Welcome to Cryptid Quest! A Geo Art for those participating in GeoWoodstock XXI that are looking for a more relaxed and accessible caching experience while in the Mountain State. Appalachia has a rich culture and mythos surrounding the area, no more exemplified by the myriad of "Cryptids" that are rumored to be found nearby. Cryptids are an elusive class of creatures with sometimes supernatural abilities or appearances that, despite best efforts, haven't been proven to exist. Join me as we explore some of the Cryptids that may or may not inhabit the hills of Appalachia!
Grafton Monster
The Grafton Monster is a West Virginia cryptid first reported in the town of Grafton in 1964. Witnesses describe it as a massive, headless creature, standing over 9 feet tall, with smooth, seal-like skin. It is said to emit an unsettling humming sound, leading some to theorize it may be extraterrestrial or an interdimensional being. Others suggest the monster could be a misidentified animal, like a bear with mange. Sightings have been rare but remain a staple of Appalachian lore.
What kind of food do you think Mothman likes? Surf and turf maybe? Or Italian?
