The Legendary West Virginia Abbagoochie!

Costa Rican natives call Abbagoochies "dry land piranhas" because of their insatiable appetites. They are only about three feet long and weigh an average of 35 pounds as adults. But they are all teeth and muscle and can consume many times their own weight in a days' feeding.
The elusive part of their makeup is rather than risk capture by human beings; Abbagoochies, if cornered, will spin and twirl like a Tasmanian Devil and consume themselves- like poof, they're gone! Wildlife authorities in Pennsylvania, British Columbia, Canada, as well as West Virginia, have studied these creature's habits since 2001 and believe these mammals are highly intelligent and willing to sacrifice themselves in order to protect a secret society that was heretofore unknown to exist in Mammalia.
They were brought into W.Va. by wildlife officials in order to eradicate nuisance animals such as coyotes, mountain lions, rattlesnakes, lady bugs, locusts and a small wolf population.
Rumors exist, but denied by wildlife personnel, that the DNR traded whitetail deer and turkey to western states for the coyotes, mountain lions and wolves. Later, they regretted these trades because the transplanted animals were decimating farmer's livestock to the point of oblivion and bankruptcy. Added to the fact was the WVDNR was paying out tens of thousands of dollars to farmer's official claims of destroyed livestock.
Thus, the introduction of the Abbagoochie into W.Va's wilds and the secrecy behind same.
But, the best laid plans of man and Abbagoochies oft goes astray. Since their placement in 1999, the smallish monsters have consumed everything they were brought in to destroy- but also thrive on livestock and family pets. A Field & Stream editor asked WVDNR game biologist, Jim Evans, if the Abbagoochies attacked humans. Evans replied,"People are disappearing. Draw your own conclusion."
I invite readers to ask questions or add information about the Abbagoochie.

Several Local, State and Federal agencies are secretly carrying on operations to eradicate these creatures, mainly in West Virginia, as we speak. These agencies have continued to deny their existence in West Virginia, as to acknowledge them would be to uncover a HUGE DNR and Government blunder.

On Thanksgiving Day 2008, my father reveals to me what he really knows about these ferocious creatures, despite being sworn to secrecy by State and Federal Officials in a May 15, 2008 mandatory meeting held by these same government personnel.

This disclosure puts me in a position I don't initially want to be in. My torment, anguish and confusion is intense. It is a struggle between perceived reality and factual falsehoods.

Join me as I set out on this journey to validate or discount the information which my father so painstakingly revealed. This pursuit of the truth puts me in several mind-twisting encounters with both civilian and government personnel, before the truth is known. It becomes a factual reality.

Significant increase in Missing Person reports from several West Virginia counties catch the attention of the West Virginia State Police, who in turn contact the FBI. The FBI soon assigns a small Task Force, disguised as fishermen and hunters, to find, kill and extinguish the remaining Abbagoochies.

This Task Force repeatedly comes up empty handed and now the government is becoming increasingly agitated and worried about the looming potential of mass hysteria. The FBI turn this Abbagoochie threat over to the Department of Homeland Security in 2004, who heighten the intensity of this hunt.

In the light of circumstantial happenstance and inside maneuvers, follow along as my daughter and I dedicate our lives to the eradication of the Abbagoochies...
