The Flatwoods Monster

A recent episode of the History Channel's Monsterquest dealt with something I had never heard of - The Flatwoods Monster. Since grade school, I've tried to read as much about this kind of thing as I could, and I've never come across this weird tale.

Did a quick youtube search and found my favorite ufologist discussing the topic. Stanton Friedman is the man. I wish he were my uncle or something.

After listening to the witnesses on Monsterquest, I tend to believe they saw something quite strange and terrifying.

Dunno if it was alien or some toxic govt project.

John Keel mentions them in The Mothman Prophecies.

Really? Neat.

I had no idea.

Yeah, same general area. It seems like West Virginians were afflicted with some kind of mania for a couple years there. Or extreme boredom, maybe.
