Cryptozoology

"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...

Yes, my name is Ronnie Knight of Maidsville WV. Actually Ronnie Knight is the alias I'm using. But to the point I live near some woods you see. These woods seem 'friendly' enough. Despite that there are fallen trees. Many vines and thorns and don't get me started on what...

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...

In the early morning hours of December 1st, 1997, I was hunting with my son when I heard some weird sounds coming from a nearby gully. The sounds observed were similar to that of a woman screaming, followed by a strange sort of chatter, as if someone were playing...

My dad told me a story about a critter his grandfather "Doc" Carpenter encountered once while hunting in the woods surrounding Erbacon, WV which is in Webster County. He said he was stalking either turkey or deer when he realized he was being stalked by a creature that resembled...

After fighting in World War II, my father returned to his family's farm located just outside the town of Richwood in Nicholas County, near the Monongahela National Forest. What he encountered one night on the isolated farm terrified him more than anything he had witnessed when liberating prison camps...

The following takes place near Parsons, WV. Late one night, my husband and I, were on our way home from my parent's house. They live out in the country on an old back road on a stretch of road called, Slip Hill. It is very dark there at night. We were...

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...
