These Are Some of the Scariest Cryptids I've Ever Seen!
When it comes to cryptids, most of us think about bigfoot, the Loch Ness Monster, and El Chupacabra, but there are plenty of other cryptids out there around the world, and these have to be some of the scariest I've seen.
The J’ba FoFi, also known as the Congolese Giant Spider is a cryptid said to exist in the Congo. The eggs are a pale yellow-white and shaped like peanuts. Native claim the hatchlings are bright yellow with a purple abdomen. Their coloration becomes darker and brown as they mature. Some of the natives indigenous to the regions in the Congo where the J’ba FoFi has been seen assert that the spider was once quite common, but has become very rare. Famous naturalist and cryptozoologist, William J. Gibbons, his shared his experience with the J’ba FoFi:
“On this third expedition to Equatorial Africa, I took the opportunity to inquire if the pygmies knew of such a giant spider, and indeed they did! They speak of the Jba Fofi, which is a “giant” or “great spider.” They described a spider that is generally brown in color with a purple abdomen. They grow to quite an enormous size with a leg span of at least five feet. The giant arachnids weave together a lair made of leaves similar in shape to a traditional pygmy hut, and spin a circular web (said to be very strong) between two trees with a strand stretched across a game trail.”
“These giant ground-dwelling spiders prey on the diminutive forest antelope, birds, and other small game, and are said to be extremely dangerous, not to mention highly venomous,” Gibbons states. “The spiders are said to lay white, peanut-sized eggs in a cluster, and the pygmies give them a wide birth when encountered, but have killed them in the past. The giant spiders were once very common but are now a rare sight.”

ReplyDeleteans WILD BILL gots that thar BIG KNIFE : )
DeleteI've found the most productive way to address this topic to be avoiding the circus and focusing on the evidence. As with all scientific topics, the wheat and chaff separate rather cleanly when one does that.
ReplyDeleteBut thats boring!!!!!!!
DeleteSi mucho Cryptids en mexico
DeleteI think I know what most folks' problem is. It is inability to discern patterns in the overall evidence, which stems mainly from not being acquainted with enough of it. People tend to look at the evidence piece by piece - is this one fake? Since this is impossible, what cracks can I discern in this story? - and wind up groping to find cracks in stories, which they never really do, instead of stepping back, and asking themselves: what is the likelihood of random wildcat hallucinations hoaxes lies misidentified bears etc. adding up to a biologically-correct-to-a-T picture of a large temperate-zone omnivore? With behavioral and physical characteristics squaring firmly with a hominoid primate, most of which are known only to primatologists? Which the evidence says is happening.
Deletethat jist bumfumbles ME

ReplyDeleteHello All,
ReplyDeleteI've posted little in the last month and a half or so but still read reports and watch the latest vids and read the threads here. In my humblest of opinions I have observed something that has become a trend of sorts for what maybe the last five years or so anyway. It seems like the "carrot" has gotten bigger but it is farther away than it ever was..
So true especially if your analogy has that carrot on a string tied to a stick it seems like it's just everywhere yet so unattainable
DeleteAs I read your comment, the carrot in my pants got bigger.
DeleteI'm talkin dangling donkey carrot. Pun intended but keep it in your pants butt bandit
DeleteDid anyone here and watch the two hour special of mountain monsters today?? They just showed some of the best footage of Sasquatch I've ever seen
ReplyDeleteMaybe it's just that the hype is so much greater than the recent evidence. Maybe it's because internet and TV has become so saturated with either watered down, or no examples of the Creature. Maybe it's the money one can make off of the peripheral enterprises that are offered by way of vendors and new authors that to me don't seem interested in much more than selling empty product. Or walking away from a conference with no real new knowledge for the experienced Bigfooter even though I gather they are socially fun to attend.
DeleteI am watching the show Mel monsters right now and they got Sasquatch completely trapped under a barn and this thing is over 9 feet tall is anyone watching this
DeleteBut if there's a team of guys that could screw this up it's these guys
DeleteSurely you tease!!
Deletewatch out for those danglers folks
ReplyDeleteYeah you damn hanger rangers
DeleteIs this the new Patty footage these guys these bumbling guys just got the best footage of a monster I've ever seen, how come this blog Site or Bigfoot site is not all over this show???
ReplyDeleteIn the "olden days" of the 50's and 60's it just seemed like there was more solid trails to follow and books that were rich in content. That could be because the subject was just entering a public domain that was mostly unaware of the phenomenon of a Sasquatch. Maybe because there weren't that many folks involved in the early years except for a choice few like Titmus, Bindernagle, Green, and the rest.
Deletebindernagle has been doing this since the 60s and has nothing to show for it?
Deletesums it up.
bigfoot don't exist apart from in morons brains
It is worth pointing out that your summation is only of the enthusiast position. For some of us there is no question unanswered and no new scientific discovery ( i.e. a sasquatch) to be awaited upon. The question has been answered ( bigfoot is a myth fueled mostly by fabrications), and the only possible scientific discoveries would most likely be in psychology if anything.
DeleteI'm not trying to start a debate on existence, I'm just clarifying a point.
do you have anything,anything,new to add ?
DeleteOne could add:
DeleteScientific Discoveries: get made only after scientists begin to pay sufficient attention
dwa^
DeleteMany important discoveries are made by amateurs and enthusiasts that do things in different ways...scientists are tied to old and safe methods and rarely are the first to venture into new fields of research.
DeleteDWA is a moron
ReplyDeleteOne could argue, here in this thread specifically, that the reason nothing has been found despite all the cameras and people in the woods after all this time is because there is nothing to find. Hence why the public does not care. The general public realized a long time ago that there is no such thing as a bigfoot. It is completely a folkloric curiosity and, as such, will not generate a huge amount of steady interest.
DeleteOthers will say, of course, that the beast is just super elusive. One thing that is certain: there is no end in sight.
we know that bigfoot don't exist, that is a given
Deleteone question remains however....
who is the biggest moron in bigfootery?
Confirmation will only come with evidence that is amenable to scientific testing and verification, i.e. biological samples. To date, most recently with Sykes et al, this has been a spectacularly miserable area of results for alleged bigfoot evidence. Every single time this type of evidence has been tested it, it has failed to support the bigfoot claim in any way. How is this closer to confirmation? There is no magic number of anecdotes that are going to suddenly tip the scales in favor of confirmation. If anything, I would say confirmation looks further away than it ever has. You have fully qualified and credentialed scientists looking at alleged bigfoot evidence and coming up empty for unknown primates. I fail to see how that is encouraging.
DeleteIt does not matter what is written on the subject. What matters is confirming the species. That can only be done with biological evidence. Bigfoot is not going to be confirmed on tracks and anecdotes alone.
don't let DWA read that^ he will flip
Delete1:04 - probably you seeing as you don`t bleeve yet frequent bigfoot blogs.
Delete^ And you know that there are scientists who utterly deny that the pressure on that Ph.D exists, at all.
DeleteOh-kay there. Oh it doesn't, does it.
nice try DWA
DeleteTo tell myself I didn't see something and un-see it, just because no one's looking and no scientist pronouncing negatively on the matter has said a thing about it that makes sense, well, I just like to believe I'd think more of myself than that.
DeleteLOL DWA^ BUSTED
DeleteYa, right. If scientists thought along the lines that antfoot's proposing, nothing would get discovered. Science wouldn't advance.
DeleteAnd isn't that relevant in a certain field.
hahahahaha what a bell end!!!!!!!
DeleteDMaker suxs
DeleteDWA is back!
DWA thinks scientists are wasting their time if they aint looking for a monkey.
DeleteCure for cancer? Waste of time.
Future energy technologies? Waste of time.
GM crops for solving famine? Waste of time.
Next generation of anti biotics? Waste of time.
Meldrum appearing at bigfoot conferences promoting hoaxed tracks of a mythical creature? Time well spent.
The guy is a bell end.
That's not what I said. Scientists that study primates and/or hominids would be greatly served if they focused on the great bipedal ape we have here in our own Pacific Northwest. Get your facts straight.
DeleteIf science would just do its job and support my insanity....
Deleteits not respectful to call old man a liar
ReplyDeletethe facts are he is though and is still trying to make money of the back of this hoax decades later
some farmer/cowboy and his dead beat friend decide to hoax a film
a decent hoax but its clearly a man in a suit.
where is the other p/g type films. all we have is hoaxes
there is no evidence
this is a story ! the onus is on bleevers to show the evidence
Eye witness testimony/footprints and ridicules photos isn't evidence
even bleevers must admit its bizarre there isn't any decent film/pics or dna of the existence of this creature 40odd years later
its the luckiest ,mo9st intelligent creature ever.it knows about cameras,flir,sattelite etc... It knows when a person has a camera or not or whether they wil use it
I listem to Dr Johnson[been sacked now for being a nut] saying hes got an "habituation site" where he is 10 ft next o them..hasn't got any pics/film as none does
all the stars of footery ,the in crowd of smeja , cutino, sahebi,onesilot barrackman and this deviant here etc...have zero evidence
wed love to bleev there are such creatures. as we would in loch ness etc... the truth is this is child like wishful thinking
there is a chance there is some undiscovered creatures in the world. 9/120ft 800pd ape people families in North America is crazy
of course theynow say there is no evidence as they know about cameras, who has one, whose going to use one, satellites, flir,trail cam, burying their dead. they are very good at making sure they never make a mistake[trhe p/g was one though according to them]
surely the bleevers must think "its odd there is no pics/films we can look at". shit Smeja claims to have held one in his hands but panicked
he couldn't take a toe/a foot/ finger or even a couple of cell pics. yet says he spent days trying to get back up. just lop its head off or take a film and wed bleev. you never so its a story from another attention seeker thinking there is money to be made
only to realise there isn't!
this is dumb. you aren't harming anyone so knock yourself out
ive been camoing in Washingtin a few times and actively looked for something as my cousins are curious too! surfice to say we found nothing and the local rangers etc..have never found anything
obviously youll say he a Government shill and is lying.
pointless
liar
DeleteOr is this the first time this episode ever on TV, they just have this thing trapped in a trailer they made into a trap and I blasted through the side of it so if this show is legit it has just blew away everything and anything that's ever been on the Internet
ReplyDeletewat
DeleteAnd point taken. You're correct in saying the OP and therefore the thred is INDEED geared to the enthusiast. It's a Bigfoot Forum after all LOL. This of course could very easily set the stage for a debate for or against existence which I hope won't be the case. In looking over the larger picture though I see little in the way of trusted evidence for a proponent to hang their hat on and I thought a little more vigorous feedback from those in the field would help breathe new life into the usually mundane circle experienced by said enthusiasts.
DeleteNothing new really, just my usual MO of BF motivational therapy and people in the field seems like a good thing to tap into if they are willing to actively share.
wat
Delete1:10 ,,, I hope and pray you do Not live in Texas!
DeleteAs that would shurly compromise your veracity,legitimacy,ect..
surely after randles has looked through say 50 trail camera memory cards there has got to be a point where he thinks damn theres no monkey out there what was I thinking
ReplyDeleteCALLING OUT DWA
ReplyDeleteWHERE YOU AT FOOL?
^ Look you. this is the essential thing that gets forgotten - if it's thought about at all - by all those who hold up science as some sort of Mystical Authority, and forget that it's a business composed of people making and spending money. A long string of way-out chances - supported mainly by the reputation of the people taking them - got grubstakes in the paleoanthropology game to get it where it is now. This is how we found out that, rather than moving from quadruped to business suit in a single straight line, numerous species of cavemen were making out, and I don't just mean getting by, together.
Deleteoh BOY^
DeleteIf you expect to find something and follow the evidence that got you to that point, you will find it.
DeleteThere, fixed.
fool or the fool that follows the FOOL
Deletethe gist of this thread isn't about existence although some apparently want the debate to spill into here of all places just like everywhere else. I don't need the debate, and I don't want the debate.
Delete1:17 I agree with you only to the extent that they must maintain a united front. Especially on their educated guesses so that they can pawn it off as fact. Which it isn't and dessention in the ranks isn't tolerated because it spoils the illusion of it being truth. So if you are the misfit guaranteed you'll get stripped of any and all funding. Be it government or university funding. But not because it's a big cover up or anything. Simply because you can't sell an education of misguided guesses. You have to say your education will teach you fact. Otherwise why would anyone spend all that money on it. Would you pay 40,000 a year if they said we can teach you educated guessing. Shit no you wouldn't but we do because they say we will teach you facts and truths. So in a way it's a conspiracy but not one of hiding facts. It's one of hiding that they don't know all the facts.
Deleteharry bandini, bigfoot don't exist by the way
DeleteWTF my comment wasn't specific to Bigfoot or any other field. Just a generalization of a whole. Notice I said only some things are educated guesses there are far more facts more than 10:1. But that still doesn't alleviate that there is guess work.
DeleteHarry bandini @ 1:50 , very impressive, lucid and thought
DeleteProvoking, big doris,
Ok tell me I'm wrong in thinking you're insulting me with lucid
DeleteCause you're always cool to me. Then suddenly you take shots at me
DeleteHarry i dont Ever take shots at you never! I hate to say my name, because the next thing
DeleteYou know someones talking
About dildos an sh*t?? Bd
And aint me
DeleteBD!
Lucid mean s. A smooth flow of thought, its a good thing
DeleteBig doris,
Lol that's like my wife called me egocentric the other day I was like WTF I assumed it was bad because of the ego prefix but once I read the definition meaning an inwardly thinking person it was right on cause I worry about everything and mull it over
DeleteIt's cool I appreciate it you don't need to worry about that I don't let it get to me I'd never break bread with any of them I couldn't possibly care any less I know what I do and don't have in life so I'm content
Delete3:01.........hiya there BOBO.
Delete"science" you keep using that word, I don't think it means what you think it means. your lack of understanding of the scientific method and the world of academia is breathtakingly awful, amusing! but awful. is there some mediocre science done? yes, mostly by pseudo-scientists and crackpots, but we are all human and people make mistakes. which is why we have peer review and journals. so mistakes can be vetted out over time and work can be improved upon. but, the #1 criteria in science, is falsifiable, repeatable evidence.
Deletechoosing a female user name with some stupid picture of a cat or some sh*t and then talking like an effeminate retard don't eliminate the fact you were born with a big ole dangler
ReplyDeleteevidence?
DeleteMonsters and Mysteries in America cool show
ReplyDeleteYou are connected with the show and are a paid schill. Will never watch.
Deleteme be both : ) and its a cool show U missing OUT : (
DeleteAlright, I'll watch then.
