Karl Shuker debunked the Trunko cryptid theory some years back (it's in the May 2011 edition of the Fortean Times too). I'm sure it's on his blog somewhere as well. He also found a fifth photo of Trunko in 2022. He also actually coined the name "Trunko" in 1996, in his book "The Unexplained". I like Simon's videos but sometimes they're not researched thoroughly enough.

The Rougarou's compulsion to count is shared by some vampire legends (and a few fairy legends, come to think of it). Though, I would argue the vampire version is less stupid. It is said you can prevent a vampire from entering your home by leaving a pile of seeds or grain outside your door, the vampire will be compelled to count them, but because of their long fingernails, they will often drop the seeds forcing them to start over. And this goes on until the sun rises and the vampire is forced to return to its grave. Anyone else think it's crazy that the Count Von Count from Sesame Street actually fits into vampire folklore?

Fun fact: While the death worm does sound silly, there is actually a type of ant with a similar self destruct attack. When it gets wounded and can't fight anymore it contracts it's abdomen until is bursts a bladder filled with either poison or acid, I forget which, and sprays it all over it's enemies.

The “trunk” is probably the neck vertebrae or back bone after the skull had detached and fallen Tho even with a skull, whale skeletons look weird compared to the animal, one time I told my little cousin that the picture on her new t-shirt was a whale skeleton, and she said, “I thought it was a dinosaur”

Which in retrospect is a pretty huge weakness for a monster that lives mostly in swamps and other wetlands.

I seen a death worm. They was very hard to kill. I mean I had to get pass them first and close the door behind me and kill two plant creatures and build my magic up to finally kill them. It was crazy. I killed them with a fire ball spell.

Are we sure the rougarou isn’t just a coyote/wolf or another canine/dog that got rabies? Seems plausible that’s where it originally came from an then was used as a scare tactic for kids etc. It would also explain why it is able to turn human into monster and the 100 days later thing kinda makes sense too. Get bit by a rabid dog/wolf etc and before too long depending where you got bitten (tho not immediately) rabies will take hold and you’ll seem like you’ve turned into a monster. Makes a lot of sense tbh.

Now do a decoding the unknown on all of them

“Half dog... half otter... all nightmare..?” Lol oh, Simon... you do make me laugh, good sir. You do make me laugh.

I wasn't expecting to hear of a criptid from Leitrim!! I'm from a neighbouring county (Cavan) and i'd never heard tell of it before!

I've seen the second one. It scared the shit out of me while rock fishing. Just out of chance I turned around and spotted it. Lucky for me my legs and arms did the thinking. It looked well pissed off with me. No, it was not a bull seal. It's head was standing about a meter out of the water. Big black evil looking eyes. Fine and dense hair that was kinda mottled. Some grey spots. The black hair seemed weird. Like it was absorbing light somehow. Never saw it's jaw as that was underwater. I waited for about 10 minutes before I legged it down and grabbed my gear. Never gone back there. I'm pretty handy at identifying marine fauna. I've tried playing it as perhaps an artic mammal that got lost. Like a manatee. No chance.

Wait wait wait, so you were fishing for rocks? Wtf kinda bait you use to catch a rock? And are you sure you were fishing for rocks and not smoking em? Cause I saw a ufo a couple times but it only happened when I was high on weed and shrooms and it turned out I was actually looking at the ground and not the sky... who'da thunk it🤔

The Mongolian death worms could be a situation of racial memory of giant earthworms. These creatures are inches wide and many feet long, found in Australia, and (I believe) in some parts of North America, though they may be smaller there. The "Bigfoot" may also be racial memory of times when man lived next to or in the local of extant ancient man/creatures. Racial memory has a long lifespan, and could be part of the foundation of some of the cryptic stories. Of course, there are instances of fake cryptid creatures designed to lure tourists.

The one common factor of all cryptids is their uncanny ability to make every image filmed of them appear as if it was filmed with a 1980s vintage VHS camera with grease smeared on the lens.

One of the reasons why us Cajuns used the Rougarou to scare the young kids was because it would scare the kids from sneaking out at night. Because the bayou’s and swamps really aren’t the safest place for kids to go out wondering around. If it also had the added benefit of making sure that the kids also attended mass on Sundays was an extra benefit.

IDK about you, but that cleaned up still of the frogman did NOT look faked. I'm just never going outside again.

crossed my mind too, lol i used to be a menace back in the 00's when Adobe first made it mainstream. The new AI is off the charts good, that's why it gave me pause. It's almost too poorly done to be AI. It was either a frog costume or a pre-historic iphone.@@olencone4005

Roy Chapman Andrews? Isn't he the fellow that was once one of the Gobi Desert fossil hunters for the American Museum for Natural History in NYC? I recall that he has a dinosaur named after him. Back in the 1929 and 30s, I think.

Nice Lovecraft reference.

1:31 Why would he open fire if it wasn’t a threat? There’s major paperwork any time an officers discharges their weapon in the line of duty.

He thought it was a black dude... apparently if a cop shoots one of them there is no paperwork and they get a raise... after a few are shot another person of color comes up with a 80 millon $ scam saying black lives matter which in turn starts riots and more killings but no one seems to worry or care about where the money went... buy yeah hope this explanation clears that up for ya...🤗😉🫡

Very cool

As a man who's watched several shows about cryptids (Animal X, Destination Truth, MonsterQuest, and Fact or Faked: Paranormal Files), I took the title of this video as a challenge. And the only one I'm not really familiar with was the Dobhar-Chu.

I love folklore and mythology. I also read a lot of C19th and early C20th horror stories….

I remember hearing about the Mongolian Death Worm on a show called Lost Tapes.

the Mongolian deathworm can't be that obscure, there is literally a Scooby Doo episode featuring it lol on one of the DVD's I watched extensively as a child on long car rides

Fact Boy has a golden voice.
