Dive back into the definitive West Virginia cryptid mystery with a special 74th-anniversary deep dive into the Flatwoods Monster. On September 12, 1952, a group of local boys and Kathleen May watched a fiery object streak across the Braxton County sky before landing on a dark hilltop in Flatwoods. What they found waiting in the trees was a towering, 12-foot-tall metallic entity with a blood-red face, glowing eyes, and an ace-of-spades cowl that left the witnesses sick for days.
Building on our most popular episode, this anniversary special expands far beyond the classic schoolyard legend to uncover a web of eerie, forgotten sightings from September 1952. Hear the chilling account of the Snitowsky family's Route 4 car stall, Audra Harper’s harrowing nighttime chase, and a terrifying pre-incident encounter in Weston, West Virginia. We also trace how these Appalachian roots intertwined with UFO investigator Albert Bender and the terrifying birth of the Men in Black mythos, concluding with a bizarre 1993 shape-shifting cryptid report from the exact same area.
