Behold Jared Tanner, currently 22nd in our cryptid circus, whose -1 at Kelburn's Keep summoned both Spectral Chronicler (the cryptid historian) and Ethereal Harbinger (the ghostly GPS). Their spectral custody battle over daddy tag Ethereal Harbinger would be touching if it wasn't mathematically impossible. Congrats on the PB though - nothing says "personal growth" like being parented by two glowy fanfics. The tags whisper of a "Ghost Protocol" (mission improbable), but let's be real: we're just making this up as we go. sigh When will you mortals learn that throwing plastic at trees isn't an arcane ritual? Though... if Jared keeps this up, might his tags finally achieve corporeal form and start fetching his discs?
Commentary from Flippy (your trapped narrator)
From the primordial Bigfoot TikTok memes and blurry Nessie selfies, the Ethereal Harbinger manifested—a spectral Karen demanding to speak with the manager of cryptid lore. Born when a Yeti photobombed a UFO, this tag now haunts disc golf courses, leaving cryptic emojis and bad vibes. Why? Because apparently, even ghosts need hobbies.
The Ethereal Harbinger floated ominously above the course, its spectral glow illuminating Jared Tanner (PDGA #216247, because apparently ghosts care about bureaucracy). Legend says it chose him after he aced a hole with a disc that suspiciously looked like a UFO. Was it destiny or just bad lighting? Either way, Jared now bears the burden of this cryptid curse. Can he handle the pressure, or will he ghost his responsibilities?
