State Secrets: Kentucky – The Coal Creature

.

This is one of the most recent arrivals on the cryptid scene, having first been sighted in 2015. It usually looks like a large bear made of coal and surrounded by a light haze of coal dust, but it has also looked like a large cat and a gorilla.

So far, the Coal Creature has not harmed anyone, but it has gone into working mines and somehow degraded the coal into a much less valuable grade of coal. This, as you might expect, drives the coal companies crazy, assuming they find out about it. The very few miners who have seen the creature do not speak much about it.

The SXU tries to get more info on the Coal Creature, but it has not been easy, since the creature vanishes for long periods of time.

State Secrets: Louisiana – Born Of The Bayou

.

Down in the bayous of Louisiana, you will sometimes hear a Cajun mention Le vieil homme du marais, the old man of the swamp. This legendery swamp dweller is said to be the spirit and master of the swamp, seldom seen, but always watching.

Amazingly, this is almost exactly the truth. Sometime around 1780, a young Acadian man died in the swamp and was reborn as something more than human. He lives on to this day, over 200 years later.

The form he takes is that of a middle aged man of average height and weight. His skin is tanned and he is pretty muscular. His eyes are an odd shade of green. He seldom speaks, but when he does he speaks Cajun French.

The Old Man is said to be able to speak with and control the creatures of the swamp, as well as use the trees to move great distances quickly. He has been known to save lost people and punish poachers.

The SXU has tried to find the Old Man, but so far has turned up nothing.
