## Resource

West Virginia plays home to some of the most bizarre beasts and eccentric entities ever put to paper, but even among its outlandish ilk, there's one that stands out from the rest: the Flatwoods Monster. For all that's been written about this mechanical goliath, the story most know is only a small part of the truth. When all the surviving accounts are stitched together, what emerges is something much stranger—and potentially far more terrifying—than most would dare to imagine.
