Let's also remember poor, uncorrected, eyesight.

Nobody has to make up sea monsters, just because they have “scientific classifications” and “actual names” doesn’t mean they aren’t absolutely horrendous monsters

[gdove]

Black mold AND carbon monoxide! The hallucination 2 for 1!

[WallebyDamned]

The crossover of what we would now categorize as neurodivergence or disorders and psychics/witches/possessions is also notable

[JackSpadeXI]

Did you know that the majority of supernatural folklore was created before the widespread availability of corrective lenses?

[Wantedbythegrammarpolice]

Honestly what’s scarier than all of that is probably what happened to the Radium Girls lol

[Blandco]

I am so happy that the fungal rye got mentioned! Nobody used to know about these things 10 years ago.

A recently popular "cryptid" is not-deer, which is most likely just deer with either rabies or chronic wasting disease. both affect an animals neural functioning and motor controls.
As for classic monsters, zombies as we know them came from Haitian stories about slave keepers.

Don't forget the large amount of antisemitism, racism, and misogyny that made the foundation of much of folklore!

I would absolutely LOVE if you made a whole short about mold and the different colors that come from mold!

[chrismarcum]

You are hands down my favorite content creator for spooky season

[shaneosullivan]

Nearly time to carve the turnips for All Hallows Eve/Samhain.

Sorry the faces you made when mentioning the warewolf had me dieing

[OtakuLoki]

Aquatic molluscs are wild!

You've got the various large squids! All of whom are suspected of being cannibalistic.

Of course just because your aquatic mollusc is pretty, and tiny doesn't mean it's not deadly - the Blue Ringed Octopus is a beautiful animal - but also has one of the most deadly venoms around!

[deemushroomguy]

There were way, way more substances than ergot infected rye that produced hallucinations throughout history- Sometimes these substances produced "visions" or "a premonition".

[LauranceDonMac]

The supernatural concept for both Werewolves and vampires came from Romanian, Greek, and even Norse Mythology.

[weom]

I'd like to believe they're real, thank you

[coyoteartist]

Love the kitty sweater, the clown one can go to a place where the sun don't shine and it's very full of the floor is lava and what did the oarfish do to you?

[theotter]

Enlightened as well. She just gets cooler by the minute.
