Carpeting the mountains of the Pacific Northwest are dense forests of cedar and fur trees with twisting devil’s club, enormous ferns, and other pine needles filling the forest floor. Hiding among the trees is an elusive cryptid who, like its cousin in West Virginia, is said to be a harbinger of doom- the BATSQUATCH!
Tonight we cover Batsquatch, a funny cryptid with a beer named after it plus other stories from Jen and Christina.
