Oct 21 LWU SnackChat will explore Appalachian Cryptids

By Duane Bonifer

Creatures that go bump in the night as well as in the woods will be the topic of the next "SnackChat" at Lindsey Wilson University.

English professor Harold Bosstick will help audience members get into the spirit of Halloween when he discusses Appalachian cryptids at 2pmCT on Wednesday, October 21, 2026, in the Thomas D. Clark Reading Room of the Katie Murrell A. Library.

"SnackChat" is free and open to the public, and it will include light snacks and refreshments.

Cryptids are animals or creatures that people believe exist, even if their existence has not been proven or documented by scientists. Some better known cryptids are Bigfoot, who has reported to have wandered into Southcentral Kentucky; the Kentucky Dogman, also known as the Beast of the Land Between the Lakes; and the wicked half-goat, half-man Pope Lick Monster, also known as the Louisville Goatman.

During his October 21 presentation, Bosstick will discuss lesser known cryptids, including the Flatwoods humanoid of West Virginia, the extraterrestrial Hopkinsville goblins of 1955 -- also known as the Kelly Green Men Case -- and the hideous but innocuous squonk of Pennsylvania and the Pocono Mountains.

General Fund and Road Fund receipts for Sept 2026

Frankfort, KY - State Budget Director John Hicks reported today that General Fund receipts grew 11.3 percent in September with revenues of $1.67 billion. Collections for the month exceeded last September's total by $169.3 million. So far this fiscal year (FY27), General Fund revenues have increased 12.8 percent.

The Consensus Forecasting Group (CFG), the body that estimates state revenues, recently updated the official General Fund revenue estimates for FY27 and FY28, which calls for revenue to increase 5.7 percent compared to FY26 receipts. Based on September's official revenue estimate, General Fund revenues must grow 3.6 percent over the remainder of the fiscal year to meet the official estimate. To meet the original budget estimate, revenues would need to decline by 4.6 percent the rest of the year.
