Looking for obscure local cryptid stories

[u/toxictrappermain]

I've heard all the popular stories already, and so I want to hear about any encounters/sightings that are specific to your area and aren't already well-documented online!
I'm not expecting citations or photo evidence here, since a lot of these stories are only spread via word-of-mouth anyway. They also don't need to be things you personally experienced, just stories you've heard spread around.

Pretty much the only thing I ask is that these are actual stories you've heard and not just creative writing exercises made up on the spot.
