Maybe owl was covered in some sort of substance? Especially considering that substance may make owl's feather somewhat reflective and, since owl's feathers are not water-repellent, so they can became wet and sticky, so wings may be not look like wings but more like a hands or something. Plus substance may affect owl's behavior.
Every other state: 😱 Alaska Hawaii & Puerto Rico: 🥲
You did not mention matronymic a named derived from a female ancestor.

10:25 he called them a phrase which meant the people of God, he knew they weren't from Indianapolis or whatever it was called back then.
Theyre literally just like us. Just people living and doing dumb shit
I am taken back that you've never mentioned cellphone cameras.
I don't buy any of it. This story is akin to Sasquatch, Loch Ness Monster with no Semi Quality photos either in spite of most everyone having a cellphone.
Devil'' Footprintswere NEVER PR0VEN. To be a perfectly straight line. In fact. There are drawings published in newspapers ( one is shown above, where it is clear they did deviate from a straight line. There are many newspaper stories that discounted this. It is credibly believed that it is an example of mass hysteria, and there was NO COMPREHENSIVE, EXPERT examination of the alleged foot prints.
I FUCKING MISREAD THE TITLE AS "Could you be in a medieval stomach?" 😭 also that kingdom would become hell and misery with a hint of depression and a dash of famine if i was in monarch
The guy that left the graffiti talking about the low crappy quality of the wall he was writing on and it’s been there 3000 years now haha
It still baffles me that people believe the myth that Columbus had no idea he was not in India. Columbus and his contemporaries had advanced maps, a familiarity with the world’s oceans, all spoke various languages, and studied all of the ancient civilizations in history… but somehow he and his crew were too dumb to realize they weren’t in India? The truth is he wanted to reach India, but realized right away that he was nowhere near it once he landed in the New World. He had told investors that had poured money into his voyages that he’d reach India and bring back gold, not spices. Upon realizing he hadn’t reached Asia, he had to fool his investors into believing his voyage was successful. This is where the myth of him thinking he was in India all along comes from. Also, it should be noted that Columbus himself never actually set foot in mainland North America. He first arrived in the Bahamas then travelled around other parts of the Caribbean. The fact that most don’t know this should tell you everything you need to know.
The Mothman may look scary, but I think it’s easily my favorite cryptid, as the harbinger of impending doom I always understood it to be a very gentle being, appearing as a silent agent of warning, rather than posing any danger itself. Kind of like cryptid Batman without the fighting. I think that’s cool.
Can you please do entire video about Albania 🇦🇱?
Whole history from ancient times to modern times
Imagine your boat getting seized just for Morocco to be like “Bro, come trade with me” 😂

John Adams waking up in heaven: ives- wait where am i? Thomas: oh...
15:05 whats with offering these weird "scientific expert" explanations in every cryptid video. "scientists say it was most likely a barn owl" "it could have been an escaped slow loris" i find these end of story add ons to be extremely annoying and insulting to the eyewitnesses. its like telling someone who soent their entire lives in the wilderness the sasquatch they saw was "most likely a bear" "its so hard to tell size from far away" 😂😂 🤷🏻♂️
