I find it interesting when tales like these persist. There's a few I've been reading and writing about in Michigan that seem to be made up, yet the legends persist. I wonder what it is about those tales that endure despite ultimately being fiction.
Nice work. It's frustrating to see people taking anecdotes that get repeated at face value. Cryptozoology lit has a serious copy-paste problem, the scholarship is mostly awful! I expected this to end up as a Sheepsquatch story.
It's nearly impossible to keep hard lines around cryptid descriptions. Because they are never found, they can't be confidently categorized.
This was the first of your posts that I’ve read but it won’t be the last. Really enjoyed this one.

Thanks Sharon! Yeah, the amount of times I run into straight copy and paste articles in my research is disheartening.
