As an introvert myself I feel like I would still prefer to see a cryptid show up in my backyard rather than an unannounced guest.

Great job! I loved the video, it was so relaxing watching you draw. Also in the midst of people sending group chat “happy valentines” texts (I’m single) it was fun to respond with the links to these videos of night crawler footage (no context) 😄. I took a couple cryptid classes a few years ago and hadn’t seen that footage so thank you for that! It’s so good! I especially love the little baby nightcrawler walking in the woods! 😍

I haven’t been on the cryptid Reddit threads in awhile. Are they proposing that they are a result from thought forms / egregores? That is an interesting thought. They seem so chill, I feel like it could be worse (like slenderman).

Thanks so much, Lyns! I've been married for almost 20 years and we both forgot that it was Valentine's Day. LOL. And that's more my theory these days rather than a more universal conclusion. Though there are a few other folks in the space that feel similarly (Greg and Dana Newkirk, for example).

Then it must be so. The last few days my plan for this weekend has been a hellier rewatch (cue the synchronicities - looks like they’re already starting 😍). I love the idea of them being egregores. I also like the theory that cryptids are other dimensional beings who pop over from time to time. Anyway, this was awesome.

Holy shit, dude. Love that stuff so dang much. I really do think it is a collective ritual of some kind.

Last year I had a list of 50 synchronicities the day leading up to my first watch. I had no idea what it was about, other than I had watched the unbinding and loved it. It opens with Dana explaining synchronicity storms and I lost my shit. I thought I was dying. I guess high strangeness like that happens all the time with the audience of hellier. I really need to write about it 😄
