Comments on: Giant Horned Snake http://www.cryptomundo.com/cryptozoo-news/ghs/ for Bigfoot, Lake Monsters, Sea Serpents and More Wed, 22 May 2013 21:26:22 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.5.1 By: Cernovog http://www.cryptomundo.com/cryptozoo-news/ghs/comment-page-1/#comment-71034 Cernovog Tue, 05 Jul 2011 21:49:21 +0000 http://www.cryptomundo.com/?p=43835#comment-71034 This sighting is not unique. The description sounds exactly like a creature described the Anishinabe (or Ojibwa or Chippewa) sacred stories named Missekenebeck. He is one of the “manedog”, a group of supernatural beings responsible for punishing people who break rules or taboos. Missekenebeck in particular was known for stealing children who misbehaved or wandered away from their parents. He appears as a giant serpent with deer antlers.

Speaking of cultural taboos, I should mention that you’re not supposed to mention his name out loud or you may attract his attention. The Anishinabe wait until the winter time when the spirits are sleeping to tell stories about him.

I think we can safely say this was not an escaped exotic pet. The horns have me stumped. I’ve personally seen some Rattlers and Black snakes (rat snakes) around here that are effing large and I imagine back then when the environment was healthier they grew much larger. (also not as many crazed humans freaking out and killing them, realizing they eat vermin like mice and voles) And as far as I know horned vipers tend to like drier environments, certainly not swamps.
