What is your take on the Flatwoods monster? Did it ever exist? Was it an ? I think something did happen but i have no basis of my thought. (I accidetally posted it on the wrong forum.)

I have heard this story a few times, very unique, but I am lead to agree with the owl theory myself, the heart shaped face did it for me.

I'm with the Owl/F-16 theory.

pure alien. creepy alien.

How is it that every time there's an incident of this magnitude, so many facts get jumbled? And even when witnesses tell their stories, it's reported as "they said they saw (such-and-such) but what they probably REALLY saw was (whatever)..." etc.

(Edited to say someone even represented the sighting as a joke! Looks like R2D2 in a silly dress!)

LOL. Yeah, give me the owl theory.

It must be alien, because they saw something crash from the sky right before they saw it.

flashing eyeball, weird smell, giant figure...

Rosie O'Donnell lol

Actually, some people consider the Flatwoods Monster a crytozoological phenomena, so you could have posted it in either.

But if it was an alien, what's the possibility that it's silly little dress was it's space-suit (or better yet, earth-suit). You know how scientist have postulated that humans would need a suit to survive on Mars, maybe the alien's scientists made that suit so it could survive on Earth.

you mean their scientist also have bad taste in clothes ?

I believe in the Flatwoods Monster. One of the first stories to send a chill down my spine.

Simple as that.

this is a good read very interesting
and the investigation in the link provided was quite indepth
but i dont think this should be classed as a monster
a monster by definition is evil,horrid and nasty
i see no evidence of this here
in fact its only act was to scream a bit runaway and smell bad !!!!
if anything it was an act of defence possibly of a frightened creature ?????

The Malayan pit viper is a CREATURE that's characterized as being "ill-tempered, with long fangs, and responsible for many bites, with venom that's hemotoxic, destroying blood cells and tissue...."

Therefore, I would say the Malayan pit viper fits your definition of a MONSTER (being evil, horrid and nasty)........

I am merely using the Malayan pit viper as an example. I am in no way suggesting that the Flatwoods Monster was a Malayan pit viper.

The point I am making is, to call it the "Flatwoods Creature" instead of the "Flatwoods Monster" would be misleading, in that it would portray it as more of an "Earthly creature," as opposed to (possibly) something more bizarre and unexplainable, say, "alien."

Hope that makes sense!

Me think it's an alien...With a bad fashion taste and is mistaken Flatwoods for Paris, France.

I have heard of the flatwoods monster,but I have never read the story

read it when i was kid, creepy story. makes me believe UFO

The OP titled this thread "Flatwoods Monster People Died"........

Like... who died?

The Flatwoods incident occurred 55 years ago, on September 12, 1952... so I guess it's reasonable to expect that most (if not all) of the players have naturally died by now...



(Or... died laughing?)

well actually they were sick with symptoms of mustard gas after seeing the creature

^Can't blame 'em. Blame it on the fastfood trend on those years!

Remembering hte old photo- I think it was a carboard cut-out. I can't help but feel this one was a bit fabricated. it looked like something that would be quite at home battling against the Great Race of Yith for supremacy of the prehistoric Earth.

I never really looked into this alot.But I wanna know everything I can know now.

actually the only thing that die is the dog who chase this creature. the boys and their mom just saw giant with big flashing eyes and stinky breath

Perhaps it wasn't "stinky breath"... Could be the excitement caused flatulence... (anything's possible)

do you mean FART ?
