Glawackus Corpse Found in Hartford

The Glawackus has always been one of the great Connecticut suburban legends. What is a Glawackus? The Glawackus was a mysterious that roamed the Glastonbury countryside attacking livestock, house pets and radio personality Bob Steele. Glawackus-mania swept Connecticut in 1939 and died down after World War II. While a Glawackus was never captured, the beast was described as a fierce combination of a dog, a cat and a bear.

Yesterday, an intrepid Sad City Hartford reader discovered a Glawackus corpse in SoDo. No further information has been provided, but hopefully other Sad City Hartford readers can speculate and spread rumors and this thing can become our fair city's version of the Montauk Monster.
