Kids have vivid imaginations.

There's always a monster under the bed, a ghost in the closet, a witch in the woods.

Most of the time that monster is just a blanket or a forgotten toy.

The ghost is a billowing curtain, the witch is a branch or a squirrel.

As soon as the parents come in to take a look, the fear is gone.

In 1952, in Flatwood's West Virginia, that typical story was flipped on its head.

Because when two brothers brought their mother to see a spooky looking creature in the woods,

she saw it too.

This week, I'm talking about the Flatwood's monster.

In 1952, a group of children saw a mysterious light flying across the sky and land in a nearby

field.

When they went to investigate, they spotted a 15-foot tall humanoid figure, a monster

so strange.

It could only be from outer space.

I'll have more on the Flatwood's monster after this.
