Ep.25 The Flatwoods Monster

September 12, 1952. A quiet evening in the small town of Flatwoods, West Virginia, was shattered by a flash in the sky followed by one of the most eerie close encounters in American UFO lore. In this episode of Brief Encounters, we retrace the footsteps of a group of frightened children, a local mother, and a National Guardsman who claimed to come face to face with something not of this world. What they described defied logic: glowing eyes, a metallic dress, claw-like hands, and a floating motion that suggested it wasn't walking, but gliding. Was it a government experiment gone wrong, a misidentified owl, or something much stranger? Join us as we examine why the legend of the Flatwoods Monster still haunts the hills of Appalachia.Brief Encounters is a tightly produced, narrative podcast that dives headfirst into the world of UFO sightings, the paranormal, cryptids, myths, and unexplained legends.
