What is the opposite of a yes deer? A Not Deer. *ba dum tis*. According to the Cryptid Wiki, "The Not Deer is a creature said to inhabit the Appalachian Mountains with most sightings being in the state of Tennessee." If you look at the common trends in the paranormal, a lot have to do with the high strange in the Appalachia areas. Specifically right around West Virginia. A lot of folk magik still be practiced in 2024, cryptid sightings up the wazoo, and occult like traditions like not to whistle at night. One of these stories is what we talk about this week. A Not Deer. A strange creature that looks like a deer, but does not act like one. Being able to run on its hind legs at fast speeds, incredible intelligence, and frightening features.

163 – Ushi-oni

According to Yokai.com, "A terror from Western Japan, ushi oni is a class of monster that lives near water. The name literally means “ox demon,” and it refers to a number of different monsters with bovine traits. Most Ushi oni resemble an ox from the head up and a demonic horror below. Many variations are known to exist; the body of an ox with a head like an oni’s; the head of an ox on a body like a spider’s or a cat’s; or even an ox’s head on the body of a kimono-clad human (a Japanese version of the minotaur)." This thing is wild. It's one part siren, one part spider, one part ox, and did we mention it BREATHES POISION GAS?!

165 – The Aswang

According to Allthatinteresting.com, "According to centuries-old Filipino folklore, the aswang combines the most terrifying traits of vampires, were-beasts, and witches into a single monster that inspires unparalleled fear to this day." So what we have here is a sort of distant relative of Count Panek. It's a strange creature out of the Filipino folklore that maybe a bit scary for our younger audience, so viewer discretion is advised. We also talk about spooky chicken nugget shapes? All that and more on the episode of Bob After Dark!
