Does Sheepsquatch exist? You be the judge...

Look what I found while procrastinating looking for important stuff on the internet. There is a Sheepsquatch!
Mountain Monsters; Sheepsquatch interpretation

According to the website Cryptid Wiki (http://cryptidz.wikia.com/wiki/Sheepsquatch):

"Sheepsquatch, also known as the "White Thing", is a woolly-haired cryptid reported across numerous counties in West Virginia, predominantly within the southwestern region of the state. The counties with the most sightings are Boone, Kanawha, Putnam, and Mason, with a surge in sightings taking place in Boone County during the mid-1990s.

It is described as being a quadruped about the size of a bear, with entirely white wool-like fur. It has a long and pointed head, similar to a dog but with long, saber-like teeth and a single-point set of horns not dissimilar from those found on a young goat. Its forelimbs end in paw-like hands, similar to those of a raccoon but larger, while its tail is long and hairless like that of an opossum. It is reputed to smell like sulfur, which has been attributed through folklore to the beast being born within the TNT Area in Mason County like one of the Mothman theories, though this is not likely and instead may be a musk scent gland similar to those found in many species in the order Carnivora such as weasels and skunks"


You can head to Cryptid Wiki to get the details about multiple Sheepsquatch sightings starting in 1994. 


Sheepsquatch was also featured on the television series Mountain Monsters (Season 2 ep. 6, May 8, 2014). The show follows the Appalachian Investigators of Mysterious Sightings (AIMS) team as they research and find evidence of unidentified creatures in the Appalachian Mountains. -Wiki

Book Review: Sheepsquatch by I. Ronik

Sheepsquatch
by I. Ronik
Kindle Edition
Published June 9th 2014

by Streetlight Graphics Publishing
In the hills of West Virginia, a legend comes to life...

Becky Gayle always thought her granddaddy's tales about the mythological Sheepsquatch were just that, myth. But one dark and stormy night, she and her soon-to-be-ex boyfriend are caught outside by the beast, and she learns the hard way that all the stories were true.

Duncan's been in love with Becky from afar for years, but thanks to the truth about his nature, he's always been afraid to profess his feelings. When he learns a secret about her boyfriend, he has to step in to save her from the danger she isn't even aware she's in. And in doing so, he risks his heart and his very life.

"Sheepsquatch" is a horror romance parody, featuring shape-shifting, bawdy humor, murder, mayhem, and legendary folklore. A short story coming in around 12,000 words, it's best not taken seriously.


Where to even begin…Let’s begin with the cover and title. Yeah, that’s winning all around. I couldn't resist reviewing this one. But in the end I was kind of let down.

This is supposed to be a parody, but I didn't find any outright humor and poking fun at the romance genre. It was also light on the romance and horror elements. There were parts that I found entertaining, but in the end I guess I just expected more than I got from it. It either needed more gore and romance (sex, cause there wasn't any) or market it as a young adult even middle school story.
