Dark crypt black and white7/6/2023 The NCS Case Files are not creepypasta stories. I won’t do that here because I don’t want the confusion. However, several individuals have had alleged encounters with strange humanoid creatures and used the name to describe what they saw. Some people have equated such creatures with “The Rake,” a cryptid that may or may not have had its beginnings as a creepypata story.Every time I hear of these “crawler” encounters, I am reminded of those “clickity click” cave monsters from the movie “ The Descent.”.It would be difficult to imagine a population of humanoid troglodyte “ghouls” living in the caves in and around Effingham. However, the caves are not of the robust cavern systems one might see in areas like Missouri or the Smoky Mountains. Effingham county does have its share of hills, outcroppings and caves. Although the area around Effingham, Illinois is surrounded by agricultual development, it does have a unique topography that is incongruent with the normal landscape of central Illinois (which would be flat land with forests limited to river basins and lakes).There is a forum on Reddit called r/crawlersightings where individuals post encounters and articles involving encounters with these types of creatures.It’s an anomaly of a sighting if indeed it was observed as reported. It’s always difficult to classify these reports sometimes, but we can only speculate if the thing witnessed in Effingham is of a cryptozoological, paranormal or supernatural nature.Although in some of these cases, the “creature” may indeed turn out to be a human with an unfortunate disease as discussed in a previous case file. If there is something out there of this nature, it’s hard telling what it is. The modern term “ghoul” may be more romanticized than anything, but there remains the witness accounts of something humanoid crawling about the ground at night with pale or grey skin.The creature also preys on young children, drinks blood, steals coins, and eats the dead, then taking the form of the person most recently eaten.” ~ Wikipedia It lures unwary people into the desert wastes or abandoned places to slay and devour them. The Arabian depiction of the creature is disturbing enough: “Some state that a ghoul is also a desert-dwelling, shapeshifting demon that can assume the guise of an animal, especially a hyena. The term “ghoul” was not introduced into the human language until 1786, prior to this it was mainly a creature of Arabic folklore described as a creature that resides in graveyards and feasts on the remains of the dead.Although I should not, I tend to give the more brief and “boring” accounts a little more credence. Some of these stories stem from fictional accounts from forums like the one that introduced the world to the “ Slenderman.” However, there have been sightings of pale, elongated, crawling or crouching humanoid creatures that didn’t have some elaborate backstory to the encounter.
