The Northwoods Beast: The Hodag

In the 1800s, northern Wisconsin loggers claimed to see a creature with “spikes all the way down the entire length of its body with a fistful of needle-sharp pointed spears at the end of his tail… fangs that would rival a saber tooth tiger and could rip out the belly of the biggest bear.” As Cameron Knoll shows us in this short documentary, the legend of the Hodag still draws in thousands of people from around the country to Rhinelander, Wisconsin.
