my choice is a two-way tie. Siren Head and Cartoon Cat. Siren Head is a humanoid creature that stands at 40 feet tall and has a pair of siren speakers for a head hence it's name. it can camouflage and use it's sirens as a way to attract human prey, it does this by mimicking human voices, radio broadcasts and even animal. Cartoon Cat is stated to be the most dangerous of all of Trevor Henderson's monsters. he has the appearance of a anthropomorphic cat from a cartoon of the 1930s (doubt Micky Mouse will survive a fight with him) due to him being a rubber hose type, he can stretch his arms to grab any human that encounters him. the only way to basically kill him is with Dip from Who Framed Roger Rabbit. it might not kill permanently but enough to escape with your life.

We need a part two of this list because there are so many spooky folklore creatures and cryptids out there.

Jesey Devil was the first creature which I came to know as cryptid. Then, I come to know about chupacabra and other creatures like loch ness monster, yeti, bigfoot, colossal squid, sun lion, man - eating tree of Madagascar, ahool etc. But the most terrifying of all was none other than chupacabra. But there are some cryptids like colecanth fish, komodro dragon, okapi etc. whose existence are proved. So cryptozoology is not entirely a useless study or research in terms of systematic biology.

I must also consider Bunyip who is actually my first cryptid but on that time, I didn't know that that kind of monsters or creatures are called cryptids from the Bengali adventure novel of "Chander Pahar or Mountain of the Moon". The monster was depicted in Africa as the creature idea of the author (Bibhutibhushan Bandhopadhyay) while according to myths, it is the legend of Australia (I really don't know whether bunyip exists in Africa but according to websites, it is only showing Australia). The kappa tortoises of Japan can also be first cryptids from watching cartoons like Doraemon, Ninja Hattori etc. but like bunyip, I don't know that they are known as cryptids (I don't know whether kappa are only legendary creatures or cryptids but I think both of them have minor differences, legendary creatures mean those creatures of legend or myths whose evidence of existence is not found concretely whereas cryptids are also entities of folklore but there are unconfirmed evidences of such creatures like photographs, video tapes, footprints etc.) I don't know whether this definition is accurate but I think if some evidences of legendary creatures like griffin, unicorn, nagas are discovered, they will turn into cryptids.

in my first sleep paralysis incident i saw a tall dark figure standing in the corner of my room. it floated to my bedside and leaned right over me so we were face to face. i couldn't see any facial features. just complete nothingness. my gf at the time said i was making noises and looked like i was trying to move but couldn't. i woke up gasping for air and straight into a panic attack. that tall dark figure is a recurring nightmare with my sleep paralysis. along with some beast biting into my neck. sleep paralysis used to freak me out at first but now it's more like " ahhhh shit, here we go again" lol

The Jiangshi, and Dulahan have been portrayed in Shaman King and Durarara respectively. Would like to see more of this list myself.

The Strigoi are my favorite among vampire myths and legends. I've heard of the Jiangshi from a book I bought from my middle school book fair several years ago and I still have to this day

I have to imagine netflix is pretty tight fisted about its content getting into these sort of videos. The most recent season of unsolved mysteries on there includes an episode with mention of a s k i n w a l k e r encounter. Paranormal Rangers is the title.

Aswang and Tiyanak, the Aswang is almost like a skin walker able to shapeshift to anything it wants, feeds on mostly people but sometimes live stock, it's sound is also weird, when it sounds like it's closeby, it's actually far, but when it sounds like it's far. well.. 2nd, the Tiyanak, almost like a changeling, a monster baby that preys on empathy, it cries at night in a forest or secluded places hoping to find its next meal.

The most scariest monster on the Philippines was TikTik, it's name is based on its animal sound they say "Tik tik tik tik." in a tiny voice, they prey on pregnant woman or toddler, they have awful smell like a rotten fish or corpse. If you heard it's sound so quite it means it's nearby, when you hear them loud it means they're faraway. And they had this hairy features and long tongue. I'm not speaking of it as folklore or legend, i experienced it, back on 2009 my aunt was pregnant and we have family gathering and suddenly we smell something awful or rotten then we heard a sound saying, "tik-tik." it's quite, then a huge bounce on our neighbors roof we heard it again then my cousin saw something staring at certain room, it's my aunt's room. Then all of us arm ourselves with garlic and salt we can't fight it with blades or something, because it's bloods poisonous and cursed. Then we heard it again but it's to loud it means it goes away. It's true man, I'm not lying i still remember the sound and the smell

Fact: the Mara inspired the Walrider from Outlast!

I'm happy that Manananggal is in the list. It's unique here in the Philippines and even up to this day many people believes they exist.

One of the creepiest the Nordic mythology has must be The Draugr.

In the netherlands we have the Witte wieven. well i think this part of the book i bought explains it better In Dutch mythology and legends, the Witte Wieven (also known as Wittewijven) are spirits of "wise women" (or else elven beings). The mythology dates back at least to the pre-Christian era (7th century) and was known in the present-day regions of the Netherlands, Belgium and parts of France. In some places they were known as Juffers or Joffers ("ladies"), or as Dames Blanches (White Ladies) in French.

There's something about a singular monster that's so much more terrifying than multiple...

Wendigo...that's the only 1 I can name off-hand.

If you people have never seen what a Jiangshi is, then watch that one episode of kung fu, panda legends of awesomeness, where it shows a Possessed Master Shifu become one! And Po to in defense of fighting Jiangshi master Shifu

woah, i didn't expect manananggal would be the no. 1 lol. but yeah, there's a certain province here in the philippines that's said to be their and so many witches' (mangkukulam) home (they are often associated together). ofc it can always be just tales and myths, but it's worth pointing the fact that most (if not all) bus drivers there sternly warn their passengers to never buy food from just anybody and only eat on stores where they would stop. my dad's friends learned the hard way when they didn't listen and spent a month in the hospital. they didn't even know what hit them but it was only after buying from a street vendor near the terminal. everytime my dad goes there for business for many years, the same warning was always repeated. townsfolk said the witches/manananggal do that to lure fresh victims.

Just bust open a creature compendium from most fantasy TTRPGs and you will find a bunch of these (or their modern incarnations). And yes many of the entries in those books are just modern creations, but the Monster Manual's rakshasa, chimera, doppelganger, and wight are far scarier than any chupacabra, and still based in folklore.

The eeriest creature in my culture, Navajo, is the Skinwalker. Not eerie but Bigfoot is also a small part of our culture. Not traditionally but there have been sightings of Bigfoot on Navajo lands. Edit: Just saw Skinwalkers made the top 10. FYI those masked dancers at 9:58-10:07 are not Skinwalkers. They are recreated dances personifying sacred Navajo deities. Also, those are photos taken by the late photographer Edward Curtis. Who is still controversial to this day about the subject of Native American representation.

In my opinion, the Dullahan is much more scary than the American Headless Horseman of Sleepy Hallow. Jorgumo are known to be evil, then how were they able to make the spider girl from the manga Monster Musume named Rachnera be good? Should've added Dearg Due, the Irish Vampire to this list.
