Cryptozoology

I went to a friends house in the Bridgeport area to sight in my new rifle. He began to tell me a story of a strange animal that was killed on this farm by the man who owned it before his death. The farmer was an avid coon hunter and...

"Mothman" is perhaps one of the strangest creatures to ever grace the annals of weirdness in West Virginia, or even in all of America for that matter. Even though this mysterious and unsolved case has nothing to do with ghosts... it would be remiss of me not to include...

On or about November 23rd the year I cannot remember. My cousin and I were at a deer camp in Webster County on Cranberry ridge, we were well off the main roads probably 5 miles into the mountains where a 4X4 is needed to go to the camp. Well...

I've had two encounters with The White Beast. Both occurred around or near my best friend's house in New Cumberland, West Virginia. I used to spend more time there than at my own home. His dad owned about three acres of land, but only about three-quarters of an acre...

It all really started in the summer of 2001 for our family. There was an earlier account in the late 70's, but I will leave that to the person who had that encounter to personally submit it himself. Our family moved to this farm in 1991. For ten years,...

The events took place in Dunbar, WV. I live in a 1930s home on a hill with the wooded area beyond the property, across the street a cemetery. I've seen deer pass by a lot and a coyote or two but nothing like this. Day One 7/21/18: Around 11:30 PM I encountered...

I've not encountered any of the strange beasts I discuss herein, but I think their legends warrant further investigation. Beyond the realm of ghosts and outside the classification of man-apes, encounters with strange creatures have been reported across the Mountain State. These bear or dog-like creatures seem to belong to...

This happened to me personally sometime during the summer of 2006, possibly 2007, and up until reading a few stories of Bigfoot encounters on here never realized how lucky I might have been. This takes place in a relatively secluded section of Wetzel County. I had recently lost my vehicle...

While driving home one night in Glen Jean, WV, I noticed two shiny eyes in my headlights on the side of the road. As I approached closer, my headlights hit what I can only describe as a black fur covered ape-like animal. It was crouched over on the side...

One night, about 8:00 pm, my boyfriend and I had to run to the store to get something for his mom. We were on our way back, up near Pumpkintown, when we saw a car stopped dead in the road. We thought maybe a deer had ran out in...

My cousin lives on the out-skirts of Morgantown on a place we call Crown Hill. It's near Rivesville. Well, my cousin and I had a fight at 1:30 AM on 7/23/11. I walk outside to take a breather. In front of me was a large hill with a few...

Every night from 12:00 till 2:00 I take a relaxing walk to the cemetery to walk 40 laps for exercise but on 6-24-03 at 1:45 am at the Fort Ashby Cemetery. I almost bit and swallowed my tongue when I heard these screams coming from in the woods, it sounded...
