Manage episode 440940145 series 3376480
The term “eldritch horror” has seen a lot of popularity in the darker corners of the internet. Monstrous beings like Cthulhu have cemented themselves in popular culture. But what if H.P. Lovecraft, the founder of Cosmic Horror, wasn’t the first to create such artistic works? What if Lovecraft borrowed inspiration from something far more tangible than we ever hope to admit? Well, according to Maryland locals, the Snallygaster, a beast depicted as a massive, part bird-part reptilian beast with huge wings, metallic talons that resembled steel hooks, one single eye right in the center of its head, and a long, pointed, razor-sharp beak that was lined with rows of razor-sharp teeth and has been rumored to uncurl a set of long tentacles from out of its throat and then wrap around its victim’s wounds and begin to use the suction cups along those tentacles to drain it’s victims dry. And yes, it is as scary as it sounds. ------- CHAPTERS: 00:00 - Start 01:08 - H.P. Lovecraft, He might love it but no one else did. 03:04 - The Snallygaster took his life. 05:49 - What is a Snallygaster?
