As twilight blends into the ancient hemlocks of the Pennsylvania Wilds, you wander off the beaten path... deeper into the mist-shrouded silence. A faint cry pierces the gloom—not wind, not animal, but a guttural weeping that swells like a heartbroken storm.

In the shadows: a wretched, hunched figure tries to hide, skin sagging like forgotten laundry, warts glistening with endless tears.

It senses you... wails in agony... then crumbles, melting into a puddle of pure sorrow that seeps into the earth.

What lurks in those forgotten woods, dissolving in its own despair?

Join Gary and GoldieAnn on the next episode of Within the Mist Podcast, as we explore the legend of America's most pitiful cryptid—the Squonk.
