British Cryptids is an Analog Horror web series created by Whinny Moor and Colin Leutcher, professing to be a long lost documentary from The '70s, focusing on unknown creatures sighted across Great Britain and its own history.But forget the Loch Ness Monster, Alien Big Cats, or any other cryptid of the UK you may have heard of. These cryptids are all something far more... different.There is also a spinoff called Man's Unknowable World which focuses on paranormal phenomona not related to the creatures, so far consisting of the episode "Mising Persons".On March 8 2024, a teaser for a new series was released, called Europan Cryptids.See also Whinny Moore's Instagram page. | |

Arbitrary Skepticism | |
| British Cryptids (Web Video) / int_13eea985 | comment |
Arbitrary Skepticism: Although the narration often takes exceedingly weak 'evidence' for the cryptids it is discussing at face value, 'The Woodwose of Cannock Chase' dismisses the existence of Bigfoot out of hand, describing it is as obvious hoax. | |

The Ghost | |
| British Cryptids (Web Video) / int_1ba17583 | comment |
The Ghost: A few cryptids are mentioned but not elabourated on any further. The Lancaster Perch-Man, mentioned in the Dregpike episode. The Cave Children of Coniston, mentioned in the Introduction's description and seen in a newspaper in "Stag Men". Their story is eventually told in brief as an aside in 'The Woodwose of Cannock Chase', suggesting that they were intended for a full episode and then scrapped. | |

| British Cryptids (Web Video) / int_1d029135 | comment |
Fictional Document: Almost every episode contains quotations, and images of, numerous fictional books and news reports. Examples include: "Lanou, the Amazon Girl" by the equally fictional writer Florez Blackwell is mentioned in the Woodwose episode. It's also an example of Famous, Famous, Fictional as it comes right after mentioning Mowgli and Tarzan. | |

Wild Child: The Cave Children of Coniston, a pair of feral children who lived in a slate cave and died during a severe winter, are discussed in 'The Woodwose of Cannock Chase' alongside some real or putatively-real examples like Victor of Aveyron and Marie-Angelique Memmie le Blanc. | |

The Freak Show: Emma Watterson, a woman with hypertrichosis, was sold by her family to a travelling freakshow, escaped, and ended up living as a hermit on Cannock Chase. A photograph shown of her is an edited photograph of a real hypertrichosis sufferer, Alice Elizabeth Doherty. | |

Anachronism Stew: Keen-eared viewers may recognise that some of the information and dates given don't match up with reality. The most egrigous case is that the very word "cryptid" wasn't coined individually until 1983. | |

Gruesome Goat: The Ramflaggie of Argyll is an enormous, supposedly carnivorous goat associated with blizzards and avalanches. The episode focusing on it makes a point of emphasising the relationship between the monstrous Ramflaggie and depictions of the devil, associating it with witchcraft. | |

| British Cryptids (Web Video) / int_99b2613a | comment |
Oop North: It's easier to list the cryptids that aren't found in the northern countiesSpecifically The Twiggywitch is from the Anglo-Welsh border, the Woodwose is from Cannock Chase in Staffordshire, and the Ramflaggie is from Scotland as opposed to England all together. The Yorkshire Yeti is from well, Yorkshire. The Seawolf is from Souter in South Tyneside, Tyne and Wear. The Dregpike is from the Lakes District in Cumbria. The Stag Men are reported from Yorkshire, though they also range into Scotland and Wales too. | |

Bigfoot, Sasquatch, and Yeti | |
| British Cryptids (Web Video) / int_9c23f3a0 | comment |
Bigfoot, Sasquatch, and Yeti: The Yorkshire Yeti is a sheep-killing humanoid from Yorkshire exactly like the Yeti of the Himalayas. The Woodwose is a hairy Wild Man that is actually compared to bigfoot come the 70's (the then-present day). However, the series itself bears skepticism towards Bigfoot itself, calling it a film hoax and a man in an ape costume as opposed to a flesh and blood creature, as opposed to the Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane angle it takes to the rest of the series' subjects. | |

Monster Misogyny | |
| British Cryptids (Web Video) / int_c16f48aa | comment |
Monster Misogyny: Both Stag Men and Woodwose are associated with luridly-reported attacks on women: Mary Evans and Jane Owen were attacked by a Stag Man near Gladestry, Radnorshire. Jane escaped, but Mary fainted and was apparently killed or abducted. According to a 'Penny Horrible', the Huntston sisters of Brockton Hall were killed on Cannock Chase after being abducted by a Woodwose. One was killed and partly devoured, the other escape but was accidentally shot by a local man. | |

Mars Needs Women | |
| British Cryptids (Web Video) / int_e4d9e13b | comment |
Mars Needs Women: The narrator seems oddly fixated on the idea that semi-humanoid cryptids, like Stag Men and Woodwose, desire sex with human women. The narrator suggests that Classical satyrs are based on Stag Men, and the satyrs penchant for sex with maidens reflects a folk memory of Stag Men mating with human women. John Ralph's account of meeting Emma Watterson and a woodwose on Cannock Chase speculates that the woodwose was her mate. | |
