Folk Bestiary: Cryptids, Folklore, and Legends

Folk Bestiary is an archive of cryptids, myths, and folklore from around the world. From Bigfoot and Mothman to regional ghost stories and forgotten legends, it gathers creatures and mysteries that continue to haunt human imagination. These tales sit at the edge of truth, where the line between fact and myth blurs.
Each story reflects who we are, where we come from, and the fears and hopes we carry. Strangeness lingers everywhere, whether in shadowed forests, remote lakes, or the hidden corners of our own minds. The bestiary serves as a guide to the paranormal, an atlas of the uncanny, and a record of the stories that shape how we see the world.
