Someone earlier in the thread posted some great bigfoot stuff from Men's Adventure mags, and I just got this amazing book:





Which reprints some choice "true" stories and illustrations. Posts ITT have been making me think about much the more ephemeral old media like magazines and TV contribute to our shared narrative of these subjects. I was totally unaware of the Men's Adventure angle to bigfoot until that poster brought it up, and I wonder how much things like that have unconsciously shaped what we "know" about cryptids.

I've been watching some of the Buzzfeed Unsolved Network youtube videos and it's fun to watch skeptic Shane constantly troll his nervous tru-believer friend Ryan when they're stumbling around that week's creepy location but their "investigations" are the usual garbage. Here's one about the Old Alton Bridge which is supposedly haunted by a demonic entity known locally as The Goatman

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XEZfGlyLQnA

Throughout the video they try to play up the idea that the bridge has been abandoned for decades and it's now way out in the middle of nowhere but if you check out google maps it's been surrounded by suburbia for a long while and it's currently right next to a softball facility and a game store. :v:

There's a high school just across the road but their school mascot is a wildcat which is a real missed opportunity IMHO

Ah gently caress me I just went and looked up Gentleshaw Common on google maps and this story is even dumber than I'd assumed at first. It's a goddamn park.

https://www.google.com/maps/place/G...9256944!5m1!1e4

The Common itself is open heath. There's a small amount of 'woodlands' just to the north but they're mostly pine plantations interspersed with golf courses, quarries, playgrounds and holiday camps, and the surrounding countryside is mostly farmland and housing estates. It's a brisk stroll away from Stafford, Wolverhampton and Birmingham and you're not going to find bigfoot in loving Wolverhampton

It's also "interesting" that there's only one footprint when the surrounding ground is soft too.

Pretty sure that's just leaves.

Should have made up a leaf based cryptid instead.
