Kevin Bacon has a great story similar to this. The town they filmed Footloose in was notorious for cracking down on drinking, dancing, and partying in general, just like the town in the movie. They locals in general disliked the cast and crew for their distrust of Hollywood parties and drugs and, in Kevin's own words, they were absolutely right because that's what they did every night back at the hotel.
Gotcha. Ghost stories come from people, bigfoot, the Loch ness Monster, and UFOS. I can just picture Nessie and Bigfoot spooking people and giggling about it now.
Not necessarily. Many of them likely come from natural phenomena that people at the time didn't understand. Like gases causing ghostly lights to appear in certain regions; or naturally occurring sounds that couldn't be identified; etc.
In all seriousness, I had/have a desire to go onto various bigfoot hunting sites/forums, Reddit especially, to ask everybody what they've seen hunters do wrong, so that I can do everything right. Then I'll go out into the woods where everybody points me at, document everything the way that they all suggest, then rake in the money from streaming & donations while indirectly proving that bigfoot doesn't exist. Not a scam, I'd be doing everything legit, exactly how they all suggest.

Chaotic Good version of Scooby Doo villains.

Locals are cryptids? Ever been to the Silver Town region of Niagara Falls Canada?

I feel like putting witchy stuff in the woods for people who are looking for witchy stuff is a bad strategy to get them to leave you alone

The cryptid was inside us all along

The real cryptids were the friends we made along the way

That's why Leon had to kill them all.

We were the real monsters we met along the way.

"Dave. Dave! You're scaring the fish, man!"

Yep, here’s the video proof. Checkmate, skeptics.

My dude right there gets it. ✊

The cryptids aren’t just violent, attacking a human with his own dismembered limb is downright mean.
NickNoltesDrinkingShack
Honestly, it's a bit rude. I know I feel that way anytime someone approaches my shack, but to just go out and do it? Living the best life.

This is where all ghost stories come from, people. And yes, Bigfoot and the Loch Ness monster and I'm afraid UFOs, too.

You got that wrong, it's just from the "I'm afraid" UFOs, not all of them.

Ghost sightings also come from old timey radiator gas leaks.

People who swear they saw Bigfoot probably just saw sasquatch or a big skunk ape
beneaththewillowtree
It’s amazing how many people confuse the giant Pacific Northwest Sasquatch with the Western hairy giant Bigfoot
Babomonkey
It's amazing how bigfoot/sasquatch country precisely overlaps with black bear country.

If you think you can *possibly* do everything exactly how they all suggest, you clearly haven't been around people like this enough.
