All of our governors go to jail. taxes are out of control. our roads are garbage. we've had record tornadoes this year. we just don't have time to be stressed out about cryptids. they're going to do their thing and we're going to do ours.

Oh yah….we have Bigfoot, Thunderbirds, mermaids, aliens, and the mystery big cat. And I’m kinda offended my family failed to get some fountain of youth water. When I was growing up we’d be driving in the unincorporated area and triangle planes would follow us. I assume they came from the Great Lakes Naval base. Recent sightings of Bigfoot in central IL. We have Egyptian connections too!

We are more concerned by the way it can be 4 seasons in 24 hours than some silly little creatures

We’ve got too much to deal with in Illinois we don’t have time to worry about our cryptids. They’re grown they take care of themselves just fine

Hi, from Illinois, we also like to chase after the afterlife. Where I live in Illinois I’m surrounded by haunted locations that the locals like to hang out at.

when we were kids growing up in Lockport was fun. almost every Halloween our mom would take us past a cemetery in Lemont looking for the lady in white. Never saw her, but the scary stories with my sister and our friends will live on forever. Sometimes our mom would load us up in the van and try to chase weird lights in the sky lol. our childhood was not boring😁

My friend gets oddly aggressive when ever we drive by the fountain of youth. Maybe he is supposed to be the guardian.

hi rural Illinois citizen. we're so casual due to the fact that we're all just as weird or "special" as the things we go to hunt.
