lessons that they teach with out you actually having to experience what they are warning you about. Teaching through fear/caution basically
The Puckwudjie may have been tampered with by Christians, because the Anishinaabeg version aren't anywhere near as bad & the Baykok is only part of a fuller understanding. There's good stuff, too, so it's not all psychotic. But, at the end of the day, two of these are pretty much equivalents of demons in that culture.
I'm guessing the legends are so brutal because indigenous peoples kept getting f@*ked over by almost everyone else. They couldn't get literal revenge, so they got it symbolically.
Gotta keep the kids in line man 😂 What better way than to scar them for life
Ciguapa, is a Taino term for a legendary female nocturnal being that lives in the mountains of the Dominican Republic and Eastern Cuba. The Ciguapa is a well-known figure in Dominican folklore and is described as having:
Brown or dark blue skin
Backward-facing feet
Long, smooth, glossy hair that covers her body
I read that it was Guatemalan mythology
Awesome video. You should do one on creatures of Latin America folklore
Yes!!! We all fear La Llorona!
its kinda funny how easily i can imagine why each story was created, humans really like our theatrics but the general well wishes of each myth kinda mirrors how today we might use cartoons and videogames to tell the same kinda values to kids. we spice up the stories to make em gripping, and you can learn from the stories for a good chunk of your life and still get new information from it. the way we do it has changed but were still using art to try to reassure kids and warn them of pitfalls.
Yeah, I'd rather not be haunted be a chindi. I already have TONS of problems IRL including moderate depression and all that pain and suffering will multiply it to excruciating levels.
Man, I gotta say, I think having a rock for a liver, and then walking home just to die anyway, that one's the worst.
I actually have a pukwudgie character in my fantasy series. He goes by the nickname 'Red Cap' and is a computer hacker.
This was worth the wait but as quickly as I got into it it was over
Another delightful video😍😍😍
Bravo, I really love this episode
Oh my gosh I'm so excited! At work just keep looking at the time!😂
Love your videos ❤ literally all of your videos for YEARS have been consistently awesome!
If the organ stolen was a kidney instead of the liver, the Bakok story could be about organ harvesters.
Ermm,, its still an organ. Soo yes it could be about organ harvesters.
@@JKRavenBlood True. But the liver would be fatal. That's why most modern organ harvesters just take one kidney. Dark stuff.
Knowing that liver can re construct itself even if a small piece is remained the hunter probs died of infection
What an incredibly captivating and informative video!
You should do a video about Kushtikas. They are otter people who the local natives where I live are scared of.
My home state! I always heard stories growing up, so happy to learn more!
I'm so excited to see more inspiration for my research!
I'm new to your channel and I'm just hearing that you're local to this case! I grew up in New Castle, 15 minutes from Williminton DE. It's so cool to come across a channel from where I grew up. I currently live in Oregon ❤
A Major Lesson of folklore...Pay The Piper!!
Don't cheat the medicine man who is capable of defeating evil spirits that are already ruining your life.
Pay the Damn Piper!
Mr. Solo, these Native American stories are amazing! I bet each tribe has cool stories like this! Does anyone have a book recommendation?
Hats off to these tribes, survival was no joke to be sure.
Gotta love the timeline names 😂
Love your shirt. Good video too.
LIVER EATERS MUST BE AVOIDED! The Baykok reminds me of a few spirits in Cherokee lore, Spearfinger and the Stone Man, with a similar appetite. They're not undead, but are just as terrifying.
Great episode 👏👏👏
Interesting ❤❤❤❤ Thank You ❤❤❤
The accuracy. You reach did your research. Bravo
every few months my hankering for jon solo videos comes back
Good to see this video finally passed!
I waited for this vid.
I haven’t heard about Baykok since reading about it as a child. I remember reading his bones rattle when he walks.
YES! Finaly someone covered Pickwudgies! Def my favorite cryptid! They can also mimic speach; so awesomeluy spooky... "Who that?"
Very incredible.
Jon solo when it comes down to you doing book mythology stuff in real life folklore you are always on 100% point and you do not miss when it comes down to Folklore
And to add to my other comment your videos helped me with a project I had to do
Glad that this video lives up to expectations, but that sponsor transition would've been perfect for Surf Shark VPN.
The Pukwudges are considered a symbol in the livermorning house that is the place of those who like to heal mostly.
Ah my fav topic🥰
So I have a possible expansion idea for your messed up Origins. Maybe you could see if there's any messed up origins in famous sayings. Like One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush, or other such sayings that are well known. I've always wondered how sayings came to be as well known as they are
Question where did the poison-tipped arrows come from if he walked until he collapsed and then stayed there for years 🤔
That last one reminds me of the Grudge.
Very good advice. Pay attention to your surroundings. Situational awareness will save your life
But there is a whole group of people out there who think that being aware of your surroundings is nosy and you should just ignore everything going on around you to be polite. They're stupid and they die easy
Every single Thursday except when Friday is the new Thursday
Another amazing video! My active imagination will be my enemy later and I have to turn the lights on before I sleep.
Can you please talk about Aztec or Mexican folklore some day? No pressure to do it, just a suggestion. Love your videos Jon, as a writer they helped me a lot as references for my stories 💕
MORE!! MORE!!
Hey Jon and Sister Solo👋
I prefer none of the three...damn those stories will keep me up at night
Hi Jon solo I’m not sure if you are going to get this but if you do I love your stuff and it is so great because I love mythology and I am so glad I found this Chanel my favourite episode is the Wendigo story’s ❤
Theres a movie called DreamKeepers that i think would be of interest to you john. Its a good Watch.
Baykok is a lot more complicated than that. These are usually given as either people whose body was mishandled or mistreated or people who had committed such terrible crimes, the other souls kicked them out of the afterlife & they became trapped in this one. In some stories, they fly through the sky, raining blight. In others, they try to lure people from their villages at night, attempting to either assault them or desperately seeking forgiveness for whatever they have done. Only a shaman can exoricse a supposed Baykok by very specific burial rituals, taking extra care to show utmost respect for the body & extra steps to stop it from rising again.
Interestingly, the Wampanoag consider the Puckwudjies evil, but the Anishinaabeg actually consider them neutral, ergo they might not be all that bad. Either way, I think I hit on the existence of, maybe, five completely different races of Little People that Algonquians collectively believed in- ones of forests, waterways, swamps, caves & rocks. The forest type, I think, were the most beloved. Allegedly, those swamp lights literally are the souls the Puckwudjie have enslaved. I've heard from some other Algonquians that they are also considered a general good-behavior enforcement thing- they come after you for exhibiting wrong behavior to scare you straight, kind of like the Iroquois Dry Fingers.
I'm going to subscribe to your channel now, lets see how you manage the locals embrace. Maybe you'll learn something only they can teach chou.
I am a Cape Codder who lives on Wampanoag land here since I was 3 years old, 40 years ago. Most people I know on Cape Cod call the little magic people of Wampanoag legend simply “pukwudgies”. I’ve seen the way you said it in a book I think, but never actually heard anyone say it that way. Nice storytelling overall though. I grew up on Cape Cod with stories of Maushop and the pukwudgies and it’s always interesting to see what pops up about local legends 😂
*The Emperor of Mankind* is also a native american monster .. 😱
The most Interesting out of all of these to me have got to be the chindi, and adds to the list of my favorite native legends including the wendigo and skinwalker as well as the dead man walking.
The baykok is more sophisticated than the wendigo
3:13 a census taker tried to interview me, I ate his liver with Fava beans and a nice Chianti.
I like the Micmac Chenoo.
The pugwudgies are actually featured in Harry Potter lore
Yes! You should cover "the tale of the great camel race"!!!
Just commenting for the algorithm 💜
If you’re covering Native American stories, I’d suggest a story called The Great Meatball. It’s a story from the Comanche, and can be found in a collection called Hold Up the Sky: And Other Native American Tales from Texas and the Southern Plains. Not gonna spoil what it’s about, but needless to say, it’s bizarre.
I am happy you used the real wendigo and not the pathfinder antler thing
I gotta wonder if the Chidi came to the salt people soon after contact with previously unknown Europeans (carrying previously unknown germs).
How's about a video about the Nennehe? The People Who Live Everywhere, from the Cherokee Peoples history and mythology?
Would it be possible for you to do some Messed Up Origins on superstitions? Like, where did they come from? How did so many people start to believe them?
Can you do a messed up origins video of unicorns next?
Can you do an episode on the Bouda or Werehyena for Ethiopian legend
Do one for Jamaica like the Watta Mama.
Dis channel is sum special
thas u
JK Rowling used Pukwudgies in her stories about her school of witchcraft and wizardry in America. Not being from the US myself it was the first time I’d heard/read of them.
Loved your video.
Very informative.
Can you do a video for Prometheus
Despite what was said on that website, Jon actually pronounced the pukwedge name right the first time
I live in Ontario, pretty near the Algonquin park, and I have only ever had one really intense paranormal event happen ever, I went to Depot Harbour. Which is the site of a massive tragedy, essentially a whole bunch of metal(that’s was volatile as hell) ignited, and the result was the largest man made explosion until the Halifax Harbour incident.
Well the area is on a reservation itself, and since has been largely reclaimed by the forest itself, but some remnants remain there, long story short, I took my ex there to do a “spooky Halloween” photoshoot ( Idek why I was with her looking back she was so shallow)
Anyways we went out late late at night, and we were standing in the remains of a old building, when I heard something that just put my skins hair on end, it was like footsteps approaching from the wooded area. So, I told my ex to run back to my car and we started the car up and I drove, here’s where shit went a little insane, so this areas pretty normal to see a stray dog or even just a dog that is let roam.
Well when I’m screaming out of the area on a small dirt backroad (I can’t really explain it but I really felt like something was off and dangerously so)
A massive black dog charged out of the woods and started running at my car and barking.
This thing wasn’t a “dog” that I recognized if anything it looked bigger than a Great Dane. And it was pitch black, with almost yellow eyes. I almost crashed off the road to avoid it, but I’ve NEVER seen an animal act like that.. and hell I know dogs, to this day I’ve looked at as many breeds as I can to see if maybe I saw something, but no to this day not even a black malamute would
Match this thing in both size and stature.
Oh and my ex said (I’ll admit I didn’t see it) but she said people kept popping up as I drove standing on the edge of the wood line as we drove away.
To this day. I have no idea what it was, but that animal put more fear in me than a fully grown hippo charging ( I’m South African but live here now) and like that’s enough for me, someone very comfortable in the outdoors and woods to say. All I felt was terror when I saw that “dog”
It was like an accumulation of all the anxiety of the night so far in one glance.
Only afterwords did I find out you should not wear bright Colors to any form of graveyard/ disaster site, as my friend who is culturally Ojibway explained to me, she was wearing bright red lingerie and brightly coloured clothing as well..
Yeah I feel like I 100% got something mad by bringing her there. And frankly
After everything that happened with her, that would be fair enough lol.
Year 5 : I am still asking for a windigoon and jon solo collab
Native American folklore is some of the most interesting in the world
You should do videos about ghosts from India Japan and Indonesia
Have you any from here in Australia? The only mythical one I can think of at the moment is a bunyip.
It’s been 6 months since I watched this channel
Having your organs devoured by an undead creature with a vortex stomach is more scary than a modern infectious, brain munching zombie, heck the creature would even give the Vampiric Dracula a run for his money, I'd rather be munched on head on by a Werewolf than to find that I'd be suffering to death after having to discover one of my vital innards missing.
5:46 fallout reference? Probably not, but maybe.
nice video
I would not want anyone of these monsters coming for me
The evil spirit seems to have the most kill count, compared to the Wendigo.
Pukwudgieninni's (sorry), also sound as a redcap. Soo where a European folklore needs 2 entities, an American native folklore needs 1.
12:37 I REALLY don't think it can!!!
