Now that you're finished with the horror of Thanksgiving (turkey), join us as we examine a real life horror, straight out of Illinois.
The enfield horror is a cryptid seen in the southern part of Illinois beginning on April 25, 1973. Reports started from a single source, Henry McDaniel, who heard scratching on his door in the evening around 9:30. Upon closer investigation, McDaniel found a strange creature that hissed like a wild cat, was 4.5 feet tall and gray, wih three legs, two short arms, and big pink eyes. Later, additional witnesses would claim to have seen the cryptid and the event actually served as a case study for social contagion in an academic paper written 5 years later.
