Speaker 4: We if you're a true fan and you remember some
Speaker 4: of the strange monsters we covered on a forgotten episode,
Speaker 4: we did kind of mention this, but I want to
Speaker 4: dive deeper in it because to me, it's probably one
Speaker 4: of the most fucked up cryptids, because that's technically what's
Speaker 4: labeled as.
Speaker 6: But it's a weird alien. We will get into maybe whatever.
Speaker 3: This thing is a flat wood.
Speaker 6: It's where it's from. It's where it's from.
Speaker 7: Oh, I thought he had like I thought someone ran
Speaker 7: over his boner or something.
Speaker 6: He's like flat side of the road, like Jim Carrey
Speaker 6: in the Mask.
Speaker 3: Look road Kill. You remember when they used to give
Speaker 3: that movie out in cereal boxes.
Speaker 5: Fuck?
Speaker 4: Yeah they yeah, and they are. They had like Batman
Speaker 4: forever in a cereal box.
Speaker 6: Wonder. Yeah, used to get free DVDs and fucking cereal.
Speaker 3: And then they just stopped. They only put out the
Speaker 3: Mask for.
Speaker 6: Like two five. I know. That was kind of cool though.
Speaker 4: They used to get cool things in your cereal and
Speaker 4: nowadays all you get.
Speaker 3: Is diabetes a bunch of so.
Speaker 4: The flat Woods Monster also known as the Braxton County
Speaker 4: Monster or the Phantom of flat Woods or this is
Speaker 4: kind of cute. Sometimes they just call him Braxi little
Speaker 4: Braxie boy.
Speaker 3: Oh he's got a nickname. Did he play what did
Speaker 3: he play with the kids.
Speaker 4: Yeah, we'll get into it. We'll get into it. He
Speaker 4: did give some kids quite a scare. He's an alleged
Speaker 4: unidentified extraterrestrial or cryptid reported to be cited in the
Speaker 4: town of flat Woods in Braxton County, West Virginia on
Speaker 4: September and twelfth, nineteen fifty two, is when they initially
Speaker 4: it happened. But this has grown to a bigger story
Speaker 4: and obviously, like most weird cryptids, this town uses it
Speaker 4: to their advantage, you know, like we talked about, Yeah.
Speaker 3: Like you make a tourist money and shit, right.
Speaker 6: Yeah, exactly, witness has.
Speaker 4: Witnesses have described the monster as being towering and around
Speaker 4: seven feet tall, with black body and a dark glowing
Speaker 4: face surrounded by a pointed hood, Like shit, so a
Speaker 4: lot of yeah.
Speaker 3: A black body. Do you mean like he's black?
Speaker 4: No, No, he's like there's different Yeah, there's different sightings
Speaker 4: of of what he looks like, and we'll get into it.
Speaker 4: But the first sign it seems like he his head
Speaker 4: was shaped like that of a spade from a card,
Speaker 4: like a deck of cards.
Speaker 6: Yeah, is that fucking weird?
Speaker 3: Weird little but someone with yeah.
Speaker 4: Because supposed to be he wore like a metal black
Speaker 4: dress and ships.
Speaker 3: Is that like armor? And then he just like walking
Speaker 3: around spearheading people.
Speaker 6: Yeah, and he.
Speaker 4: Also supposed to be levitates, but many people describe eyes
Speaker 4: shining like in animals in the darkness, which many people
Speaker 4: have taken uh to that the creature kind of has
Speaker 4: like an owl like head. There is different sightings of this.
Speaker 4: We'll get into it, but it's just he's a weird
Speaker 4: looking creature.
Speaker 6: He levitates. The monster's body allegedly.
Speaker 4: Had a series of folds that ripple across his torso
Speaker 4: down towards its feet. Some people have said the creature
Speaker 4: has long, spindily claw like fingers that lash out like
Speaker 4: uh that lash out at people from its branch like.
Speaker 7: Arms claws and they like exact like a spring and.
Speaker 3: They just go and then come back to you.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it is. He's like one of the creepiest looking ones.
Speaker 6: He's like Levity.
Speaker 4: He's got these long spindily arms and ship and then
Speaker 4: the weird shaped head shiny ass eyes. Because and so
Speaker 4: it's likely that the creature's color isn't actually black, but
Speaker 4: a dark green or brown that gives a colorless look
Speaker 4: once removed from a light source. Some witnesses uh to
Speaker 4: the monster have added a robotic like dress or or
Speaker 4: like kind of a weird Yes, it's a weird metal
Speaker 4: dress on its bottom half. It's kind of like, yeah,
Speaker 4: it's kind of giving it like a sock the hedgehig
Speaker 4: villain vibe, like doctor robotniks around and his little fucking chair.
Speaker 3: Maybe that's where she's based.
Speaker 6: Yeah, so he's just like the weirdest looking thing. And
Speaker 6: we'll get into it later.
Speaker 4: But some people describe him as looking like a reptilian esque.
Speaker 4: But this is a creepy, fucking dude. He's not from
Speaker 4: this world and he just wants to fit in and
Speaker 4: he likes wearing dresses, so he would fit in with
Speaker 4: Generation Z problem.
Speaker 3: So everyone we quick just because you said that, Yeah,
Speaker 3: what the fuck is this super straight thing that keeps
Speaker 3: coming up on?
Speaker 4: Oh, well that guy in there's a guy on TikTok
Speaker 4: that made up his own his own gender or nudge.
Speaker 4: I think they do classify as gender, but it's only
Speaker 4: his own sexual orientation. And now people have caught in
Speaker 4: the bandwagon of being like, well, I don't want to
Speaker 4: have sexual relationships with a trans woman because I want
Speaker 4: a biological woman.
Speaker 6: So they kind of made their own.
Speaker 3: I'm super straight.
Speaker 4: Yeah, because it's just like they're getting all this hate
Speaker 4: for saying, hey, I don't want to have sex with
Speaker 4: someone who was born a man and transitioned into a woman.
Speaker 4: They want a biological woman. And the people are getting
Speaker 4: all butt hurt, so they create their own their own thing.
Speaker 7: That's like, oh man, that's gonna just stir the pot.
Speaker 7: This is gonna I just I just saw one guy today.
Speaker 7: It was like, yep, he's like, and I want our
Speaker 7: own month that's super straight in September.
Speaker 3: And it's like I want to parade as well.
Speaker 6: Yeah I saw that too. Yeah, we were talking.
Speaker 3: Oh but that's that is just crazy.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 4: So everyone who has the poor luck of running into
Speaker 4: the Flatwood Monster had experienced the same physical symptoms to
Speaker 4: varying degrees.
Speaker 6: Some of them deal with you.
Speaker 4: Know, like throw and Noah's irritation, while other people who
Speaker 4: were in the vicinity began to vomit and they also
Speaker 4: have like they're convulsing too.
Speaker 6: So this thing gives you like bad errors wah wah.
Speaker 4: And then you start like throwing up and convulsing and
Speaker 4: freaking out.
Speaker 3: What is that? Like Like an e MP takes away electronics?
Speaker 3: What's that? What is that?
Speaker 7: There's a there's a tool that I've seen in like movie,
Speaker 7: countless movies, and like I think it's real.
Speaker 3: Like it's like the.
Speaker 4: Sonic wave and then that makes you like throw up.
Speaker 4: Oh the brown note where it makes you shit yourself.
Speaker 4: There's like a note you can play and then supposed to.
Speaker 3: Be but yeah, that's not what I was thinking of.
Speaker 3: But whatever.
Speaker 4: Yeah, so so like the people feel different type of feelings,
Speaker 4: but essentially it's like, you know, they're uncomfortable and they
Speaker 4: throw up and they vomit and they convulse. But weeks
Speaker 4: after the event, one of the boys in the group
Speaker 4: that this is the first kind of sighting. Gene Lemon
Speaker 4: was still unable to swallow liquids because of the irritation.
Speaker 4: A doctor who examined the group said that their ailments
Speaker 4: were similar to those suffered by soldiers who encountered Mustard Gash.
Speaker 6: Yeah, this weird ass fucking alien. He's a weird guy.
Speaker 6: He's from the fleetwoods Man. He's got a long, spinnily claws.
Speaker 6: He makes you feel like you have to vomit.
Speaker 3: He's in the he's in the woods.
Speaker 7: Maybe his diet was just really bad and he's dropping
Speaker 7: stink bombs like NonStop. It's like if you put me
Speaker 7: out in the woods for two months, It's like, that's
Speaker 7: gotta be mustard gas. I'm like, no, somebody just give
Speaker 7: me some fucking bread.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: If if Billy got dropped out in the woods for
Speaker 4: like over a couple months, he would become a new cryptid.
Speaker 4: It's the lanky man of the Cambridge fucking city and
Speaker 4: he fucking reeks.
Speaker 6: He smells. All he does is you.
Speaker 4: You you find like old cheese and a dumpster, and
Speaker 4: you just keep eating cheese. And then it's like a
Speaker 4: cartoon where all you see is like greens, like smoke
Speaker 4: coming out of the woods, and it's just all from your.
Speaker 6: Gas, from your.
Speaker 7: Not rotten cheese, not alone. I don't even want to
Speaker 7: know what that would do.
Speaker 4: It's find old pizza and shit. And then then he
Speaker 4: used old pizza farts.
Speaker 6: All right.
Speaker 4: So a doctor also knows that the effects are the
Speaker 4: same as people who suffer from hysteria, but that claim
Speaker 4: somehow sounds more ridiculous than the group of people actually
Speaker 4: seeing a horror a horrific owl creature in the woods,
Speaker 4: because he's like, well, maybe they're just suffering from hysteria.
Speaker 4: You know, many alien abductees have a similar symptoms to
Speaker 4: the people who saw the flatwood monsters, which points towards
Speaker 4: the creature either being from another planet or maybe interdimensional.
Speaker 4: So we'll get to the story in the background of
Speaker 4: where the how he appears in in folklore and everything.
Speaker 7: Okay, I want to know who did anybody talk to him? Like,
Speaker 7: how would you know anything of where he came from?
Speaker 6: Well, it's just a guess, that's it.
Speaker 3: It's a guess, straight guess. It's like this guy, it's
Speaker 3: it's got to be from that one time.
Speaker 6: So much of that tambucha snap snap snap.
Speaker 3: I wonder what that's wonder what that tastes like.
Speaker 6: It tastes like old vegetables. I don't know how to
Speaker 6: describe it. It's a weird.
Speaker 4: It's it's uh, some of them smell like fucking vinegar
Speaker 4: and ship and it's just, yeah, I don't think you
Speaker 4: would like.
Speaker 6: It, to be honest, weird. It's fermented fucking vegetables, and
Speaker 6: all right, it will fruits.
Speaker 3: I drink fermented by yeah beer, that's true.
Speaker 4: And for all listeners, Yes, And it is twelve am
Speaker 4: on a fucking Sunday and Billy's got beer and I had.
Speaker 6: A shot of whiskey, and you know we never.
Speaker 3: Dog you got it?
Speaker 4: Yeah, I know, because one day the doctor is going
Speaker 4: to be like, your livers fucked. You can't drink anymore,
Speaker 4: and then I'll have to just drink kamboocha all day
Speaker 4: because that's technically a brew.
Speaker 6: So I gotta keep it strange with the brew.
Speaker 3: But my liver will never die.
Speaker 7: It's like it's like we're now, we know what I'm doing,
Speaker 7: do it, and it will it will survive with me.
Speaker 6: Oh you'll be left. Is just a liver.
Speaker 3: So strong.
Speaker 4: So stories of the Flatwood Monster, they know that a
Speaker 4: fireball or mete you're like object happened right before it
Speaker 4: started to appear. And the first report in the first
Speaker 4: reported appearance of the Flatwood Monsters, the boys who saw
Speaker 4: the creature and noted that a foul odor and heavy
Speaker 4: mist seemed to emanate from the monster.
Speaker 6: So he is stinky.
Speaker 4: So it says these boys are like playing out in
Speaker 4: the fucking woods, and you know, they're like sword fighting
Speaker 4: with sticks and having fun together and you know, and
Speaker 4: then they see a meteor like thing crash and I
Speaker 4: think they kind of go towards it, and then this
Speaker 4: motherfucker starts levitating towards them and then they get sick
Speaker 4: and all this shit. So the two boys were allegedly
Speaker 4: sprayed in the face by the smoke that seemed to
Speaker 4: come from within the folds of the monster's body.
Speaker 6: It's like they get all like, say, they're like spraying
Speaker 6: the face, like what the fuck? And then he goes.
Speaker 4: And he's talking to them, but he's like, oh, he says,
Speaker 4: going on, and then all he said is, oh, I farted.
Speaker 6: Sorry.
Speaker 3: What if? What if?
Speaker 6: What if?
Speaker 7: What if he was so fat that he had a
Speaker 7: bunch of skunks in between the folds of fat, so
Speaker 7: it just looked and when he squeezed them, they're there's
Speaker 7: the spray or.
Speaker 6: That his is maybe his mechanism.
Speaker 4: It could be a female, but maybe that's his like
Speaker 4: defense mechanism where he does have things like a skunk
Speaker 4: and if you gets too close to them, he like
Speaker 4: sprays you with a foul.
Speaker 6: Odor or because who knows what this thing could be.
Speaker 4: It could be like, you know, fucking it could be
Speaker 4: like mustard gas type of ship because it said that
Speaker 4: it kind of was similar to that of soldiers being
Speaker 4: exposed to it, so it's like some chemical gas.
Speaker 3: These guys like this is just one of the first
Speaker 3: homeless guys.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Yeah, he's just wearing a hood and a cloak and
Speaker 4: ship and he's like, it keeps me warm at night.
Speaker 6: How do you not sleep under a And you see
Speaker 6: these long branch like arms. This is how I get
Speaker 6: the fruit down from the but the tree I get.
Speaker 7: Like they are they are branches. The just a bunch
Speaker 7: of branches to his arms. He's got the long stick hands. Yeah,
Speaker 7: so that's that's.
Speaker 6: Super weird to me that they like that.
Speaker 4: It releases some or like stinky, stinky gas. But as
Speaker 4: the night went on and the mist grew into a
Speaker 4: heavy fun that settled across the countryside. After two boys
Speaker 4: were sprayed with the mist and made it home, they
Speaker 4: noticed that their faces were covered with an oily residue.
Speaker 6: Creepy. They just slapped each other with pizza pizza face.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Mean, their throat swelled up so much that they couldn't
Speaker 4: even drink liquids for two weeks, which.
Speaker 3: Is fucking weird.
Speaker 6: Even like even if maybe like this is a stereo
Speaker 6: or something happened, What the fuck happened to their faces?
Speaker 6: You know what I mean? It was muster, your guess,
Speaker 6: it's Hitler's step brother just signing in the woods. In
Speaker 6: the fifties, it was Hitler.
Speaker 4: He was actually just hiding in the woods and he
Speaker 4: cantrayed this weird contraption so people didn't recognize him.
Speaker 6: And now he's a flatwood Monster.
Speaker 3: It could be. It's just as just as reasonable as
Speaker 3: anything else we saw.
Speaker 4: So the Flatwood Monster first entered into the public consciousness
Speaker 4: in nineteen fifty two after a group of children aged
Speaker 4: ten to seventeen. That's a big age gap. Why is
Speaker 4: a seventeen year old hanging out with a ten year
Speaker 4: old is beyond me. But that includes all their brothers too.
Speaker 4: Edward and Fred May chased a ball of fire that
Speaker 4: fell from the sky into the hills of Braxton County.
Speaker 6: They alleged followed the ball of fire.
Speaker 4: Or UFO into the hills and ran into the creature
Speaker 4: before high tailing it out of there, so they can
Speaker 4: kind of explain that.
Speaker 6: But that's how this all started.
Speaker 4: When a local sheriff began to investigate the sightings, he
Speaker 4: learned that there had been rumors and sightings of the
Speaker 4: creature prior to the sightings by the May children.
Speaker 6: So he's like, there's something fishy is going on here.
Speaker 6: Now I gotta get to the bottom of it because
Speaker 6: I got nothing else to do.
Speaker 4: So then they get the fuck out of there, and
Speaker 4: the investigator he starts to investigate. He's like, what the
Speaker 4: fuck's going on in my city? I'm sick of my
Speaker 4: little town. I'm sick of it's deal with the homeless guys.
Speaker 4: I want something more exciting, So I'm gonna start doving
Speaker 4: into the Flatwood Monster.
Speaker 6: See where this fucker's at. So it could be that, yeah,
Speaker 6: it could be at.
Speaker 4: The Flatwood Monster was actually an extraterrestrial that landed in
Speaker 4: an area to do some research.
Speaker 6: He's like, I'm gonna lose some research in the forest.
Speaker 4: He got my old friend Bigfoot that I think he's
Speaker 4: walking around here or somewhere somewhere.
Speaker 3: He's elusive.
Speaker 4: Baby, he was looking for Bigfoot. Maybe this guy lost
Speaker 4: out one of his pets. And then he's like shows
Speaker 4: up and he's like, where is that fucker? And he's
Speaker 4: just like randomly watering down to Arkansas. He's like, I
Speaker 4: smell cousin fucking down there. It sounds lot of fun.
Speaker 4: And then he loses him in Arkansas, and then it becomes.
Speaker 3: Why are you guys smoking in the cars with your
Speaker 3: babies literally.
Speaker 4: So, or it could be an introdudential cryptid similar to
Speaker 4: that of sasquatch. Either way, there's something in Braxton County,
Speaker 4: West Virginia that draws the creature to its dark woods.
Speaker 6: Something's going on.
Speaker 4: It's like, as I said, maybe he lost his pet,
Speaker 4: or there's something in the forest that he needed for
Speaker 4: whatever fucking reason.
Speaker 3: I don't.
Speaker 7: I don't think he needed anything in there. I think
Speaker 7: he was just he was like too many people fucking.
Speaker 6: They flown away because he just levitated.
Speaker 7: He's like super Also in his interview, he's like, I'm
Speaker 7: really claustrophobic and I have a lot of social anxiety.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4: So after a few hours after the May Brothers and
Speaker 4: their friends ran to the Creature of the Woods, another
Speaker 4: group also had an encounter with the flat Woods Monster. Allegedly,
Speaker 4: a couple and their infant were driving down the highway
Speaker 4: and smoking in their cars like they're from Arkansas, when, yeah,
Speaker 4: because they have an infant in the car. When their
Speaker 4: car mysteriously broke down, they didn't know why something has
Speaker 4: happened broke fucking down. The husband got out of the
Speaker 4: car and immediately knew something was off. Hmmm, something is
Speaker 4: not right here.
Speaker 7: Well, your car broke down, so probably something's not right
Speaker 7: when you call it, i'd assume.
Speaker 4: He later claimed to feel a low level jolt of
Speaker 4: electricity moved through his body, and that's when he smelled
Speaker 4: the obnoxious, innoxious smell that surrounded the monsters.
Speaker 6: Like baby, baby, baby, did you pup yourself?
Speaker 3: Baby baby?
Speaker 6: Did you pull you a diapo? He smells it, like
Speaker 6: shoves his nose right into the diaper, like, no, he's good.
Speaker 6: The husband and wife claimed that they saw a large
Speaker 6: reptilian creature floating across the highway and paid them no attention.
Speaker 6: They like, look over like.
Speaker 3: He's just like I'm just on my way over here.
Speaker 6: He's kind a briefcase, like I'm just going to work. Bitches. Man,
Speaker 6: it's like floating across the highway. It's just weird. It's
Speaker 6: just like imagine seeing that. And they're like flabbergasted. This thing.
Speaker 6: Doesn't even fucking pay two cents to what the hell
Speaker 6: they're doing.
Speaker 3: They're just like it just like maybe I got some
Speaker 3: melt in sight. Yeah, rich folk, Yeah.
Speaker 4: No, he was like I think sasquatch went this way,
Speaker 4: and he's just I think I smell him, and they're like,
Speaker 4: we smell you. It's telling that the monster didn't seem
Speaker 4: malicious in this instance. It's almost like the monster acts
Speaker 4: like a wild animal and only attacks when it feels threatened.
Speaker 4: So he didn't, you know, maybe his energy somehow fucked
Speaker 4: with the cars in some way and then he didn't
Speaker 4: even realize he did it. And then they get out
Speaker 4: like like, don't know what the fuck's happening, and then
Speaker 4: he's just like, man, sorry, and then this.
Speaker 6: Keeps floating away.
Speaker 3: Minutes. It could be so.
Speaker 4: Throughout various descriptions of the Flatwoods Monster, there are vague
Speaker 4: mentions of the metallic suit worn by the creature. Actually,
Speaker 4: a metallic suit is kind of too descripted. Some witnesses
Speaker 4: don't mention metal of any sort. Some say the creature
Speaker 4: was a reptilian headed sticking out of a metal saucer
Speaker 4: like object. So it's like it's like a weird little ufoa.
Speaker 4: Now I'm obviously a large one. And then it's like
Speaker 4: it is floating around, but it's like head sticks out
Speaker 4: of it and it's like a reptilian head. And then
Speaker 4: got the body of like a fucking flying disc, which
Speaker 4: is fucking creepier even than the original fucking guy with
Speaker 4: the little spin in the arms, Like, what the fuck
Speaker 4: is that thing?
Speaker 6: That's fun?
Speaker 7: I couldn't imagine seeing anything like even like that, I know,
Speaker 7: but this is back when when they haven't discovered a
Speaker 7: lot like this could be like, okay, so one, you're
Speaker 7: probably high. Two this could have just been a fucking
Speaker 7: like bear and he was not floating, he was walking,
Speaker 7: or like, you're pretty sure that was like ten feet
Speaker 7: in the air.
Speaker 4: I'm pretty sure that. I don't know if it was
Speaker 4: the fifties sixties, but you know, and the government has
Speaker 4: put acid into the water and shit, so like maybe
Speaker 4: they just like there's a little town in Virginia and
Speaker 4: want to kind of fuck with them. And then you
Speaker 4: got like NASA employees dressing up like a weird creature
Speaker 4: and they give everyone acid. They they make them think
Speaker 4: that they fucking see this creature. Who fucking knows, But well,
Speaker 4: what was that?
Speaker 7: Hell they did worse than that that, Like that old
Speaker 7: war broadcaster announcer that made everybody think the world was
Speaker 7: in saw.
Speaker 4: I wasn't George and that wasn't George, orwell wasn't out
Speaker 4: because he wrote that book something.
Speaker 6: His name was George or something like that. I can't
Speaker 6: remember what the fuck his name is.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and he scared everyone thinking that there's fucking UFOs
Speaker 4: and aliens coming down. Everyone freaked out. Yeah, that's a
Speaker 4: crazy that he did that. It's like, what a great prank.
Speaker 3: Man, hilarious freaking out.
Speaker 6: Oh shit, the.
Speaker 4: Aliens are coming and they're like packing their bags, like
Speaker 4: let's go to Canada.
Speaker 3: They had sound effects and everything, and yeah, we everyone.
Speaker 4: Thought it was fucking real, like an alienasion was happening.
Speaker 4: That's fucking crazy. What a crazy story. So yeah, I
Speaker 4: like so, and few researchers believe that it's an extraterrestrial
Speaker 4: biological entity wearing a hazardous material protection device. So and
Speaker 4: maybe because he's not from here, so he's got to
Speaker 4: wear a protective suit, so he doesn't maybe because who
Speaker 4: knows what these like we could just because we breathe
Speaker 4: oxygen and carbon dioxide or whatever, you know, it doesn't
Speaker 4: mean they do.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know what I mean.
Speaker 6: So they could need like how we need to.
Speaker 4: Wear like an astronaut suit on on the moon if
Speaker 4: we even went there. But you know that, like you know,
Speaker 4: we need we need a protective suit when we go
Speaker 4: outside of our atmosphere.
Speaker 6: Maybe they have the same kind of thing going.
Speaker 3: On, you know, maybe maybe it was.
Speaker 4: Yeah, maybe one witness to the original sighting claiming the
Speaker 4: monster wasn't actually an organic being but hovering.
Speaker 6: He was like hovering mechanical shell.
Speaker 4: So there's all these different ones if the monster was
Speaker 4: because it could be a robot. It's like doctor a
Speaker 4: fucking robot maic, you know what I mean, he doesn't
Speaker 4: have the fucking stupid mustache.
Speaker 3: Or it could just be a bunch of people tripping
Speaker 3: on the.
Speaker 6: Yeah, they the boys are.
Speaker 4: Out in the woods and they're like, these mushrooms look delicious,
Speaker 4: and I haven't had my lunch.
Speaker 6: They start chewing on mushrooms.
Speaker 3: Wonder why my fucking throats closing up there poison?
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's that could be true.
Speaker 4: Honestly, what a weird because I don't I've never heard
Speaker 4: somebody mention that because that could be you don't know, Uh,
Speaker 4: the monster was a robot or android. It may have
Speaker 4: been doing some reconnaissance work from whoever created it. That's
Speaker 4: why I was thinking, like he's either looking for Big Foy,
Speaker 4: He's just like.
Speaker 6: Where did my master go?
Speaker 3: I don't know, a crazy science well, who know?
Speaker 2: You know, like.
Speaker 4: Everything is possible. You know, you have like doctor Jacko
Speaker 4: on hide. Maybe you create a potion that turns him
Speaker 4: into this big hairy creature and then.
Speaker 6: This robot's like, where's my master?
Speaker 3: The need to find him.
Speaker 7: I feel like he'd want to like undo that he
Speaker 7: wouldn't want to be a big hairy creature.
Speaker 6: No, that's yeah, you wouldn't. You wouldn't want that. Who
Speaker 6: would want that?
Speaker 8: Dude?
Speaker 7: His deck's probably huge, though, but Harry animals don't mind.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I guess disgusting.
Speaker 4: So if this case, whoever created the robot obviously wasn't
Speaker 4: worried about that. It's stealthiness like because it just kind
Speaker 4: of foats around and is just kind of there.
Speaker 3: I don't care what you think.
Speaker 4: People with an interest in the Flatwoods Monster can argue
Speaker 4: themselves asleep about what the monster actually is.
Speaker 6: Is it an alien? Is it a cryptid, an intermentional traveler?
Speaker 6: All three?
Speaker 4: No one is ever come up with a definitive answer,
Speaker 4: or they on acid. But one thing that's undeniable is
Speaker 4: the government absolutely was aware about what happened in West
Speaker 4: Virginia in nineteen fifty two.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well they are aware, but they were just like everyone's.
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, and then I'm pretty sure I don't know
Speaker 4: if like I think they had like yeah, I think
Speaker 4: we get into it, but I think they did have
Speaker 4: like like Men in Black people show up, which eventually
Speaker 4: I do want to dive into the Men in Black
Speaker 4: on Stranger Podcast because it's fucking crazy. Like most times
Speaker 4: you think of like, you know, Will Smith and Tommy
Speaker 4: Lee Jones being cool guys hunting for aliens, but the
Speaker 4: most times they're almost like a robotic and alien like themselves.
Speaker 6: The Men in Black.
Speaker 4: They sometimes they have no like lips or eyebrows, and
Speaker 4: they show up at your door and he's got like
Speaker 4: fake lipstick on, and he's like, have.
Speaker 6: You've seen this alien before? Oh, do you have a
Speaker 6: glass of water?
Speaker 4: And you give him a glass of water and he
Speaker 4: charged to like pour it in his ear hole because
Speaker 4: he doesn't know where to fuck it.
Speaker 6: It's like fun.
Speaker 3: I don't know, I don't know, but.
Speaker 6: Yeah, they A lot of.
Speaker 4: Theories think that the Men in Black are some sort
Speaker 4: of alien or a robotic like creature too, and they
Speaker 4: show up and they're just like a little cyborgs, either
Speaker 4: from different dimensions or a planet, or like being.
Speaker 6: Like, we we lost one of our buddies and we're
Speaker 6: looking for him. He's gonna be here somewhere.
Speaker 3: That's weird.
Speaker 6: We'll getting the men in black stuff. Seven billion, Yeah,
Speaker 6: something like that. Hopefully COVID killed off of at least
Speaker 6: a billions.
Speaker 3: Joking it did a million.
Speaker 4: The entire town did see something fly across the sky
Speaker 4: on the night of the sighting of the monster, and
Speaker 4: there were three different theories about what it was. Most
Speaker 4: people believe it was a meteor rite, but there was
Speaker 4: other few folks that think it was actually a UFO.
Speaker 6: But maybe not a UFO but maybe a.
Speaker 4: Military craft that landed on the hillside. So maybe some
Speaker 4: experiment they were doing an Area fifty one or wherever.
Speaker 4: You know, there might could be another fucking base somewhere.
Speaker 4: There's you know, we talked about the dolf Se base.
Speaker 4: There's also the Denver Airport base. Could be it could
Speaker 4: be anything, right, so they said, fucking thing shows up
Speaker 4: and they think it's military.
Speaker 6: But before his.
Speaker 8: Death, Major Keyhole keyh his name is Major key Ho,
Speaker 8: I know.
Speaker 6: A former Marine corpse neighbor aviator.
Speaker 4: Yeah, so he's a marine, claim that the Air Force
Speaker 4: sent two military investigators to the flat Woods under the
Speaker 4: Sky's journalists to research the UFO.
Speaker 6: See, yes, they they hide them in plain sight.
Speaker 4: And she's like, you know, we're just we're just journalists,
Speaker 4: piece of paper, and I got a notepad.
Speaker 6: I'm a I'm a journalist. See my notepad.
Speaker 3: See it, it's I'm a journal it's.
Speaker 4: They determined that the UFO was actually a meteorite that
Speaker 4: only gave the impression of like a landing.
Speaker 6: But that's their theory.
Speaker 4: And as cool, like, you know, as cool as it
Speaker 4: would be to have an alien or robot, a cryptid
Speaker 4: thing invading West Virginia, the truth of the matter is
Speaker 4: that the Flatwood Monster may have just been a figment
Speaker 4: of an imagination of a bunch of freaked out kids.
Speaker 6: They're just freaking out.
Speaker 4: They know it's high, yeah, they or they know they're
Speaker 4: smoking weed, and they, you know, they see a weird
Speaker 4: thing with like a garbage pail on it. It's like
Speaker 4: a skunk running around with a garbage pail on its head,
Speaker 4: and they're I don't like that. I don't know, smeuse,
Speaker 4: they don't know what the fuck's going.
Speaker 9: On, like, I wanted to play with the Jenny, your
Speaker 9: story is fucking stupid. It's a boot ball, a blue ball.
Speaker 6: She was giving him blue balls.
Speaker 3: Eh, I was just saying, dumb kids. Start the wet.
Speaker 6: Blankets over at the CSI Corp.
Speaker 4: Deducted that the kids saw an alien because that's what
Speaker 4: they wanted, or they assumed they would see if they
Speaker 4: saw a meteorite or a crash from the heavens.
Speaker 5: You know.
Speaker 4: The May Brothers followed the UFO into the woods, smelled
Speaker 4: something horrible and saw a bunch of smoke, so it
Speaker 4: tracks that they would see an alien.
Speaker 6: They're like, you know, everything fits, the story fits. We're
Speaker 6: supposed to see an alien. Penis fits.
Speaker 4: However, it's most likely that they disturbed a barn owl
Speaker 4: that shrieked at them and flew.
Speaker 6: Off into the ninth.
Speaker 3: A fucking barn owl.
Speaker 6: I know how the it's supposed to be, like, well,
Speaker 6: I think it's like it was seven.
Speaker 3: Feet some ridiculous insane metal.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's about.
Speaker 4: Seven feet tall with a black body and a weird
Speaker 4: and and they's made of metal, So what the fuck?
Speaker 6: They didn't see no owl?
Speaker 4: Like, there's no way unless these kids are like dumb
Speaker 4: dums and you know, don't know what the difference between
Speaker 4: an owl and an alien is, but it is weird.
Speaker 6: It will get It.
Speaker 4: Is weird because you know when they saw a barn owl,
Speaker 4: But it is weird that you know a lot of stuff.
Speaker 4: Well let's get into it. But like, the owls show
Speaker 4: up in a lot of different UFO stories too. But
Speaker 4: from there, the Children's story spread and served as a
Speaker 4: basis for the myth of the Flatwood Monsters.
Speaker 3: Boy way that.
Speaker 4: Many alien abductees and witnesses of UFO phenomenon like the
Speaker 4: Flatwood Monsters have similar details in many of their stories,
Speaker 4: either the way they see an owl shortly before or
Speaker 4: after an alien interaction. So it's even in like I
Speaker 4: think it's in the Mothman prophecies, and there's another alien movie,
Speaker 4: maybe Closing Counters of the Fourth Kind, where an owl
Speaker 4: shows up. I definitely think it's from the Mothman prophecies,
Speaker 4: because an owl this I think it's this movie, sits at.
Speaker 6: The window and this lady doesn't what's going on.
Speaker 4: I think it's also in the Close Counters of the
Speaker 4: Fourth Kind, but this owl thing that sits there and
Speaker 4: watches them.
Speaker 6: Man it's like it's an omen to do with aliens.
Speaker 4: It seems like it does show up in a lot
Speaker 4: of alien abductee encounter of them seeing an owl.
Speaker 3: Okay, maybe they transform.
Speaker 6: Yeah, transformers, robots.
Speaker 3: In disguise owls, we're aliens. Yeah, so.
Speaker 4: Or they meet a creature that stranger looks like an owl.
Speaker 4: That's a lot of abductee cases too. But there's experiences
Speaker 4: known to the paranormal community as a screen memory, as
Speaker 4: a false image planted into the imagination of someone interacting
Speaker 4: with an extra trestion or keep them calm, which is weird,
Speaker 4: Like to keep you calm, We're just gonna put an
Speaker 4: image of an owl, not like a puppy dog or
Speaker 4: a kiddie. It's just like, what do we know about
Speaker 4: We know about owls, and owls are at night and
Speaker 4: everyone doesn't like owls because they're scary looking.
Speaker 3: Because well, I'm sleeping, I don't like it.
Speaker 6: There's an owl in here. Who's an owl?
Speaker 3: Two?
Speaker 6: But that's stupid. But yeah, that's just weird. And there's
Speaker 6: a lot of in cases where they do do that.
Speaker 4: They do do that do they put the fucking image
Speaker 4: into your brain and make you think you're seeing something
Speaker 4: that you're actually not. That's why if females have dreams
Speaker 4: about celebrities that suppose a reptilian is casting that image
Speaker 4: in their.
Speaker 6: Head and then they're raping them. They're raping them. Rape rape, rape.
Speaker 3: Could be true, Probably isn't.
Speaker 4: Up until two thousand and six, the flat Wood Monsters
Speaker 4: held a three day festival celebrating the creature, and he
Speaker 4: even makes his appearance in the Legend of Zelda Majora's
Speaker 4: Mask as the inspiration for the design of the alien
Speaker 4: that appears.
Speaker 6: Prior to the carnival time. Uh, steal cattle.
Speaker 3: Fuck, yeah, that was this monster. Oh shit, it is crazy.
Speaker 4: Because it's he's he's been in video games. He's inspired
Speaker 4: a lot of things, Like he's in what's that one game?
Speaker 4: I'm drawing a blank?
Speaker 6: Uh uh oh uh.
Speaker 3: Oh.
Speaker 6: What can't I think of this?
Speaker 3: Like you do that a lot.
Speaker 7: You go oh, and then like when you say it,
Speaker 7: I think you think if you say the word, it's
Speaker 7: just gonna come right after.
Speaker 6: But why can't I think of this? Oh, fla fallout,
Speaker 6: fallout four? I think it's four. You you have you
Speaker 6: have to fight a.
Speaker 4: Creature that is literally like the flat Woods monster and
Speaker 4: stuff and it's like a boss.
Speaker 3: And he's super hard to be rid of a BioShock. Yeah,
Speaker 3: but it's not in that, but it's in Submarine middle Man.
Speaker 6: I didn't like fun. I kept fucking die. Everyone just
Speaker 6: kills me and I villagers and they don't like me.
Speaker 10: I know.
Speaker 6: The Flatwoods Monster.
Speaker 4: UH, simple yet creepy description has led to multiple game
Speaker 4: designers uh to put it into their work. The most
Speaker 4: on the nose video game reference comes from the forgotten
Speaker 4: ny S game uh armagone, where the creature plays a
Speaker 4: part as a final boss. So it has influence. I
Speaker 4: don't know what the funk that is. Either, it has
Speaker 4: influenced stuff in modern day culture and video games. They
Speaker 4: have some books and even in TV shows like I'm
Speaker 4: sure he makes his appearance somewhere and uh and in
Speaker 4: the X Files or something.
Speaker 6: So it's a weird story. It's a weird fucking creature.
Speaker 6: Nobody knows where is they. I think they still kind
Speaker 6: of celebrate to an extent.
Speaker 4: But it was just two It's two stories that kind
Speaker 4: of made its way to the forefront, and then people
Speaker 4: started to kind of it's the same way Bigfoot is,
Speaker 4: but Bigfoot's a big thing where you know, you don't
Speaker 4: have people hunting this fucker.
Speaker 6: You got people like my name is Jim, and I
Speaker 6: hunt Bigfoot.
Speaker 4: I swear I saw him in the forest a couple
Speaker 4: of months ago, and I just I want to find
Speaker 4: out where he's at.
Speaker 6: Man, he seems like a nass guy.
Speaker 7: He's different and I'm different, and we're both different.
Speaker 10: And I saw him one day and we chewed tobacco
Speaker 10: together and spiting each other's mouths, and then I kiss
Speaker 10: Bigfoot and all we had quite a time running away.
Speaker 4: Some of these guys that hunt Bigfoot has really got
Speaker 4: hard on for him, like they really need him in
Speaker 4: like nothing else, ye, like nothing else in their life.
Speaker 4: It's like my wife left me because I've been so
Speaker 4: obsessed with Bigfoot. All I do is drop big Foot
Speaker 4: pictures and and I you know, I go out hunting
Speaker 4: and I shoot my cousin by accident and then.
Speaker 3: Now accidentally on purpose. He took he ate my last
Speaker 3: drumstick that I saved from me.
Speaker 4: Well that was a fun one. And and you know,
Speaker 4: I just wanted to dive into I like getting into cryptids.
Speaker 4: There's sometimes more meat to the stories than others. But
Speaker 4: another flatwood Monster was a good way to cover He's
Speaker 4: a weird alien thing.
Speaker 6: What do you what do you think the Flatwoods Monster
Speaker 6: is a.
Speaker 3: Fat, homeless guy that has skunks in his roles.
Speaker 4: I think it might be an intimensual creature that showed
Speaker 4: up that kind of appeared in this reality, didn't know
