[Part 2] Monstrous entities were unleashed near deep oil drilling sites, according to episodes of South Park. But what if this were more of a prediction than fiction? Want to see the elusive, alien-like squid caught on a Shell camera? Why did a sample from a “creature of unknown origin or type” suddenly disappear after it was found in a manufacturing plant's toxic sludge pits? Up on land, cave creatures like the greedy Grootslang of South Africa also make their mark. Why do natives insist the enormous creature is real? And is there really a Mongolian death worm that can “swim” in the sand like in the movie Dune? Tune in for John Vivanco's remote viewing data on the worm, Rob Counts' investigative research into the history of mysterious disappearances and cryptid legends, discussions on “inner Earth beings,” and so much more. Join John and Rob for another Metaphysical show that's out of this world.
The epic story of Fatima, Dhat Al-Himma, the warrior woman, princess, mystic begins with the misadventures of her family line where they learn the perils of bad poetry, why you shouldn't marry genies, and it might be a bad thing to constantly rob your enemies when your bank account gets a little low. The creature is Grootslang, a snake with diamond eyes that maybe has an elephant best friend. --- Disclaimer: https://myths.link/333 --- Sponsor: AG1: the daily Foundational Nutrition supplement that supports whole-body health.

Criaturas fantásticas:A través de la historia se han descrito criaturas fantásticas en la mitología, literatura, folclor e inclusive, en la mismísima Biblia, siempre haciendo referencia a su existencia y a testimonios supuestamente verídicos, documentándolas o reforzando el mito. El nombre de “Creature Feature” o “Especial de Criaturas” fue un título utilizado en el género de horror, en particular para la TV estadounidense, entre los 60 y los 80.Estas películas hacían culto a los clásicos del horror, filmes de los años 30 a los 50 e, incluso, la mezcla entre ciencia ficción y horror de los 50 y 60.No podemos olvidar al icónico monstruo Godzilla, en Japón, y muchos otros más.Dentro de la categoría de creature feature entran todos los monstruos de Universal como: Drácula, Frankenstein, el monstruo de la laguna, etcétera. Sin embargo, esas apariciones todavía no forjaban a las criaturas fantásticas como una figura alejada del ser humano. Drácula es un vampiro, pero su apariencia y comportamiento son casi iguales a los de un humano. Frankenstein es humano, pero su origen no es natural. Hombre lobo, vemos una transformación, pero se origina de cosas naturales y conocidas. También tenemos a la RKO Films con películas como “King Kong” y sus secuelas. Hasta el año 1933 aparece King Kong siendo una figura natural, solo que gigante.En los 40 tenemos “I walked with a Zombie”, donde aparece Carrefour, sin embargo, se trataba de una mezcla entre alguien de otro mundo y un humano (era un dios o demonio).Muchas de las películas que abarcan los años 50 y 60 incluyen monstruos nucleares o aliens que vienen del espacio. Quizá no sea obvio para todos, pero la mayoría de estas películas eran de tipo B, con muy bajo presupuesto. The thing from another world, (1951): la película, “The Thing”, se basa en ella (también un creature feature). Un grupo de científicos en Alaska descubren algo extraterrestre. Invaders from Mars, (1953): Horror Sci-Fi, nos habla del miedo a que vengan extraterrestres a conquistarnos. Creature of the Black Lagoon, (1954): me recuerda “Shape of Water”. Invasion of the body snatchers, (1956): criaturas que se meten en el cuerpo de la gente y generan réplicas perfectas. No pueden copiar sus defectos. Conforme la tecnología fue avanzando y se empezaron a poner más ojos sobre el terror, hemos llegado a ver criaturas muy interesantes en la pantalla grande.Algunos ejemplosGárgolas:Es la parte sobresaliente de un caño que sirve para evacuar el agua de la lluvia de los tejados. Las gárgolas evitaban que el agua contactara con los muros de piedra y provocara deterioros en los mismos. En la arquitectura de la Edad Media, específicamente en el arte gótico, fueron usadas en iglesias y catedrales, suelen ser grotescas y representan hombres, animales, monstruos o demonios. Tenían la función simbólica de proteger el templo y asustar a los pecadores.Jotunn:Criaturas de la mitología nórdica, eran una raza de gigantes de hielo que vivían en la fortaleza llamada Utgard, separados de Midgard. En la película “The ritual”, la criatura que aparece es un Jotunn, pero su aspecto es muy diferente al de un gigante y es descendiente del dios Loki. Es una criatura de cuatro patas, con una cabeza humana y con cuernos tipo alce.Hadas:Según la tradición, son espíritus protectores de la naturaleza pertenecientes a la familia de los elfos, gnomos y duendes. Suelen ser representados con forma de mujer y alas brillantes. Tienen la habilidad de manipular la magia y permanecen invisibles u ocultos ante el ojo humano. Su origen se remonta a la mitología griega, pero no es hasta la Edad Media que logran tener protagonismo.La obra “Lancelot ou le Chevalier de la charrette” de Chretien de Troyes, describe a La dama del lago, un ser que, entre varias cosas, se ocupó de la educación del héroe Lancelot. A pesar de que muestra todas las características de un hada, nunca se menciona el término, de hecho, este se empleó a finales del siglo XIV, en la novela “Melusina” del autor francés Jean D'Arras. También hay sin fin de leyendas celtas donde se mencionan a las hadas: el hada de los dientes, la Banshee, las lamias o ninfas (hadas de la mitología griega).Duende:Criatura fantástica con forma humanoide, pero de tamaño pequeño, con orejas y nariz puntiagudas y piel verde. Está presente en el folclor de muchas culturas. Al igual que las hadas, se les denomina cuidadores de la naturaleza y son muy escurridizos, con personalidad bromista. Gnomos: son mineros y custodian tesoros o piedras preciosas, además, lo codician llegando a robarle a las personas. Leprechaun: tipo de duende del folclor irlandés, significa “el que hace un zapato”. También custodian grandes ollas de oro y disfrutan de hacer travesuras. Se dedican a fabricar o arreglar zapatos. Se dice que puede quedar inmóvil si alguien fija la mirada sobre él. Trolls:Son una terrible raza antropomorfa del folclore escandinavo. Pueden ser gigantes –similares a los ogros–, o parecidos al ser humano, pero salvajes. Viven debajo de la tierra, en las colinas. En algunos cuentos, los trolls se vuelven de piedra si les da la luz del sol, por ejemplo, “TLOTR”.Wendigo:Criatura mitológica que viene del folclor de las primeras naciones, en particular de la Costa Este y boscosa de Canadá. Según la leyenda, genera deseos de avaricia insaciable y un hambre terrible que, incluso, puede hacer que la gente canibalice. Se asocia con el frío y las heladas.En México Chaneque: vendría siendo el equivalente al duende. Provienen de los mexicas. Se describen como seres diminutos que hacen bromas y esconden cosas. Nahual: se representa como un brujo o ser sobrenatural que tiene la capacidad de transformarse mediante la práctica de la brujería. Las tradiciones cuentan que todos nacemos con un espíritu animal que nos protege y nos guía, por eso los nahuales buscan convertirse en ellos para mejorar sus capacidades. Dzulum: parecido al jaguar, pero más grande y brillante bajo la luna. En maya significa “ansias de morir”. Chupacabras. África: Grootslang: es una criatura en forma de serpiente, pero con cabeza de elefante. Vive en las profundidades de una cueva en Richtersveld. Una bestia primordial que guarda un tesoro enorme, más vieja que cualquier humano. Un dios partió a su raza en dos, elefantes y víboras, pues así eran menos terribles. Inkanyamba: una anguila enorme, con alas, de apetito voraz y, por lo general, se le asocia con las tormentas violentas. Ammit: mezcla de león, hipopótamo y cocodrilo. Se come los corazones de espíritus impuros, condenándolos a penar eternamente. Filipinas:Aswang, es un monstruo que cambia de forma y devora bebés no natos. Si quieres reconocer a una de estas criaturas, busca tu reflejo invertido en sus ojos. Algunos atributos conocidos son que tiene alas y parece un lobo o un cerdo... Además, durante el día es una mujer, pero en la noche la puedes ver caminando en cuatro patas, con sus piernas y brazos invertidos. Tiene una larga lengua con la que succiona a los bebés del vientre de las madres.Mongolia: Gusano de la muerte: parece un intestino rojo que avienta un ácido corrosivo y electrocuta, asesinando a su presa al instante. Ittan-momen: es un rollo de algodón, como una banda, que envuelve a su presa hasta que los sofoca. Trinidad y Tobago:Mama d'leau: protege los ríos, de la cintura para arriba es una mujer hermosa y de la cintura para abajo es una serpiente.Paraguay:Teju jagua: con cuerpo de lagarto y siete cabezas de perro, mora en un cerro y su misión es cuidar la naturaleza. Se supone que come frutas, aunque había niños que desaparecían por el encanto de esta criatura para luego ser devorados. Introducción al cine de horror: The Gollem, (1920). Gremlins, (1984).

Alena delves into the world of unknown cryptids that seems to be straight from the imagination. This solo episode focuses on the Dobhar-chú, Ireland's "immature Loch Ness", also known as the "hound of the deep" or King Otter. Its characteristics are fairly consistent with a half-dog/half-otter image and its aggressive nature can only be described as terrifying in local sightings. Tune in to learn how this carnivorous lake monster may have origins in the real world. To follow up, Alena goes into the legend of the Grootslang. If you haven't heard of it, no worries because she did not either. This legendary cave dweller has rarely been seen, but that didn't stop people from recreating a horrifying, yet powerful looking monster. Listen in to learn which two animals created the smartest, strongest and most cunning creature that even the gods were afraid of its existence.

Happy April Fools Day! This week by special request (shout out to Bailey!) we discuss the African cryptid, the Grootslang. A creature of myth said to be half elephant half snake, or "snelephant" if you will, the Grootslang is said to bring evil and boy oh boy did it cause chaos during our recording session.

The Grootslang or Grote Slang (Afrikaans and Dutch for "big snake") is a legendary cryptid that is reputed to dwell in a deep cave in the Richtersveld, South Africa. The Kelly–Hopkinsville encounter, also known as the Hopkinsville Goblins Case, and to a lesser extent the Kelly Green Men Case, is the name given to a series of connected incidents of alleged close encounters with presumably extraterrestrial beings. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/myneighbormothman/support

It’s a legendary creature said to live in the Richtersveld, a desert region of South Africa. Was the Grootslang an abomination from the dawn of the Earth, or a mythological warning against the dangers of man’s greed?

Not long after the turn of the 20th Century, a group of intrepid explorers set out to find a fabled cave in the mountainous, desert wastelands of South Africa. Though their journey had been fraught with danger, it would be nothing compared to the utterly bizarre beast that one of them would encounter within a cavernous orifice, which the indigenous Nama people had dubbed the “Wondergat” or, as it translates to English, the “Mystery Hole.” The Cryptonaut Podcast Patreon https://www.patreon.com/cryptonautpodcast Cryptonaut Podcast Enamel Pin set: https://cryptonautpodcast.bigcartel.com/product/cryptonaut-podcast-enamel-pin-set Cryptonaut Podcast Bigcartel Store: https://cryptonautpodcast.bigcartel.com Cryptonaut Podcast Teepublic Merch Store: https://www.teepublic.com/stores/the-cryptonaut-podcast?ref_id=7702 Listener Survey https://survey.libsyn.com/cryptonaut Stay Connected with the Cryptonaut Podcast:Website - Twitter - Facebook - Instagram

This week we go spelunking (figuratively, obvs) into the "Wondergat" or "Wonder Cave" that is home to the South African Cryptid, the Grootslang. Some sources say The Grootslang (or Grote Slang, Dutch / Afrikaans for "Big Snake") is a GIANT cobra (40 feet / 12 meters long), and some differ and say it has the head of an elephant and the body of a snake. Either way, it lives in the Richtersveld in South Africa and hoards gems (especially diamonds). We talk about the characteristics of the Grootslang, how it may have come to be (Dutch settlers or the indigenous Nama people, or a mishmash of both?), when the hell battery powered flashlights came about, why the Grootslang covets gems, and most importantly, what alignment it (and we are). We read a couple of excerpts from 'first-hand' accounts in the early-mid 1900s, and stress the importance of NOT BUYING blood diamonds, and don't recommend traveling with dynamite. If you have any personal stories about creatures, monsters, or cryptids (even if you don't know what it was), please email us at stories@folkloreontherocks.com so we can eventually do a listener episode! Visit us at folkloreontherocks.com for more in depth notes, links, and pictures. Once we hit 100 iTunes reviews, we'll release a bonus episode with a listener selected creature!

Today we look directly into the sun! And then journey into the deepest caverns in Africa in search of the Grootslang. Sungazing is the belief that you don't need to eat. Or drink. All you need is to look at the sun for 45 minutes a day and all other things will become unnecessary. Except for a seeing eye dog. Then we go to Africa to meet the Grootslang! It's the first day of our Cryptid Week and today we examine the myth, and possible reality, of a monstrous half-elephant/half-snake. And you thought Bigfoot was scary!
