https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penanggalan
According to the folklore of that region, the Penanggalan is a detached female head capable of flying about on its own. As it flies, the stomach and entrails dangle below it, and these organs twinkle like fireflies as the Penanggalan moves through the night.
The Penanggalan is usually a female midwife who has made a pact with the devil to gain supernatural powers. It is said that the midwife has broken a stipulation in the pact not to eat meat for 40 days; having broken the pact she has been forever cursed to become a bloodsucking vampire/demon. The midwife keeps a vat of vinegar in her house. After detaching her head and flying around in the night looking for blood the Penanggalan will come home and immerse her entrails in the vat of vinegar in order to shrink them for easy entry back into her body.
Like a banshee who appears at a birth rather than a death, the Penanggalan perches on the roofs of houses where women are in labour, screeching when the child is born. The Penanggalan will insert a long invisible tongue into the house to lap up the blood of the new mother.

Newfag is better than tripfag. I always feel horrible because I know nobody ITC would want me there. I kind of want to join, but the idea always gives me so much anxiety I just can't.

In my country we have the Curupira. A legend of a red haired man with feets turned backward to confuse hunters. He also create sounds that can lead someone to madness.
He's supposed to protect the animals in the woods from hunters that prey more than they need.
A legend from natives.

I know some IRCs are like that
>>17062612
not on rizon
>>17062429
If you had to resort to cannibalism in harsh winters you could always say that you were "touched by the wendigo", thereby taking away the shame/stigma of having had to go all Donner party on your friends and family.
>>17054563
What country?
>>17062429
The Wendigo was a spirit in native american mythology which was said, variably, to eat people, cause people to eat other people, or both. In some legends it's described as man-sized or slightly larger, sometimes it's massive because every time it eats something, it grows, therefore remaining starving despite constantly eating.
The legend claims that those who resort to cannibalism in times of famine (most often the depths of winter, as the belief comes from northern tribes) had been corrupted by the wendigo's touch. Sometimes, these people were believed to transform into wendigos themselves.
This legend (probably) arose in order to discourage cannibalism as a means to survive harsh times. After all, you don't want to turn into an emaciated, eternally starving demon. Some tribes used to hold ceremonies at the beginning of winter to ward wendigos away from their lands and avoid famine.

thanks for info will look up more info about them
Okay I was directed here from a thread I made. Copying post
Question regarding this pasta
http://creepypasta.wikia.com/wiki/Need_Answers;_Please_Help
okay so this is obviously a cryptid story and the creature is of the water horse subtype.
Which specific cryptid do y'all think the creature in this story most resembles?
the youtube vid of someone reading it is fillled with bickering about it and I was wondering if you guys had any ideas. Most say kelpie others saying brook horse some saying something called a nock or something.
>>17042348
>mother man
>>17063897
sometimes i type without checking what i typed
>>17063960
not spooky at all m8
>>17063670
absolutely a kelpie
>>17065314
Tell us more!
>>17062660
>FUN FACT: A human can eat all but another humans brain without getting sick
It probably stems from the fact that eating human brains causes neurosis.
>>17066521
There's a great comic for it that's been around for awhile, google kelpie comic. It explains basically the whole lore without a single word, just images.
>>17067368
i think tribes in africa did this for centuries
never heard of this cryptid
>>17067368
>eating human brains causes neurosis.
That's like saying if you eat their hearts you fall in love.

Like the first 2 google results. It's not GUARANTEED that you will contract a disease, but I would reckon that it's enough of a chance to be able to that it would be a contributor to lore like the Wendigo in earlier times.
>guy eats other guy
>goes crazy
>ohfuckevilspirits.nofiletype
>>17069000
lol
honestly nothing good comes from eating people
>>17069000
You don't seem to know what "neurosis" means.
HINT: NOT a disease caused by eating brains.
Come have fun with us.
>>17069881
Neurosis is a band from oakland cali. Its not an illness but a blanket term for any fucked thing in your brain like ocd and ptsd. You dont know what it is.
>>17070254
neu·ro·sis/n(y)o͝oˈrōsəs/
a relatively mild mental illness that is not caused by organic disease
=========
NOT caused by a disease. Eating brains does NOT cause neurosis. Why you're fixated on ascribing one mental aliment not caused by eating brains to eating brains is weird. Troll or stupid, hard to tell.
>>17070272
it says organic. prions are known to have a higher chance to be in the brain than anything else. it's why the western world doesn't use it, even in mystery-meat. they do cause neurosis, and considered a disease, although not a disease per se.
>>17070292
MUST defend misuse of word "neurosis" -- can not give in, honor at stake!
Loveland Frog
>>17070354
he looks cute and not spooky
>>17070315
In his defense, the post you were bashing was me and not him. I just used it as a blanket term, which clearly rustled yer jimmies so I am truly sorry, anon.... for all my jimmy rustling.
I certainly had no reason to post ITT about all my stupid totally unrelated bullshit. I'm glad you came here to contribute. They will remember your contributions for eons.
>>17069881
>anon gives clearly explained reasoning behind possible wendigo origins
>buttfrustrated femnon on their period comes in and shits all over for no clear reason
>>17070354
>>17072666
They look like Might and Magic (MM6~~8, HoMM3-4) Troglodytes.
I don't even remember how D&D Troglodytes looked like, but it might be inspiration lol.
lets not fight and just keep this spooky and interesting

>>17044159
a cryptid you bumpersticker!
>tfw you can't study cryptoshit
Would be so easy, cause i already know a lot of monster stuff
Potentionally a cryptid.
Any /x/phile here that knows anything about this?
Did some google searches with little luck.
Is there an actual story behind this or is this some kind of one-off thing someone just wrote up quickly?
>>17081640
if only life was so easy
>tfw no florida skunk ape
>>17085462

Nightcrawler. In an ultmate showdown of all cryptids they would dominate the battlefield.
I was digging up on old creepypasta posted on /x/ and came across this dude from Cz Republic. Said something about a forest. Looked around the place on google maps - scanned the area a bit and found this.
Shadows fall to the North West. Anyone know what the fuck these stumps or whatever are ?
>>17086704
It was a skinwalker story
>>17086704
tell us more
>>17087834
Thread I refer to :
http://archive.4plebs.org/x/thread/12798229/
You can read the story. Basically Anon and 3 dudes go into woods, then one of them comes back strange, eventually all 3 of them become strange.
The forested region is already 2spoopy according to local folklore.
>>17088375
I will def read this
Bump for later research
I guess there is a crypytid called trunko
looks weird
>>17073982
>I just used it as a blanket term
not that anon but no, you clearly don't know what it means and used it incorrectly.
>>17070292
You don't have the best reading comprehension skills do you?
>>17054434
flatwoods monster fucking terrifies me
>>17054434
