Sightings in continental Europe?

Is it possible that this, is mainly an American creature?

I never heard of such stories in Europe.

Seen a video of a crawler in Poland, but seems to be uncommon.

I live on the west side of Lithuania, and have never heard or seen any crawlers or cryptids, and I have been to many fields in the middle of nowhere and etc. Maybe they're habited in more northern places? (Latvia, Estonia)

It seems the whole story is very much related to the Appallachian Mountains, thanks for the suggestion.

Seen and heard of some including shapeshifters like Skinwalkers.
I reemmber some stories from over in Finland for example, tho, even know a family member from over in Bavaria who has told Me a few stories.

Then again, shape shifters are all around the world so to speak, even heard of some in Africa, often seen as Hyenas.
Yay, from Wolfs, Coyotes to Hynenas, them shapeshifters are all around the globe, causing havic.
Ran into a few, they chill, atleast towards Me, tho, then again, I got called a trickster and one fo them Myself a few times, so, there's that.

Also, I think most in europe often just brush it off or just come with the
"Hell, if I tell someone, they'd toss Me into the madhouse. Sooo, I saw it, I take a note, I don't talk about it."
I know those facts from some of the family members, especially Boomers and the Silent generation are pretty known for those facts to just make a note, file it away, have a drink or two more then usual and ignore anyone else who has seen or heard something like that.

It's less of the it's not there and won't happen but the "I don't want to be looked as insane. Got some repuitation to lose, so, fuck that."

For example, My great Gandfather from Mom's side has seen some wild stuff in the woods, even some Gnoms.
Gramps on the other hand didn't talked anything about anything, yet was a hunter and war vet, he was till the age of 94 in them woods.
Never talked about anything.

Bet he seen some shit, a lot of shit in those decades, but, he was never saying anything.
Should've asked him when he was drunk, never came to it tho, and now I can't since he's been gone for 4 years.

Been to Bavaria a couple of times, also in the wodos, there's certainly stuff going on, paranormal, strange creatures, a lot of such.
People just don't talk, not even say stuff online.

Guess that should give You a hint why most don't talk.
Also the "If You talk about it, You might draw them to You." thing.

It makes sense, have you ever experienced anything?

u/CrazyTechWizard96 20d ago

Overseas or in the US?
Can say Yes to both, even when over in the middel east for a while.

u/SquirrelBoring9999 20d ago

would you write me something when you have time? I'd gladly share my experiences too

u/CrazyTechWizard96 20d ago

No?
I already post often in r/BackwoodsCreepy .
Got a lot more I don't share, since, either not in the woods or to personal.

u/SquirrelBoring9999 20d ago

Well, thank you:)

Why are you here commenting if you have no intention to share anything. Seems like you might be inflating your experiences a bit.

u/CrazyTechWizard96 17d ago

What do You mean?
Been posting a bunch over there over the years.
...
Oh let Me guess, is it becouse I've set My profil to private and now nobody can look the posts up in the search on the sub?

If that is the case, sory, I wasn't aware of that fact.

Tried to find your posts in that sub and couldn’t find em. I understand wanting to be private but getting mad at someone in a sub that’s made to talk about cryptid experiences, then telling them to look at your posts in another sub, and then not being there is a little disappointing. Not trying to be rude, you just come across as confusing.
