If you like, I'll dig around so often and email them to you (or post 'em here on the BTS site), if you want TH to have a more "active" role at Lazlo.

In the meanie wily, I'm just putting the finishing touches to my Closet Demon.

Closet Demon! Version: First Draft! Hopefully, up this Friday . . .

Thats not bad!

Dibs on writing it up!

Just kidding. I think. Maybe.

The possession-method is a better way of introducing crytozoology critters that how I was thinking about doing it. It fits the BtS mythos very well. I would definitely use such an entity. Don't forget some discorporation effects.

Go for it, P.E.G.!

this can go a lot of different directions as far where to go with it, but I did start with a hint where a supernatural creature might use fossils as its physical medium to wander the earth. So in theory a 43ft supernatural snake could easily show up in someone's game someday

Elf Girl rocks the Kazbah for finding this one!

In 1896., strange corpse was washed ashore at St. Augustine beach, Florida. Huge, deformed corpse arrived along with winter tides, attracted the attention of Dr DeWitt Webb from local Science and History society. Dr Webb prevented locals to do damage to the corpse until he coould identify it. That's how he saved first physical evidence that giant octopus do exist on the ocean bottom.
Dr Webb sent many letters to prof. W. H. Dall of National Museum in Washington. The corpse was stuck in the sand and doctor tried to turn it around first. "We couldn't move the corpse", he wrote, "and that means that it weighted six or seven tons, because twelve men with wheel and rope should be able to move anything under that weight." Later, dr. Webb came back with four horses, six men, three hooks, iron backups and with lots of hard wooden boards, and they barely made it to drag the corpse 40 ft. along the beach.
Now he could tell prof. Dall that this corpse has no backbone, beak, or anything else what could belong to a squid. The corpse was no squid. It was 21 ft. long and seven ft. wide, and the skin was 3.5 inch thick, and axe-proof. However, Dr Webb took samples of the tissue and sent them to Washington.
After short discussion, experts have pronounced that the corpse belongs to a whale. Smithsonian Institution conclusion was that "they cannot afford sending someone all the way down to Florida just to examine the corpse!"
But Dr Webb kept some of the samples in his basement. 75 years later, those samples were found by two scientific detectives, Joseph Gennaro and F.G. Wood, after they read about the event in some old newspaper. Gennaro, professor of the cellular biology at the University of New York, prepared samples for histological analysis. he looked at the samples through a microscope and immediately found out that this tissue doesn't belong to a whale. Neihter it was a squid. Looking one sample over the other, he was forced to conclude that the corpse really is an octopus. But, implications were almost unimaginable; the corpse of that size presented an octopus 200 ft. long, with legs the size of Broadway or Oxford Street.
Meanwhile, Wood reviewed the St Augustine documents. Yes, there were pieces of legs near the corpse; some of them were still fastened to the corpse itself. A local named Wilson saw a 32 ft. long leg western from the corpse, and three legs on the south. He said: "The one I measured was 32 ft. long and looked like it was fastened to the corpse, but I couldn't dig to prove it because it was quite deep in the sand, and I was very tired." Wilson's statement was honest and precise.
Ever since then numerous other corpses have been found, especially near Bahamas. People of Bahamas called that creature Lusca, and it is not a squid. It must have been an octopus.
