Have you heard about the Cryptids of Wisconsin and the Southwest U.S? If not, you're in for a treat! I recently came across a fascinating video from the YouTube channel Digital Voices with Beau Tiffany, where they explore deep stories behind every guest, and this time, they invited Connor Quinn to share his knowledge about the mystical beasts that inhabit the Midwest and the Southwest.
The video starts with Beau introducing us to the picturesque landscape of Wisconsin, a state known for its dairy farms, spring forests, and warm Midwestern hospitality. However, beneath the tranquil surface of this picturesque landscape, Wisconsin conceals a rich tapestry of captivating tales and mysterious creatures, each woven into the cultural fabric of the state over the centuries.
One of the fascinating creatures that Connor talks about is the Chupacabra, a creature that is said to inhabit the Four Corners area of Utah, Arizona, New Mexico, and Colorado. The Chupacabra is described as a creature that is about the size of a coyote or a large dog, with reptilian or alien-like features, glowing red eyes, and extremely fast. The word Chupacabra is Spanish for "goat-sucker" because what these things do is they come across animals like chickens, cows, and goats, and they get a hold of the animal on the neck like a vampire and drain it of all its blood.
Connor also shares stories about the cattle mutilations and the precise cuts that they find on the cattle, which seems to be like some kind of surgical scalpel or something even more precise. It also cauterizes at the same time as it cuts, which is definitely not a Chupacabra kind of thing.
Another fascinating creature that Connor talks about is the Wisconsin Werewolf. In 1936, a man named Mark Shackman, who was accustomed to the quiet solitude of the lands of Wisconsin, was walking alongside a secluded path when he saw an imposing figure that bore the characteristics of a man yet the ragged fur, the piercing loping eyes, and the snarling fangs were eerily reminiscent of a wolf. The creature was standing tall on its hind legs, fumbling with a current wooden tool as if trying to kindle a fire. Shackman watched in stunned silence as the beast raised its head and let out a series of guttural sounds, primitive forms of communication that sent chills down his spine.
Overall, the video is a fascinating exploration of the mystical beasts that inhabit the Midwest and the Southwest, and I highly recommend checking it out. Who knows, it might inspire you to go out and explore the great outdoors and see if you can spot any of these fascinating creatures for yourself!
