Cryptozoology

My Uncle Tony told me this story right before I left for basic training in 2008. In Genoa, West Virginia in Wayne County; my family owns a small farm. We only have a single cabin on the grounds, and it's used for recreational purposes only. I've grown up hunting...

This is the same White Beast that others have talked. It screams like a woman and has been known to hurt people. This creature will mostly warn you when there is going to be a death, but sometimes I think it gets angry with people! One incident where this...

It was mid-January in Four States, West Virginia and I was walking through the woods. I heard something rustling in the brush about 100 yards away. I walked up a right-of-way to see what it was. I wish I‘d stayed home. As I topped the right-of-way, what appeared to be...

Me and my friend was chopping down a bunch of woods by our house. We found a foot print on the ground I yelled "come over here Dylan" and he looked down and saw it. "What was it", he asked. "I don't know". We ran from the woods, because...

Every Christmas my mom lets me throw a Christmas party. Most of the time it's just me and 4 of my best friends having a sleepover and doing what ever comes to mind. This particular year we were making hot coco then going outside to play in the snow....

One night three of my friends and I went seeking adventure in some creek beds in South Charleston. The friends I went with had told numerous stories involving one particular section of woodland in the area, all of which involved sightings of similar creatures. We arrived at the area, which...

I had walked down to the game room about five minutes below my house (which is on a hill up against a mountain). Around 11-11:30pm, as I started walking back home, I heard some kind of a loud noise like a woman screaming. I spotted something on the mountain...

My name is Samantha and I live in Charleston WV. My story is about my friend Terrianna and me and the strange things we have seen. I have 2 dogs and they are very protective over my family and me and they let us know when something is wrong. Well, one...

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...

A few years ago two friends and I were returning from a trip to Huntington, WV and decided to drive back to our home in Charleston by going through Point Pleasant. About an hour into our trip it started snowing pretty heavily, so I slowed down to be careful...

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...

I was traveling early one morning in January, in snowy conditions, when I spotted a large, upright, dark-colored creature just off Rt.55. Very tall, fuzzy looking, with primate features, similar to an ape. The creature stepped into the road, causing me to swerve to avoid colliding with the beast....
