Local Cryptids
The Bodgeham Badger
The Bodgeham Badger is a local cryptid that has gained legendary status due to its ominous nature and mysterious abilities. To this day no credible evidence of its existence has been recorded. Despite this there have been many sightings over the years with a dramatic uptick during the lead up to the local village fete. The sightings suggest that the Badger is about the size of a human and has extrasensory abilities affecting human technology. More detailed information is within the reports below.
BADGER UPDATE: WE MAY HAVE A CONFIRMED PHOTO FROM OUR RADIATION HARDENED CAMERA TRAP! SEE ABOVE.
Ghemotochi
The Ghemotachi are small mouse-sized sprites, seemingly made of wool, found around the village usually in bushes and trees and occasionally hanging from large signs. They are routinely spotted and photographed although most scientists contest this evidence of their existence citing AI imagery as the source of these photos. The local arcane and natural magic practitioner is said to have conjured these into existence while living in the old haberdashery. The locals call these “Ghemotochi” from the word “Ghemotoc”, used to describe the small tangle of fibres that form on fabrics in the Romanian language, the native tongue of their rumoured mother. The Ghemotochi are always friendly and are routinely found approaching picnic areas for crumbs and have even been found nuzzled in people’s hair. As sightings of the Badger have increased, sightings of the Ghemotochi have decreased suggesting a link between them.
