What's Halloween season without monsters and some of the best monsters are the legendary creatures that lurk within the secret recesses of the collective unconscious. The shadowy presences beyond the campfire, that are surprisingly universal despite a distinct lack of physical evidence. In acknowledgement of St Patty's Day (20 October), a fair amount of posts and discussion alluded to the now famous Patterson-Gimlin film clip, an enigmatic piece of footage filmed in Bluff Creek, California documenting one of the most famous Bigfoot sightings in 1967, with links to several video essays on YouTube, as well as some memes. But there are also posts about the Loch Ness monster, an artist's impression of the Japanese kappa monster and some debate about the true nature of the Borneo crocodile. There are concept drawings from a Bestiary of an abandoned Disney series. One poster features the fearsome African cryptid, Mokele-Mbembe, known to haunt the rain forests of the Congo. One infographic details the differences between cryptozoology and paracryptozoology, while another post discussed the Double Bottom Effect as a possible theory to explain certain sightings, especially in bodies of water.
