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!
Sheepsquatch
The Sheepsquatch, or “White Thing,” is a cryptid reported in the forests of West Virginia. It is described as a large, woolly beast resembling a sheep with twisted horns, sharp teeth, and clawed hands. Legends of Sheepsquatch often involve encounters with an aggressive creature that emits a foul stench. Theories about its origins range from supernatural explanations to it being a feral animal or a prank. The Sheepsquatch myth is deeply tied to the rugged Appalachian landscape, with sightings concentrated in the late 20th century.
