Module 5 Photo Remix "American Cryptids"

 

Image reads "American Cryptids". Features images of the Pope Lick Monster, Mothman, Ogopogo, Wendigo, Sasquatch, The Squonk, Skinwalker, the Lizard Man of Scape Ore Swamp, and the Rougarou


Here is a remix of a selection of cryptids that reside in North America. The image includes the Pope Lick Monster (Louiseville, Kentucky), the Wendigo (Plains and Great Lake Natives), the Rougarou (Louisiana), the Ogopogo (British Columbia, Canada), the Jersey Devil (New Jersey) and others. As this blog is going to be more about horror stories, sci-fi, and cryptids, this felt relevant especially after my previous post on Mothman.

A wendigo is never just a wendigo or some horrifying cannibal, it has a meaning to the Algonquin people. Its story helped shape their people's attitudes and history. Other than that, I am a 29 year old male. Born in the city of Lexington, Kentucky, I was a spry young lad with infinite potential and dreams lain before my path. I excelled in reading and art and found love in writing... All of which went down the drain once I discovered videogames and destroyed my attention span. There is no joy in the game anymore.
