The Squonk: Pennsylvania's Weeping Beast
From American Horror Nights · 9:29
Show by American Horror Nights
In the hemlock forests of northern Pennsylvania lives the Squonk, a creature so ashamed of its own ugliness that it hides in the dark and weeps all day, leaving a trail of tears wherever it goes. First recorded in nineteen ten, the sad beast is said to dissolve into a pool of tears if it is ever caught. The Squonk is the only monster in American folklore that is a victim of itself.
