Hello folks! Welcome to our first official episode of Ohio Valley Cryptid! In this one, we talk about the Beast of Grafton, or the Grafton Monster, a little cryptid that bothered a small town in West Virginia. Recently, it's been a bit more well-known because of the video game Fallout 76, but even then how accurate is its portrayal?
Reese's mic is a little goofy sounding in this one, but don't worry, later episodes this is fixed!
Here are some sources I used while digging up information on this bad boy:
Visionary Living, Inc.. Monsters of West Virginia (p. 14). Stackpole Books. Kindle Edition.

We would LOVE to hear any person al stories, corrections, or anything of the like relating to spooky stuff! It also doesn't have to be local at all.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
