My GF & I call them "no torso, only pants" 😂 I love cryptids & hope more obscure ones like the Hodag or Ozark Howler (my dad insists he saw that one; "it wasn't a bear!") get more love. Nessie, however, is always my GOAT

My family is from the Philippines. They always told me things about the "dwende, tikbalang, and the aswang(like a ghoul)." When my dad was a kid, he kept insisting that an aswang followed him late at night cause the winds were still and the trees swayed opposite from his direction and he ran lol

My father was a grown man when he saw the "Howler" by the side of the road in MO, eating roadkill. He swears it was huge & black & wolflike; held the food in both "hands". And NOT a bear 😂 My mom was with him & cannot collaborate his story bc she said it was too dark.
