Field catalog · Est. somewhere off a farm road
Something's out there, y'all.
Every critter Texas swears it saw: the owl-witch over the Valley, the goat-man of Lake Worth, the thing in the Piney Woods. Their histories, their haunts, and the merch to prove you believe.

Cryptid Catalog
Every legend gets a case number, a home range and a Creep-o-Meter score, measured in rattles. Five rattles means don't stop the truck.

We grew up on porch stories. The Lechuza on the power line, the Donkey Lady under the bridge, the uncle who swears something big crossed FM 2148 in front of his headlights.
Texas Cryptids started as a notebook of those stories and turned into this catalog. We track down where each legend came from, who first told it, and where folks still report it today. Then we draw every critter as a clean, bold pictogram, and those drawings become the stickers and shirts in our shop.
We're a small Texas outfit. Every sale keeps the lights on and the notebook growing. If you've got a story your grandma told you, send it our way through our Etsy shop messages.
How we keep the files
- Folklore firstWe report what people tell and what the record shows. We don't fake evidence and we don't sell certainty.
- Credit the storytellersThese legends belong to the communities that kept them alive, from the Valley to the Piney Woods.
- Respect the landNever trespass for a sighting. Most of Texas is private property, and the snakes are real even when the monsters aren't.
