Ep. 155 The White Thing and Sheepsquatch

About this episode

The episode explores the cryptids known as The White Thing and Sheepsquatch in West Virginia.

Welcome to Wild and Wonderful West Virginia, where we have cryptids called The White Thing and Sheepsquatch! One is a large, dog-like creature with filthy white, wooly fur and saber-like fangs, while the other is an 8-foot, hairy bipedal creature with a long head that holds a single-point set of horns not dissimilar to those found on a young goat. What’s not to love? Join us as we discuss whether or not everyone is seeing the same entity or if there are two monstrous creatures stalking the Appalachian Mountains.
