The following morning, the editor of the Braxton Democrat visited the site, where he discovered “skid marks” and “an odd, gummy deposit” in the field. RELATED: Is the Loch Ness Monster Real? The Facts, Fiction, and Everything In-Between Shortly afterward, the sheriff and a deputy came from investigating a report of a downed airplane-which was probably actually the same fiery shape in the sky which the boys had spotted, and not a plane at all-and investigated the scene, but they found nothing. Terrified, Lemon dropped the flashlight, and all of them ran. The somewhat jumbled nature of the witnesses’ descriptions of the creature can perhaps be forgiven since, as soon as they turned the flashlight upon it, the monster made a sound that was “something between a hiss and a high-pitched squeal” and glided toward the assembled throng. Kathleen May described the creature as having “small, claw-like hands that extended in front of it,” a lower body with what looked like pleated folds or drapes of fabric, and a sort of hood around its face that “resembled the ace of spades.” All of these elements would later become fairly standard in depictions of the Flatwoods Monster. RELATED: Alleged Megalodon Sightings That Will Make You Want to Believeĭescriptions of the monster vary, depending upon which of the seven who saw it you ask, or who is doing the retelling of their accounts, but in general, the Flatwoods Monster was described as being taller than a man, with a round, red face and a dark green body.
The oldest boy, 17-year-old Gene Lemon, a member of the West Virginia National Guard, later told investigators and UFOlogists that he shined his flashlight in the direction of the glow, which is how the group saw the monster. This was their first indication of trouble. As they crested a hill on the property where the boys had seen the object go down, they saw a pulsating red light.
