The Albatwitch is short and hairy. Naturally, I am having a lot of fun making this guy hirsute!

Just got back from Albatwitch Day - the festival celebrating our local cryptid, the Albatwitch! Started off by touring the Oddities Market which is located in a cemetery… yep, in a cemetery. It’s weird but also kinda rad.

Today I'm celebrating my local cryptid, the Albatwitch, or apple snitch. It has a special interest in the Smokehouse apple, a variety from Lancaster county.

Sadly no. Just the Albatwitch promo, which is like a small Bigfoot. Krampus teaming up with the witches would be funny though.

Went to the Albatwitch festival in Pennsylvania. New location. Parking was chaotic. Lectures were in a tiny area next to music playing. Bad planning. It used to be much better.

No movies tonight but I am going to a lecture on Pennsylvania legends and folklore.

Been boning up on my squonk and albatwitch lore!

Then headed over to the festival proper held on the banks of the Susquehanna River where the Albatwitch is known to prowl looking to snatch apples and throw them at picnickers.
