The 12 Days of Cryptids

Happy Holidays!

Join me in a special blog event to explore a cryptid theme every day for 12 days. Follow along at Modern Cryptozoology or Substack as I present info from my notes, files, and opinions that perhaps you haven’t heard before. Please subscribe to one of these sources so you get the links or content straight to your email inbox.

The traditional twelve days of Christmas begins on December 25 and ends on January 5. That’s quite a marathon to produce a cryptid-themed post every day. It’s possible that life will get in the way, and I’ll not meet the schedule, but I’ll complete the series for sure.

Each day will be a surprise theme that I will gather in the list below as they are published. Sharing the post to your own favorite social media site or reblogging is much appreciated.

Cryptid are more popular than ever before thanks to the Internet web pages, groups, forums, email groups, and social media platforms. Cryptid lore can tell us about our relationship with nature, our fears, and our cultural influences. Modern cryptid interest is still zoological for some, but for most, it is cultural – we hear the stories, see the depictions, and find value in ideas about mysterious creatures. I think you will see in my examples exactly what I mean by Pop Cryptids. For more on cryptids in popular culture, check out Pop Goes the Cryptid.

Here’s to a new year of contemporary legends and mystery animals!
