Episode 38: Albatwitch: What Thieves Around Comes Around - Pennsylvania Dutch Folklore

Episode 38: Albatwitch: What Thieves Around Comes Around - Pennsylvania Dutch Folklore

On the wooded bluffs above the Susquehanna river, where the pale face of Chickies Rock rises two hundred feet over the slow, broad river, you can hear the quiet rustle of a creature moving through the canopy. A creature that is equal parts local prank, modern cryptid, and small-town pride. It’s called the Albatwitch, and if you’ve never heard of it, you are not alone. In this episode, we walk through the mystery of Pennsylvania’s “Little Bigfoot”.
