As a huge horror/sci-fi/fantasy fan myself, I'm familiar with a lot of obscure monsters, aliens, and demons that most people don't even know exist. So trust me when I say this, most of the creatures I've seen labeled as "real" are just obscure horror film characters being edited into a real life setting via shitty chroma key effects.

How do those bullshit hoaxes manage to gather up so many views but the videos that are actually creative and well put together are tragically ignored? Whenever I see one of those intentionally disturbing thumbnails on my YouTube suggested feed I just roll my eyes. It's obvious from the get go that every single image they show is Photoshopped, some of them are so corny it's almost laughable.

Probably the stupidest one I've found is when they showed "real" footage of a certain giant yak-type creature with a pale human face and spider-type legs crawling around a city. How is that the stupidest one? Because I FUCKING SAW THOSE SAME EXACT CREATURES ON HALLOWEEN! I know first hand that those things are Halloween costumes, not legit lifeforms that actually exist. Hell, I was probably THERE when that video was filmed you just couldn't see me in the background. It was clearly the same exact Halloween night, in the same exact town we were trick-or-treating in. Some smart-ass teenager probably whipped out his smartphone, took an image of the Halloween costumes, and posted it to YouTube with the title "MYSTERIOUS UNKNOWN CREATURE CAUGHT ON CAMERA!" slapped onto it.

If that was the case, then it really does show how stupid society still is even now. That one jackass who uploaded footage of some dude in a Halloween costume and labeled it "real" is probably a fucking rich man now due to the fuckloads of views that ridiculous video has received over time. Remember a time when people actually got rich from doing hard work instead of merely posting stupid shit to the Internet? Those were the days!
