Between Braxton and Webster Counties - Charleston, West Virginia
(Braxton Monster?) December 31, 1960
The Daily Mail carried a story headed "Is Braxton Monster
Back?" Mrs. Charles Stover had told the newspaper that when her
husband was driving home about eleven o'clock on a backwoods road near
Hickory Flats, between Braxton and Webster Counties, he rounded a curve
and saw "the monster, standing erect, with hair all over his face
and body." The thing was only 6 feet tall, which should have convinced
the reporter that it couldn't be the original "Braxton Monster."
That was described in September of 1952, by a woman from Flatwoods, who
said she had seen a "Monster about ten feet tall, with face fiery
red,a green body and a headpiece which looked like the ace of spaces."
The 1952 report is supposed to have drawn 10,000 to 15,000 visitors to
the area. The Braxton County Monster has nothing whatever to do with the sasquatch. See this 1952 original news article: http://www.bigfootencounters.com/creatures/braxton.htm

Another report dated July 1968: Mason County West Virginia
"There are no bears in Mason County, but in November 1966, Mr. Cecil
Lucas saw three bear-like creatures sniffing around an oil pump in his
field. His farm is located a few hundred yards from the McDaniel home
and is on the banks of the Ohio. When he came out of the house to investigate,
the dark hairy forms ran off erect towards the river, disappearing into
the thicket.
