The “bird-man” tradition in Nigerian online encounter reports

Record summary

AI-recalled discovery lead; source quality 5 and corroboration 0. Nigerian social-media and paranormal discussions have used bird-man or winged-person language for frightening nocturnal encounters. The material may matter comparatively because it shows how global cryptid templates interact with local spirit concepts, urban rumor and religious interpretation. It is too diffuse to count as one case without identifying a specific dated post, witness and location. Researchers should preserve original language and distinguish a literal bird-like animal from a masquerade, apparition, dream, assault narrative or imported internet motif.
