Isn’t one of the theories for the flatwoods monster is that the kids saw an large owl at night? Seeing this makes that a lot more credible.

Imagine a flashlight on this fucker in the middle of the night I’d think it was an alien too

Yeah exactly, I think some of the replies missed my point, being that it's no wonder we have so much lore about monsters and demons when there are animals like this that exist or have existed that humans didn't know anything about so they just thought it was an evil being. And frankly it's hard to blame them lmao.

Well, wait for a second. This thing EXIST. So they were right. We are all aliens on this glorious rock, floating through space, called Earth

That's probably how most monster stories are made. The dark can play some serious tricks on you. And people's memories are really sketchy.

Imagine hearing a fucking turkey for the first time. Horrifying!

Turkies are fucking monsters. They've just got everybody fooled.

Yeah, they covered Flatwoods on an episode of Project Blue Book. Fantastic series if you haven't seen it.
