Around the community one that 17 00:01:01,900 --> 00:01:06,200 was monstrous to look at and seemingly possess an ability to 18 00:01:06,300 --> 00:01:11,900 move with agility and as well as leap remarkable distances as an 19 00:01:11,900 --> 00:01:13,400 illustration of this saying, hear what? 20 00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:15,900 The guy thought he saw. Looks like something out of a 21 00:01:15,900 --> 00:01:18,500 horror movie. I'll put the link at the buy me 22 00:01:18,500 --> 00:01:21,000 a coffee website, like I normally do. 23 00:01:21,500 --> 00:01:24,100 And of course, as always, shout out to the folks that support 24 00:01:24,100 --> 00:01:27,400 the program through there. And also through Spotify, it 25 00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:29,700 says was this strange creature a strange. 26 00:01:29,900 --> 00:01:33,800 Bigfoot type Beast or might it have been a previously unseen 27 00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:37,600 and unknown animal that it along called the region home or might 28 00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:40,600 it have been extraterrestrial or entity From Another Dimension. 29 00:01:40,900 --> 00:01:42,800 The truth is, all these decades later. 30 00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:46,400 Researchers and investigators are no closer, are no closer to 31 00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:48,400 solving the mystery of the infill monster. 32 00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:52,100 However, it still continues to Fascinate people with an 33 00:01:52,100 --> 00:01:55,700 interest in such matters today. The incident is perhaps one of 34 00:01:55,700 --> 00:01:58,800 the best documented encounters with an apparent Cryptid 35 00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:02,500 creature of some And as we shall see another case that appears at 36 00:02:02,500 --> 00:02:05,900 first, to be an isolated run of sightings, but just might share 37 00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:10,199 connections with other seemingly isolated cases involving very 38 00:02:10,199 --> 00:02:14,000 similar creatures. You know, I have to want to look 39 00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:17,000 at these cases like this and fill monster, even a lot of 40 00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:20,900 these Bigfoot, sightings they seem more and more to me to be 41 00:02:20,900 --> 00:02:24,100 some sort of it, interdimensional entity crossing 42 00:02:24,100 --> 00:02:27,300 over because the way they, the way they just appear out of 43 00:02:27,308 --> 00:02:29,800 nowhere, frequently disappear to know. 44 00:02:29,900 --> 00:02:35,000 We're and seem to be impervious to gunshots or other other means 45 00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:38,900 of attack. It says, most retellings of the 46 00:02:38,900 --> 00:02:44,700 account begin on the evening of the 25th of April. 1973 at 47 00:02:44,700 --> 00:02:49,100 around 9 p.m. when ten-year-old Gregor was in his backyard. 48 00:02:49,100 --> 00:02:52,500 Watching the Stars overhead every now and then he would make 49 00:02:52,500 --> 00:02:54,900 an attempt to catch one of the fireflies darting about him. 50 00:02:55,100 --> 00:02:57,800 It was as he was doing this. In fact, when the evening took a 51 00:02:57,808 --> 00:03:02,700 drastic and strange, Learn there in front of him, was what he 52 00:03:02,700 --> 00:03:05,100 would later described his parents as a monster 53 00:03:05,500 --> 00:03:09,700 approximately four to five feet tall with slimy, gray, skin, and 54 00:03:09,700 --> 00:03:12,700 glowing red eyes. What's more this strange? 55 00:03:12,700 --> 00:03:19,000 Beast had three legs as well as Tiny arms with sharp razor like 56 00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:21,600 claws. The monsters creature step 57 00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:25,100 toward Greg, one of its legs even making contact with young 58 00:03:25,100 --> 00:03:27,900 boys foot and tearing his tennis shoe. 59 00:03:28,300 --> 00:03:32,400 It was then when Greg Turned and ran in Terror towards the house. 60 00:03:33,700 --> 00:03:35,900 Now you can imagine this ten-year-old kids, he's a 61 00:03:35,908 --> 00:03:38,600 three-legged monster with razor-sharp claws. 62 00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:41,500 On his front legs, it almost looks like some sort of deformed 63 00:03:41,900 --> 00:03:45,800 T-Rex but they still stration, he burst through the front door 64 00:03:46,100 --> 00:03:47,800 immediately, informing his parents. 65 00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:51,900 What had just what he just seen concern, but uncertain of what 66 00:03:51,900 --> 00:03:55,500 they should make of her son's claims he wasn't known to invent 67 00:03:55,500 --> 00:03:57,900 such wild Stories. The girls called the police 68 00:03:58,100 --> 00:04:01,200 officers arrived, a short time later and conducted a thorough 69 00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:04,500 search around the property. However They could find nothing. 70 00:04:04,500 --> 00:04:07,900 There are no clues to suggest that anything had been there. 71 00:04:08,100 --> 00:04:09,800 Unbeknown to the garish, their neighbors. 72 00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:13,800 The McDaniels had returned home to similar claims of a monster 73 00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:18,600 like beasts around 3:30 eggs and counter around 9:30. 74 00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:23,300 P.m. according to Henry McDaniel their two children claimed, a 75 00:04:23,300 --> 00:04:26,900 thing had tried to enter the house once through the front 76 00:04:26,900 --> 00:04:28,600 door. And another time through the 77 00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:32,500 window, mounted air conditioner. What's more is a too excited and 78 00:04:32,500 --> 00:04:34,600 frightened children? Were telling their parents of 79 00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:38,500 the attempted entry, Henry heard a strange scratching coming from 80 00:04:38,500 --> 00:04:42,800 the front door. So now we have two reports by 81 00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:46,100 two different white three, different children actually, two 82 00:04:46,100 --> 00:04:47,900 different locations, two different times. 83 00:04:48,100 --> 00:04:50,800 Saying the same thing, this bizarre three-legged 84 00:04:51,100 --> 00:04:54,400 three-legged, lizard type monster with Grace can and 85 00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:58,700 razor-sharp claws on its front appendages, it says still 86 00:04:58,700 --> 00:05:01,000 listening to his children. Although seemingly not making 87 00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:03,500 the connection that the scratching could be result of 88 00:05:03,500 --> 00:05:06,800 the be serviced driving Henry. Went to the front door to open 89 00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:09,100 it upon doing. So, he found himself face to 90 00:05:09,100 --> 00:05:11,700 face with the creature. His Golden Tulip after bring 91 00:05:11,700 --> 00:05:14,500 himself to his senses, he slammed the door shut and 92 00:05:14,500 --> 00:05:17,500 stepped away from it. He immediately reached for his 93 00:05:17,500 --> 00:05:19,700 22 pistol and grabbed a flashlight. 94 00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:21,000 He made his way to the back door. 95 00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:23,300 Anticipating the Beast would seek another Point entry into 96 00:05:23,300 --> 00:05:25,000 their home. But when he opened the door, the 97 00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:28,300 creature was indeed there in front of him without wasting any 98 00:05:28,300 --> 00:05:30,600 time, you open fire and the creature however, much to his 99 00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:32,400 horror. The bullets appeared in 100 00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:35,300 effective even though he was almost certain, he had hit the 101 00:05:35,308 --> 00:05:39,300 Beast, he would state that it hissed like a wildcat before 102 00:05:39,300 --> 00:05:41,500 retreating away in. The distance he would further 103 00:05:41,500 --> 00:05:45,700 state it moved with a quote hopping motion, three of which 104 00:05:45,700 --> 00:05:50,100 covered in approximate 75 feet. Now, it's got a picture of This 105 00:05:50,100 --> 00:05:56,600 Old House here from 1973 Pretty modest place, you know, they 106 00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:59,100 seem like Working Class People. I can't imagine why they would 107 00:05:59,100 --> 00:06:01,700 just make up the story. Secondly, the guy fired on the 108 00:06:01,700 --> 00:06:03,700 same point blank with his handgun. 109 00:06:03,700 --> 00:06:08,500 Now, admittedly, a 22 caliber is a small-caliber handgun but 110 00:06:08,500 --> 00:06:12,200 still quite effective enough to kill a person or, you know, even 111 00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:15,000 large animal. So the fact that he shot into 112 00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:19,900 the same point blank and all it did was hiss Well, I find that 113 00:06:19,900 --> 00:06:22,900 very strange, but that's the sort of story that we hear over 114 00:06:22,900 --> 00:06:24,800 and over again. When people fire on these 115 00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:27,000 Cryptids, he would later describe the terrifying 116 00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:30,300 creatures, having three legs, and short body with two little 117 00:06:30,300 --> 00:06:32,800 short arms. Furthermore, it had two pink 118 00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:36,200 eyes as big as flashlights and had a grayish color skin. 119 00:06:36,500 --> 00:06:39,500 He would also state that it was around four and a half feet 120 00:06:39,500 --> 00:06:41,900 tall. Light the Garrett's Henry would 121 00:06:41,900 --> 00:06:46,100 immediately telephone the local police he would though he would 122 00:06:46,100 --> 00:06:50,000 though state that he had just had an Counter with a monster 123 00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:54,000 from outer space. Well, You know, you have to 124 00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:56,600 understand. This is this is his Paradigm. 125 00:06:57,100 --> 00:07:00,000 I mean, this is not that long after the moon landings, this 126 00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:05,300 guy is looking at the situation and saying, wow, something this 127 00:07:05,300 --> 00:07:07,300 odd must have came from outer space. 128 00:07:07,300 --> 00:07:10,700 Well, I mean, what else would you think a short time later? 129 00:07:10,700 --> 00:07:13,300 The Illinois, State Troopers arrived at the McDaniels how 130 00:07:13,300 --> 00:07:16,800 home they would immediately go about searching the area around 131 00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:18,600 the house. This time, unlike the police 132 00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:21,400 search of the Garrett property, the state troopers would 133 00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:23,700 discover several strings. Footprints. 134 00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:26,100 They were similar to that of a dog's only. 135 00:07:26,100 --> 00:07:30,200 They had six toe pads, instead of, for once more, the layout of 136 00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:33,100 the footprints appeared to suggest, whatever had made it 137 00:07:33,100 --> 00:07:36,400 had three legs now, that's weird. 138 00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:40,000 He says it hopped but you got to Wonder, Man, how would that 139 00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:43,000 third leg come into play? Further research? 140 00:07:43,100 --> 00:07:46,700 Further searches of the house itself, did indeed reveal 141 00:07:47,100 --> 00:07:49,000 several strange, and scratch marks. 142 00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:52,400 However, despite the evidence seemingly corroborating, the 143 00:07:52,408 --> 00:07:54,000 McDaniel Eagles version of events. 144 00:07:54,500 --> 00:07:57,500 There was little, the state troopers could do well, some 145 00:07:57,500 --> 00:08:00,600 even comparing skeptical things would settle down for a little 146 00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:04,000 over a week with no further investigations, of sightings of 147 00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:07,100 strange beasts that, that was about to change. 148 00:08:08,300 --> 00:08:12,000 It says, on the early hours of the 6th of May, the first one 149 00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:16,600 happened in April, this is May 6 at around 3:00, 3:00 a.m. the 150 00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:19,000 residence of the McDaniel household were about to 151 00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:23,200 experience another unnerving. A counter Henry, was awoken 152 00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:25,700 first by rampant barking of the neighbors dogs. 153 00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:29,400 Sensing something was wrong. He quickly got out of bed, reach 154 00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:32,299 for his gun and made his way to the front door. 155 00:08:32,799 --> 00:08:35,900 He opened it. And once more saw the beastly 156 00:08:35,900 --> 00:08:38,000 creature, he had witnessed several days earlier. 157 00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:42,100 This time, it was further away. Casually moving along the 158 00:08:42,100 --> 00:08:44,900 railroad tracks ran past her property Henry. 159 00:08:44,900 --> 00:08:48,200 Watched it for several minutes deciding against any action, 160 00:08:48,500 --> 00:08:51,000 given the bullets and seemingly had little effect last time. 161 00:08:51,300 --> 00:08:53,800 After a short, while the creature showed the same, Speedy 162 00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:58,100 hopping ability and disappeared into the distance, several more 163 00:08:58,100 --> 00:09:00,300 days, followed without any further sightings of the 164 00:09:00,300 --> 00:09:03,800 apparent monster. However, during this time news 165 00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:06,200 of the incident quickly, spread around the community and 166 00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:09,400 ultimately much further. So much so that people begin to 167 00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:11,900 arrive in town with hopes of seeing the strange creature for 168 00:09:11,900 --> 00:09:14,000 themselves. What's more, many news reporters 169 00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:16,400 and even scientists eager to study at potentially unknown 170 00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:18,900 creature. Also made the journey to infill, 171 00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:24,000 you know, this is back in 1973 long before the internet 172 00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:25,500 happened. So people actually had to go 173 00:09:25,500 --> 00:09:29,500 where go places to learn things. In fact, such was the attention 174 00:09:29,500 --> 00:09:33,800 and subsequent temporary increased population of the town 175 00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:37,400 that the sheriff of Wight County even threatened to arrest Henry. 176 00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:39,800 If he Continue to speak of such incidents. 177 00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:42,900 And well, here you go. You've got this. 178 00:09:43,300 --> 00:09:46,500 Experiencer is whole family. Actually, we're experienced has 179 00:09:46,900 --> 00:09:50,700 what eyewitnesses to this strange monster of a creature? 180 00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:53,600 He talks about it. That's the natural thing to do. 181 00:09:54,900 --> 00:09:57,000 It looks like the sheriff there went on some kind of a power 182 00:09:57,000 --> 00:10:00,200 trip and threatened to arrest. The guy several arrests were 183 00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:03,200 actually made although these were Hunters of the Beast who 184 00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:05,400 had opened fire on what they thought was the creature and 185 00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:08,100 were consequently charged with being a threat to Public Safety. 186 00:10:08,700 --> 00:10:11,900 It quickly became apparent to local law enforcement that the 187 00:10:11,900 --> 00:10:15,500 attention of so many people in the town was as much of a safety 188 00:10:15,500 --> 00:10:17,900 issue as the apparent monster might be. 189 00:10:18,500 --> 00:10:21,200 This is an interesting point to note is several other cases of 190 00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:23,800 strange, Paranormal Activity, have ultimately been washed away 191 00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:27,200 as a hoax or left uninvestigated by authorities due to the 192 00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:30,500 attention of such events. Bring for example the bizarre 193 00:10:30,500 --> 00:10:34,000 goings-on during the Bridgeport Bridgeport Poltergeist case 194 00:10:34,300 --> 00:10:37,400 authorities declared it as a hoax due to the increased crowds 195 00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:40,500 outside the property. We might also recall the strange 196 00:10:40,500 --> 00:10:42,500 events known as The Mad Gasser of man. 197 00:10:42,500 --> 00:10:45,900 Tune at Mattoon where the increased attention on the town, 198 00:10:45,900 --> 00:10:49,500 for force them to distance themselves from the case, and 199 00:10:49,500 --> 00:10:53,100 each of those cases, then it was the rampant, attention and focus 200 00:10:53,100 --> 00:10:56,800 of so many people that Became a concern to the authorities. 201 00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:59,400 This certainly appeared to be the case in Enfield. 202 00:11:00,900 --> 00:11:03,500 Honestly I think sometimes these guys just get used to doing a 203 00:11:03,508 --> 00:11:06,300 job, that doesn't take that much effort and then when something 204 00:11:06,300 --> 00:11:08,500 out of the ordinary like this happens and you got a bunch of 205 00:11:08,500 --> 00:11:11,500 people coming into town, they don't like to deal with the 206 00:11:11,500 --> 00:11:15,100 extra work and because these individuals are lazy by Nature. 207 00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:17,800 The easiest thing to do is just start arresting people. 208 00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:20,100 Now, some of these guys that were running around out in the 209 00:11:20,100 --> 00:11:23,100 timber firing guns, off willy-nilly, yeah, probably 210 00:11:23,100 --> 00:11:28,700 should not be doing that but you get a very clear picture of the 211 00:11:28,700 --> 00:11:30,100 dichotomy of here, how we approach. 212 00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:32,500 This thing. One side says, wow, this is 213 00:11:32,500 --> 00:11:34,300 really bizarre. Let's talk about what happened 214 00:11:34,300 --> 00:11:36,700 the other side says, no, let's start arresting people. 215 00:11:36,700 --> 00:11:38,000 Let's not talk about what happened. 216 00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:41,700 It says, there were those sightings of the strange beast 217 00:11:41,700 --> 00:11:45,400 from these visitors that didn't result in arrest, one of, which 218 00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:47,800 is perhaps the last sighting of the Beast. 219 00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:52,400 That of wwk, I radio news director, Rick rainbow, he would 220 00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:55,000 claim to have witnessed the Monstrous creature, a short 221 00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:58,200 distance away from the McDaniel home near an abandoned property. 222 00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:02,100 He would describe the creature as a gray, a tape like this 223 00:12:02,100 --> 00:12:04,700 posture, and approximately, five feet, tall. 224 00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:08,900 Reports also suggest that rainbow even managed to record 225 00:12:08,900 --> 00:12:11,700 the strange and chilling. Screams of the creature on audio 226 00:12:11,700 --> 00:12:14,500 tape. However, this recording has not 227 00:12:14,500 --> 00:12:15,900 been made available to the public. 228 00:12:15,900 --> 00:12:18,600 Although several researchers investigators at the time 229 00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:20,000 claimed to have heard the recording. 230 00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:23,500 There you go, they start to get some really powerful evidence. 231 00:12:23,500 --> 00:12:26,000 In the first thing that happens is that evidence is contain 232 00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:28,800 seems like controlled the chilling, screams and shrieks. 233 00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:31,700 So, heard by many people in the town, over the following nights, 234 00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:34,100 then they, suddenly stop the creature. 235 00:12:34,100 --> 00:12:35,900 It seemed whatever it was Advantage. 236 00:12:35,900 --> 00:12:39,700 Does immediately as it arrived. Of course, what it was, where it 237 00:12:39,700 --> 00:12:42,600 came from or indeed, where it went was, and still is a 238 00:12:42,608 --> 00:12:46,100 complete mystery, then it goes on and says the following year 239 00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:49,400 the, the, the year following the incidents, rather one of the 240 00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:53,800 investigators in the area during that time was Loren Coleman, he 241 00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:56,600 would write in the July edition, of Fate magazine and article 242 00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:58,800 titled swamp slobs invade Illinois. 243 00:12:58,900 --> 00:13:02,000 Oi of some of his findings of the sightings he had. 244 00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:05,500 For example, heard the recordings made by Rainbow for 245 00:13:05,500 --> 00:13:08,900 herself and the article Coleman would write that the strange 246 00:13:08,900 --> 00:13:12,300 creatures, whatever, they wore were so far beyond our 247 00:13:12,300 --> 00:13:14,400 understanding that. It's no wonder stories about 248 00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:17,200 them exciting. However, the fact that so many 249 00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:22,400 sightings of the strange abominable swamp slobs boy, what 250 00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:25,100 a mouthful. Well, reported throughout the 251 00:13:25,100 --> 00:13:28,000 entire Southern Illinois area combined with the obvious 252 00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:30,500 sincerity. Of many of those who made such 253 00:13:30,500 --> 00:13:35,100 reports very much suggested, at least the possibility that 254 00:13:35,100 --> 00:13:37,800 something awfully strange is going on in the back Waters of 255 00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:40,400 America. Coleman would then relay the 256 00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:43,700 account of just such a sighting of the strange creature in the 257 00:13:43,708 --> 00:13:45,500 Murfreesboro region of the state. 258 00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:51,100 The first such sighting occurred on June 25th A little after 259 00:13:51,100 --> 00:13:54,100 midnight while parking on a boat ramp near the Big Muddy River. 260 00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:57,600 Randy Needham and Judy Johnson heard a bizarre and unnerving 261 00:13:57,600 --> 00:14:00,700 shriek rang out a cry. They would describe as about 262 00:14:00,700 --> 00:14:03,600 three times as loud as a bobcat only deeper. 263 00:14:04,100 --> 00:14:06,800 And if you've ever heard of bobcat scream, they're really 264 00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:09,800 something so I can imagine what this thing was. 265 00:14:10,300 --> 00:14:13,100 However, before they could contemplate, the cry, much more, 266 00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:16,600 they suddenly noticed a strange upright creature, bounding 267 00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:20,100 toward them, they watch for a moment or two as a 7-foot. 268 00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:24,000 White hair creature. Got to around 20 feet from them 269 00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:26,400 before they brought the car to life and made their way from the 270 00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:29,500 scene, they would head straight to the police station and 271 00:14:29,500 --> 00:14:32,100 Report. The incident to police officers 272 00:14:32,100 --> 00:14:34,400 would attend the scene of the siding and did indeed discover 273 00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:36,800 strange large footprints in the mud. 274 00:14:37,100 --> 00:14:39,700 They would note how the footprints were erratic and that 275 00:14:39,700 --> 00:14:43,500 no two are the same distance. Apart is an OTA speculation. 276 00:14:43,700 --> 00:14:46,400 Might these Footprints suggest to creature might have had three 277 00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:50,000 legs as opposed to two is infill creature appeared to have well, 278 00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:54,100 Maybe there may be the sayings aren't using the normal. 279 00:14:54,100 --> 00:14:56,600 Look, emotional walking, maybe these things are levitating 280 00:14:56,600 --> 00:14:58,500 somehow. I don't know, one of the 281 00:14:58,500 --> 00:15:02,100 officers, Mary Linsley agreed to retrieve a camera so they could 282 00:15:02,100 --> 00:15:04,100 photograph The Impressions. You other. 283 00:15:04,100 --> 00:15:07,100 Jimmy Nash went with Randy and Judy to fall to print pants to 284 00:15:07,100 --> 00:15:10,400 follow the footprints. It was as they were doing. 285 00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:14,200 So that the most incredible shriek they had ever heard rang 286 00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:16,700 out. They quickly realize the strange 287 00:15:16,700 --> 00:15:17,900 Beast. Light creature was only about a 288 00:15:17,900 --> 00:15:19,600 hundred yards away hidden in The Woodlands. 289 00:15:19,900 --> 00:15:23,500 They They quickly backed away from the area and return to the 290 00:15:23,500 --> 00:15:25,900 police car. Incidentally, later that night 291 00:15:25,900 --> 00:15:28,400 police officers would attempt to locate the reason behind a 292 00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:30,500 strange. Splashing sound in the area 293 00:15:30,700 --> 00:15:33,000 thinking it must be linked to the strange sighting. 294 00:15:33,300 --> 00:15:36,500 However, they were unable to uncover the source of the noise 295 00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:39,400 the following night, the other creature would return again. 296 00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:43,100 This time at a little after 10:00 p.m. the witness on this 297 00:15:43,100 --> 00:15:46,600 occasion was four year old Christian Barrel who would rush 298 00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:49,700 to his parents, claiming that he had seen a big white ghost in 299 00:15:49,700 --> 00:15:52,600 the yard They would insist that, he must be mistaken and 300 00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:56,500 dismissed his claims. However, around 10:30 p.m. a 301 00:15:56,508 --> 00:15:59,500 similar sighting came to the light from the next door. 302 00:15:59,500 --> 00:16:02,000 Neighbors ran, decrease and Cheryl Ray. 303 00:16:03,300 --> 00:16:07,600 It was as Randy and Cheryl were sitting on their back porch, 304 00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:09,600 that they suddenly noticed, something moving in the trees on 305 00:16:09,608 --> 00:16:11,900 their property. Cheryl would even later claimed 306 00:16:11,900 --> 00:16:14,400 to have seen glowing pink eyes watching them. 307 00:16:14,700 --> 00:16:16,800 And what's more the globe was not a result of any kind of 308 00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:20,000 reflection instead there were going from their own accord. 309 00:16:20,100 --> 00:16:23,800 That aside the description, the pair of gave of the creature, 310 00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:26,900 was almost identical to that witness the previous evening 311 00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:30,300 after several moments, whatever it was, or creature retreated 312 00:16:30,300 --> 00:16:32,600 into the Woodland and disappeared as it made its way 313 00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:34,700 from the Perry continue to shriek wildly. 314 00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:37,400 The police were called and arrived a short time later to 315 00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:40,700 investigate the scene, like the previous evening, they found 316 00:16:40,700 --> 00:16:43,500 evidence of the creatures presence this time as well as 317 00:16:43,500 --> 00:16:45,500 several Footprints. They also discovered crushed 318 00:16:45,500 --> 00:16:48,500 vegetation where the creature had obviously forced his way 319 00:16:48,500 --> 00:16:50,600 through. They would decide Attempt to 320 00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:53,800 follow the trail officer. Nash was again, one of the 321 00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:56,000 officers who responded to the call with him? 322 00:16:56,000 --> 00:17:00,100 Was officer Ronald man. Warren after discovering that 323 00:17:00,100 --> 00:17:03,000 makeshift pathway according to their police report. 324 00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:07,200 Officer Jerry Nellis was asked to the scene to see if the dog 325 00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:10,000 would track the creature upon reaching the scene. 326 00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:11,599 The German Shepherd, did indeed begin. 327 00:17:11,599 --> 00:17:14,200 Tracking the creature leading officers along, what appeared to 328 00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:16,500 be its track.

Is this kind of reptilian type 344 00:18:03,700 --> 00:18:07,800 creature four and a half five foot tall gray color skin 345 00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:12,700 three-legged add, the arms are short arms almost like a t-rex 346 00:18:12,700 --> 00:18:16,400 with very razor-sharp claws. Coming off them sharp enough. 347 00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:19,700 In fact, that they left visible marks on the inside. 348 00:18:20,700 --> 00:18:24,400 One house, where the guy opened the door up, then the second 349 00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:27,200 monster that seems like it. Shut up about the same time was 350 00:18:27,700 --> 00:18:29,300 moral.

They described it as a sound of 354 00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:43,200 a bobcat screaming. Now if you've ever heard a 355 00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:46,400 bobcat, a lot of people will describe that as a as a woman. 356 00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:50,300 Screaming bloody murder, they have is a very haunting If you 357 00:18:50,300 --> 00:18:53,100 ever hear one of these things, and as one couple said, it was 358 00:18:53,100 --> 00:18:56,600 three times as bad as that. So that's passed something. 359 00:18:57,400 --> 00:18:59,600 Now it says the article goes on and says ultimately the dog 360 00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:02,000 would lead the officers to a heavily wooded area near a small 361 00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:04,400 pond. The area though was much too 362 00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:06,500 thick to negotiate Nellis return. 363 00:19:06,500 --> 00:19:08,900 The police dog to the car temporarily while they searched 364 00:19:08,900 --> 00:19:11,800 the vegetation, a little closer fighting nothin else. 365 00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:14,400 Retrieved the police dog once more, and then proceeded to 366 00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:16,900 search the regional further mainly to the south of this 367 00:19:16,900 --> 00:19:19,100 small pond. They would ultimately find 368 00:19:19,100 --> 00:19:21,600 themselves near a tab. Abandoned barn and decide to 369 00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:24,800 send the police dog inside. However, within moments of the 370 00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:28,000 highly trained, K9 entering the abandoned building it 371 00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:30,900 immediately ran out officer. Daniel Ellis was dumbstruck it 372 00:19:30,900 --> 00:19:33,100 such Behavior given. It was specifically trained to 373 00:19:33,108 --> 00:19:36,400 search buildings when he and Ash search, the more in themselves, 374 00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:38,600 they discovered nothing of Interest inside. 375 00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:42,500 They would suspend their search a short time later according to 376 00:19:42,500 --> 00:19:45,100 the Fate magazine article. There were several further 377 00:19:45,100 --> 00:19:46,600 sightings over the following weeks. 378 00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:48,700 For example, several Carnival workers claim. 379 00:19:48,700 --> 00:19:51,700 They saw the strange creature. Seemingly watching their 380 00:19:51,700 --> 00:19:54,800 Shetland ponies during the Fourth of July celebrations. 381 00:19:55,100 --> 00:19:58,900 Now, if you're younger, you may not remember how common it was 382 00:19:58,900 --> 00:20:03,000 back in the 70s and even 80s for these traveling carnivals to 383 00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:05,500 come around town, and, of course, they all had pony rides. 384 00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:08,500 And so, you can just imagine these Carnival workers. 385 00:20:08,500 --> 00:20:15,100 They're usually a pretty, pretty rough-and-tumble crowd sleeping 386 00:20:15,100 --> 00:20:17,900 there at night. With their ponies is little, you 387 00:20:17,900 --> 00:20:21,000 know, short stocky Shetland ponies, who Ooh, can I can tell 388 00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:24,000 you, by the way, be quite tough. And this thing is stocking them. 389 00:20:24,300 --> 00:20:27,900 It size them up for lunch. No doubt several nights later. 390 00:20:27,900 --> 00:20:31,600 A local moment, heard a sudden piercing scream that appeared to 391 00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:33,800 come from one of the out buildings on our farm. 392 00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:36,100 When the authorities were pressed for comment on the 393 00:20:36,108 --> 00:20:38,600 strange reports and sightings, according to Coleman's article, 394 00:20:38,900 --> 00:20:42,800 they had to admit, they didn't know according to police chief 395 00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:45,000 Toby Berber. They didn't know what the 396 00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:49,200 creature was, but we do believe he says, but we do believe what 397 00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:52,100 these people saw. Real, he would go on to state 398 00:20:52,100 --> 00:20:55,300 that these are good, honest people and that they aren't 399 00:20:55,300 --> 00:20:59,000 seeing something and the same article Coleman goes on to note 400 00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:01,600 that another very similar sighting occurred, several 401 00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:05,200 months later on the evening of the 16th of October in the small 402 00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:07,800 town of st. Joseph on the night in question 403 00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:10,500 for teenagers driving their car. When they believe they spotted a 404 00:21:10,508 --> 00:21:13,700 campfire in your upcoming bridge and pulled over to investigate. 405 00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:17,800 Upon leaving the vehicle. One of the boys struck a match 406 00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:20,900 to see better. However the light revealed them 407 00:21:20,900 --> 00:21:24,000 that they were only a short distance away from a 5-foot tall 408 00:21:24,300 --> 00:21:27,600 gorilla-like creature. The immediately got back inside 409 00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:30,700 the vehicle sped away. One of the teenagers built on 410 00:21:30,700 --> 00:21:32,800 can was later quoted in Champaign-Urbana career. 411 00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:36,800 As saying quote, I wondered if I was nuts or something, when you 412 00:21:36,808 --> 00:21:40,600 first contemplated, what he was saying, whatever it was the 14 413 00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:43,400 years knew they had seen something truly strange. 414 00:21:43,500 --> 00:21:47,000 Now, I find it interesting that these young guys what they saw 415 00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:51,100 was about the same size as what was first spotted about five 416 00:21:51,100 --> 00:21:55,500 foot tall, but they didn't describe it as being lizard-like 417 00:21:55,500 --> 00:21:58,700 or you know, three-legged dinosaur type creature. 418 00:21:58,700 --> 00:22:01,800 They described it as gorilla like almost. 419 00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:04,400 Like we would think I was a possible Bigfoot sighting and 420 00:22:04,408 --> 00:22:05,900 they didn't say, seven-foot-tall either. 421 00:22:05,900 --> 00:22:09,000 I said five foot, it's almost like whatever this thing is, it 422 00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:11,900 could be, it could be multiple creatures, but it's almost seems 423 00:22:11,900 --> 00:22:15,200 like whatever it is. It's some kind of Shapeshifter 424 00:22:15,500 --> 00:22:18,600 seems lost seems disoriented. It kind of takes takes me back 425 00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:23,500 to that notion that maybe these things are some sort of creature 426 00:22:23,500 --> 00:22:26,500 from where they come from, they're being taken here dumped, 427 00:22:26,500 --> 00:22:30,300 you know, rehomed, I guess you could say, whether they were a 428 00:22:30,300 --> 00:22:34,100 criminal, you know, or an outcast or whatever, it's almost 429 00:22:34,100 --> 00:22:36,500 like they're being brought to Earth and Earth is some sort of 430 00:22:36,500 --> 00:22:40,000 print, Prison Planet where they just dump these things off at. 431 00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:41,900 That's what it seems like sometimes. 432 00:22:41,900 --> 00:22:45,000 And then somehow after, after their Here for a while they're 433 00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:47,300 able to blend in, I don't know, but it's very weird. 434 00:22:47,500 --> 00:22:50,300 It says might there have been a connection to the sightings of 435 00:22:50,300 --> 00:22:54,400 the infill monster only weeks earlier, admittedly, some of the 436 00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:56,600 descriptions of the creatures are decidedly different, might 437 00:22:56,600 --> 00:22:59,500 there be than a connection to be found in the location self. 438 00:22:59,500 --> 00:23:02,100 Perhaps one that is home to all manner of strange beasts. 439 00:23:02,100 --> 00:23:05,300 And creatures one thing that Coleman asked in the article is, 440 00:23:05,300 --> 00:23:08,100 what was the mysterious light that the boys took to be a 441 00:23:08,108 --> 00:23:11,600 campfire? This is some potential 442 00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:14,200 explanations for it. Indeed, the connections to these 443 00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:16,700 strange creatures is something we will come back to verify 444 00:23:16,700 --> 00:23:18,900 shortly. It says, and it's got a video 445 00:23:18,900 --> 00:23:21,700 here, you can watch and then below it, it says the article 446 00:23:21,700 --> 00:23:26,300 goes on and says 1978 investigation of the install of 447 00:23:26,300 --> 00:23:29,100 the infield monster case. Let's be 5 years later. 448 00:23:29,500 --> 00:23:32,400 It says, before we examine some further similar cases to the 449 00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:36,100 infield monster sightings, we might do well to quickly examine 450 00:23:36,700 --> 00:23:39,400 and investigation, carried out 1978. 451 00:23:39,700 --> 00:23:43,100 That by several researches, some of their findings are certainly 452 00:23:43,100 --> 00:23:45,300 interesting. They managed to only find three 453 00:23:45,300 --> 00:23:47,800 of the witnesses, who claimed it actually seen the creature for 454 00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:50,400 themselves. This despite the many sightings 455 00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:52,800 on record. Even those three people would 456 00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:55,000 claim that their accounts were largely blown up, or out of 457 00:23:55,008 --> 00:23:58,200 proportion by the media, as well as by local gossip. 458 00:23:58,500 --> 00:24:00,800 It appeared in the investigators that many other reports in 459 00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:03,000 retrospect were claims that snow balled, around the local 460 00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:05,900 community with each telling There are. 461 00:24:05,900 --> 00:24:09,000 Also, there was also the concern that there were very few 462 00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:10,600 pictures taken at the footprints. 463 00:24:10,700 --> 00:24:13,700 The scratches Raven Greg's tennis shoes, that the Beast, 464 00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:16,900 allegedly tore, and while hysteria and fear might account 465 00:24:16,900 --> 00:24:20,300 for this in certain arms. Those with thus, kept it 466 00:24:20,300 --> 00:24:23,100 certainly arms those with a skeptical view of the parent 467 00:24:23,100 --> 00:24:24,700 incidents. Well, you know, when the 468 00:24:24,700 --> 00:24:28,900 sheriff's going around arresting people that out investigating, 469 00:24:28,900 --> 00:24:31,900 it accusing them at least even if they were where they wanted, 470 00:24:31,900 --> 00:24:33,300 don't know. But saying, hey, they're 471 00:24:33,900 --> 00:24:36,700 discharging your firearms and I He's arresting those people. 472 00:24:37,100 --> 00:24:39,600 If he's a threatening to arrest the first guide, reported the 473 00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:42,800 sighting, and people might very well have been intimidated by 474 00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:46,100 it. And five years later wasn't that 475 00:24:46,100 --> 00:24:49,800 far away if people just may have been too afraid to talk about 476 00:24:49,800 --> 00:24:54,500 it, he says there are also those who believe the sightings at 477 00:24:54,500 --> 00:24:56,400 least two additional ones might have been might have contain 478 00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:59,000 certain elements of truth but with an exaggerated in order to 479 00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:01,400 attract enthusiasts and essentially tourist. 480 00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:04,000 Well what Good's it going to do for 10 year old kid to attract a 481 00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:05,800 tourist. We might also note. 482 00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:08,600 If this was the case, it wasn't a view shared by the police 483 00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:10,200 chief. We threaten to arrest Henry 484 00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:13,400 McDaniel if you continue to speak of the creature of 485 00:25:13,408 --> 00:25:15,500 infinite, Build. However, perhaps the main 486 00:25:15,500 --> 00:25:17,500 detailed investigation is certainly want to note a 487 00:25:17,500 --> 00:25:20,300 credibility to the case where the sightings of the two 488 00:25:20,300 --> 00:25:23,300 neighbors, who, as we might recall, gave statements 489 00:25:23,300 --> 00:25:26,300 describing the exact same creature, without knowing of the 490 00:25:26,300 --> 00:25:28,600 others encounter. I don't know. 491 00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:30,800 I'm not sure what, when you need after that. 492 00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:34,500 You've got two people better neighbors, haven't talked to 493 00:25:34,500 --> 00:25:36,400 each other. Both in the same geographical 494 00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:40,600 locations, 1973, no cell phones to call back and forth on and 495 00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:43,500 they're both told police, they saw the same thing, they're 496 00:25:43,500 --> 00:25:46,100 given, Independently verifying each other story. 497 00:25:46,500 --> 00:25:49,600 That's pretty powerful. This is, it is also perhaps 498 00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:51,700 worth noting that the sightings of the creature of infield have 499 00:25:51,700 --> 00:25:54,300 not been reported. Since we might suspect if a hoax 500 00:25:54,300 --> 00:25:58,100 based on wanting to attract tourism was behind the majority 501 00:25:58,100 --> 00:26:00,900 of the sightings that some further orchestrated incidents 502 00:26:00,900 --> 00:26:04,800 might have taken place. Yeah, that seems to be a seems 503 00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:07,200 to be a debunker thing. Gets thrown out there a lot. 504 00:26:08,100 --> 00:26:10,600 When something like this happens, it not so much anymore 505 00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:13,700 because people travel so much of X and the 70s, and even 80s and 506 00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:17,000 And you know before then if something like this were to 507 00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:18,100 happen. Yeah. 508 00:26:18,100 --> 00:26:21,400 You might have a newspaper or a local business, try to exploit 509 00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:22,900 it. I mean, even today they have 510 00:26:22,900 --> 00:26:28,100 these festivals and stuff. But honestly, you have to look 511 00:26:28,100 --> 00:26:31,300 at the timeline of events. You had these independent 512 00:26:31,300 --> 00:26:34,200 sightings. They were reported right away. 513 00:26:35,100 --> 00:26:37,700 They were independently reported seeing the same thing 514 00:26:38,300 --> 00:26:40,800 independently. Reported seeing the same thing 515 00:26:41,300 --> 00:26:45,000 and then you had recurrent. After that and then they just 516 00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:47,500 disappeared. So, whatever this thing was, it 517 00:26:47,500 --> 00:26:49,800 seems like I just showed up here, it seems like it was 518 00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:53,400 disoriented distressed. I don't know if it was looking 519 00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:54,800 for shelter or what it was doing. 520 00:26:55,100 --> 00:26:59,300 It's kind of a really kind of a disturbing scenario to think 521 00:26:59,300 --> 00:27:03,600 that this thing was some sort of entity that was lost and what 522 00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:05,500 would be for it? Its own living hell. 523 00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:08,800 Is this wandering around here in this geographical area trying to 524 00:27:08,808 --> 00:27:13,300 make contact with somebody? But being of such a frightening 525 00:27:13,300 --> 00:27:15,700 appearance. It's that nobody wanted anything 526 00:27:15,700 --> 00:27:18,500 to do with it, and that is definitely, a strange case of 527 00:27:18,500 --> 00:27:22,800 the infield, monster that occurred there back on April and 528 00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:26,600 actually, in the May of 1973 and infield Illinois. 529 00:27:26,900 --> 00:27:30,200 Until next time, this is UFO morning over and out. 530 00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:16,900 It's that nobody wanted anything to do with it, and that is 531 00:27:16,900 --> 00:27:20,500 definitely, a strange case of the infield, monster that 532 00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:25,400 occurred there back on April and actually, in the May of 1973 and 533 00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:28,400 infield Illinois. Until next time, this is UFO 534 00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:30,200 morning over and out.
