it depends, i think the most believable cryptids or entities are ones you've seen yourself or have heard a convincing story from somebody you know
from my experience its static entities, after witnessing the presence of one when i was younger i didn't know anything about it besides what i'd seen but it had always stuck with me. it wasn't until around last year that i found out the name of it after giving a description and posting my story on an /x discord. i was then given a link to an article that matched everything i was describing, i did a bit of digging and found some other reports of people experiencing the same thing

i'm more than willing to post my story and the article upon request if anyone is interested

Very interesting. I think quite a few people here would be interested in reading about your experience.

some entities can be seen as works of the collective unconscious, reaching such belief power that it can manifest materially, like a great hyperstition. some examples could be explained by archetypes:
the wild, hairy man? (yeti, beast of gevaudan, werewolf, rape gnome) it has its origin in indo european something something, same as a hero striking a beast with a mythical weapon.
a messiah can also be considered as a manifestation, but that would be hard to walk around.
For me, I believe some weird shit happens in the wood if you believe in it, but I don't know why it's always bad things that manifest (where's my goat girl coming across me on a lonely hike, Jung?)

Probably the jackalope. just think about it, its not that unrealistic to think there could be a species of rabbit that could grow antlers right?

The reason this came to mind is because both my sister and her husband believed that jackalopes were real into their mid 20s.

Anything in the ocean is fair game. So often we find things down there that defy explanation, as a result there could be any number of cryptids down there and it's borderline impossible to discount the possibility of them. My personal favorite ocean-based cryptid is the Ningen, he's great love the idea that he's just roaming the arctic and swimming around.

I also think chupacabra exist and are likely just rabid animals that someone mistook for something else. I don't know if that really fits the bill of "most believable cryptid" because it's believable that it's real, but not necessarily that it's the cryptid people think it is at least in my opinion. I think chupacabra could be some kinda burrowing creature if it is real in the other sense but I think it'd be pretty mundane, less like discovering a cryptid more like discovering a new species of meaner prairie dogs.

alright
this incident happened on my 7th birthday around 12:00pm in the middle of the winter, my dad had asked me to take the dog out for a walk, i did my usual route of walking around the block and in to a cul-de-sac, the weather is nice for the time of year, the sun is out and the air is crisp. i reach the middle of the cul-de-sac, i spot something in the corner of my eye resembling a humanoid figure, very tall, slim dressed in all black, i didn't think anything of it.

however something felt off, i turn around and look again out of curiosity, i couldn't make out a face, features or anything, all i could see was a dark grey blur moving in a circular motion while it's body, arms and legs were swaying very slightly in the breeze. i froze for a moment, panicked and crouched behind a car with the dog. i glanced over from the right side of the car, the figure had remained in the exact same position. i got up and ran with the dog in tow as fast as we could out of the cul-de-sac, my mind was racing blocking out what i had just seen.
what i had witnessed that day has stayed with me after all these years which piqued my interest in the paranromal ever since

linked below is the article mentioned in my previous post as well as reports from other people of have experienced the same

You would find the Fresno Nightcrawlers interesting. They look really similar to the Ningen.

For me its skinwalkers.
The closest person I've heard about coming in contact with them is the guy that gave me driving lessons years ago.
He told me that when he was a kid, he used to go to his aunt's ranch all the time, in the outskirts of the city.
He would wake up in the middle of the night to his aunts rapid footsteps around the house.
One night he woke up and confronted her, and while his aunt was running for the door to the back of the house, my driving instructor said that she had a shotgun on her, and was pointing outside.
When he asked what she was doing, she responded with "Theres wolfs that come here and pick up the sheep like humans and walk away."
Essentially the wolfs came to her ranch, and in a human manner, picked up the livestock.
It should be mentioned that the whole area has the whole "Native American" vibe to it.

shadow people too, those fuckers can turn to human form....so they could be anyone. I actually learned about it pretty recently.

Any sea creature and aliens. Both live in largely unexplored places and could have easily went under our radar.
Possibly skinwalkers as well, if there is paranormal phenomena amongst us then it would likely be able to disguise itself, right?
