A Skeptic's Journey with Cryptids and Folklore
by Bittickm
Want to hear stories of cryptids and folklore from an open-minded skeptic? We will look at some of the lesser-known things that go bump in the night. These brief stories are designed to introduce you to some new tales and maybe revisit a handful of old ones. While a healthy skeptic I do not set out to debunk anyone's point of view, I will offer some possible explanations or alternative theories. Sometimes I might just let the story set there and let you think about it. But mostly it should just be fun or creepy stories.

Big Bat from a Big Boom: Batsquatch
A massive volcanic eruption seems to have release something in the Pacific Northwest. Starting with a sighting by a teenager on a lonely stretch of back country road, the Batsquatch would find its way into the local lore of the PNW and even become the face of an IPA (how Northwest is that).
