Cryptid of the Day: Fiskerton Phantom 

Description: Throughout the 1990’s, people around Lincolnshire, England reported seeing a jet-black, bear-like creature which was dubbed “the Fiskerton Phantom”. It was first seen by four young girls near Short Ferry pub. The girls fled into the pub, and later paw prints were found in the place of the sighting. It is one of many creatures called Alien Big Cats.

Au of mine where Zak was abducted by Argost and his crew during an attack on the Saturday's HQ in search of the kur stone only a few years after it was stolen back from Weird World. That was a mouth full, but I had to get it out.

My idea was that the Saturday's HQ, Miranda's lab, and Dr Chiveyo's observatory were all attacked the way they were in The Kur Stone pt 1, only Argost didn't take forever tracking the pieces down, all locations were destroyed and burned down, with everyone surviving. But Doc and Drew place Zak in a safe room so they can defend their home, with Zak being instructed not to leave. Well, after the fight he does and finds the HQ burned down. He is then found and taken by Van Rook, as there actually might have been a part of him that still held feelings for Drew, and not wanting to kill her son.

Argost, on the other hand, convinces him his family is dead and raises him, quite harshly, to be one of his goons.

Doc and Drew find the safe room empty during their attempt to salvage their home and believe that Zak must have perished in the attack. It did burn down after all.

So, many years later....

They discover that not only did their son survive, but he was taken and raised by the very monster who killed all of the secret scientists many years earlier. And that he considered Argost his father.

I know, I know, I need to stop watching Arcane. But even though his design is Arcane inspired, he's not psycho. He knows who his parents are and when he finds out Argost lied to him, he turns on him. I also like that the secret scientists have their own individual majors, and I like to see Zak being interested not only in biology, but chemistry as well, not just what his parents are into.

Also, I want him and Ulraj to still be best friends in this AU, too, and they have matching shark bazookas. Ulraj's is blue. So Zak's would be a tiger shark and Ulraj's would be a great white shark.

What the fuck am I looking at.

The Fiskerton Phantom is a cat-like cryptid found in the United Kingdom. The Fiskerton Phantom is 4ft. tall with abnormally large appendages, cat-like ears, and huge eyes which makes sense since it is presumed to be nocturnal. Experts believe the Fiskerton Phantom is some sort of bear.

Ok I know I'm either definitely younger or didn't watch the same cartoons.

Who is Zak Saturday?

ZAK SATURDAY MY BELOVED

Zak is the protagonist of a series called The Secret Saturdays! It's a fantastic show that aired on Cartoon Network but didn't get much attention so I will plug it when I can!

Zak is an 11 year old boy who travels with his parents who are Cryptozoologists. But ofc all the Cryptids are ya know. Real. Zak also has the power to control/influence Cryptids.

His parents are Drew and Solomon 'Doc' Saturday and they're beautiful I love them they love each other so much absolute battle couple and scientific nerds.

The family also has a few Cryptids in it. There's Fisk, the Fiskerton Phantom, Komodo, a genetically-altered komodo dragon, and Zon who is some kinda Pterosaur. Those three kinda exist in a funky 'are they sapient or just intelligent pets?' thing.

Only other family member is Drew's little brother Doyle who she thought was dead but they run into each other and it's a mess but ultimately good!

(Well that's not if you don't count their evil counterparts from a Mirror Dimension as 'Family')

The Saturdays are part of a group called The Secret Scientists who study weird phenomenon. Cryptids, aliens, quantum physics, etc.

Our villain! Say a hearty greetings and bienvenue to V. V. Argost! The charismatic host of tv show Weird World where he shows off and educates the people about Cryptids! But he's an evil bastard with a hell of a kill count who wants to resurrect a Cryptid God called Kur that has the power to control Cryptids use their power to take over the world.

The Secret Saturdays had a crossover epsiode with Ben 10: Omniverse, though they seem to be in similar Times so by this point Zak is 16.

DANNY PHANTOM × THE SECRET SATURDAYS AU THAT NO ONE ASKED FOR!

The Saturdays find themselves haunted by a strange wolf ghost that raids their fridge at night. At first they thought it was a new cryptid but Zak can't influence it, so they look to other sources 👀

Cryptid Crawl!

@currentlylurking

AO3

[Video starts, showing a young person with dyed pink and blue hair sitting in front of a poster with the words ‘Cryptid Crawl!’ superimposed on a world globe.  The letters are colored with a pink and blue camo pattern reminiscent of the person’s hair.  In the background of the poster are numerous cartoonish glaring eyes.]

Welcome back cryptid crawlers to the latest entry in our cryptid crawl across the continental US!  Tonight, we visit the small town of Amity Park, Illinois.  Now, experienced cryptozoologists might recognize that name as the self-proclaimed Most Haunted Town in America.  But we aren’t here for the ghosts.  Amity Park has much more to offer than just spooky stories - no offense to our fellow paranormal investigators.  

I’m talking about the Amity Park Phantom.

Now, you might be going what?  Crawly, a Phantom?  That’s a ghost!  But I will remind you all of the Fiskerton Phantom, which is very much not a ghost and is very much a living creature.  

Of course, that doesn’t mean that the Amity Park Phantom is the same kind of creature as the Fiskerton Phantom.  In fact, descriptions of the creatures are very different.  The Fiskerton Phantom is described as a large, dark-furred cat-like or bear-like animal with pointed ears.  The Amity Park Phantom, meanwhile, is somewhat smaller than an adult human.  Still big, for an animal, but not that big.  Its color, meanwhile, is patchy, but sort of reminiscent of a tuxedo cat, if you know what I mean.  But the most eye-catching part of the Amity Park Phantom is definitely the eyes.  They’re big.  They’re bright.  They’re green.  And they glow.  Lemme show you.  

[The video shifts so that the right half the screen is taken up by a blurry photograph.  Most of the photo is of a city park, but towards the edge of the park is a black and white humanoid figure.  The figure’s face is obscured by a pair of bright green lights.]

Now, we all know the typical explanations mainstreamers and cryptid deniers put out.  Alien big cats, native cats with unusual coloration, owls.  I mean, you know how I feel about people saying Mothman is just an owl.  I mean, come on, man.  That’s crazy.  

Back on topic.  

Unlike most cryptids, the Amity Park Phantom is incredibly well documented.  

[The right half of the screen cycles through several more photographs of the same black and white figure.]

Seriously, the only reason it’s still a cryptid and not, like, getting someone on the cover of Genius magazine for discovering a new species - look, an enby like myself can dream, right?  I’m hot enough to be on a magazine! - is because all the picture are blurry.  Which I posit is because of its crazy traffic light eyes.  Also, it’s crazy fast and can fly.  

Yep.  This boy, girl, or other can fly.  Not sure how.  No visible wings - not that we can see with how blurry pictures of it already are, anyway.  But fly it does.  There are lots of pics and videos of it flying. 

The Amity Park Phantom also has one other thing going for it that other cryptids don’t get:  Official government recognition.  

Yeah, I’m not kidding you.  The City of Amity Park’s official, serious government position is that the Phantom exists, and not just as a tourist draw.  Which is, like, mind-blowing.  Most places don’t even recognize Bigfoot.  Mothman doesn’t even have this level of recognition, and Mothman has a statue!

You know the one I’m talking about.  

[The picture on the right changes to show an image of the Point Pleasant, Virginia Mothman statue, and then a close up of the statue’s butt.  It then returns to showing images of the Amity Park Phantom.]

Here’s the rub.  The reason the Phantom is still defined as a cryptid and not a real, living organism.  Amity Park might recognize that the Phantom exists, but… they think it’s a ghost.

But that’s not true.  Sorry, ghost hunters, we’re usually on the same side, but in this case, you’re wrong.  Just gotta tell it like I see it.

Let’s face the facts.  

One, the Phantom is not geographically bound.  Not to Amity Park itself - take a look at these pictures of it, or a similar creature, in Wisconsin.  

Two, the Phantom has been photographed and even videoed hanging around restaurants and begging for food, even to the point of flying through the drive-through and getting chased away by this really badass girl - seriously, she climbed out of the drive-through window and chased him off with a broom.  Girl, if you’re seeing this and you’re single, look me up.  

[Video is briefly replaced by a three-second clip of a young black woman in a ‘Nasty Burger’ employee uniform climbing out of a drive through window and chasing the Amity Park Phantom with a push broom.]

Not ghost behavior.  

Three, no matter how many sad dead children you dig up, none of them, not one of them matches Phantom’s appearance or behavior.  None.  Like, look at this man.  

[Photo montage stops on a slightly less blurry than usual picture of the Amity Park Phantom.]

His head is white.  That’s white hair.   Fur.  Whatever.  Oh, god, now they’ve got me doing it.  Yikes.  But you know what’s even more yikes?  Trying to use real tragedies to prop up a demonstrably false claim on the internet.  

Finally, and I think most damningly, is that you can get pictures of this guy.  I have never seen nor heard of a ghost getting photographed this reliably.  

Now, can I understand why people might think the Phantom is a ghost?  Sure.  He’s this funny glowy guy who can fly, and there are some reports that he’s got this active camouflage that would be so cool if it was real, because it sounds almost like invisibility.  Finding an organism that can do that would be a big support to crytozoologists everywhere.  Plus, it fits Amity Park’s schtick.  The whole ‘Most Haunted Town’ thing.

But there’s another reason for Amity Parkers to be so insistent that the Phantom is a ghost.  You see, they actually get funding for ‘ghost attacks.’  Yes, I know, it’s weird. On the other hand, they don’t give out funding for wild animal attacks.  Well, wait, I don’t actually know that, crap–

[Video cuts, jumping back to the blue-and-pink haired person.]

Okay, yeah, there’s some money for it, but it’s not ghost attack money.  God.  Anyway.  The ghost attack money– I can hardly say that with a straight face.  Wow.  It’s obviously only for ghost attacks, so.  Gotta have a ghost.  I am not making this up.  It’s on their website!  

Now, how much of this ghost attack damage is actually because of the Phantom… eh, that’s hard to tell.  Beyond the obvious obfuscation, no one’s ever been seriously injured by Phantom.  There’s this fun video someone photoshopped of it robbing a bank, though!  No idea why anyone would do that, but, you know.  It’s the internet.  They got the eye color wrong, though, maybe on purpose, so that’s something.  I’ll be putting the link to that video down below if any of you need a laugh.  

You might have noticed that this video is nearing its end, but don’t worry, this is not the last you’ll hear of the Amity Park Phantom.  Next week, I will be going to Amity Park, Illinois!  Personally!  If you live around there, you might just see me.  

On the other hand, that’s all for this week before I crawl back into my Cryptid Cave - I should really get that trademarked some day - so!  Don’t forget to like and subscribe if you haven’t already.  My patreon, ko-fi, and socials are listed below.  I need money, so don’t be shy.  If you have any cryptid stories, photography, or art, don’t be a cryptid yourself, make yourself known and send them in.  This week’s contributors are listed in the video credits.  See you next week!

various doodles from recently. a lot of glowing green dead children, weirdly enough

[kiskivmiske]

Tatzelwurm would be fun in warriors universe. It's like a cat mermaid, but with a snake tail instead of fish one.

Big british cats, fiskerton phantom (nightmare fuel), kellas cat, etc.

i want to see a book featuring cryptids and letting the cats figure out what they are. not a simple "oh turns out the horrible creature was just a twoleg thing/other animal!" storyline again. i want them to experience horrors beyond their comprehension. let them find kelpies and biasd bheulaches if you take the cats as living in scotland, or owlmen if they're english!!

It needed to be done and by god was I going to be the one to do it.
