This creature is more of a cryptid rather than a supernatural being. It had been seen by people near the swamps or lakes of Western Zambia, Angola and Congo. But it wasn’t just the natives that know of their existence. It even caught the attention of a European explorer called Frank Welland where he talked about it in his book called “In Witchbound Africa” from the year 1932. It was apparently the first written account of the creature.
From the description of the creature in both the book and the accounts of eyewitnesses; the creature was said to be a very large, bird-like creature with red leathery wings but has no feathers on them. If one were to assume what the creature was, they would say it was a type of Pterosaur.
Apparently sightings and attacks of similar creatures have been seen in other parts of Africa but it goes by different names.
Makes you think if there a lost world like that book from Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Where prehistoric animals still exist. Except this is in Africa rather than the Amazon; and its not a lot of different animals, just the big bird-like creature.
But we do have satellite images now. So if there is a lost world we’d probably see it by now. Hmm… but… I digress.
There is no real evidence to its existence other than people’s sightings and accounts of them being attacked by it. Apparently the last report of it was in the 1980s, which is technically quite recent I must say. So was this creature made up or real? We might never know and it would be forever a cryptid.
