Snarly Yow & Dogmen with Susan Fair | Beyond Haunted Vermont

Susan Fair is most at home exploring the crossroads of weirdness and history. She lives on the shoulder of South Mountain in Western Maryland. Her writing has appeared in several newspapers, bunches of magazines, and on numerous websites, including the Rumpus.net and cryptomundo.com. A longtime public library worker, Susan's after hours adventures have included a gig at a very strange museum - where she expounded on the virtues of a severed arm and a genuine wizard's spellbook - and hanging out with ghost hunters and monster trackers. She is the author of American Witches: a Broomstick Tour through Four Centuries (Skyhorse, 2016) and Mysteries and Lore of Western Maryland.In the shadows of the quiet mountain towns of Western Maryland, strange creatures are said to lurk in the woods while phantoms wander the foothills. The Hagerstown clock tower is reportedly haunted by the ghost of a young artist killed during the Civil War, while the low summit of South Mountain was once host to a mysterious spell-caster, the Wizard Zittle. Farther west, tales of legendary hunter Meshach Browning echo among the Allegany Mountains while visitors to Deep Creek Lake may feel the chilling presence of monks who never left their former monastery. From the 1909 hoax of the monstrous Snallygaster that terrorized the Middletown Valley to the doglike Dwayyo that was spotted near Frederick in 1965, local historian Susan Fair rounds up the bizarre beasts, odd characters and unsolved mysteries that color the legends and lore of Western Maryland.Support Haunted Vermont:Buy from ⁠https://arcadiapublishing.com/hauntedvermont⁠Use check-out code "HAUNTEDVERMONT" for 20% off your entire order.
