This adorably pathetic cryptid is native to the Hemlock forests of northern Pennsylvania. Reports of this loose-skinned little creature began surfacing during the late 19th century at the height of PA’s timber industry. It is one of the many creatures of lumberjack mythology.
The Squonk has loose-fitting, wart-covered skin, and it is said to be ashamed of its appearance. Because of this, it frequently hides from sight, and can dissolve into a pool of tears and bubbles to evade capture. It can often be heard crying in the woods. The first written account of a Squonk came in a 1910 William J. Cox book on creatures of lumberjack mythology. The Squonk’s “official” Latin name is Lacrimacorpus dissolvens.
