Psaiya’hus

Cryptoids

DESCRIPTION

“Psaiya’hus, “horned snake.” This promontory was considered to be the abode of one of these monsters. They were regarded with supernatural dread. They take the form of an enormous snake, having, according to some accounts, the antlers and forelegs of a deer. At the base of this promontory is a big reddish boulder weighing half a ton or more. It was formerly believed that anyone looking at this boulder would become tied into a knot. The boulder itself was believed to change its form. Certain people had a boulder for a supernatural helper.”   Source: https://www.jstor.org/stable/208735
