Cryptids in Ireland

I was browing YouTube today and this video randomly popped up in my search, and I thought it might be of interest to the Cryptozoologists here onsite.



It's causing quite a stir amoung the TikTok and Youtube communities with the younger crowd, let's see what the Old Schoolers here on site have to say about this information and video testimony.

Enjoy!

Floating Palm Trees

Lol. It's just a palm leaf, not a tree. Also pretty easy to create any number of ways.

The skull in the first few minutes is actually some ordinary animal skull that has been turned around backward and holes chipped or drilled into the back of the head to look like eyes and nose. You can see the occipital condyle protrusions that look like "fangs", but are just the parts normally next to the spinal cord. There appears to be some kind of grey plastery/clay used to fill in the original front part so it looks like a smoothish cranium.

The effort gone into making the backward skull leads me to believe this was just someone who enjoyed a bit of artistic liberty with animal parts.

A few comments:

1. On the doorbell cam creature, I did think "hairless cat" at first, but those are definitely not cat paws obviously.
If not CG or some kind of doll, then IDK what that is.

2. On the black crop circle, I wonder if it could be a simple partially opaque effects mask put over the video footage?
If not, could they have drawn the design with an accelerant, such as gasoline, and kept the outlines wetted with water hoses as it burned? Because it looks charred to the eye.

3. On the palm tree floating. I saw another similar video of the same phenomenon a few months ago. One thing I noticed was that both videos showed the object floating near or under power lines. Maybe a few strands of high test deep sea fishing line
that the camera just barely misses?

Dagnabbit! You're just too quick. Indeed, growing up my friends and I just couldn't keep ourselves from running outside during high winds and finding clever ways to suspend palm fronds about 12 feet above residential streets. Used to really piss off our parents.

Well it's not much more effort than writing a full fake encounter story about Slender-man or The Rake and posting it online.
Glitch in the matrix is still an active subreddit and people do hoax just for fun.
Also, if we'd all had camera phones and the internet in our palms everywhere we went as kids, I bet a lot of us would have hoaxed more. Not saying it's a hoax, but it would be pretty easy to fake.

It certainly is. The fake "Leprechaun" and "Banshee" likely took twice the effort to create than the best SCP entry. That's what gives them away.

Honestly I picked out the palm frond for GE's amusement because she also knows that's the only one that's not fake.

Byrd would have picked out the Irish artifact McFakery before I would, but I'm a little slow.

As far as the technology? The hardware stands no chance against particular human wetware.

Or occur naturally when wind forms what is known as wave or standing wave.

Honestly, the little critter in the still footage was what grabbed my attention.

Curious little guy, I have no idea what it could possibly be.

The wee beasties that inspired the Gargoyles on Cathedrals?

Nah. They're fake, and likely gay-er than two humpbacks at Mar-a-Lago.

Evidence please.

Looks like my Uncle Leo after he went on another Bender........

a reply to: Zanti Misfit

LOL!

Right on.
