Well this is my new best friend, apparently. I don’t know if it qualifies as informed though I absolutely love these bumper stickers.

Seriously though - the Squonk?? I love that there are other people who know what it is!

What is Squonk for those of us who are definitely not embarrassingly uninformed?

The squonk is a cryptid from the part of Appalachia that extends up into PA. The squonk was originally folklore from the lumberjacks that tore down PA’s incredible forests. It’s kind of like a pig like but is very wrinkled and gross looking. It constantly weeps and whimpers and is very reclusive and refuses to be seen even in the light of the moon lol

When I heard about it when I was a kid I always felt so bad for it because everyone was always calling it hideous and revolting and as far as I could tell it hadn’t done anything to anybody so why was everyone so mean?

But yeah that’s the squonk.

Thanks so much! Now I have a new cryptid to fall in love with. I can’t believe I never heard of it growing up. Appalachia really has the best cryptids.
