North American Cryptids

A fun map showing many of the North American Cryptids in the locations where they have been sighted.
Co-founder of Cryptomundo in 2005.
I have appeared in or contributed to the following TV programs, documentaries and films:
OLN's Mysterious Encounters: "Caddo Critter", Southern Fried Bigfoot, Travel Channel's Weird Travels: "Bigfoot", History Channel's MonsterQuest: "Swamp Stalker", The Wild Man of the Navidad, Destination America's Monsters and Mysteries in America: Texas Terror - Lake Worth Monster, Animal Planet's Finding Bigfoot: Return to Boggy Creek and Beast of the Bayou.
That’s actually pretty cool. There do seem to be regions where certain types of critters are more often seen–thinking of the water cryptids seem to show up in similar areas. Whether that’s because they’re there or stories get passed around in nearby areas leading to spreading stories may be a point of contention, but there is the possibility of cryptids only being in certain areas.
And the map’s not quite complete because there is a host of water cryptid sightings in the Great Lakes and around. White River monster and a few others 🙂 Not to mention that BF has been seen in most states save the central states–at least in larger numbers of sightings over time.
Still, it’s a worthwhile map to have on hand in case your vacationing and want to stop by some haunts…
Hmmm, noticeably absent are two cryptids from the state of Maryland.
They would be the Goatman and Chessie.
