Wishing you a merry Christmas and a happy New Year from ABC!
What better than to mention a seasonal being? Below are a depiction of the Callicantzari by James Lewicki for the December 19, 1955 issue of LIFE Magazine… and a correction sent by Nicholas R. of New Haven, CT in the January 9, 1956 issue.

Merry Christmas and a Happy and Healthy new year to you too (I’m so glad you’re alright, I know you live in a “rough neighbourhood” and I was worried about you)

It’s a web series by anthropologist Emily Zarka exploring the cultural & historical context of monsters from mythology, literature, cryptozoology & pop culture; the kallikantzaros was featured earlier this month. https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL_lsQEz7yLOpq278N-4I72cTXlRE1kVUN&si=5fb9vY0o7YZvaXIS

I’ve only just come across this blog within the last month or two, but I’m an avid monstrologist and I have to say this blog—especially with its art and sources—has been a boon to a personal project I’ve been working on. I’m so glad to see you haven’t left this behind. All the best for your adventures in the new year!

Hello abc I hope your having a good new year I have a couple questions if that’s okay
1 are you okay with your art and info being used
2 are all of these creatures real cryptids?
I know that most likely you have already said this somewhere on the website on one of these posts but I just wanna check (sorry if these came off as annoying)

Hello,
1) You may not use my art or text. You may use my website as a source of information, but cite it if you do so.
2) All my sources are provided on each entry so you can check those out.
Hope this helps 🙂
