As you sit curled on your sofa, blanket over your lap and a good book in hand, a chill curls down your spine. It's late at night. Most of the lights on your street are out. Funny, you could have sworn that those streetlights were on a couple of minutes ago. You shake your head, dispelling all negative thoughts, and return your attention to your book. The clock's ticking starts to hammer itself into your inexplicably racing heartbeat. The chill curls down your back again, this time stronger. And... was that a knock at your front door? Ever so soft, but unmistakably a knock. More nervous now, you slowly put the book down on the coffee table in front of you, forgetting to place the bookmark in its abandoned pages. The blanket slides off you as slowly stand, and pad silently to the door. You take a deep breath, and decide to go for it. Anything could be out there. You open the door. No-one is there. You look all around, but no sign of life stirs anywhere. A chill floats down your arms, and you hug them to your sides. But... wait... what's that on the floor there? You bend down curiously, still keeping your eyes trained on the dark, lifeless street. It's a box of chocolates, and - a bunch of roses? As you look closer, you see that the words 'Happy Birthday' are engraved into the chocolate box lid with... what appears to be a sharp, sharp knife. The edges of each letter are suspiciously red, but the chocolates look delicious. You then inspect the red roses, or, now that you see them closer, the white roses painted red. They smell metallic and cloying, with only an underscent of natural rose. Nevertheless, they are beautiful. As you turn your back on the unlit street, you feel... something... watching you and whip your head around. Of course, nothing is there. You let out a deep, shaky breath and step inside, gifts in hand. You lock the door behind you, just to be safe. And on your coffee table, next to your half-drunk cold coffee and your discarded book, is a beautifully penned note that reads, 'Congratulations on 10k! Love from your friendly neighbourhood cryptid <3'

Hello hello I'm your friendly neighbourhood ghost and I am a collector of weird experiences, spooky tales, folklore, Urban legends and cryptids and I was wondering if you would like to share one with me.
I hope you are having a great day
when i was a little kid we briefly lived in a house that everyone in my family swears is haunted (my aunt+uncle and cousins lived in it after us and now one of the cousins lives there with his family)
- one of my sisters sleepwalked there (with my mom witnessing this), which she hadnt ever done before or since, and once woke up tangled in her blankets and feeling like she was being choked
- my other sister had a “friend” who was this tall black guy in a white suit and matching white top hat. he obviously didnt exist and no one else could see him
- our dog had a problem with running out the door, a problem (like my sister’s sleepwalking) which only occured at that house
- my uncle woke up and fully saw a ghost standing over him once. i know that there are more details to this story but i cant remember them rn
- my cousin who now lives there used to have a pet turkey. one day it was decapitated. the culprit (and the head) were never found
However, to play party pooper im going to offer some explanations for all of these events: my sister’s sleep walking happened only once and was probably just a freak event, she also moves around in her sleep and only attributed the blanket tangling to the supernatural because by then the house had been established as “haunted”. my other sister’s weird imaginary friend is def the strangest thing but she was always a weird kid and it was probably a standard imaginary friend. as for the dog, that was the only house we lived on that was on a pretty busy road. our dog hates cars and chases and barks at them all of the time, thats why he kept running out. my uncle is straight up cuckoo. my cousin’s turkey was giant and terrorized the neighbors, it was 100% one of then who cut its head off, still scary tho that they kept the head. hopefully not a serial killer in the making

Hi, my name is Mar, aka moog aka megomobile, and I am your friendly neighbourhood transgender art cryptid!  Stuff sucks so I’m open for commissions. I’m not asking for hand outs, I wanna do some work for you instead!
This time I am taking commissions for pfps, chibis, half bodies, full bodies, plus character reference sheets and coloured sketches. Lots of fun stuff! My turnaround is fairly quick, and the colours are bright and juicy. 
Go to the commission page on my website for more info!
If that’s not your speed, you can also check out my Etsy, where I sell a bunch of really dumb merch (a lot of which pertains to mothman, memes, or niche stuff no one but me is interested in probably).
Reblogs greatly appreciated. <3 Thank you for having a look!!!

Hello hello I'm your friendly neighbourhood ghost and I am a collector of spooky tales, folklore, Urban legends, cryptids and spooky experiences and I was wondering if you want to share your favourite one with me, and I hope you are having a wonderful day and hi 😳
hello!! it’s so nice to meet you @ghost-feratu 👻 i’m bug! ✨🦋 i will share with you the tale of a haunted motel that was once shared with me by some old man i nannied for in college…
he told me that while he was on vacation in dade city FL in the 60s/70s, he was driving down some freeway at night and needed a hotel to stop at. well he found this motel on the side of the road and he parked and left his two friends in the car, while he went up to the counter window thing.
he told me that this counter person was shrouded in the darkness and all you could see was their forearms/hands. he said that he asked to stay the night but before the person could answer if there were any rooms available, he had the feeling that he should turn around (like he was uneasy/felt unsafe)…
he made sure to clarify and tell me that there was no sound of shuffling feet or anyone approaching. but when he turned around there were 10 to 12 men coming up to him from out of nowhere, not saying anything. and there weren’t any other cars around.
well, this old man (probs not old at the time 😂😭) decided he valued his life and that he was gonna get the fuck outta there. so he swiftly returned to his car and told his friends they’d find a hotel further down the road.
so they drove into whatever town and stayed the night there… but! the next day when they went back down the road to find the motel in the daylight… it was totally run down and destroyed!
like the building was all rubble and stuff, like it had been torn down. but not recently.. there were vines and overgrowth and there’s no way they destroyed this motel in one night.
but this old man told me it was Definitely the same motel, in the same spot, across from the same liquor store.
….i never knew if he made the story up or not but i choose to believe him bc he looked So shook up when he was telling me, like actually scared. and this was a very cynical man who wasn’t phased by much 🤷🏼
i hope i aced the assignment 😂

Rob a big corporation of it's money, pirate as many books and movies as I can, uhhhhhh arson obviously, wear a cool mask maybe? (,sgndjyd no fr tho I'd sleep right through it)

Oooo that's hard. It used to be ripped black mom jeans, black turtleneck, leather jacket and sneakers (I have this really old pair of checkered vans), but rn it's my trusty plaid pants, a black top and some kind of cardigan

Hello hello I'm your friendly neighbourhood ghost and I'm a collector of spooky tales, folklore and urban legends and I was wondering if you want to share your favourite tale, cryptid, or experience.
I hope you are having a great day, and I love the vibes of your blog
Thank you! Starting off with the important questions i see, always love seeing it i definitely have to wander your blog more but I like what I've seen so far. My day is going decently, i hope yours is going well!
Favorite cryptid has to be either Mothman or Not-Deer
I may not be able to recall tales off the top of my head but i do have a rather unsettling experience that happened maybe 8 years ago now. I was in my room at night i forget what I was doing (probably watching anime tbh) and i heard a loud low rumbling outside and getting closer. When i looked out the window i saw a dark almost-triangular mass flying just below the extremely sparse clouds (i thought). It had three small lights at each corner and a larger dimmer one at the center (it was an elongated triangle but you get the idea)
It was big. If i didn't stick my face right to the window when I heard it i wouldn't have seen it entirely. I was able to hear it at a distance for some time at that too
Then when recalling it to my mom she brought up how the tops of the trees were a bit more broken than they were

My red flag is that I’ll respond to people texting me at 1-2am with just “why the fuck are you awake? Go to sleep”
I don’t field questions about why I am awake, I’m just your friendly neighbourhood cryptid

Okay but think of the mystery if you were just 'M' like...you could take to dressing in all dark colors and blacks and billowy, cape like coats and leather pants or something and being so tall you already have IntimidationTM on your side and when you walk past people will whisper "who is he??" and quietly, while carefully eyeing your back as you walk away, someone will say, "M. Just M." Like a myth, a legend, a god.
honestly Jess I’ve never read anything more beautiful in my life I’m laughing so hard I love this
