In Maidstone, Kent, there are are many places rich in folklore and legends, but among the most bizarre case is the one about the Bat Beast.
On a chilly night of 16th November 1963, a group of teenaged boys were returning home from a party. John Flaxton was 17 years old, and Mervyn Hutchinson was 18, and there were also two other boys with them. They were walking along Sandling Road, when something caught their attention. A glowing egg shaped object flew quietly across the sky above a field before landing in the nearby woods of Sandling Park. They described the eerie object as a few metres in diameter.
Moments afterwards, the shrubbery was shaking and then a strange entity emerged. It waddled on two webbed feet and looked like a hairy creature with large batlike wings. It stood 5 foot tall and seemed to have no head. It approached the terrified boys and spread out its wings, then flapped. The boys fled at once and they ran away to the nearest police station where they told officers what happened. Although the police were sceptical, they could tell that something scared the boys.
But it wasn't only the boys who experienced the Bat Beast or the strange flying object. Another eye witness, a man named Keith Croucher, came forward to say he witnessed the glowing light in the sky over the football pitch. Also on 23rd November 1963, John McGoldrick and a friend noticed a glowing light coming from the woods of the park, and later he discovered unusual footprints in the area where the boys saw the Bat Beast. While there was something weird going on at the time in that place, it all mysteriously stopped.
