The Flatwoods Monster


 

Flatwoods was a sleepy rural town in West Virginia until 12th September 1952, when legends of a strange entity began. Three teenaged boys were out one autumn evening, when they saw an unusual light above a farm. They all ran home and told people. Many others including children and a dog, went out to look for the mysterious light above the farm. They soon got a better look at it! 

The light appeared to look like a monstrous figure that was 10ft tall with glowing eyes. It had claws at the end of its arms, and seemed to be wearing armour and a skirt. It wore a hood "shaped like the ace of spades". The creature made a hissing sound and then charged towards them. People ran in terror, and even the dog was so scared. 

The newspapers quickly picked up on the story. The town became centre of attention and UFO enthusiasts have been visiting Flatwoods ever since. Sceptics have theorised that the local people of Flatwoods only panicked when they saw a meteor and an owl. In fact there really was a meteorite observed across the skies in West Virginia on that same night. Whatever really happened it made Flatwoods famous.
