Host: The Beaveman

Little is known about the Beaveman prior to 1991 when the first rumored sightings were reported. His movements were tracked from Ft. Benning, GA to Darmstadt, Germany. He then resurfaced at Ft. Bragg, NC. Much like the Mothman of WV, sightings were sporadic from that time until the early 2000’s. Rumors surfaced of a similar individual, but no sightings were truly confirmed until audio evidence emerged in July of 2018 in the form of a comedy podcast known as The Slaptail Squad. It was confirmed that the illusive individual known as the Beaveman truly existed. The Beaveman has been doing mics throughout west Michigan and is the producer and host of Slap Your Tail Comedy. Catch a sighting of him if you can.
