CREATURE FEATURE
Let's take a spiritual journey.
It’s a new year! A time of rejuvenation, rebirth, reinvention. So, this month’s Creature Feature is of course… the coyote? Let’s discuss.
A chilling yuletide cryptid.
Krampus? I hardly know us! Is that something? Since we can all agree that it’s something, we can move on to the meat of the story: the holidays! It’s the most wonderful time of the year, and you know what that means. Come Christmas Eve, we’ll all be visited by a colorful figure of mythical proportions. Tall, bearded, red frock, satyr horns, cloven feet—wait, we’re thinking of the same guy, right?
This month's Creature Feature comes with a side of Horsey Sauce.
Giddy up! Introducing… the kelpie! And not the dog. Think more aquatic. Think more equine. Okay, think less seahorse. Now think more seahorse. Got it? Whatever, just keep reading.
A myth to take a Michigander at.
Journey, if you will, to the northern Midwest town of Rhinelander, Wisconsin. In the late 1800s, Anderson Brown traveled from Stevens Point up to the nexus of the Wisconsin and Pelican Rivers. The high banks and towering pines made Brown’s imagination soar with the possibilities of opening… a lumber mill! Hey, people weren’t too imaginative back then. But, once Anderson convinced his daddy to give him money, the town of Rhinelander was born.
A tale that's anything but blue.
You can’t talk about Paul Bunyan without his trusty sidekick and confidante, Babe. Legend has it that Paul stumbled upon baby Babe stuck in a snow drift during a frigid Minnesota (or Michigan or Maine or Wisconsin or Nova Scotia) winter. He took the teeny ox home, fed him and warmed him up, but Babe kept his newfound hue—because as we all know, snow is, and stains you, blue. Babe stayed with his adopted companion and grew with his legend.
