CFZ-USA: May 2018

Ireland in the Midddle Ages, apart from having a high king, had a considerable number of petty kingdoms. One of these was called Ossory, called after its resident tribe, the Osraige. The last king was Donal IV, whose reign ended in 1176.

The curious thing about the Osraige was they had the local reputation of turning into werewolves from time to time. This is strange because their tribal name comes from the word os, an old or obsolescent word for a deer. How they attained a reputation for lycanthropy is anybody's guess. As wolves were widespread in Ireland, it is not impossible that they dressed in wolfskins for some ritual or ceremony.

The word for a werewolf in the Irish language (which was the majority language in the country before 1850) is conriocht. However, there was in early times a special word for a female werewolf: conoel (modern conaol).

One of the lesser-known cryptids is the ngoroli. It is said to live in the Central African Republic, where it frisks about in the River Vovodo. It is about 10'/3m in length. It has tusks and it is hairy. I suspect caution is advisable in its vicinity.

With all the talk online about Mothman in the Chicago region and elsewhere, it might be worth looking back at a similar creature reported from Siberia in the 1930s-40s and occasionally since. This was referred to as Letayuschiy chelovek (flying man). It was reported from the area of Vladivostok. It was said to live in the Pidan Mountains.

Even earlier, a flying man was reported in Siberia in 1908.
