From lonely Appalachian back roads to sightings across North America, this week we’re diving into the strange legend of the Devil Monkey. We begin with the famous 1959 Virginia encounters, including the Boyd family and two nurses whose convertible was reportedly attacked, then follow the creature’s trail through decades of eyewitness reports describing a monkey-like beast with a dog-like face, long tail, and aggressive behavior.

We explore the evidence, the theories, and whether these stories point to an escaped exotic primate, mistaken identity, growing folklore, or something that still can’t be explained.

Of course, we’re pairing the topic with Witty Monkey from Victory Brewing Company, making it the perfect beer to crack open while we unravel one of the most unusual cryptid legends you’ve probably never heard of.
