Strange Indiana Monsters

[mad30]

Looking in to an interview with the author.


There are strange monsters in Indiana. Some are grudgingly called "hypothetical" species by the state's Department of Natural Resources; others are merely exotic, overlooked, or "hidden" animals, that people think are extinct or just not possible in the Hoosier State. Read about: Exotic reptiles and fish overlooked on official rosters, "Extinct" cougars that refuse to disappear, Alien big cats (including lions and black panthers), Lake and swamp monsters, Freshwater cephalopods, Phantom kangaroos and "Devil Monkeys," Bigfoot, mer people, lizard men, giant birds, and A 40-foot dragon. Explore the Indiana monsters that date from the early nineteenth century to modern times. Indiana's creatures will fascinate you as much as the intrepid hunters who stalk them.

HAha.
This reminds me of the elusive Knightridge Panther.
It existed for generations...but was it really a panther?
hmmm.

Yeah, I love this stuff, Cryptozoology. I'll be on the lookout for more like this from the area.

We've already got about 30 local "Paranormal Investigation" groups through the Myspace so hopefully we can connect with them more in the weeks to come as well.

The Crawfordsville Monster
One of the most bizarre of all cryptozoological cases comes out of Crawfordsville, Indiana during September of 1891. A story carried by the Indianapolis Journal for September 5th said that at two o'clock the previous morning a "horrible apparition" appeared in the sky overhead, where two men who were working on a wagon saw it. The men estimated that the creature was about one hundred feet in the air, twenty feet long and eight feet wide.
