'nuff said.
Never any video proof of any of this shit. ever.
As I often say, if there was clear footage, this wiki page wouldn’t exist because it would very clearly be an owl on a branch.
Strange that stuff like this never happens now that everyone has a camera.
I keep thinking of Majora’s Mask farm aliens

Disclaimer: idk anything about his qualifications but as someone in a tangentially related field to anthropology/history he seems to know what he’s talking about
Mothman energy.
Fallout 76, which is based in Virginia, has a lot of Cryptozoology
