Flatwoods monster

And those are always incredibly valid.

And this distinction matters because the Flatwoods Monster's case is not one simple mystery.

It is a whole conglomeration of shit.

There may be several mysteries layered together.

So let's not say 100% like I'll rip my fucking heart out with my bare hands Indiana Jones style if it's not true.

But.

The question is not simply, was the Flatwoods monster real? The better question is, what combination of real things could create that image in that place for those people in only a few frightening seconds? To understand the creature, we have to begin with the light that brought everyone up the hill.

The moonshine explosion.

A place which mixes strangeness and the unexplainable.

A place that the Flatwoods monster calls home.

Also known as the Braxton County monster, Braxy, or the Phantom of the Flatwoods, This alleged humanoid cryptid is most associated with Flatwoods, Braxton County, West Virginia.

The first encounters followed the appearance of a bright light moving across the night sky, as many such sightings do, coming at what might be called UFO flaps.

You can see the

waifu version of the

Flatwoods monster.

The reported sighting received significant public attention.

Just three days earlier, on November 14th, a fiery object had been spotted falling out of the sky towards Bald Mountain.

Could this strange creature be some sort of interstellar visitor arriving in a similar fashion, uh, as that of the Flatwoods Monster?

Hmm.

Before Smith made his report about what he saw that night, two other people, Mr.

The crazy creature was never seen again.

The area where it had been spotted was about five miles from where that fiery object had been seen crash landing just a few days before.

I think this might be, if this, if there had been more eyewitnesses to this, it's possible that we might have had like a whole other Flatwoods Monster case here.

Mm-hmm.

Like, I, I've oftentimes said, and people, it blows their minds.

They're like, I go, "So you got The Vision, right, from, from Avengers." I said, "The Vision is very clearly based off of the Flatwoods Monster." And people go, "Oh, my gosh." I said, "Yeah, think about it.

We don't know if it's an alien or a cyborg." Red, r- what, uh, primarily red and green.

There's, you know, yellow.

Coming up, September 12th marks 74 years since the 1952 Flatwoods monster sightings.

most folks don't know all the tales associated with the flatwoods monster so today we're going to take a look at those in memory of what happened so long ago

from what i was told dad and uncle eddie and some other neighborhood children were playing at the flatwoods elementary school which was probably i don't know i would say from their house as the crow flies three or four hundred yards from their house and you know it was getting to be you know later in the evening if i'm not mistaken it was around 7 15 7 30 in the evening and they saw this big fireball go over top of them well you know all kids are going to take off and run and see what it is so when they got to run past their home they stopped and got got my grandma and I'm not sure how Gene Lemon come into the picture.

I know he lived across the street from them, but like, I don't know if he was outside or if she stopped and got him, but somehow they picked him up and a few others when they ran up on the hill.

Shaken and breathless, Audria and Betsy pressed on until they reached their destination.

There, they managed to find a man at a nearby bar who agreed to give them a ride home in his truck, bringing an end to a night they would never forget.

This next encounter happened about a week before the famous Flatwoods monster sighting.

On September 5, 1952, near Weston, West Virginia, a 20-year-old woman and her mother were reportedly on their way to church when they encountered something they could not explain.
