I remember those. The illustrations made the stories a lot creepier than they actually were.

Cryptids &/or aliens spook me terribly but I find them fascinating too. Flatwoods monster kinda lost its spook factor for me after drawing it one day.
I like to do draws based on the descriptions alone without taking into account the well-known artist depictions of these things just to see how my version matches up. So I did the Flatwoods one and imagine how disappointed I was when I finished and just saw I had drawn an owl.
@Cosmos , I'm with you on deep sea critters. Some of those things are nightmare fuel. Imagine encountering one of those things in the vast black emptiness. Dirty. Crapped. HOV.
So that's how pokemon are made? But yeah criptids are quite mysterious in some ways. Here in Puerto Rico we have the all famous Chupacabra, the Moca Vampire which was supposedly a vampire who attacked some workers and eve since then people have "sighted" it. Here's a news paper headline from it

Literally everything that lives 2000+ feet below the ocean surface is pure nightmare fuel. Observe.

Apparently living in pitch black darkness makes you develop into a hideous monster.

We should watch Lost Tapes as a group one day, it's pretty much an Animal Planet show which deals with cryptids and how they supposedly attack people, where they originated, the lore and stuff.

I can't watch that stuff at night. I'm a grown ass adult and I still get spooked. I'll go outside to smoke, hear a twig snap, and I think it's a family of bigfeet coming for me.

I was wondering how they took the pics of the scary deep sea animals:

There's a pretty creepy online manhwa (Korean manga) series called Chiller that you can read for free. It's actually where the infamous Bongcheon Dong Ghost comic was published in English; you can read it here. Needless to say, if you're looking for a scare, look no further.
The comics are great because they're very immersive, utilizing sound and movement to add to the atmosphere. I've heard that, for mobile users, their phones/tablets even vibrate during parts.

The walrus from Pingu is a nightmarish thing...
What a soulless and terrible vision to inflict on young minds...!

I'm having trouble thoroughly enjoying these because the pages don't show up completely on my screen for some reason, and stuff gets cut off. Can't find a solution either.

Have you tried restarting your browser and/or your computer? It sounds stupidly simple but it usually fixes problems like that.

Just grab an axe and go to town, that's how they killed the lizard man in that show.
Come to think of it, you can use an axe to kill anything, cryptid, animal, human, or otherwise. It'll solve all your problems.

That's only off-putting if you have trypophobia.
I wish they hadn't included the 'this is something that really happened' bit. That's been played up so often that it makes the story kind of cliche for me.
Naver made two more comics in the same vein: Ok-Su Station Ghost and Ghost in Masung Tunnel. They're kind of rehashes of the first comic, but they still have effective scares.

Ok I'll try to type one up of a REALLY messed up event that happened to me. It sounds like fake but it's real and I hate that it was.
I really like my outdoorsy stuff, camping hiking, general woodary fuck offing. Friend of mine has a nice plot of land in the mountains in Central PA. It's a very large plot and with the change in terrain the ups and downs you really can't leave his property in a half days hike and on 3 corners pretty easy to tell. I'm strolling due North to get to the top of the mountain. Should take me a bit to early after noon have lunch up there hang and stroll back for dinner was my game plan. Done it a few times before.
I'm closing to the top where it starts getting really intense, you can't see the crest yet but it's close maybe a 25 or so degree climb on wooded land closing to bare rock only. I'm all geared up because middle PA you do that. It's not hunting season a nice late summer morning private land should be just a wonderful time.
Like all real and pretend rednecks (myself being the latter) I bring a long everything I need for a day hike, that being a cuban cigar, lighter, camel back, booze and an SKS with around 90 rounds incase I feel the need to randomly shoot at things. Because private land and sometimes a tree stump looks at you wrong.
There's no eerie quiet, no pause nothing for the build up. Because spooky shit in real life seems to lack that hitchcocken build up. I hear a whizzing and then a crack. Now this is the first (and only time) i've been shot at. It's pretty incredible how some how I knew JUST what that sounds like. To those unaware it means the round reached you before the sound of the shot, or it was taken from far away. I jump behind a rock and start yelling everything that comes to mind "This is private land, There's someone down here, check your fire etc etc" I'm balled up and readying the rifle.
Another whizing but no report. I don't know what came over me, but the best idea seemed to be advance up and maybe returning fire would get their attention. With out the thought of this is a bad idea, or this is tactically smart or even more like holy shit what's happening I start yelling "someone's down here" as I charge up for the next rock making an open suppressing pattern as I empty the mag.
Tucked safely behind the rock I check my sides and throw another stripper in the gun. Now it all hits what just is happening. Fear hasn't sunk in but I feel dizzy on it all. I don't know what made me think it I said "I'm going to shoot" I place the rifle over the rock and just blindly dump the mag and peer my head over for some stupid reason.
I see a flash, not like a muzzle blast thank god, but something spectral. It fades away, not disappears out of sight like a flash. After this I got an eerie calm over me. I can't explain it but I knew I was safe. Empty rifle I stand up and stroll up to this flash point. I keep hunting around for spent rounds. I can't find any. For some reason I sit here eat my lunch and think it's not a bad idea to get drunk now.
I got back that night and everyone said the exact same thing with out me telling the story you look like you've seen a ghost. Now the group I'm with are good people but I just didn't tell them. took me a few months since much like me they aren't into spirituality or the undead or what not. They all tell me weird shit happens in the woods and I should have told them. Also one friend had to be THAT ass hole and told me I killed a game warden by mistake, what are friends for?

If I'm not mistaken the sound of rocks falling at a distance can be described exactly like that as well (what happened to you was bizarre though). Water streams from a great distance can mess with you too.
