Squonk (American)

The squonk started as lumberjack folklore in the early 1900 and first appear in William Thomas Cox’s 1910 book, Fearsome Creatures of the Lumberwoods. Squonks are thought to have appeared in the hemlock forests of Pennsylvania during this time because it was the height of the state’s timber and hunting industry.

The legend holds that the creatures skin is ill-fitting, being covered with warts and that, because it is ashamed of its appearance, it hides from plain sight, and spends most of its time weeping. Hunters who have tried catching squonks have found out the creature is capable of dissolving completely into a pool of tears and bubbles when cornered.
