Cryptid Facts & Story Notes
Erick took us on a history of the unhappy Squonk’s cryptid origins including written accounts dating back to 1910 by William T. Cox’s “Fearsome Creatures of the Lumberwoods: With a Few Desert and Mountain Beasts”. A unique book we would love to get our hands on!
Guess Who
Whom will be featured in our next cryptid & cocktail episode following the squonk? Solve Chelsea’s riddle to figure it out before the next cryptid episode on September 1st!
Some may say its red eyes are its’ frightening feature,
Yet short claws, and maybe three legs (?) also make this creature.
This cryptid makes it’s home in a village of Illinois,
Theories for its origins are plenty to enjoy.
Last Call
If you came across a squonk, would you let them know you see them or leave them be?
