#indianabeast

This gentleman wanted to contact a special #spirit that of #theindianabeast to grant him a special message through his trusty #ouija board. "bring me what I need," he murmured to the board. Suddenly ectoplasm began to form and there before him was the face of the Indiana beast, who manifested a #baked woodland cake of succulent twigs and grasses, #mayappl and #bittersweetberries. Tears sprang up in the gentleman's eyes. "Ah," he said, "just like Mama used to make." with that the #hoosier #hero disappeared leaving the cake. #happymemoriesincake #leuchtturm1917sketchbook #mabsdrawlloweenclub #inktober2018 #girlfriendsofhalloween #black ink #gelpens #alvindraftmatic #mabsdraftmatic #almosthalloween🎃 (I am going away for a few days so won't be posting, don't worry sweet friends, I will be back) thanks to @brettmanningart for a lend of her #indianabeast #cryptid https://www.instagram.com/p/BofirkPBMf6/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=18ocaa36hgzex

#TrueStory back in 1979 I am pretty sure I saw the #IndianaBeast through the window of my parents home one snowy night in November. I just had dental surgery and was sleeping downstairs in the living room while the rest of the family snored upstairs. Something from outside and it woke me up. I pulled up my dad's footstool to the window and kneeled on it to look out and there was this huge face looking back at me. I tried to wake up my parents but they were snoring their heads off---so I went back to sleep. In the morning we found that the phone lines were down and when dad looked out it was torn out along the edge of the house and he said all he'd seen were deer tracks 🦌not unusual as we often found deer track just never that close to the house. When @brettmanningart started drawing pictures of him I remembered the curious incident and he's now become my favourite #cryptid #MabsDrawlloweenClub #MabsDrawlloweenClub2019 #MabGravesDrawlloweenClub #MabGravesDrawlloweenClub2019 #Drawlloween #Drawlloween2019 #MabGravesFanClub #MablingsMakeMagic #mablings #MabsDraftmaticMechanicalPencil #leuchttrum1917 #PrismaColorPencils (at Devil's Arrows) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3kBeXKjtZF/?igshid=12dd4pvs878xd
