Episode 2 – The Beast of Van MeterIn the fall of 1903, something strange descended on the quiet town of Van Meter, Iowa. It came in the dark—winged, towering, and glowing from its head like a lantern. Townspeople swore it was real. Newspapers documented the terror. And then… it vanished.
In this episode, we dig through the original reports, eyewitness accounts, and the uneasy silence that followed. Because the people of Van Meter never forgot what they saw.
And they were certain… it was watching them too.
