So, what is Albatwitch Day? And what is an “Albatwitch”? Well, to start, an Albatwitch is similar to Bigfoot, just miniature. It is local to areas around the Susquehanna River, more specifically the Columbia area. It is generally 4 feet tall but can be taller. The Albatwitch likes to hide in the trees. Its unique name is very close to apple-snitch, which it gets from a habit it possesses: stealing apples. The Albatwitch will steal apples from unsuspecting picnickers, eat the apples, and then throw the apples at them from the trees, where they reside. Some people living around Chickies Rock have reported strange noises and sightings. There were many reports of the Albatwitch from the late 19th century, and some legends will say that it was driven to extinction then too. But some of us know better. The Albatwitch was even once reported to be hostile, when it pinned a young boy against a tree, only to let him go when the boy’s brother saw and screamed. Albatwitch Day is on October 13th. There is an actual Albatwitch Day festival, which this year happened on October 5. It occurs at Columbia Crossings and lasts from 11 am to 4 pm. This year’s Albatwitch Day festival was the eleventh annual festival since it started. So, to summarize, the Albatwitch is a miniature Bigfoot that is native to Columbia and Chickies Rock. It likes throwing apples at people, and there have been strange reports and sightings of it. Once it was even reported to be dangerous. Otherwise, it is an interesting story to look into, especially if you like Bigfoot and similar creatures.
