October-ganza 14: New England’s Cryptids
Leave a commentOctober 14, 2014 by Bret Kramer (aka WinstonP)
Should you be in need of a new entity for your Lovecraft Country game, a little digging into weird and mythological creatures of New England can prove most fruitful… it worked for Lovecraft after all. Consider some of these as inspiration:
- The Gloucester Sea Serpent
- The Casco Bay Merman
- The Melon Heads of Connecticut
- Vermont disappearances (not a creature, I admit)
- Mercy Brown, ‘Vampire’
The world’s sole Cryptozoological “museum” is in Portland, Maine, oddly enough.
For more information on such beasties, there are loads of websites and several books – Monsters of Massachusetts, the Vermont Monster Guide, Haunted Maine…
