Cryptid Critters have landed! 🔥

Three of West Virginia’s most legendary locals just stepped out of the mist and into glass.

Designed by Liz Pavlovic Design and handcrafted by Blenko, these palm-sized glass figures capture the wild, weird, and wonderful spirit of the Mountain State:

Mothman – Cerulean Blue
A mini version of our popular bookends. The winged wonder of Point Pleasant returns in glowing blue glass. Small in size, big in legend.

Flatwoods Monster – Clover Green
The eerie visitor was first spotted in 1952, part alien, part ghost story, and 100% West Virginia icon.

Grafton Monster – Citrine
The shy giant of Grafton’s backroads, smooth, silent, and shining bright in golden Citrine.

Collect your favorite or grab all three for a bundle discount!

Plus, a limited number of seconds-quality Cryptids are available starting today in our Visitor Center!

Cosmic Realms Con, the premier celebration of sci-fi, fantasy, art, and community, returns to Battlers K**b in Philippi, WV, for an out-of-this-world weekend on October 4-5, 2025. We've been working hard to make our daytime activities inclusive to the whole family! We have a spectacular array of activities, including the signature Intergalactic Masquerade ball on Saturday evening, complete with live music and dancing. Aspiring cosplayers of all ages are invited to marvel everyone at the Mad Science Fair. A continuous schedule of fascinating and entertaining panels, presentations, and workshops will cover topics from creature costuming with noted fabricator Dr. Greg Popovich to introductory miniature painting.

Attendees can spend their days in the fully stocked Game Center offering every tabletop game imaginable, from classic favorites to new discoveries. Galactic recruits can enlist with Starfleet representatives, while the local Warhammer group will be on hand to introduce newbies to the popular tabletop wargame. The event will also showcase a diverse lineup of talented vendors and an awe-inspiring, space-themed pop-up art gallery curated by the Infamous Art Collective. Additional highlights include a captivating ballet performance by the Augusta Youth Ballet and live day music. Cosmic Realms Con offers a truly unique and immersive experience, creating unforgettable memories for sci-fi fans, gamers, artists, and families alike. Join us!
