Monsters and Myths of West Virginia

West Virginia has a strong storytelling tradition. Nowhere is that more evident than our wide range of cryptids. You may know the Mothman but he's just the beginning. Grafton and Flatwoods have their monsters too, plus there's the Snarly Yow, the Grinning Man, Sheepsquatch, Bat Boy, and more. Whether you're looking for something whimsical (Flatwoods Monster and Mothman sharing a WV hotdog, anyone?) or would like to take a deeper dive into the myths, legends, and even anatomy of these mystical creatures, The Red Caboose is your home for all things cryptid.
