Wondrous Wraith of Willow Creek

Image
  The wondrous wraith of Willow Creek was a cryptid spotted in Kentucky in 1868. The outlandish name was given to it by the newspapers reporting on the incident at the time. This monster was a fiery centaur. It had pale, corpse-colored skin all over its body. The mane and tail were made of fire covering its body. Its eyes burned with a sulfur blue. The monster stood six feet tall at the top of its head. The centaur carried a sword in one hand and a torch in the other.   The fiery beast was seen by a prominent tobacco merchant, who wished to stay anonymous after his sighting. The incident happened on October 10th, 1868. The tobacco merchant was traveling through Bracken County on his way home to Brooksville. He was running late and ended up riding on dark country roads after nightfall.  The monster was first spotted in the middle of the road, blocking the way forward. It breathed out a cone of flame every time it exhaled. The tobacco merchant stayed motionless on hors...

Zburator

  The zburator is a type of demon from Romanian mythology. The name means flyer. The zburator's true form is that of a wolf with draconic features and bat like wings. It's often depicted with fire as well, either being surrounded by flames, or having a mane or tail of flame. This is especially prevalent when the zburator flies across the sky at night in the form of a shooting star. The zburator is capable of shape shifting. Most often it takes on the form of a handsome young man. It uses this capability to visit women at night and temp them into sleeping with it. The zburator most favours women who are engaged, or otherwise in a relationship but not married yet, and takes great delight in convincing these women to cheat on their partners. Zburators are often invisible to all except the women they pursue. Zburators drain their victim's life force through sex, much like an incubus. This leaves their victims tired, pale and anemic. Zburators are often compared to vampires, e...

Kamaitachi

  Kamaitachi are invisible spirit weasels that ride whirlwinds and cut up victims in their path. It's debated whether the kamaitachi are invisible because they exist in the spirit world invisible to the human eye, or if they move so quickly they can't be perceived. Kamaitachi look like Japanese weasels but with sickle limbs and hedgehog like spikes on their back. Kamaitachi attack in threes. The first one slices the victim's legs and knocks them to the ground. The other slices up the victim, giving them thousands of cuts in a single second. The third applies a salve that heals the victim, ensuring none of the wounds are fatal. This leaves the victim knocked to the ground with scrapes and scratches but no serious injuries. It's said the kamaitachi do this to collect human blood, either to drink it or use it for magic. There are many region beliefs about the kamaitachi. In the Shin'etsu and Tohoku regions the kamaitachi take offence to people desecrating calendars. ...
