Snarly Yow w/ Sarah Cooper of the American Snallygaster Museum

In 1882, Madeleine Vinton Dahlgren would write a book by the name of South Mountain Magic. It was in this book that the uncanny reality of the mountainous areas of Maryland would be finally documented for the world to learn of. The likes of Witches, Wizards, Haints and creatures such as the Snallygaster and Dwayyo would finally escape the hills and hollers of South Mountain. Among these creatures (and many others) is one canine that was so feared and respected in the 1800’s that the people who called the South Mountain area home, thought of this creature as real as any other in the woods. Snapping in and out of existence, growing to enormous sizes, and snarling at its witnesses, Mrs. Dahlgren simply called it the “dog-fiend” but the locals eventually came to call it the Snarly Yow.
