Squonk Pin

The Squonk is a crypt that is reputed to live in the forests of northern Pennsylvania in the USA.

'The Squonk is of a very retiring disposition, generally traveling about at twilight and dusk. Because of its misfitting skin, which is covered with warts and moles, it is always unhappy...Hunters who are good at tracking are able to follow a squonk by its tear-stained trail, for the animal weeps constantly. When cornered and escape seems impossible, or when surprised and frightened, it may even dissolve itself in tears.' — William T. Cox, "The Squonk", Fearsome Creatures of the Lumberwoods (1910)

The city of Johnstown celebrates the Squonk at the Squonkapalooza each August.
