The Legend of the Squonk _ _The Saddest Cryptid in the Woods_

from PARANORMAL 411 · host PARANORMAL 411

Some monsters terrorize villages. Some stalk the night. The Squonk mostly… cries. This strange little creature comes from the folklore of Pennsylvania’s hemlock forests and was first written down in the early 1900s. Unlike Bigfoot or Mothman, the Squonk isn’t powerful or mysterious. Its entire legend revolves around one tragic idea: it is so ugly that it spends its life weeping about it. Yes. The cryptid world contains a creature with crushing self-esteem issues.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/paranormal-411--4218639/support.
