Episode 217: Deadly Currents
Lore
The Power of Folklore
In 1746, a 12-year-old boy was killed by an amphibious creature while fishing in the Menongahela River. A young man at Fort Harmer near Marietta, Ohio witnessed something so traumatic that he had to write to his parents about it. The first story we have on record comes to us from May of 1983 and is important because it shows that the monster and the folklore surrounding it has managed to hold on all these centuries later.
