The area now known as West Virginia has always been steeped in mystery. From the Native Americans to the European settlers, stories of strange creatures have been passed down from one generation to the next.

As time has moved on, the stories have become actual sightings, and the creatures themselves have become even more bizarre and fantastical.

It is for that very reason we offer this travel guide. Featuring eleven cryptid creatures, this collection is full of rich, informative text and eye-catching illustrations. It is sure to be an essential reference for the young and old alike. And if nothing else, it will be a startling reminder of just what you might encounter while traversing the Mountain State!
