Some Redditors, who are fans of the show and natives of Jackson County, West Virginia, took to the site to discuss the particulars regarding the lore of the Waya Woman. And it turns out that no one really knows anything about the mythical beast.

"Hi. Jackson County native here. This episode is all the rage among my friends and fellow natives right now. The reason being that NO ONE has ever heard this legend before."

"We have absolutely no idea where they conjured this up. Not one single person I've chatted with today has ever heard of this. The big legend in our area is the Mothman but that's one county over in Point Pleasant."

After getting into it in the comments, poindxtrwv pointed out that there's almost zero talk about the Waya Woman online:

"Go ahead, search the internet for any mention of this Waya Woman legend outside of that show. They completely made up this creature for the show."

After a cursory search online, I couldn't produce any results regarding the Mountain Monsters' Waya Woman. No Wikipedia entries, no obscure blogs with firsthand accounts of campers coming into contact with her, nothing.

Reddit user madmc10 who says they're a native of Jackson County as well says they've never heard of ole WW either:

"I’m from Jackson county for 45 years and have never heard of this myth. I’ve asked all my friends and family who live all over the county and none of them have heard of this either."

What do you think this means for the AIMS team's search for Spearfinger and the Waya Woman? Will they come up short because she simply doesn't exist? Or is it such a deeply rooted mystery that they're onto something huge no one else has the scoop on?
