Description: The Sandown Clown was a strange being encountered by two young children vacationing at Lake Common, Sandown, Isle of Wight (UK) in May of 1973. Following a sound like an ambulance siren, the children wandered across a footbridge over a stream, and met a curious, unidentifiable being that has been described as "a cross between a clown, a robot, and an alien". It was a shy, but friendly being, and spoke kindly to the children for almost half an hour before they returned to their parents. It seemingly vanished after the encounter, and has never been seen again.
Description: Wendigo - The Spirit of Lonely Places. “Wendigo is a mythological creature or evil spirit from the folklore of the First Nations Algonquin tribes based in the northern forests of the East Coast of Canada and Great Lakes Region of Canada and the United States. The wendigo is depicted as a monstrous malevolent spirit, with some characteristics of a human or as a spirit, who has possessed a human being. Its influence is said to invoke acts of murder, insatiable greed, cannibalism and the cultural taboos against such behaviours.” – Excerpt from Wikipedia.

Description: A fashion illustration inspired by the Fresno Nightcrawler, a cryptid first sighted in 2007 in Fresno, CA on surveillance footage of a man’s front yard. It has been described as a ghostly pale, very tall pair of pants, or a white semi humanoid figure with no arms and extremely long legs. Sightings of similar creatures were reported in Yosemite National Park in 2011, as well as in Montana and Poland. Although some sightings have proven to be hoaxes, the original footage has yet to be disproven, and so the mystery remains. My design was inspired by the description of the Fresno Nightcrawler as a “tall pair of pants”, which reminded me of the high waisted sailor pants popular among women in the 1930s and 1940s.
Description: According to various legends, the Loveland Frogman was first sighted by a traveling salesman driving along an unnamed Loveland, Ohio road late at night in 1955. In one story, the driver was heading out of the Branch Hill neighborhood when he spotted three figures stood erect on their hind legs along the side of the road, each 3 to 4 feet in height, with leathery skin and frog faces. In other versions of the story, the creatures were spotted under or over a poorly lit bridge, and one held a wand over its head that fired a spray of sparks. In 1972, the Loveland Frogman legend gained renewed attention when a Loveland police officer reported to a colleague that he had seen an animal consistent with descriptions of the frogman.
