The Clarksburg Mermaid
Just recently, Les of WV Cryptids and Strange Encounters, posted a really strange vintage newspaper article from Clarksburg, WV. The article, which comes from the August 15, 1870 edition of the Wheeling Daily Intelligencer. As I’m reading it, I realize it sounds vaguely familiar—and sure enough, I had the same article saved to my laptop. I took that as a sign that it’s time to finally add it to the blog for posterity! Seriously, this is a really strange one; a MERMAID in Clarksburg, West Virginia??? I really wish there were more information included in this article, pinpointing where this creature was seen. I assume the river in question is the West Fork River…but where exactly does the mermaid (or milkmaid) hang out?
