Cryptic Encounters?

Submitted by Gree-Grump t3_zuq413 in newhampshire

If you’ve had any, please post. I need to know if these are real or just someone’s drug trip…I’ve had one of my own, but I need more proof.

I don’t think the Wood Devils have been spotted much in the last 40 or so years.

There’s always Pukwudgies too. Sightings go back to the pre-colonial days.

Of course 🙄. Nobody has seen them for 40 years and yet no video evidence.

Supposedly coos county has the Woods Devil's. They're like skinny bigfoot that hide behind trees.

My family lived up north every summer when I was a kid. My first job was washing dishes at the local restaurant at 15. The job was great, most especially because they'd make me a cheeseburger for lunch every day but I had to eat it in the diner area, not the main restaurant. I preferred that though because that's where the old timers would drink coffee and shoot the shit.

There was always a funny conversation going on with plenty of gossip and I would just keep quiet and listen in -- when they weren't teasing me for being a lowlander. More than once the conversations would be about wood devils, and so-and-so had seen one, or some area where someone wouldn't go because of them. This wasn't telling tales, these guys were 100% bought in. Not obsessive, but like they were just part of the landscape or another animal, but creepy and to be avoided.

I'm sure some old-school real northerners can give a better idea of the beliefs up there, but that's my take.

Sweet, when I get a car, I just wanna cruise out there and sit in the middle of the woods for a week to see anything. I just want to know.

A mountain lion sighting is about the closest thing to a cryptic you’re going to get.

No I'm not superstitious or insane so I never see such things

Something moved my Wyze outdoor cam very slowly and smoothly to the right so that it was pointing to a boarded up door. It happened at 230 in the morning. It has an internal battery no cord. It does not pan. Its out sitting flat on the shelf in the garage...part of an 1880s carriage house.

I stopped showing the video to people because they got very angry when I told them I could not explain it. They were expecting some kind of explanation and I was thinking they might come up with something.

Now and then it triggers on motion between 230 and 330 but the green box that appears goes around the whole picture..not to one spot.

I just said "enough" and disabled it.

Wendigo type thing that walked up to my tent camping in Portsmouth, I can still distinctly remember the sound of it walking up and peering in through the screen because we didn’t close it. I could see it with my eyes closed and it felt evil, half goat/deer

Baphomet went on a bender and ended up 40 miles north of his home in Salem, MA. The Satanic Temple is under new management and makes sure he has a designated driver these days.

The skeptic in me would say that most have a phone camera on them 100% of the time, not to mention trail cams being such an easy way to leave a camera somewhere remote, there really ought to be some photographic proof by now. Thay being said, there are some woods no one wants to be in at night, there is something that causes a visceral reaponse...and I am not sure why that is.

I believe there is a recorded Bigfoot sighting in Lee

Beings that haunt traffic islands with pitiful hand-lettered signs begging for alms. More prevalent in daylight hours.
