Sandy Huff Hollow

West Virginia · USA · Road

Sandy Huff Hollow at Iaeger, West Virginia produces several kinds of report, and one of them stands apart from everything else in this archive.

Hunters and riders in the hollow describe an extremely large animal, doglike, which they are consistent about and which none of them can match to anything native.

Chickens, cats and dogs disappear from the houses along the road.

West Virginia has a long tradition of this kind of account, and the state's most famous case, at Point Pleasant, drew national attention in the 1960s. The southern coalfields have their own versions and they are told seriously.

The rational explanations are real ones. Black bears are numerous here, feral dogs form packs, and both take livestock. A large dog seen at dusk in a wooded hollow can look like a great deal.

The hollow is a rural road and the land alongside it is private.
