    Very nicely done. West Virginia also has its own Goatman legacy. Same back story. I really enjoy the food from the spot. There isn't much in Flatwoods, Sutton seemed to take over for the museum. It was located at the outlets before moving.

    Awesome, the flatwoods monster is one of my favorite paranormal entities, I don't consider it a cryptid. If you haven't seen it small town monsters has an excellent documentary on it, so weird. Loving this paranormal kick you've been on.

    I love how much the Japanese love the Flatwoods Monster. My first exposure to this beastie was via an alien abduction level in Majora's Mask, one of the most popular Zelda games of all time. Not bad for only the second biggest cryptid in West Virginia haha

    I watch all the historical videos connected to the Flatwoods Monster but let’s face it, there just isn’t a lot to learn about the once and done incident. I’m glad they now have a museum but maybe what it needs is a campy motion picture based on the facts and a happy meal toy.

    It makes sense that the flatwoods incident happened in 1952 because that was when the whole world was obsessed with anything Alien related. I believe this creature to be some kind of cyborg based on its appearance and ability to levitate and create mist. It just makes me wonder what those people actually saw, I wish I could've been there

    If you come back to Oregon you should visit Bigfoot Bites in Lebanon! They serve burgers and they are all named after cryptids! It’s pretty cool and they’re great burgers. Themed completely to a log cabin. They also play Harry and The Henderson’s 24/7. Please look into it!

    I have that Amagon Nintendo game from when I was a child. The instruction booklet showed the Flatwoods monster as the final boss. I never made it to him in the game, it was a difficult game and I wasn't very good! Many years later I saw the monster in a book on cryptids and I was kind of surprised, I thought it was just some strange video game character. Looking at screen shots of the game I think they captured its creepiness although not its colorfulness.

    I moved away from WV three years ago. They didn't have a museum then. You should go see the Grey Barker museum in Clarksburg. He was the man that created the idea of Men in Black. Very important to scifi culture even though he never gets any credit.

    I'm betting the two guys passed out drunk and woke up laying on their backs still half drunk and saw a hooded street light shining down on them, the Flatwood Monster looks like a hooded street lamp if look at from underneath looking up, especially since all the drawings look like the round "head" is glowing. lol

    You started the video by saying you are in Braxton County, West Virginia. Then the very next sentence you say the state of Virginia. These are two separate states. West Virginia is the only state that has it's creation directly connected to the Civil War.

    • @ToxicStranger123
      @ToxicStranger123 2 роки тому

      I don't believe in the owl theory, eyewitnesses said that creature was very tall about 10 feet (3 meters) and there's no way they would mistake an owl for a tall mechanical devil. The huge weird creature it was hovering above the ground and it glided towards them, it scared them to run for their lives. An owl sitting on top of a tree can't control the whole tree to move towards them, because the tree has its roots in the ground, moreover an owl is too small for it to control the whole tree to move towards them to scare. As for Mothman, Mothman is a strange humanoid creature that can fly about 2 meters high, it has red glowing eyes, an owl's eyes can't glow red and it's too small to mistake it for Mothman.
