It only took one night for this week's cryptid to become a local legend. In Flatwoods, West Virginia there was a light that brightened up the night sky on September 12, 1952. There were multiple accounts shared with the media, but it was the accounts made by the May family and friends that became the “true” story of the cryptid. Ladies and Gentlemen I’d like to introduce you to the Flatwoods Monster. Enjoy!
