Mimic Cryptids and Creatures

This week we discuss mimics - creatures that disguise themselves by imitating the voices and appearances of our loved ones. We explore the umbrella term of "mimic" and break down the various cryptids that fall under this category, from the familiar doppelgangers and skinwalkers to the lesser-known but equally disturbing Fleshgait and False Humans.

These entities are said to lurk in forests, particularly around the Appalachian Mountains, using their supernatural abilities to lure unsuspecting victims by perfectly replicating the voices of family members and friends calling out from the darkness.

We also share five creepy encounters from Reddit users who've experienced these deceptive creatures firsthand, including stories from Tennessee cabins, Minneapolis parks, and remote Montana wilderness.

From hearing a sister's voice calling from outside while she sits right next to you, to a boyfriend's doppelganger appearing bedside with unnaturally wide eyes, these accounts are sure to give you some chills!
