This is a living pilgrimage site where myth, storytelling, and community converge.

​

The Cryptid Shrine began as a vision for a final monument, but evolved into something far greater. It is a destination where cryptids, craft beer, and seekers of strange legends intersect. At its center stands a bronze Chupacabra statue, designed not only as sculpture but as a sacred vessel for ritual.

​

The Shrine is an interactive space. Visitors approach not as tourists, but as pilgrims contributing intention, memory, and story. It is a quiet, reverent place that harmonizes with its surroundings, offering reflection, wonder, and a connection between fiction and reality.

​

A custom granite base features plaques with QR codes that unlock digital lore including videos, audio archives, personal messages, and cryptid history. Nearby seating encourages reading and contemplation. The Shrine holds no amplified sound and no public spectacle. It exists for those who seek it.

The Statue

​

A bronze Chupacabra pitcher forms the heart of the Shrine.
Its right hand presents the ceremonial vessel for the Sacred Pour.
Its left hand holds an empty pint glass, symbolic and unfilled until the annual ritual.

Twenty-four hours before the Sacred Pour, the statue’s eyes softly illuminate, signaling the coming ceremony. When the ritual ends, the statue returns to stillness.

​

The Location

​

The Shrine’s coordinates remain hidden.
Its location is revealed only to those who hold a Pilgrim Coin.

This ensures the Shrine is not a tourist attraction but a meaningful pilgrimage.
The journey is part of the mystery.
To seek it is to become part of the story.
