The Oil Pit Squid is a cryptid sighted in Anderson, Indiana. It is described as a bizarre, cepahlopod-like creature that lives in oil.
In 1996, workers clearing a sludge pit at Anderson’s GMC Delphi discovered several grey-red creatures, six to eight inches in length, swimming in the oil. One was caught, but disappeared before it could be thoroughly examined. While some have speculated that the squids could be alien spores, the sighting has widely been dismissed as a hoax.
