5. The Flatwoods Monster
The creature was first signed in Flatwoods, in Braxton County, West Virginia, in September 1952. Witnesses describe it as being 7 feet tall (2.1 m), with a dark body and a glowing face. Its head is horizontally elongated with a large, circular cowl appearing behind it, with some sort of exoskeleton and long arms with claw-like fingers.
The first of numerous sightings involved a group of boys who were investigating a bright red object that shot across the night sky. They found a large pulsing red orb within a pungent foggy mist that made their eyes and noses burn. The light of their flashlight revealed an unidentified creature close to a nearby tree. It let out a piercing hissing sound before gliding up towards them. The fear-stricken group immediately fled the area. No adequate explanation has ever been given.
