In the early days, long before the arrival of White Settlers to the Pittsburgh area, there was a considerable amount of discussion among the various Indian tribes about a terrifying creature they called β€˜The Monongy.’ This creature lived in the murky depths of the Monongahela River. According to historical records left by British soldiers of the French and Indian War, specifically in the Pittsburgh region, they mention a terrifying monster half man, half fish; he comes out of the river at night, lurking through the wooded areas and feeding on human flesh. The Native Americans in this region rebuked the soldiers of any fishing activities done at night.Β 

It is my understanding that each year many researchers of the Paranormal and Bigfoot come to the Pittsburgh area and Monongahela River in search of this mystical fascination. Does it exist? Probably not, but the myth and endeavor continue to intrigue the likes of all folks who read and study folklore, mythology and the supernatural.Β 

As the years went by, the popularity of this β€˜gill-man’ somewhat increased along with new stories that were told. During the 1930’s through the 1950’s, it was reported through the discussions of various folklore in the region that this creature was claimed to have been sighted. In fact, it acquired so much attention, the Pittsburgh Police conducted their own investigation on the matter. (No records have ever been found concerning such an investigation.) The investigation turned into nothing. The name itself, β€˜Monongy,’ has not convicted my evidence of Native Americans in the Pittsburgh area of having ever facilitated such a term in their language. I am not aware of any such evidence. However, the story does not seem to end on this note.Β 

A local columnist in Johnstown, Pennsylvania, named Bill Eggert wrote an article about the elusive creature; in it, he mentions that in 2003, a fishing boat spotted β€˜The Monongy’ and even captured it with a camera. For a time, the photos circulated the internet until they were mysteriously removed; no one has seen them since. Conspiracy theorists have continued to hold their ground that the United States Government removed all photos and evidence of the existence of this creature. (If someone knows more about these photos, please contact me through this website or my Social Media links.)Β 

Author and Cryptologist Denver Michaels created a video on his YouTube Channel that talks about the highly unlikely existence of such a creature. Also, famous Pennsylvania UFO and Bigfoot blogger, Stan Gordon, has written pieces that are eerily like the description of β€˜The Monongy.’

It is my understanding that each year many researchers of the Paranormal and Bigfoot come to the Pittsburgh area and Monongahela River in search of this mystical fascination. Does it exist? Probably not, but the myth and endeavor continue to intrigue the likes of all folks who read and study folklore, mythology and the supernatural.Β
